Day 65 - giddyup: back in action

Day 65 and going great. I finally could get to a workout and day 65 is a tough one. Finally got my Mac back from the Mac store so I could upload photos. alas unfortunately the numbers on the keyboard do not work (I am using my backup for this).. anyhoo..

Workout is great - could really feel it. Still cannot do the full planks - failure around 45 to 50 seconds but going on to failure. Did extra sets on the chest workouts.

OK - why do I have so much more time. Well, I evacuated my two labs out close to Osaka which was very sad although good in a way - removes stress. The Japanese are amazing and having a Japanese friend is for life. A Japanese friend from my late teens is still a good friend. I called and within 2 minutes said yes - of course to my favour. I can not leave my post - although this friend agreed to drive to Tokyo to take my dogs for a while.

So the guy drove over 600kms to Tokyo to pick them up and they are on-route back to his place now.  The reason I sent them was not because there is a danger - there are two reasons: I am now less encumbered for my current work .. and on the chance I am evacuated to the Embassy bunker (extremely unlikely) and with the no-dog policy I would not be abondoning them. So they are good and I will drive over next week and pick them up.

I have posted up photos of Day 58 (last week) and Day 64 photos of yesterday.  Lost heaps of weight - but abs are still not showing. I am hoping in these last 25 days my belly will harden and flatten or show the allusive abs - without flexing.

Diet is OK - I bulk bought milk, eggs and yogurt - so have plenty. Other things like vegetables, protein are available: so - so far so good.

OK - on again tomorrow from 5pm to 1am. That gives me time to work out before. Onward and upward team.
