So, week one has ended. I haven't been the most prolific blogger, but here are some highlights.
Equipment - we picked this up, including electric scales on tuesday. First weigh in I was:
101kg
The half diet was interesting, started the week feeling quite hungry, but the big challenge came on Friday. Normally the day when I am at my most unhealthy, with quite a few drinks and a meal out the norm.
This Friday I went for a swim at the beach straight after work with my wife and then on to a light dinner at a beach front thai restaurant. All in all pretty good. Then went home and had half a bottle of wine.
Saturday (minus a hangover) I got up and collected our freshly delivered box of organic vegetables and we used this to make an egg white omelette, which was very nice. Then headed off for a nice hike from discovery bay to Mui Wu in Lantau. Very hot and sweaty (33 deg) but we did it quite quickly and then had a nice refreshing dip in the sea to cool off.
We got home, did the mandatory pcp exercises (I have been trying to do more than the minimum sets and reps) and then got ready for going out. Quick dinner on the waterfront in stanley (not quite half portions, i shared a starter, had a salad for main and no dessert) then off to the movies. Diet coke, no pop corn or snacks.
Home - half a bottle of wine, or to be more accurate, shared two different half bottles. knowing that next week will get tough, I wanted to savour a couple of last drinks!! Very nice....
Turkey flats barossa shiraz 06
D'Arenberg The Dead Arm 07
Both highly recommend, and a nice last drink before the painful period starts!!!
Anyway...better go, have some skipping to do.
Over and out
