Day 75: Jet-lag???!!!!!

I think I have to attribute this feeling of major jet-lag proportions to the last two action packed days with the kids in Bali and then an overnight flight with no sleep at all. Today has been a write-off. My husband must be really glad to see me! Not.

Three weeks in Bali with the kids to avoid the heat of Tokyo and sending them off to horse riding camp and Green Camp was absolutely fabulous, but not recommended if you are eating in restaurants every single night. Breakfast and lunch and fruit snacks all OK, but dinner was more difficult as I found it difficult to gauge protein quantities and think I may have been over generous. Plus extreme hunger made me reach for bread sticks some nights, and in the latter week wine was drunk (not in vast quantities, but not zero). So I have already had my small indulgence. My daughter had brought a mille feuille back to Tokyo with her and hadn't eaten it so I had that this afternoon. It is now 6.30pm and she has just asked where it is. She looked a little shocked when I said I had eaten it.

So my last indulgence?..... YUMMY! I felt guilty because I had snuck one in yesterday too pre-flight. So I have thoroughly had my indulgence and LOVED it. No feeling sick. But conscious of really enjoying it and knowing that from today to the end of PCP I will NOT be going out for dinner and will stick 1000% to the dietary requirements. I beat myself up sufficiently in Bali about not sticking 100% to the track and know that I have to be very strict with myself for a lot longer. But then I knew that anyway as the PCP diet is close to the metabolic type diet that I am supposed to be on for about 6-12 months. On PCP I have actually gone off that one as in order to add carbs I have eaten brown rice and grain bread which I am not strictly supposed to in order to get rid of a fungal infection. Wine doesn't help that either, but got so tired of only drinking water that I really enjoyed my daily Bali coffee and the few glasses of wine.

I will miss my gado gado. Steamed veggies (and lots of variety in the one portion) to order has been fabulous. Had it every single day, wherever I went.

I finally managed to watch Week 8 and Week 9 videos. It would have helped me a lot if I had been able to do so at the time. I SO HAVE TUNNEL VISION! Will work that one out.
