Flew back into Tokyo this morning from Glasgow via London. Heathrow a nightmare as always. Now see how difficult it is to coordinate date lines, food on the plane and exercise. Woke up early to skip and do ab work and then voila before you know it there is no time in the airline lounge to do the rest of your workout. So that was a washout. But I stayed true to PCP form combining stuff to eat from the plane as well as loads I veggies I had brought on board with me. But then I wondered if I should have religiously stayed on UK time re eating patterns or should I have adjusted. Anyway I decided to stick with a rigid UK timing.
On arrival at home, as always, cannot stay awake so went to bed. Will eat "breakfast" (?) at 8pm after doing my skipping, or perhaps go through to "kunch" and cut carbs. Ready to go back to bed soon after that. Was thinking about doing my skipping before I went to bed, however the raging winds and driving rain kind of put me off. Skipping in a typhoon... should be fun.
Just read Patrick's Day 49 e-mail and have already blown my indulgence, or at least that is the way that I am going to look at it. I reckon 5 glasses of wine (largish ones) equates to about 500-700 calories. I can already tell you the results of this indulgence. NOT GOOD. Don't do it. Maybe it was just my body reacting badly, but the way I reacted to the wine was definitely not worth it. I wonder if that means that I have converted into a 1-2 glasses of wine girl only.
I was quite excited to see my scales again. Hopped on after the flight and had a major emotional setback. I am down only 2kg from the start of PCP. After my sleep however, I was down another kilo. Made me feel marginally better. Must be doing something wrong though as the weight seems to be dropping off everyone else. It's strange because I feel a lot lighter and slimmer and even my tummy is starting to go down. Even tried my bikini on and was pleasantly surprised when my 10-year old daughter (my harshest critic) told me that I looked good and that she had never seen me in a bikini.
