Am writing Day 55 blog only slightly ahead of midnight. Why am I up so late? Because I have spent a lot of time making my breakfast, lunch, dinner, 3 fruit snacks and egg whites for the journey tomorrow as there is no way that the airplane will be able to cater to my egg white requirements etc. So I am armed and ready to go.
Not sure if I will be able to do Kung Fu sit-ups tomorrow morning as won't have time to run to the park as well as do all my exercises and not panic about getting kids, suitcases etc in the car to Narita. Luckily I drive and drop off. Best deal in the world. Door to door in about an hour which makes the whole Narita saga very bearable.
Watched Soul Surfer this afternoon and as a result, despite having felt so leaden all day I just sailed through the exercises. Not a single thought of JFD on my mind. Was just happy that I could do my pushups (all of them) on my toes. The plank though remains another matter entirely. I am ashamed to say that I am only up to 20 seconds full plank, then 20 seconds leaning on right knee and 20 seconds leaning on left knee. But I will get there. It just takes me a lot longer than most people. Had planned to compensate for dweeb-like plank performance with 8MA, but as I have to get up at 5.30am (I am NOT an early riser by nature) I think I would benefit more from going to bed. If I don't do my exercises before I leave tomorrow I know I won't do them once I get to Bali.
So am signing off here an now.......
