We have been super busy going places with the kids and getting up incredibly early the past 2 days so I made a strategic error in deciding to try to do my exercises at night. But then everything has been running late so by the time we get back we are running straight back out the door to dinner. Staying with friends makes it a bit more challenging for me to take that hour out and keep everyone else waiting and at the end of the day I am too exhausted to do anything. So for the past 3 days I have been doing no exercises and also didn’t manage to skip yesterday. Thought about trying to catch up and then decided, draw a line….. to just get back on the bicycle and start afresh, on the correct day, Day 66, not Day 64 or Day 63 or Day 65… was checking to see if there were any exercises that were more palatable, but no, it all looks painful.
Maybe by day 90 I will have improved on my skipping. But I JFD it although the past few times I have wanted to give up. I also have to realize that we are supposed to get to muscle failure and that I have to separate that from feeling like a failure. Mental challenge here we come. Failure left right and centre today.
Am finding internet access very difficult here. Posting blogs and commenting on other people’s blogs is excruciating as the connection often disappears (very frustrating when you just written a comment that goes “poof” into oblivion). Watching Patrick’s videos is a total no-go area, so am 2 weeks behind there. Still not sure if the 4 x 12 V-sits that I have substituted for the kung fu sit-ups are correct as I have also seen reference to 4 x 16…. I suppose I should just go for the most to try to get this 6-pack. Very curious now also to find out what the tunnel vision is. But that will have to wait another week and a half until I get back to Tokyo so that I can download the clips.
Other than that the food is OK. Difficult to manage in the evenings but am trying my best to eat salad with a little bit of protein. Probably eating a bit too much protein. Have noticed the past 2 nights that I am so hungry by the time that I get to dinner that I have been stealing bread sticks from the bread basket. Will need to find a remedy for that. Am eating a lot later than I would chose to do, but again, cannot control that so just have to find a way to control myself. Maybe munch on some beans or corn (that’s what I have available in the fridge) before we head out so that at least there is something in my tummy.
