Day 71- Refelctive

Felt very tired and defeated last night and thought I was going to stray as I was out with friends adn a friends brother doing some bridesmaid duties. They all ordered delicious dinners and I thought I'd wait until I got home to have my egg whites (but when it gets agter 10 I tend to skip dinner and go to bed which is really bad I know) but i saw my friends fish cakes came with a poached egg adn although, being the amazing friend she is, she was willing to donate it to me we asked hte kitchen if they would make me poached egg and they did! so I let the yoke run out and I ate the white. I was so pleased that they accomodated me. I didn't want to skip another dinner. I've learned that there are knock on effects of doing that and I hope I don't ever do it again. Got to keep the metabolism active.

So I've got 40 minutes of extra cardio everday now. My work outs are 90 minutes plus now. I wish there was some way I could buy some time! With work, commute, work out and food prep I have no spare time on week days now and have promised myself NO EVENING COMMITMENTS until I'm finished.

However, I have to go to the Edinburgh festival next saturday for 5 days for work. That is going to be a nightmare for PCP. I have gym membership to a gym up there so hopefully I can get a good session in everyday hopefully find the one place in town that sells fruit and veg!?

I feel spurred by anxiety at the moment that time is running out and the 'after' picture I see in my head is not the picture I see in the mirror.... I really want to bosh out those extra cardio hours and burn off all that is left!

You guys all seem to be doing so great Conny's pictures and a great inspiration, and Tracey you are doing amazingly well. Keep it up guys for a strong finnish!

  1. Fleur, believe me I have stalled since my last picture. Been going out every night in Bali for the past 3 weeks and therefore not quite in line with the food for dinners. As a result as I have had to gauge the evening food, plus a few things have crept in that shouldn't... breadsticks and wine. All other meals are OK, but have not always been able to fit in the fruit snack so not sure what my metabolism thinks it is doing. So I am also definitely not where I want to be at Day 72 and am panicking big time (actually I did that last week when I went into a complete and utter blue funk).
    Also not sure quite how to fit in the extra 30 minutes cardio that I have been allocated as commitments with the kids make it already difficult to do the exercises. Didn't manage to do the extra cardio today, but hope that I can tomorrow. You sound like you have kept to the food part really well, so give yourself a huge pat on the back for that. Once I get back home to Tokyo on Sunday I aim to really focus on not going out at all and just sticking to the food regime to the last gramme. Hope that works. Then it is all down to post-PCP and the strength to do whatever it is the is the magic formula.

  2. Restaurants can be good if you ask them for what you need but are also a supreme test of willpower - all that yummy food to choose for that you don't have to cook or clean up!
