Like flat cola. Diet of course. That's how I felt when I got our new menu plans. I too was shocked and appalled when I spyed the sans carbs requirement in the evening.

| Goodbye my friends.... |
BUT looking at things positively I guess it's not so bad considering I was already down to 50 grams up until yesterday. So in some ways it's easier to have no carbs than have a pitiful spoonful of moreishness staring right back at me from my plate. I also see that my servings for breakfast and lunch are almost unchanged so - yay! However tricky situations are on the horizon. Not quite sure how I am going to handle my work dinner on Thursday night and the b'day dinner I have planned for Saturday. The work dinner is a triple whammy of (i) mandatory attendance (ii) a set menu and (iii) tranidtional Cantonese cuisine. Surely that has to be three strikes?? PCP diet going down in flames right there. I'll report back on that one. Whereas for the b'day dinner I am taking out a good friend for an overdue celebration. It has been planned for a while and I can’t really offer to take my friend out and then scale back the invite with a PCP compliant caveat i.e. let's celebrate!!!! (although I'm only going to watch you eat and not drink). Gah!!!! What to do?
I was pretty grumpy this morning when I got up to do my exercises. I'm suffering from pretty terrible cramps today. Surprisingly the skipping helped though by the time I got through my last set of squats I was balled up on the ground and needed to take a break so I plan to finish the rest of my exercises at home tonight. Gilles also bought me a more flexible band (pink!) so let's see how I face off with the dreaded da vinci's.
I thought I would post this pretty pic of last night's dinner courtesy of my personal chef (thanks Gilles). A vertiable kaleidoscope of goodness. Bon Appetit!
Hard to believe we are already on Day 22. Almost one third of the way there guys!
Hang in there! I'm pretty grumpy in the mornings too... But I find that I'm grumpier in the evenings if I hadn't done my dreaded skips!
ReplyDeleteI've got a "weak" pink resistencr band too hehe which I use for most exercises but use a firmer one for the rowing
I hear you on the no carbs thing. Meat and veggies... boo. Oh well I knew this day would probably come and I am excited to see the changes in store. I too picked up a lighter band for shoulder raises and the divinci's. It is much easier to get through the work out and I feel like I am getting more out of the exercises. Plus when I am stronger I can move my feet apart a bit and create a little more resistance.
ReplyDeleteGilles your food looks absolutely amazing!! Look at how its plated, for a PCP dish that looks down right spectacular! Tanya I am jealous!
