The days are ticking along well now.
Feeling in a groove with counting grams and planning my day around food and workouts. I am sure I will lose and rediscover this groove a few times over the course of this adventure but for now I will ride the wave.
Felt a tad light headed before lunch but fine since eating. Got the workout done while bubs was napping again so it is done and dusted. Had serious jelly legs and arms afterwards I guess from push ups followed by tricep dips and all those lunges.
Max woke up shortly after the workout and the music was still on and I was feeling pumped and energetic so danced around the living room with the baby as my partner. He loved it and I haven't felt this much energy in a while. Thank you PCP!! This is the main reason I wanted to do this program.
Food good - we are fortunate to have sashimi grade fish available everywhere here in Tokyo. So with the big stash of vegies in the fridge and the wholemeal english muffins I found today there was lunch sorted. The pre-prepared vegies in the fridge are a great suggestion as they make the base of most of my meals. Last night it was pho noodles and shrimp with vegies, lime and chilli. Tonight it will be grilled chicken, brown rice and vegies with some chinese 5 spice. So with a few PCP friendly condiments I can change up the menu.
Earlier this week I had a big stash of salad so had baked salmon alfoil parcels, salad and pesto pasta for one meal, wraps for another etc. You get the idea. Hubby needs variety as he is a big foodie and bubs needs finger grippable solids too so I have alot to consider.
You have this DOWN! This organization will really help you nail the most important part of the PCP.
ReplyDeleteJelly legs means that your muscles are learning something new. The strength you get in them, and muscles will be a joy to behold in a little while!
Enjoy the highs of this journey, the energy, great skin and hair, the deeper sleeps.
I'm in Tokyo too and was very grateful for sashimi during the PCP. Still am!
