The resort we are staying at in Okinawa is perfect for a few different reasons. It is super easy with the baby, food is easy to navigate on the buffets and there is a gym and a lap pool.
So this morning I did my skips in a new environment for the first time and I killed them. I tried out a whole bunch of new moves. I was moving around the gym jogging, knee lifts, shuffles, bunny hops and then with some expert oves like double rotations and cross overs. Of course I tripped all over the place but I had a heap of fun.
For the workout there was a heap of useful equipment including a pull-up bar. I was really looking forward to trying some pull-ups and kung fu sit ups for the first time. It turns out I can't even hang from the bar. So while I valiantly attempted pull ups, to an observer it would have just looked like I was trying to hang on to a bar.
I gave up on the kung fus after a single set and used the bars where you rest on your forearms and lift up your legs. Same muscle group workout and I did really feel it more than the hanging on way. Spent some time on the stair master for extra cardio and then jumped into the pool with my boys for a frolic.
Food has been average. It is so hard to negotiate when outside your natural habitat. At the airport yesterday I had the safest thing possible - vegetable soba - but I suspect too much salt, too many carbs, not enough veg and no protein. But certainly a better option than sandwiches slathered in mayo.
Dinner last night was yakiniku buffet so easy to keep PCP compliant. Breakfast this morning was another buffet so again all was fine for me to eyeball the grams. I swiped some fruit for my snack. As I am only away for two days I brought all my eggs with me. Lunch today at the aquarium was a veg, chicken pita and some rice pilaf so a bit salty but not too bad.
Tonight will be the indulgence meal and we are planning to go for a big Okinawan feast - when in Rome.
Haven't read other blogs today but I hope you are all fine. I am about to head to the pool for a pre-dinner swim.
I made the assumption that since you hadn't blogged yet today you were having a whale of a time! Good to hear that you aced the rope. Hope that you enjoy Day 2 of the trip too and have a fabulous time blowing out tonight!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your dinner - you definitely deserve it. Sounds like you are being far better than I was on hols. I'm HATING myself for it now. I think I might end up finishing weightwise the same as where I started!! Thanks for all your messages btw. If you can find the time to blog, keep us entertained, and be nice back to us, then I don't really have an excuse but it has been hectic.
