Day 58

Back from Venice...
We made a super quick trip to Europe to go to a wedding in Venice and I am tired...  I did not break ALL the rules but had more than one transgression.  Still at 51.5 kg but muscle tone is suffering.  I am started to see new training plan for the week...

day 50

The exercises are getting taugh and loooong.  The pistol squats are a mistery to me.  I hope I am doing them right and not developing muscles that i definitely don't want to develop.  It is funny how food perception has changed for me.  I am  still starving sometimes but the unlimited amount of vegs in the new diet has made my day.  I wonder how we will continue this lifestyle forever without becoming hermits.

Day 43

I have been a little derailed in the last few weeks.  I am behind with the exercising part but I will try to give pcp a decent shot this week.  I am maintaining the weight but with the move and the kids in a new environment I feel exhausted.  I need an injection of energy...

Day 32

I feel terrible because I haven't exercised in a  few days; it was either empty boxes and settle or train.  I hope I can catch up.  My weight has gone down a bit but I am really hungry at night.  Alex is keeping up even traveling so I won't have an excuse when he comes back.  PCP is loooong.

Day 25

My recurrent thought all day long was what I am going to eat for my indulgence  escapade... I went through the jumps, push-ups (hideous) and other exercices thinking solely about chocolate cakes vs cheese-cake, etc.   Patrick, please tell us that this agony is not join got last 2 more months...and that the worse is behind us. Yet, for some reason I think I am dreaming.  The thing is that even starving as I am, I am not loosing much weight. Also, I notice that my arm muscles are more defined but my bum looks the same as before.  I will defienetly trade Bruce Lee's body for Giselle's bum.
Good news are that my skin feels better (1st time in weeks).  I also feel a little less hungry than before (I was literally  grumpy from not eating enough).  I still have faith...

Day 23

I am very hungry.  I did not do the training yesterday because it was late and I was too tired.  I felt lightheaded all day.  My weight did not go down at all.  I will exercise today in spite of all the boxes that surround me.  The house looks like a war zone...

Day 19

After reading in Patrick's blog that the spots in my face are normal I feel better.   I just hope that the baby skin manifests soon... I am hungry and surrounded by a million boxes.  Just took a huge cake from the oven but at the moment I have more humble dreams; a nectarine would do... I am loosing some weight slowly but have not been able to work out yesterday.  I will do Day 19 jumps et all  tonight . I hope the obsession with food goes away.

Day 18

Well, I am in the middle of a monumental MESS but still eating broccoli.I haven't lost any weight (well in fact I put on 400 grs since Monday which is a bit discouraging).  I am at 52.4kg today.  I am normally a kg less. I am dying to have more fruit. The evening meal is kind of sad after  a day with the movers and the boxes.

Day 16

Hi from Hong Kong.  We are theoretically (Alex is traveling) all together under the same roof.  I derailed briefly from the pcp during the one trip from Honolulu but I am back on track again, having down the 800 jumps yesterday evening.  The afternoon is long with not that much food but the boxes that I stuff that I have to organize inside the house keeps me busy.  I was 52.1 kg this morning; I guess the no carbs in the evening is working.

Day 11

Today was tougher.  I had more carbs than I should have (stole some pasta from my 4 year old daughter's plate and could not resist some pop corn watching harry Potter 7.  I think that to eliminate the love handles is not going to be a piece of cake...

Day 10

I have been sooo hungry!  I realised that every morning the amounts look big but as evening approaches I become more and more hungry... The small amounts of fruit are the toughest bit. My legs feel soar, I guess from the skipping.  My weight is going down, roughly 400 grs a day.  I am surprised since the quantities (mainly of veg!) are substantial and i am eating late which I thought was not good to loose weight.

Day 9 (as I am 17 hs behind Tokyo)

I just read Patrick's email (from my daughter's computer since mine DIED FOREVER yesterday) and I am overwhelmed with the technology challenge...My computer DIED 24 hs ago and I am writing this from my daughter's MAC...
Re diet, I am trying to eat the big amounts of food but it is too much food, well too much of the foods that I don't feel like eating.  The big load of broccoli first thing in the morning is quite something.

Day 6

Hi all!  I am sick with a sort of flu since yesterday. Body ache, shivers, etc.  I did not skip yesterday and probably won't do it today. Hopefully I will catch up tomorrow!

Before the storm...

It is Saturday morning here in Hawaii, 2 days before I start PCP.  I am curious! I hope I can stick to it for 3 months; it is a loooong time...
