Need to choose 1 day from week 1 or 2 - Well, I should choose day 1! I remember feeling I am going to die after skipping - took shower but could not stop sweating... I am 5kg lighter than that time and I cannot do in 1 go but can do 2000 skips now.
I did "Day 9" - 600 skipping took me only 5 min., looks like I have hurt my left shoulder so other exercise was bit difficult. But I really can feel the difference - 90 day was long but it was great. 90 days sounds long but now I know why we needed 90 days - now I do not miss potato chips or French fries...

Day 89 - 28th May (Sat)
My body is really complaining - my shoulder, ankle, back - it hurts everywhere!
Day 88 - 27th May (Fri)
went to shopping after work so by the time I finished all the work out, it was already 11pm.. Skipping after the sets are pretty tough... Well few more days to go....
Friday 27 May 2011
Day 87 - 26th May (Thu)
Food - as I eat lots of veg. for lunch, sometimes I cannot eat my bread (will eat around 6 pm though)
Davinci never be that tough one for me but the super-set was really tough - especially after floor jumps!

Day 86 - 25th May (Wed)
"Failure"for Plank does not work for me as after 30 secs I think I cannot do any more ... Patrick is expecting us to do more than 1min 45 secs, I believe. 1st one I did 1 min 30 secs but the rest is a lot shorter.. I felt bad so did 7 sets but still not enough... I am such a "Failure"
Tuesday 24 May 2011
Day 85 - 24th May (Tue)
I was planning to do skipping in the morning so set alarm at 5:30 am - well, could not make it...
Monday 23 May 2011
Day 84 - 23rd May (Mon)
Someone left huge tray of brownie in the kitchen (office) and left note saying "Help yourself!"
Needed to see "Help yourself ! (Except Mimi!)" Had half teaspoon size and I could not believe how good it was! I still haven't had indulgence... But I do not want to as I did not do any exercise yesterday & I haven't lost enough weight...
30 min on the StairMaster but I think my heart rate is not high enough - did 21 min.of skipping when I got home...

Day 82 - 21st May (Sat)
Busy day again - problem with electricity & workers came, had to fix transformer in the planter so had to ask for help of gardener - 5-6 people working in the house...
Was waiting for them to finish all to do exercise - then started raining....
Did sets but no skipping....

Day 81 - 20th May (Fri)
TGIF - really want to go home straight...
Lunch was really good - egg plant & bell pepper pasta + grilled salmon... Really filling. I guess I am now having 100g of carb. so may be that is why. I was so full after having veg and fish yesterday and left my bread for later (had it around 6 pm though) Like what Patrick said in the video, we do not need that much grain...
Pretty crappy week work wise so I need something to make me happy...

Day 80 - 19th May (Thu)
Wow - Day 80! I should be happy but to be honest, it is a bit mixed feeling...
1.Can I lose bit more weight in 10 days? - I want good result as I have spent 80 days dieting!
2. What is going to happen after PCP - Will I be lazy and get fatter again? - too many temptation in the real world...
My back hurts from all the exercise..

Day 77 - 16th May (Mon)
Didn't do any sets yesterday - so have to do it today. It actually fits better for me as weekday is "work day & work-out day" Also so much temptation at home - books / TV etc....
Somehow I spent too much time in the gym - checked in at 19:30 and out 21:20 - and i haven't even taken shower... Was on the StairMaster for 35 min so basically I have spent over 1h to do sets... Really have to focus & get things done quickly.
Another bad thing was it was so late so we have decided to eat in the club. I have ordered grilled sardine,, my husband ordered chicken.Thinking not enough veg. so ordered 1 salad as well between 2 of us - side veg. of my fish was covered with oil & salt, Chicken came with mashed potato. And really not easy to leave food behind as I am a pig... Ended up finishing all, really full & feeling guilty ! Well, did not have after-workout-snack (yogurt) and of course no night snack after dinner, still I know it was much more than I should / could have....

Day 76 - 15th May (Sun)
Feeling so tired - may be because of 2 sets of skipping that I did yesterday. Could not get out of the bed before noon... Such a waste... So late breakfast, late lunch, late dinner - half day & no exercise but still full meal... not good!
Did 21 min. of skipping in the end as I know it would be really tough to catch up tomorrow....
My weight has not changed at all - well, I could back into some of "more recent" clothes but still not the ones from 5-6 years ago... Long way to go but I put this weight over 6 years, it won't go in 2.5 month. I have to accept that...

Day 72 - 11th May (Wed)
Bit hungry in the morning so had milk on the way to the office. It is 7:45 am and already tarted eating my today's carb - brown rice cakes. It is dry so it has 70 kcal per 20g piece - that is 210 kcal! Regular 60g of cooked brown rice should not have that much. May be I should not eat all... that is what I thought but at 9:30, I have finished all... quite full.
Omelet with Okra - I really love okra. Hope it hasn't too much calorie. (10:00)
Snack 1 - Grapes & strawberry (avoiding mango these days as it has higher calorie) (11:00)
Lunch - Egg white as my protein as we did not have enough cooked one and could not be bothered to cook last night... chopped veg (asparagus, mushroom, tomatoes, bell pepper) sauce with pasta. (14:00)
Somehow feeling hungry all day today...
Snack 2 - 190ml cup of yogurt & could not just have 130ml... will reduce milk from my night snack.

Day 71 - 10th May (Tue)
Been very lazy - no blog for a week... Was going to update yesterday but somehow I could put title but could not post anything...
Breakfast - asparagus / mushroom omelet, pita bread, yogurt
Snack - grapes, strawberry, egg white
Lunch - pasta & meat sauce
snack 2 - Yogurt
After work out - yogurt
Dinner - bit cheating but we have moved to new menu from dinner. Cod fillet & green beans, okra, mushroom
Night snack - yogurt (could not eat fruits..)
I could not finish lunch carb yesterday but no problem today. 80g of cooked pasta and 80g of dry rye crispbread is prob different in terms of actual carb weight....
Pistol squats - think my knees are complaining after 20 min skipping yesterday. Did regular squat instead.
Davinci - Failure ... I am not good at this "Failure" thing. As i think after 5 times "Ah, I cannot do any more"... Well, total 110 times and that is it.

Day 70 - 9th May (Mon)
I think my stomach is getting smaller.. I cannot eat all the food that I am supposed to eat. I was very full after having veg and salmon for lunch so skipped carb. (was getting bit hungry after 6 pm so had some of the biscuit on the way home) Did not have anything as evening snack either..
Day 69 - 8th May (Sun)
It was very nice day in Hong Kong but stayed at home.
Skipping in the heat is so difficult - I had to stop after doing 7 min. & jumped in the pool... Did 10 min more in the afternoon when it got bit cooler.

Day 64 - 3rd May (Tue)
New food menu... I got my dinner back but I am still not reached my goal - to be back where I was 6 years ago... My "fat days" jeans is loose but I still cannot be back in my "slim days" dress collection... As my husband is still on Egg White dinner, may be I only have egg white as my dinner protein. Also, I have to work out harder...
Breakfast - Yogurt (mixing sweet non-fat yogurt with low fat plain one) bread (1 slice of sour dough and 2 slices of brown bread) Don't really feel like eating anything else now... will have egg and veg later when my husband gets up. (08:15) Scrambled egg & eggplant + zucchini around 10 am
Snack - grapes & strawberry + egg white
Lunch - meat sauce with brown rice - minced beef has been cooked separately so that I can weigh & discard any fat. chopped mushroom, onion, parsley, basil all fried then add tin tomatoes. Brown rice is so dry so add in the sauce.
Snack 2 - yogurt before going to gym.
Workout - As I skipped the sets on Sunday, did some in the morning then finished with today's sets in the gym. StairMaster for 30 min. instead of skipping.
New menu - I get to have lots of milk & yogurt AND got my protein back for dinner! My husband can have egg white only so may be I will have egg white as my protein for the dinner as well. (When I eat with him only!)

Day 63 - 2nd May (Mon)
Working today but very quiet as May Day everywhere and in between holidays in Japan...
Didn't have yogurt in the fridge - so having coffee with milk - more milk than coffee so Latte...
Snack - Kiwi & grapes + egg white
Lunch - went out as my husband is taking a week off. Not easy to follow PCP diet when you eat out... Choose Thai restaurant and had papaya salad - no meat, no carb but I am sure lots of sugar in it...
Snack 2 - Iced Latte
Dinner - Apple. Really did not feel like having yogurt or milk - really wanted to have carb (as I skipped at lunch time, I believe.. ) Very bad but had 70g of bread.
\Got very lazy and did not do sets... Still thought I really have to do cardio. Skipping 16 min was surprisingly easy - I think I am used to it and 2h hike in the sun made me strong!
Holiday for 3 days so I can do 2 sets tomorrow...

Day 62 - 1st May (Sun)
Feeling very tired after the hiking yesterday...
We planned to go to Lamma island and go to seafood restaurant then hike to the other side of the island to take ferry (well, it is small island so 1.5h walk max)
Had small(ish) breakfast, no snack then lunch ...
Lunch- Well, all seafood but surely using salt & oil.
no snacks today as we had larger lunch.
Dinner - usual apple & yogurt but no egg (think we had enough protein at lunch)
Will do sets tomorrow....

Day 61 - 30th April (Sat)
Plan for the day - Breakfast at Inter-continental hotel as it has good view, Hiking so that we can do cardio exercise and can show view from the hill, Dinner - got to take guest to at least 1 Chinese restaurant...
Good breakfast - hard to stay away from beautiful looking pastries, Golden brown hash browns... World is full of temptation. I had 2 very small piece of brown bread, had 2 eggs as they had Japanese breakfast section - could not choose 1 from "Chawan-mushi" or "Onsen Tamago" so I had both (I am allowed to have only 1 egg for breakfast) so I skipped yogurt. No juice, just coffee for me...
I really think skinny people naturally choose healthy food. Brother was having English muffin - WHY ? They had Almond croissants, Donuts, American chocolate muffins, Pain au chocolat and and and - Lots of great stuff! but still he chose English muffin...
Hiking for 2 hours - was not sunny day but pretty hard!
then gym to do the sets - leaving brother in the bar ...
No snack as we are having large dinner...

Breakfast - Yogurt before start working, Omelet and bread at 10:00
Just read Patrick's e-mail - I am spending too much time in between sets. And really taking longer rest. Plank is the only 1 thing I can do 60 sec then 15 sec rest then the next. Other exercise, it is really difficult to do in 1 go... I have to push myself harder...
Snack 2 - egg white, grapes, strawberry (13:00)

Day 57 - 26th April (Tue)
Sleepy, Tired & Hungry...
Breakfast - Yogurt, Omelet, half-pita bread... It is 10:30 and I have just finished breakfast but already hungry.
Snack 1 - Grapes & Strawberry (11:00) Egg white ( 12:00)
Lunch - Grilled salmon with dill, pasta, boiled green beans, Grilled courgette, Grilled baby red onion - Pretty good. Herbs & spices can really help if you think your food is boring. (14:30)
Snack 2 - Kiwi, grapes (16:30) - I think I need to get other fruits... something new
Dinner - Milk before gym, rest after...
Picked up lots of fish & meat so we will have nice lunch tomorrow...
2/3 of the sets and then 30 min StairMaster - rest of the sets at home as running out of time ... Pistol squat is getting easy - I could not do even once on the 1st day...
Found resistance band in the gym - it is so much stronger than the one that I have at home. I could not do even 1 Davinci - If this is the one I was supposed be using, basically I haven't done any exercise in thees 57 days... Is that why some guys who finished 90 days PCP got amazing body but I am no where near that ??

Day 55 - 24th April (Sun)
Beautiful day!
Breakfast - mixed non-fat one with my plain low-fat one.. less sweet and very nice. Grilled asparagus, tomatoes, scramble egg on top of toasted Ciabatta
Snack 1 - Papaya & Grapes
Wanted to go for hiking but had to wait for food delivery.. As usual they have left wrong box, so had to call and get the right box... Kind of expected but mistake again - 100% of the chance we do not get what we want when we order stuff from Park'n shop- I ordered low-fat yogurt but they have sent me 0% fat. They always send "whatever" and hoping to get away with it. If I order onion, always 1 of it is rotten.
Snack 2 - Grapes
Lunch - Moon fish (never heard of but from NZ) and White asparagus
went out around 2 pm, 2h hiking...
Dinner - usual apple, egg white, yogurt

Day 54 - 23rd April (Sat)
Breakfast - Yogurt to start... Thought I could make "zosui" - Brown rice, lettuce, egg plant, egg in a pot with water .. was OK.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zosui
Snack - kiwi & grapes
Lunch - leftover minced duck from last night - I am sure there is some oil in it but we did not have any other protein.. Add brown rice and asparagus then wrapped with lettuce. Yum - but bit oily...
went to gym as we are getting glued to the sofa.
1h on the StairMaster as I did not do any exercise yesterday..
Snack after gym - grapes
went to shopping for food... I just cannot believe how expensive fish is - just a slice of salmon costs over HKD 100 (1000 yen) - should be 300 yen in Japan.
Dinner - Apple (got Japanese one yeah!) egg white, yogurt. Plain low-fat..

Snack 1 - egg white, strawberry, grapes (13:30)

Snack 2 - grapes
Dinner - went out with friend from Tokyo for Chinese dinner .. Lots of naughty stuff...
No exercise today..
Snack 1 - egg white, strawberry, grapes (13:30)

Day 49 - 18th April (Mon)
New day, New week.
We have used up the "Indulgence" on Sat. so I have nothing to look forward except me getting in better shape. How was my "Indulgence" ? - well, first and second glasses of Champagne was absolutely nice. 3rd & 4th - could have been just water or half soda/ half wine... Food - Bit surprised that I could not eat much. As Patrick says, most of people, especially the ones who is "over-weight" = me, eating more than what we need.
Breakfast - Yogurt, very thinly sliced sour dough bread, salad(mixed lettuce, cress), left-over egg mayo as we did not have any egg left...
Snack 1 - bit more of the egg thing, grapes, melon
Lunch - left-over salmon mayo as we did not have any other protein... mixed salad, tomatoes, onion, whole wheat bread
Snack 2 - Kiwi, Grapes
Dinner - Had yogurt before gym, apple egg white when I got home.
Snack 3 - microwaved chopped okra
60 secs of plank.. HARD! Pistol squat - seems I have been bending wrong leg ... much better now.

Day 47 - 16th April (Sat)
Busy day today - one of our best friend is moving back to London, so we have invited them for dinner. i.e. We will have proper food. Well, I know this is against PCP but we really wanted to have good night with them... To make up the difference, I have skipped lunch and second snack, which might not be ideal but I knew I was going to have large dinner so ...
more than 10 guys were working to finish our house inside / outside so I have done the daily workout in the car park. It was quite hot so I was really really struggling to do 16 min. skipping.
Dinner went all good except usual "too much food" problem - I have prepared 6 kinds of bite-size starter, very small pieces of pita bread (like 2cm x 2cm) with Hummus - one with chili powder on top, the other one pepper on, Chicken Mayo on celery stick, Salmon Mayo on Romaine Lettuce, Egg Mayo in cucumber cup, Chorizo with Feta cheese stuffed green olive, Prosciutto wrapped melon. Not the healthiest but not bacon wrapped sausage... 2nd course is burger, main was Porterhouse steak, Pork chop. Drinks - Champagne, White wine, Red wine.. Dessert - Cheesecake from Mandarin Oriental (they do really good one. No biscuit bottom, just creamy cheese..) I had 2-3 pieces of the snack, 1 burger (no cheese), 2 bites of the pork chop, 2 bites of the cheese cake. Drinks - 3 glasses of Champagne, 2 glasses of White wine...
I was completely full & drunk...

Day 33
I was looking for Sat. breakfast - was thinking what to eat from yesterday..
chopped okura, myoga that my mum got for me from Japan (had no idea what is called in English but http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myoga says myoga ginger) also chopped, hot white rice, katsuo-bushi (dried bonito flake) and raw egg - well it has to be fresh Japanese egg, which my mum also got for me but it is 2 weeks old so I tried to make Onsen Tamago (slightly cooked egg) , and Tororo Konbu (dried finely shredded seaweed) Put all in a bowl and mix! It was great. I like to say please try but I know most of Gaijin does not like the texture...
It was very nice day in Hong Kong so we have decided to do hiking instead of skipping today. There is small trail takes up to monastery and further up hill, which is not easy at all as all up hill. I gave up in the middle but walked 45 min. up hill so my exercise is done!
Had fruits snack before hiking but feeling very hungry after walk. I had Japanese white rice (my weekend treat) and I have put broccoli, cauliflower, long green beans and snap pea, all pre-boiled, on a plate and put 1 egg in the middle and microwaved for 1 min. - Very nice! (However, if I am having egg instead of my protein, should not have egg yolk... it was small egg... )
Strawberry & Kiwi for 2nd snack, Dinner is usual apple, banana, yogurt. I need to think some interesting way to eat apple and banana.
Usual sets after "dinner" - fell asleep so I missed night snack again...

Day 32
April!
Breakfast - Getting bored of same thing so asked Grace (our helper) to make Avocado Salsa. Was OK to me but my husband is not really happy. Basically needs salt... had it with plain omelet and Pita bread. Naughty yogurt today - lots of strawberry jam in it and i think this one is full fat!
Snack - Whoops already lunch time! Forgot to eat...
Lunch - Again naughty one as my colleague was buying lunch for everyone. Boys were having HUGE burger. Tempted but I have ordered "Rock Salted Wagyu Beef Skewers" - will remove salt...
Great meat ... very small amount but it was perfect. I would not need to have more than what I had. I think it was about 100g Salad already had dressing on it, which was annoying. Missing carb but I do not think I need to eat now..
well 5 min later I felt still bit hungry - having dragon fruits and blueberry now...

Day 27
I was not feeling well all day - very bad runny nose. Fell asleep around 4pm and got up 9pm ... It was raining and really did not feel like doing any exercise. I do not fall into bad habit of "skipping skips" but really could not push myself - WEAK !
Day 26
My husband was complaining about PCP life - especially food - so much last night. He really wanted to have Steak, wine and sweets. I actually do not have any problem with food, surprisingly... Well, I guess I am still having low-fat but sweet yogurt in the morning so I do not have particular craving for sweets. I know I should just have pain one but much better having a cookie.
It is our 6th wedding anniversary and we are allowed to have "indulgence" - and my husband is going mad - so we have decided to go to steakhouse for dinner.
I did not do any exercise on Friday night as my coughing & sneezing gone worse, so I did exercise of Day 25 in the morning and Day 26 before we go out.
Dinner -
1 glass of white wine - Did not really enjoy it. Why did I like it so much before??
Fresh mini-baguette with Truffle butter - FANTASTIC!
1 bottle of red wine between 2 of us - I think I had a glass. That was enough.
Rib-eye "cap" steak - Extremely expensive Rib-Eye - First piece was great, second was good, third was good but I think I had enough.
Asparagus - May be the best one. I should buy better quality one to have it at home as well.
Mushroom - very nice with butter....
Potato Gratin - Very nice and I can have some more!
"Cookie Monster" Alaska - It was giant monster. Ice cream and cookie covered in melange
Yes, we have had way over 200-400 kcal indulgence allowance + usual meal.
Do I want to have same meal tomorrow? No. Was it great meal? Yes, but I didn't need to eat that much and feeling very bad braking rule.
I hope my husband thought the same and his craving has gone now....

Day 22
Breakfast - Finally found low-fat plain yogurt! Almost half calorie of sweetened ones! Pita bread with salad & boiled egg
Lunch - Prawns with veg. - helper forgot to pack brown rice so had bagel at coffee shop. I think it was too much...
Dinner - Last night with family so taking them to nice restaurant & have Peking Duck... I do not think I can skip it...
Well, so dinner was 1 whole duck for 3 of us - I had may be 6 slices. Very good but really thought it was oily.. I guess because I haven't had much oil for sometime... Stair fried veg with garlic would have been my choice but today I ordered "steamed" ones... No drinking, either... So proud of myself.

Day 20
First time ever since I have started PCP - no exercise... Took my family to Ocean Park & came home late. Walked around few hours so I guess I did equivalent of 900 skips...
Also had 2 McChicken nuggets for lunch as I could not find any PCP friendly food in the park..

Day 18
Feeling very tired again!
I think it is because I did not have any protein or fruits snack last night... Quite important to eat right!
Breakfast - Yogurt, Brown Pita bread with "Japanese " cucumber & tomato - I have asked my mother to bring some fresh veg. and fruits - taste soooooo different & million times better than Chinese vegetable!

Day 17
My joint between shoulder and arm hurts...
Our helper got new yogurt - is says low fat but looks like some sugar in. A lot high in calorie... that is the thing about leaving shopping to someone else...
Breakfast - Veg stick (celery, carrot) boiled asparagus omelet toast yogurt
Snack - Grape Strawberry Blueberry
Lunch - Pasta Salad (chicken with pepper & chili, lettuce, tomatoes, brown pasta) Strange but I actually enjoyed having "no salt, no oil, no sauce" pasta... I guess I am hungry so just happy to eat what I can eat... I can really taste each ingredients - before I was just tasting dressing or sauce...
Dinner - grilled veggie salad at Starbucks ... Had to go to airport to pick my family up. Didn't use sauce or dressing in the container but still well salted. I know it is not the best but much better than chicken mushroom pie...
Started raining but still did 850 skips...

Day 14 - Feeling tired..
Went to be early on Sunday night but still feeling tired...
Our helper screwed my food plan so very angry in the morning - now I think it is not that big deal but may be I was pretty cranky as not having enough sugar?
Breakfast - Lovely yogurt, no-olive oil-ratatouille-omelet... Supposed to be plain omelet ratatouille on the side..
Lunch - Smoked salmon sandwich but no salad
Dinner - Had to go to IKEA to sort out helper's kitchen and got really hungry around 8:30 - had to eat infamous hot dog!
800 skip was not too bad, so happy that I do not need to do any other exercise today!

Day 12 - I have been lazy....
I have been very lazy, haven't dane day 9-11 Blog!
Saturday today, got up pretty early as Saturday. 8 or so. I would have thought about Pain au Chocolat and coffee or Ramen noodle if I had few glasses or bottles of wine the night before. But guess what, I really wanted to have yogurt this morning.
Cleaned fridge - bye bye to the big bottle of soy sauce, salt, cheese & etc... Gave all to our helper & told her to move all to her fridge in her kitchen. She asked me "you do not need salt?". Now I know why my breakfast omelet was very good.... SALT! I have told her not to put salt but she was using salt... Anyways, good that I found out early enough.
Breakfast - made by myself but the amount of egg seems so much smaller than last 4 days.... I really think she was using 2 eggs...
Lunch - had to go for shopping so went to SUBWAY - well, no more Spicy Italian (with salami) Grilled chicken sandwich with brown bread, no oil, no sauce, no salt. Sounds quite boring but not so bad. By the way, can you believe there is more SUBWAY than McDonald's in the world?? I really cannot believe it. Definitely not in Hong Kong where there is McDonald's everywhere. Let me think how many of them within walking distance from my office... 4! Not sure about in Tokyo now but in Hong Kong, they can deliver food 24h, just by 1 phone call. There must be some countries which has more SUBWAY than McDonald's, otherwise it does not make sense. Must be India.

Day 8
PCP food starts today!
I really do not have time to have breakfast at home - so had to pack everything. Seems quite a lot of food for breakfast.
Breakfast : I have prepared - Brown bread roll sandwich filled with scrambled egg, yogurt, broccoli. Scrambled egg is extremely boring... No salt, no butter, no full-fat cream! I really did not feel like eating all at once so I had yogurt before market opens at 8am. Had the rest around 10:30, as well as the first snack.
Lunch : I choose smoked salmon as my protein. Salmon is really oily fish so I do not think it is the best but I really could not think anything else yesterday... So, smoked salmon sandwich and salad (just leaves...) I miss blue cheese dressing but just had salad with balsamic vinegar.
Snack : Mango
Dinner : Still thinking what to have... I have just finished exercise in gym and I guess I am eating dinner here.. Will see what they have...
Had salad With grilled salmon and chicken, tandori salmon with naan. Everything taste so good! Well, that means food was with lots of salt and oil. Really difficult to keep rule and eat out...

Day 7
Breakfast : Brown toast with butter, Mango yogurt, coffee
Lunch : Thai red curry with pork - no rice
Dinner : Pizza! Just 1 piece as I cannot have it for 3 month! Some fruits while I was weighing the fruits for tomorrow.
Got mail from Patrick about food & exercise for Week 2 - WOW! I am not sure if I can thick much! Food - actually had no idea until I came home and weigh all the food. 150g of strawberry was really not much, 80g of toast bread seems plenty. I do not like drinking milk so will swap with yogurt. Could not find low-fat plain yogurt so having sweet one for tomorrow..
500 skipping - not easy but I could manage...

Day 6
Sunday... But no Champagne brunch for 3 month!
Exercise of the day 5 in the morning to catch up - was really late last night so I have skipped first time since I have started PCP.
Breakfast : brown toast, salad, banana / strawberry / vanilla ice-cream smoothies
Went out to pick up PC from repair center - I can see burger king's sign! Humm, Sunday special? Called my husband but he didn't think I was serious, which was good. Well, just go home & have salad again, may be...
Snack : Broccoli & Cauliflower mixed with tuna/mayo
Dinner : We could not go out as our IT boys were fixing computer .. Cooked Japanese rice & made Tuna-roll. Amazed how much we felt quite full - well, we did eat a lot but really different from "lots of salad"
Day 6 Exercise - lunge is still hard. Found another cheat - instead of doing left right left right, I did 8 left leg in 1 go - Is that OK? (was much easier so probably not OK...)

Day 5
As I had friends from Tokyo this weekend (excuse, excuse...) so could not do any exercise.
Lunch : Dim sum at Li Garden (IFC) dumplings, fried rice .. Hong Kong is amazing place - how could this restaurant gets Michelin 1 star???
Dinner : Hutong - definitely could have had more...
Drink : Living room at W - jelly WOW was fantastic. Lots of sugar and alcohol.. Well, 2nd drink was vodka and soda as I am a good girl ;-)
Found nice dress in CLUB MONACO, tried size 8. Did not fit at all.... Meanwhile my friend bought dress size 00, which is smaller than 0.. That means I am at least 6 size larger than her. Is that possible? What happened to me?! Well, only thing that I can say is many bottles of Champagne and wine, lots of great food really helped me grow my body.
W hotel has pool on 73rd floor of the building -Soooo nice! In 3 month time, I will have better body so I can come back here!

Day 2
Meals of the day
Breakfast : Brown Toast x1 (it is "half" of what I usually have) and a cup of Mango Yogurt
Lunch : Salad - penne with pesto sauce / tomato & onion / lettuce & mushroom - sounds healthy but I bet lots of oil & sugar on it as all taste so good! Had all the pasta but left half of other 2 for dinner..
Dinner : leftover lunch and leftover boiled veg from last night...
Bought push-up bars on the way home.
Lunge - really killed me! Not sure if I can walk tomorrow...
Push-up - much easier with this new gadget! But still cannot do properly so still have to put my knees on the floor. I know it is cheating...
Leg-up - again, not easy at all...
Jumprope - got the one with counter but annoyingly it does not work! Have to go back to the shop tomorrow. 250 times was not easy but amazingly felt a lot easier than yesterday. (I was about to die yesterday.) Well, tomorrow will be easier - NOT! Have to do 300 times! Really looking forward to it!!!

Day 1
Not good at "eating half"...
Breakfast : Carrot juice / Fruits Box
Lunch : Macaroni & Cheese looked really nice...but today is the Day1! Instead I bought Mixed Vegetable, I do not think it was steamed but was not so oily..
Dinner : Miso soup & boiled cauliflower / broccoli / asparagus... had Nori as snack... so good, cannot believe is has no calorie
Skipping rope really killed me - I was 12 years old last time I did it... I can really feel my weight.
