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)

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)

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 ??

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.

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...

Breakfast - Egg en cocotte - same as yesterday, very easy, milk with instant coffee - again easy to make and can have it on the way to the office, bread
Snack - Watermelon
Lunch - Smoked & grilled salmon pasta salad (cucumber onion tomatoes)
Snack 2 - watermelon & kiwi
Dinner - apple banana yogurt boiled egg (white only)
Snack 3 - broccoli snap pea
Skipping 1400 times was not so bad...

Day 34
Sunday...
Had Ito-Konnyaku (looks like brown pasta http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konjac)- as it has no calorie, I had lots of it... Think it was not good idea. It really filled me and I did not feel like having lunch till 4pm!

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...
