Day started off well enough - asparagus and onions with eggs for breakfast (I'll admit - I'm still using a teensy bit of ketchup). Yogurt, granola, and fruit when I get to work. Home made chili for lunch with some bread. Fruit snack and water in the afternoon (I also had a coke zero.... I know I need to stop with those chemicals, but damn they taste so good. I'll get there).
Then it went a bit downhill. Had an event with pizza and I decided not to have any, but changed my mind (I think my willpower lasted for about 3 minutes... need to get stronger) and got not one but two pieces (umm.. they were small?). In retrospect, they weren't even that good. What a waste!
Anyway... after the pizza - I also grabbed a cookie on the way out. They were taunting me all day.... I have to admit the cookie tasted damn good.
Got home, went for a run, and went to "Dragon Circuit" (I think circuit training for dragon boat paddlers) for an hour (running, lifting... high intensity stuff with only a little rest in between. I didn't do PCP today because I heard it was super intense, but I'm going to do both next week... figure if I do PCP in the morning, I can do the circuit after work. Patrick / anyone - thoughts on that? I want to be careful not to overdo it (I've been injured before and it's not fun). I want to make sure that I'm following the exercise component of PCP, but it's also really fun to change it up and workout with people.
People in Hong Kong, maybe we can occasionally get together in one of the parks (we met today at the park along Bowen road - it was the perfect space), and do the PCP workouts as a group? Always more fun to do it with people than by yourself.
Following the class, a few of the people said they were going out to dinner. Although I wasn't particularly hungry, I decided to go (always good to get to know people). Went with a miso soup and some pieces of beef. Also tried a piece of salmon and tuna (both raw). I actually don't eat fish / seafood - so this is big for me... I'd love to eat fish because I know it's a healthy option - so was pleasantly surprised when they didn't taste too bad at all. Finished off with frozen yogurt and mango.
Needless to say, things fell apart in the later part of the day - but it did (strangely) help with motivation (at least earlier on), to know that I would have to admit all the mistakes that I made throughout the day.
OK - time to get ready for bed. Up early tomorrow for a 7 mile run.
