day 42

I write and post this note from the plane… the plane where I refuse the cocktails, salted nuts, pasta dinner and ice cream sundae and it’s nothing to me.  Woohoo!  I also carry along a small steamer trunk of fruits, vegetables and hard boiled eggs… which makes my seatmate stare over at what I eat and back at what he is eating.  Mwahahaha.  I caught an earlier flight than usual so I get in at a decent hour to fit in the workout.  Let’s hope this momentum carries me through this week and a boondoggle in LA next weekend!  That is all.  Carry on…

Day 38

ugh… lost radio contact for a few days... been traveling a great deal and a life of planes and hotels makes pcp TOUGH.  for the past week been living by the pcp principles but have found it frustrating to have limited choices on food.  i’m still making better choices but egg whites are not easy to come by.  i have been diligent in the workout department and have committed to making pcp work while on the road.  must. be. persistent.

I knew this would be the case… the diet is so much easier to follow at home than on the road… but I am maximizing my time on the weekends and really getting the hang of it… case in point – broiled sea bass and steamed veggies for dinner Mmm… good!

day 18...

plodding along this week.  the newness wears off and i sense this is the time where dedication is tried and tested.  i’ve been adhering to the diet but missed a workout this week while stuck at the office until late.  reading the other blogs help put things in perspective because it appears that no one else is perfect.  i’ve scooped up a mini bandwagon here at work and home where others have taken on some of the pcp tenets… such as no drinking or following the general  diet.  i’ve noted the motivation that this gives… and i appreciate it.

day 13

i've gotten to where i can go about 50 jumps before i smack myself in the shin but... baby steps, right.  at least it’s coordination issue and not conditioning… or is it?!?!  (i know it’s both J.)  we’re coming to the end of week 2… and i find it interesting to compare our musings to those pcp-ers in their 6^th and 10^th weeks.  i’m looking forward to learning more and seeing lessons -> become habits -> become ways of life.

foodie ideas...

egg & smoked salmon on everything bagel

day eleven... i'm getting more comfortable judging portions and choosing the right foods without the scale or cheat sheet.  the workouts have just started to rev up and i’m appreciating tapping into muscles that i usually don’t.  my body is also starting to change somewhat… and i’m liking that!  i’ve also taken to reading everyone else’e blogs which is a good source of motivation.  all in all good spirits and good enthusiasm.
