Kids and wife left this afternoon for a long onsen weekend with the in-laws. Sad to see them go but happy won't be tempted by the non-stop dinner courses and my father in-law's sake.
Weight seems to have stabilized around the 73-kg mark. Diet at least this morning and lunch went well with broccoli, peppers and onions becoming my staple vegetables and plums, cherries, bannanas and kiwi the "go to" fruits. Thought of buying some blueberries today in the supermarket but when I saw they wanted like 600-yen (~$8) for a small pack, gave it a pass. Have been also getting into the mango recently - mixing either that or kiwi in with my diet yogurt. I used to eat at least a bowel of cereal every day...cutting out that sugar now feels good.
I had a nice stretch at lunch for my yoga class. Made it to the gym by 4:00 but was really hungry and forget to bring my fruit from home. Weak moment - bought some chocolate covered biscuits from the Lawson convenience store and had about four from the pack before hitting thegym. Not a great display of will-power but felt very drained and knew i wouldn't make it through the workout without a little sugar pick-up. I'll need to plan the afternoon fruit sessions better from here.
Highlight of the gym was the pull-up session. I remember doing loads of these when I was a kid but struggled today to complete my 3x5 pull-up sets. I finished off with two sets of 8 of the inlined pulls which amounted to a nice stretch in the end. Must have burned off some calories because still quite peckish after my PCP dinner and feel like scrounging around for more to munch on...heading to the watermelon now. Look forward to a long jump rope session tomorrow. -rp
can't do one real pull up!
ReplyDeleteRob if you are anywhere near Hiroo the little veggie/fruit shop in the side street between National Azabu and the main road near the post office sells small packets of blueberries for ¥298. Gives a little bit of difference and much cheaper than elsewhere. I treated myself yesterday.
