Pretty pleased with my progress this week, clothes are all feeling a bit more lose and noticing less volume in the gut department. Its beeen a month of zero booze , its been 5 yrs since ive had a break like this. Although i wouldnt consider myself to have a "proper" drinking problem i realise now it has been the quickest escape/relaxation mechanism....something i need to consider when i re-introduce "responsible" drinking in a few months time. I have a wedding to attend back in oz next weekend which will be fun, i better make sure i keep a mineral water in my hand and avoid the cold beers...mmmm beer :)
Did my workout this morning. it hurt . 1300 jumps or possibly more...i am terrible at keeping count.
The legs really copped it especially the squat jumps straight after 160 lunges. other excercises fine, sit ups getting much easier (theres muscles in there somewhere..)
Another night at home on the couch, thankfully some rugby to watch so not so bad.
I am really feeling for my wife at the moment, i think this project is probably taking up alot of my atention and my lack of wanting to socialise is probably taking its toll. anyone got any ideas for non drinking activities in HK ? Hows everyones better halves dealig with your projects??
Diet wise i think im going fine, the dinners this week will be interesting a couple of peices of fruit and 2 egg whites??? who wouldve thought...
hope everyone else is doing well and keep it up !!
difficult isnt it? not to go out - cos so many things in HK involves drinking! altho i am happy stayin in most nights, and until this week had a couple of dinner parties (cos its easier to control what u eat in that case), from now i am guessing i will be officially antisocial. my BF has been really helpful during the pcp, shoppin for food, stayin in with me etc but im happy for him to go out with his mates.. otherwise we have been out to play tennis in the evenings, going to the cinema (he can have popcorn!). with the girls, i go for foot massages (no reasons blokes cant go too), mani/pedis. im afraid no genius idea but i hope u find somethig to do together that involves bein teetotal!
ReplyDeleteYes, social life is a casualty of serious training, but just imagine in two months when you're back on the scene looking great and able to say enough after one or two drinks.
