This was my last meal. A simple bowl of brown and mixed grain rice with vinegar, ikura, Hokkaido scallop, and salmon flakes. The ikura is homemade by my mom and has some salt, as does the salmon, but aside from this last meal I have pretty much managed to eliminate added salt in my diet. Since I've already been preparing every single meal at home in week one, controlling my salt and sugar intake that way, I did not want to deviate from that plan and go out and have an indulgent "last meal." I love wine, but have been off it all week so left that alone. Now the real challenge begins.
The five hundred jump-rope was tougher than I thought. The first 250 went by fine, but after that, my arms wouldn't go around at the pace I wanted them to and the last half I was lucky to get ten in a row. Oh well, a lot on my mind tonight and a lot more to do from tomorrow. My sister from Canada is coming to visit for one day on Saturday so am going to have to figure some way of taking her out for a good meal while I eat my own thing.
Sounds like your jumprope may be too long. It should just be clearing your head by a few inches.
ReplyDeleteHi George, I'm a former PCPer, and I've been following your blog. I hope you don't mind if I comment from time to time.
ReplyDeleteGood job on your restraint in your last meal, but on the PCP you will have chances to enjoy old foods again from time to time, and make sure you do your best to enjoy them during these times in the quantity prescribed. It is a critical part of the food education you will receive.
Thanks, Patrick. I tried tying the ends of my rope a few inches shorter on each end. I still think I haven't found the best rope for me. Had stretches of bad rhythm still, but managed to get 92 in a row today as well, so was a bit better.
