Day Forty-Six: "The New Batch"

PCP carrot from this gentleman's chin, anyone?
Gremlins 2: The New Batch was a terrible sequel. Let's hope this new batch is up to the task. Welcome to the PCP. Get your game faces on, cause it's a challenge. But the rewards are there for the taking.

Back to our PCP and today I managed to get morning jump rope in. It's still a struggle in the mornings, but it is good mentally to have it out of the way early in the day. A case where the reward is incentive to get it done early anyway.

Worked out with Brian in the evening, this time at his gym, which is actually pretty spacious for a residential building gym. Was a good workout. Am thoroughly impressed with BG's skills and tenacity, especially on leg exercises. Oh, and had my first push-up fail. Like with the other chest exercises, too, 4x15 on the bars was too much. The last set, I could only do 11 on the bars and then had to put hands down on the floor to finish regular style.

We then went over to a friend's house and played cards. People ordered pizza. I was actually a bit hungry for once. Maybe I really should have had more veggies for the AMAYW, but I prepped it the night before so I could travel with it all. People were drinking wine, but I wasn't even tempted. For those who know me, that is a HUGE change. It wasn't that I wanted it, but resisted. I didn't want it. Anyone want to raid my two wine cellars? I have some stuff in there that is too good to never drink!

Saw some friends I hadn't seen in a while and got the typical response of: "Why are you on a diet? You don't need it." I think they all slightly fear I have a problem thinking "I am fat" or something. Oh well. I wasn't inclined to explain the whole thing. Let them think what they want and at the end, I will explain it to them if they so wish.
