Indulgence
Yes we had a little vodka indulgence and it hurt the next day. My head was twice a sore as usual because the vodka went straight to my head and I fell over and hit my head on the coffee table. I proud to say I'm not the drinker that I used to be Ouch.

Kung Fu panda or maybe monkey
So started the day off in fear when I saw Kung Fu Sit-ups on the agenda...what on earth were we in for?
Skipped, leaped, lunged etc through my workout and then to the last set of Kung Fu sit-ups I arrived. Climbed up onto the pull up bar and commenced what I suspect looked more like a drunk monkey trying to swing it's legs up into a tree. ha ha ha it was hilarious, thankfully the regulars in the gym had finished and left me alone (I was hoping they would...phew).
I re-read Patrick's tips about not using the swing to get momentum and it worked, although not perfect, I imagined I looked like a gymnast in training (very basic training) and not the monkey I started out to be :)
Kung Fu Sit-ups - TICK. Feel good today.

Veggie inspiration
If anyone has any good ideas on how to make veggies more exciting please do share. I love them but I'm going to have to put in a little effort to get some variety into the evening snack. Let me know if you have any veggie favorites.
By the way well done to everyone, I think we are all staying on track pretty well, and everyone is looking great, those that I can see anyway, keep it up guys :)

Day 40 - Almost Hump Day
It feels like a bit of a milestone reaching day 40 although the real milestone, 45 - half way, is just around the corner. Patrick was right, I can see why this is the time where some PCP'ers would fall off the wagon, body is tried, not in love with skipping anymore, but feeling positive and pushing through. Loving my sleep Zzzzzzz.
I'm focussed on the fact that 15 mins of skipping a day is much better use of my time than double the amount for a swim or run.
Made a yummy (PCP compliant apart from the olives I guess) Chicken Cacciatore last night, with zucchini and capsicum (forgot the mushrooms) and lots of fresh herbs. Clive and I weighed all the ingredients for two lunches each before cooking. I just ate mine for lunch with broccoli and pasta, was delicious... so full, relaxed and sleepy now Zzzzzzz.

Day 39 - Loving the journey
I've got to agree with the guys, my shoulders have been attacked the last few days, which has inevitably made my skipping a little tougher. Have been doing the 8 min abs for the last few days too, I love them, love a good ab burn. Tired today, went to James Blunt last night and didn't get to bed until late (which is anything after 10pm these days as we are up at 6am).
Clive and I had a wicked Saturday night, we feasted on our egg flip shakes and apples while cooking home made veggie burgers (non stick pan) and watching a movie almost falling asleep, we are out of control.
Decided it's too hard to do dinners with friends so have opted for popping over for a cuppa (no bickies) HA it's a hilarious change but everyone is understanding and curious. They all comment on how good Clive looks (and he does), no one comments that I look different too, obviously they are being kind or I hid it well before, or they just don't think I look any different. He does look amazing. I'll show them all this Christmas when I break out that bikini back in Aus. A few kgs to go before I'm finished but loving the journey.
