Day 73 Swim team day

My daughter join the school swim team, that meant that today (Sat.) instead of sleeping late, we all woke up early to drive to school for practice. we did not take it into account that it will be such a long think, from 8-14. we left without breakfast, so I needed to improvise, bough a Pear for breakfast (instead of the break snack) and finally hunger set it and I gave in for a 1 slice (small) of peperoni Pizza.  We have additional 2 weekend like these, I will better prepare next time.

Got back home and scooped my regular PCP controlled lunch. 3 Tortilla, grilled chicken, and steam vegi (with a bit a yogurt and Balsamic to make it yummi).

I soooooo did not have the strength to do the workout, but when the time was right, about 20:00 usually,  I found myself downstairs jumping rope, and doing the workout, Bicycle were the biggest pain, more I the legs than the abs, I must do something wrong.

I keep enjoying the jump rope, I went up to 25 minutes each day and my plan is to reach 30 minutes, I do not know how Patric will build it up for us in the next 3 weeks, but this is my target and also my target to keep post PCP.

I have been feeling a craving for sweet these past 2-3 days. before PCP whenever I eat carbs, mainly pasta, I had a real carving for sweet, this is just the same feeling. I am trying to fight it with coffee and tea, hope it will go away soon.

In Japan you renew car license 1 every two years, my car is due this month, well after the service checked it out, they called us up saying that the cost will be 6K for a car worth maybe 2K....so it is time to replace my 15 year old car, finding a used car in japan with all the notice being in Japanese will be a challenge. that is the last thing i needed to be on my head just now these days....eeeerrrrrr

  1. Do you jump 25 minutes non stop ???

    I had to say good by to my car after driving 16 years this January. Luckily eco-car tax reduce was available that time so I bought a new car.
    Anyway, are you looking for a car in Tokyo? My colleague's father deals with second hand car and some teachers at YIS bought cars from him. If you're interested let me know.

  2. i feel bicycles in my legs too. i'm not sure if i'm angled incorrectly against the chair or maybe we're supposed to feel it some in our legs since it's all connected?

  3. i have started to feel bicycle in the muscle that connects hips to front of thighs (i know, i know, wowing you all with my anatomical knowledge). im not sure if that's strictly an "ab" but it frickin burns and is pretty rock solid now! took me a while to feel it there though.


    good luck with the car!
