So having thought I'd got to grips with the jump rope, I've found the last couple of days a bit more difficult. I've been trying out different ropes to see which one i prefer and I think it hasn't been a very good idea. I need to settle on a rope so I can get used to it etc. Anyhow, tonight was a bit better so I'll persevere with this one.
I missed yesterdays jump rope session as I was feeling really rough, came down with some sort of bug. This also means i've lost my appetite a bit and haven't been following the PCP amounts, but I'm sure I'll be back on track tomorrow.
I'm finding these Flickr updates a bit of an ego grounder. Uploading photos of yourself looking far from athletic is a complete leveller. Let's hope that in 10 weeks time there's a bit of an improvement and we can look back and laugh at these photos.......otherwise I'll be in for plenty of stick!
I went out on Saturday for a friends birthday lunch, which ended up lasting all day and all night. During the lunch I was itching for a drink, but as the day moved on (and everyone else became more and more oiled) I found it easier to abstain. I am really pleased about this as it was my first properly big night out with out drinking and I thought this would be the one area I'd find really hard. Don't get me wrong, it still is difficult, but I'm finding, much to my surprise, that I don't miss it nearly as much as I thought. I'm really enjoying the clarity of mind and not to mention no longer waking up in the morning ridden with angst about what I said to people or stupid things I've done. I'm starting to realise that a good night out doesn't have to involve bucket loads of booze - "I once was lost but now am found, was blind, but now I see".....well perhaps not that evangelical, but my mindset is certainly starting to change.
Till next time my fellow PCPers
