Conscious that I haven't blogged for a few days, although I managed to get my "homework" in from Ibiza so I guess I can't really use that as an excuse.
Nath and I are now firmly back on track post-Ibiza. We did go off piste while we were away. The trip was booked before PCP and we took the view at the time that it was better to attempt 87 days of PCP rather than none simply because we wanted to have fun for 3 days in Ibiza. I'm pleased to say that some of the better routines we've gotten into over the course of the first 50 days had significantly greater impact that I would have thought (which gives me lots of hope for maintaining things post PCP!!) Drinking was the obvious one. We shared a bottle of wine on our first night, something I could have handled with no problem multiple times before, and had THE WORST night's sleep I can remember. So the next three nights, I had one glass with dinner and water the rest of the time. We shared some meals, especially if we were trying to up the veg intake, share starter and have own main, that sort of thing, and it worked well. Neither of us felt that the eating got away from us, which was a real plus point. On the down side, sleep was in short supply, as we knew it would be. There were just TOO MANY cool places to be and NOT ENOUGH hours to do it all in. The best night was Cream on Thursday - after 5 years of going to Ibiza, it was the most fun I've had in one night - home at 6am. Friday was MTV Ibiza at Amnesia, also unmissable, also home at 6am. I'm ashamed to say we missed two workouts over the course of our little expedition (Patrick, I FEEL TERRIBLE ABOUT THAT!) but they are the only two I've missed since the start and, unless I get really sick, I won't be missing any more!
So.... hands up to being naughty, but it's onwards on upwards. I'm looking forward with a lot of positivity about how PCP is shaping my routines and relationship towards food/drink. I know now that it's going to be easier to manage things post PCP than I might have thought a few weeks ago. We both came back from Ibiza looking forward to another 45-odd days of saintliness....
...BUT before that, a few pics of said naughtiness attached.
Oh well done guys, you look amazing, must have been a blast!
