Tapping this out in bed, tummy growling. Am very tempted to raid the fridge but I know we've only got vegetables and fruit in there so not going to bother. I'm definitely missing the protein this week and measly egg whites just don't cut it...is it really a no no to substitute a bit of beef or chicken for the evening's egg white?? Feeling decidedly grumpy now...
On the subject of egg whites - dinner time yesterday and hubby pipes up that he prefers his hard boiled eggs hot instead of ice cold from the fridge. I go " you can't microwave hard boiled eggs, they'll explode". 2 mins later, our helper puts hubby's plate in front of us and POOF, this almighty explosion sprays egg shrapnel all over us and the living room - every inch of the coffee table, carpet and ceiling is covered in desiccated egg bits. See that is what you get when you don't listen to the missus.
Quote of the evening - "now we know".
Yoghurt - am finding it impossible to find organic low fat plain yoghurt in Hong Kong. Have only seen the fat free variety and they are rubbish. Like eating sour glue paste...urgh. Anyone having better luck out there?
Ok, so I'm largely only griping about the food aspect of things. The exercise half of the equation has been pretty good now that the wrist is almost back on track.
Decided to heed Patrick's email abt skipping in the morning to maximize the fat burn so groggily pushed through the jumps first thing today. Def not a convert yet - way way too harsh to start the day I say.
But I can report that the skipping has improved tremendously. Inspired by hubby's 600 a pop feat in Seoul this week, I managed to crank out 720 at a go yesterday, so did 300, 400 and 720 to complete yesterday's set...felt pretty pleased with myself after that, if I may say so!
Didn't quite manage 700 at a go today but 550 is not too shabby, no?
And the numbers for this week's weigh in - 50.3kg, 20.1% body fat. Think I started out with abt 28% body fat so a good result certainly.
Ok, enough of this... lights out time...night all.
Thanks for the tip about the egg and the microwave. Will know not to do that. :-)
ReplyDeleteAwesome skipping performances from both of you. Am well impressed as my skipping is dreadful.
Very impressive skipping and stats Elaine! Amazing!
ReplyDeleteI'm getting my yoghurt in 360- they have a good selection there but I'm not buying low fat....
Wow didn't know eggs could explode like that. Thanks for saving me from my future accident.
