Day 79 - life's a beach

My last blog talked of an upcoming ball... All went well wit only water to drink and modest amounts of the food that was plated and placed in front of me. No hangover and no guilt and in fact the biggest headache was the fact that my dinner jacket doesn't fit any more.

After a regular week in Hong Kong we headed off on holiday for kids half term. Shangri La in Cebu is exactly the sort of place where it can all go wrong... Or all go right. All those all you can eat buffets, complimentary cocktails and the like. However I have just folded skipping and exercises into the day's beach and pool schedule and followed the diet as close as I possibly can. Toast, poached egg, veggies and milk for breakfast - full and ready to go and no need to have the juice, cereal, croissants et al that everyone else seems to be gorging on.

In fact I would say a beach holiday at the tail end of PCP should be compulsory (Patrick - perhaps you might include this in your guidance!). You get the chance to see what terrible shape 95% of the population are in and it really reinforces the changes that we are making to our bodies and our lifestyles. I'm going to keep this up forever. It's the first time in 20 years that I look good by the pool and I've definitely got myself down from a 4W to a 2S (if you don't get that then do some digging on Patrick's blogs). Bottom line is that it's all just incredible!

Did the weekly weigh in a couple of days early before coming down here - will be interesting to see how they look when I am back - which showed me I'm down 36 lbs which is also pretty incredible.
