Day 1 - 0 down 90 to go...

So, today is the first day of our PCP. I woke up pretty excited this morning to get the whole thing going, still somewhat unbelieving that it had all begun. First emails only began coming in late last night, and for some reason, I thought there'd be a feeling of transformation. I guess it doesn't happen overnight, but the more we get into the project, I'm sure the deeper this realisation will sink in.

Woke up early this morning around 5am from excitement of it all. Setup camera to take our photos on Day 1. Was debating for a very long time as to whether to setup the camera exactly the same way every time we take the photo, or just take it however. After all it's about our body changes - not the background. Anyways, played around with that for a very long time before finally having what I considered an OK setup, taking notes as to how I set the camera where. Took my photos and went to wake a sleepy Greenie from her sleep at 6am.

Not working at the moment, so we can wake up a bit earlier, but when I start again next month, we'll probably have to start getting up around 5am.. we've decided to do the exercise every morning before work, because we know that it's likely the only way we'll be able to commit to doing the exercise every day.

We bought a fancy new scale the other day. It's tiny, but it tells you your weight, fat % bone weight, muscle weight etc etc... These things are pretty sensitive, but Greenie and I have decided to weigh ourselves everyday, first thing when we wake up to try and keep the results consistent. We'll plot the results, and hopefully over time we'll see a nice trend coming through thanks to PCP. ^^

Checked our weight on the fancy new scale and took her photos too, then off to skipping! Greenie's pretty good at skipping, but does the double jump per skip, where she puts a mini-hop in between. I've been trying to teach her how to skip with single jumps recently, but it's been difficult. She's started to make some wonderful progress today though, and I think is getting the hang of it. Hopefully she can become super efficient at doing single-hop skipping really soon!

With all the skipping practice, we didn't have enough time this morning to do the rest of the workout, so we've saved that for tonight. 

I had two 叉燒包 (char siu bao) for breakfast this morning - Greenie had one. Greenie always brings home awesome food from work, because they have luncheons all the time and have leftovers. She had actually brought five bao home, and I was going to eat four of them (I steamed all five), but then thought about the eat-half diet, and thought that realistically I wouldn't eat eight for breakfast... (or would I? :D )

Bye bye char siu bao... :(((
