Struggling with the treadmill today. Alarm went off at 5 but I didn't get out of bed until 5:50. Poor dh was up for 3 hours in the middle of the night so he's tired and I kind of need his motivation to get out of bed.
My body is sore so walking is a chore today. I don't know if it is from lack of sleep or from a long workout yesterday.
After whining, while on the treadmill, in PWYC yesterday about the scales going in the wrong direction, I got on the scale and it was at 170, not the 172/3 it had been the day before. No idea why (Sunday was a higher salt day plus over 2200 calories) but I'll take it. In fact, I had a hard time reading the number - it was clear but because I didn't expect it, I couldn't believe it. It did make it easier to stick faithfully to the program yesterday!
Today is a new week but I need to be very careful because of the flying days. Good low-cal choices will be almost non-existent plus the exhaustion and jetleg will kill any willpower. And you can't exercise while on a plane.
I'm not flying through the US so I can take some cereal and a few protein bars with me so will try and have enough for breakfast. We leave the hotel before the breakfast time starts and the lounge won't be open at the airport until only a few minutes before our flight boards so there will only be a donut shop for our breakfast until we get to Toronto. We have a fairly tight connection there so may not have time for breakfast at the lounge there (breakfast options in the lounge are healthy - cereals, milk, juice, fruit, whole grain toast.)
If there is no turbulence, I'll get a fruit tray on my first flight. The second flight is 15.5 hours so there will be 2 meals and 2 snacks on it but I don't know what they'll be (one snack will cookies and ice cream but I can't remember the rest of the meals.) Flying from India to Germany, (a 10 hour flight leaving at 3 a.m.) the first meal was a steak dinner! So not only is one forced to eat what is offered but the choice may not, in any way, match what your body is expecting. Since I land mid afternoon in Hong Kong, I expect the meals will be two lunch/dinner type meals but it might be a breakfast and a dinner since my flight leaves at 9:30 a.m.
I'm up insanely early this morning to start training my body for the early start times. Tomorrow we have to leave our house at 7:30 for our hair appointments and Thursday we'll be leaving the hotel at 5 a.m. In order to get any exercise in the next two days, getting up early was the best plan.
