Day 63

Had my brother staying with us over the weekend: he was here in Hong Kong for the first time in the ten years I've been out here, so there were ample opportunities for things to go wrong PCP-wise, however I think we did pretty well to keep it interesting while limiting the damage. We had a big dinner and and big lunch, but managed not to drink and kept the carbs to a minimum. Meanwhile we did plenty of hiking and moving and still managed to do our sets so I'd like to think we burned much of the excess....I was certainly knackered enough at the end of it!
The one lesson learned was that you can't just rearrange meals all that easily - we were quite busy through the weekend and because of going off to slightly remote locations, we tended to group stuff together and miss a bit here and there and add it on elsewhere. It just doesn't work. We messed up the basic rhythm that we have gotten used to and we ended up stuffing ourselves at one time, feeling too full and going hungry at other times and I can immediately see the logic behind the continuous controlled stream of consumption...it really works to keep the hunger in check while managing the flow. My system was all over the place this weekend and it really wasn't all that pleasant - my body definitely prefers this new way of eating...

I have the week off this week: Progress remains on the slow side, but I have the time to put in some extra hours on the trails and try and increase the fat burn. Four weeks to go & plenty to do....
