Just over a week on the real start to the diet part of the PCP program and I get invited to go on base shopping! After 10 years on Japan I thought I had gotten used to whats what, and in general not too familiar with a lot of the American eating habits, surprisingly different when I see what you can actually buy in cans and boxes, saying that but I am sure if I went back to aus now I would see the same - after all it has been 10 years now since I went grocery shopping back home. Anyway, besides those things I noticed different, I did notice a all the good (bad) temptations that will haunt me until I get back on after PCP finished....cold cut meats, fat juicy steaks, tonnes of different dips and cheeses, so many different soft drinks in HUGE containers and cartons of cheap beer....and all I bought was a heap of multi grain tortillas, few kg's (sorry...lbs) of fresh prawns and some really bad snacks (but my best ever favorites - pork rinds....I know....but I wont touch them until day 90! and that will be a once off!)

Up until dinner stuck to the plan. Invited out for dinner, ate as close as I could to my allocations for the night without taking a scale with me. Think I did well, the food was really fresh and only slightly seasoned and where possible the chef put everything including sauces etc to the side for me. Will make that a once a week event just to make a point of getting me out of the kitchen. Given its golden week in Japan after tomorrow, another 3 days off so will focus on a few things, including getting my meal preps down to make it much easier for the months to follow.
