Today had disaster written all over it. We (me, Wife & Duck) were on an 8:35am flight to Jakarta for a business trip. Journey was two flights in all, arriving around 3:40pm. Plan was to get settled and perform the Tabata workout in the Evening. On the food side, plan was to fast until around 12-1pm and then break it with what I had prepared, some low fat sausages and some cooked meats, all well and good so far. Well as the age-old saying goes “the best laid plans of mice and men inevitably end up getting fucked up”. The first flight was cancelled due to a technical fault. Thankfully as we had Duck with us we were given priority for getting on the next flight which was at 1:25pm. Anyway we obviously missed our connection, rebooked on another flight and instead of landing at 3:40pm (pre-rush hour) we landed at 8:00pm. FYI rush hour in Jakarta can last till 10pm. Whoever designed the road system and were responsible for the infrastructure needs hanging up by their fucking ears and their pubes set alight, worst traffic in the world. Anyway by the time we got to the apartment it was gone 9pm.
Needless to say, after a monster journey and having to unpack and get the baby to bed, the Tabata workout was swerved. On the food side, the packed lunch was demolished around 1pm and I spent half of the remainder of the day looking for low-carb/hig protein foods from in and around the airport. A bag of sunflower seeds and a bag of soy nuts was all I could muster. As hard as I tried there was no way I was staying as low-carb as I’d have liked.
The day finished off on a high, ordered an abundance of tandoor items from a local Indian restaurant. This bumped the protein up without doing too much damage to the carbs for the day. Under the circumstances, I’m pretty pleased with how my stats looked.
Anyway, water on the bridge, tomorrow I carry on with the program
