Unfortunately, everyone in Lisbon speaks English, including waiters, bus drivers and taxi drivers. It wasn’t that way in Brazil, there only the wealthy speak English.
I had a few uses for Portuguese though, translating mostly. I still think it’s a beautiful language, and I’m going to continue using it and listening to it every chance I get.

My next step toward this goal is to go to MEPPS and get my physical. I’m going this Saturday, at the wonderful hour of 5am. Which reminds me, I’d better get up earlier the rest of this week to be somewhat prepared! Luckily I already go to sleep around 10-11pm so I’m not that far off. I need 8 hours though, so that means in bed by 9, haha. The sun doesn’t go down until 830! Well I can be tired for the day, that’s ok too. It’s just a physical.
I should be having my PRT around the 21st, I’m slighly concerned about that. I know I can max out pushups and curlups, but the run will be outdoors and I’m not a fast runner indoors. It’s very hot here now, rarely gets below 80 degrees, and very humid too. I will be doing all my runs from not until then outdoors so I can try and get used to it.

I really hate the South Beach diet right now. I’ve lost about 3lbs, which is nice, but not noticeable, and I’m so sick of raw vegetables and chicken breast already! Can I please just have a cookie =/
I wouldn’t be following this plan, but it’s pretty easy to follow and my boyfriend will do it. I had to have a way to motivate him, and keep him on track. I’m doing all the grocery shopping, cooking and cleaning after each meal to make sure he eats what he’s supposed to. It’s getting really tedious- after cooking 12 meals in the last 4 days, as well as snacks.
I’m going to stick with it, at least for two more days. I didn’t lose weight the last two days, so I need another weight loss to keep myself motivated. Otherwise the stress of having to stick with this will drive my crazy.
