Day 90

The pictures speak for themselves.

In 3 months I've undone a good 15 years worth of damage and I feel fitter and healthier than I can remember. I've shed 3 inches off my waist and and just over 12kg.

Day One

Day 90

            

I was the guy who went to the gym 3 times a week for a bit of stairmaster action The original pictures show this wasnt working out too well. I guess the drinking didnt help either.



This project has changed my whole mentality not only to working out but to diet and food in general and has been a great experience. It was hard work at times but once you are in the right mindset, its much easier than you think.

 



Day 81

Jet lag and a cold have not helped with this weeks exercises which have been tough and time consuming. A couple of times ive run out of energy before the ab exercises. No six pack for me it seems but very happy with results elsewhere.

Holiday 1 PCP 0

Back in HK after a 2 week holiday visiting relatives in England.

I feel like I've taken a few steps back achieving peak condition but it was kind of impossible to do otherwise. We were constantly out and about and ended up eating out for virtually every lunch and dinner. Even finding time to do the exercises was at times difficult.

I think I struck a good holiday vs PCP balance but am now motivated to knuckle down for the next 2 weeks or so to achieve the best end results possible

On the plus side, my wardrobe has been somewhat replenished. Gone from a somewhat tight 36" waist easy leg trouser to a nearly baggy 34" straight..

Royal PCP

In sunny England (no it is really) and sticking to the PCP diet is very, very tough.

Everyone's life seems to revolve around food here and Ive had to turn down loads of dinner invitations and sit around whilst everyone else is wolfing down pizza & pasta. We always seem to be on the move which is making the mid morning and afternoon snacks difficult to follow too.

Ive managed to do pretty much all the exercises but, without a gym, yesterdays pull ups and kung fu sit ups were a bridge too far.

Just spent a few mins surfing the PCP site and have seen how ripped a lot of the other guys are. Feeling a bit low as Im so far away from them. Have I been doing most of the exercises incorrectly?

Day 58

Decided to save my curry indulgence for next week when I'll be in London...aah i can smell the chicken tikka masala already.

I have become a lot more vain the more PCP has gone on but i guess Im now less embarassed to look at myself for a while in the mirror. I have realised that most of my weight seems to have come off my legs and posterior so the pcitures dont really tell the whole story....All my clothes are very loose which says enough by itself...32 more days to sort out the chest and belly.

Day 52

Saw 2 people this evening in the gym that I havent seen for a while and both commented about how much weight i have lost. This has set up the weekend very nicely indeed thank you.

Workouts are becoming more and more challenging. My attempts at kung fu sit ups were laughable. "keep your legs up at 90 degrees and take a breath" ..are you having a laugh, Patrick?

Bumped into a couple of other friends on the way out of the gym who were in the bar downstairs and sat with them for a couple of hours. Managed to stick to the water. A major milestone.

This has got me thinking,..why has Pure opened a bar underneath the gym ..why indeed. Very clever.

Day 49

The Day of Indulgence is nearly here....and I cant decide what to eat. 

Chocolate, pizza, fries, curry... You know what I just dont care. Oh dear, I have been truly PCPd.

Oh wait..curry you win. Phew! I was getting worried there.
