Day 62 - A new type of air sickness
On the road traveling to oz. In preparation for the flight I packed my headphones, ipad, 2 boiled eggs and steamed veg for my airplane dinner. For breakfast ... and I am warning you, don't ever do this ... I ordered the low fat airplane meal ... it was foul... got off the plane and went straight to the gym with my jumprope and bands. powered through the exercises and feeling great - except for the airplane food.

Day 59 - “Daddy I need a diet”
It looks like my new PCP body is finally getting noticed by those around me. Lately, my six year old son, Jay, has been running around poking out his tummy saying that he "needs a diet".. He has also been getting slightly upset at dinner times because he can’t have an apple and an egg white …. Give me a break.
P.S. my son has about as much fat on him as Gollum.... come to think of it he looks a lot like Gollum... must be his mum's side.... please don't tell Mrs Ferrier about this blog.

Day 58 - Early Morning Grunting
I feel a bit like PCP is taking over my life. I wake up at 5.30am (more lately 6.00am, thank god for school holidays) and crawl out of bed for my PCP exercise fix. The exercises are taking longer now ... about an hour ... and at the end of it I'm a quivering mess. Most days I am able to exercises outside which is pretty cool ... however, I am little concerned that the neighbours will start complaining about all the early morning Grunting ... Groaning ... Cursing ... and Swearing ... mainly about PCP and other people/things I HATE.

Day 57 - Double In Dulgence
As I said before never tell a compulsive man he can indulge … Twice. I got Patrick’s email on Friday … (note to PK can you PLEASSSE send the indulgence emails AFTER the weekend). I was thinking about a nice dinner with Mrs. Ferrier but, unfortunately, she was not feeling that great. So I caught up with a mate in SoHo… 5-10 beers (I lost count) later and things were looking pretty shabby and yes … I felt very sick and skipped dinner altogether But … you can’t keep a good man down and Sat night I ate my PCP apple and egg white dinner and planned to attend a friends birthday where I would just have my usual fresh lemon soda … unfortunately that plan didn’t work out and we ended up at a another friends going away dinner at a very nice French private kitchen … I ordered the pigs knuckle that look like it belonged to a rhino... yikes a "Rhino Knuckle"??. Some nice French wine and that was a enjoyable indulgence and it felt great.

Day 47 - Sorry PR but the dog ate all your emails …
WTF … Homework !!?@ .. I didn’t sign up for this. PR is trying to get us to do homework. Hey, we are adults and we don’t DO homework. What’s next? A pop quiz? What if I don’t do our homework? The Naughty Chair?
1. I was doing it while I was taking a shit and wiped my ass with it by accident.
2. My house is being fumigated and I don't want to go in there and suffocate just to get it.
3. A bunch of nerds stole it to make sure theirs were completely perfect.
4. I didn't do it because I spent all night doing the previous night's homework.
5. My skimpy printer ran out of ink.
6. I let somebody copy it but they never gave it back.
7. I skipped it to spite you and your authority.
8. I have a life.
9. Would $50.00 give me another day to complete the assignment?
10. I left it in my locker with last week's assignment.
11. It wasn't challenging enough.
12. It was too challenging.
13. I didn't think I needed to.
14. Joe asked Ashley out! Homework? Right..
15. I was hacking into the school computer network but my crappy computer crashed and I stayed up until 3:30 reformatting my hard drive. I fixed it, but fell asleep at the keyboard before I could try again.
16. One of the textbook's word problems offended me. I'm not supporting them by doing any more of their problems.
17. I just...didn't feel like it.
18. My cat pissed on it thinking it was a newspaper that we put down for her.
19. I'm an environmentalist. Two sheets of looseleaf paper? That's a tree!
20. I did it, but I'm not turning it in because one of the commas is out of shape. Erasing it would smudge it and whiting it out would make it smell funny. You know I'm a perfectionist!
21. I'm failing anyway, so what's the point?
22. I'd get a better grade not doing it and studying then doing it and not having any time to study.
23. It's only 25% of my grade!
24. Where'd you get that wig?
25. A mad circus clown stole it on my bus stop and tried luring me into his house with it.
26. We had homework?
27. My palm pilot broke.
28. The bus seat was too wet to finish it this morning.
29. I couldn't find the answer book in the library.
30. I got hungry...
31. I'm afraid that if I try, I'll keep failing.
32. History repeats itself. I didn't do my homework last week.
33. I couldn't find a writing utensil.
34. I was at an amusement park all day yesterday.
35. Hey, look! There's an elephant outside!
36. I used it for spitballs.
37. I didn't finish copying it yet.
38. It was too boring.
39. ANTS!
40. John took it and put his name on it.
41. I didn't do it.
42. It is absent.
43. It is on vacation.
44. I see dead people.
45. It was raining and I slipped and the paper fell and it got muddy and when I cleaned it off the ink was all gone and I tried to copy someone's paper, but the copier ran out of ink and my computer was broken so I couldn't print it.
46. What is homework? (use on first day of school)
47. I didn't do it bitch.
48. I went to the mall with my friends. Do you know what friends are?
49. I spent all my money for pens and paper at the store on condoms and lubricant. Trojan man! Da da da duh daaaa!
50. My piece of advice: homework does not make good spitballs.
51. I am doing this cultish fitness and health program that makes me too damn tired too do any thing but sleep, eat and exercise.
I have been giving some thought as to some excuses that I might use for not doing it. Well to tell the truth … not much thought other than to type “homework excuses” into Google. My personal favourite is number 51….
1. I was doing it while I was taking a shit and wiped my ass with it by accident.

Day 44 - Carbs Craving
It's not all smooth sailing here at Gym Conway. On Sunday afternoon I was at the Stoep, a well known Hong Kong beach BBQ hang out, with the family and friends. And I heard a familiar voice ... its ok, try me, take a big sip, its a hot day, you deserve it ... Of course, it was the friendly and comforting call of the dreaded Beer Sirens! But like Ulysses I strapped my self to the chair ... and ordered my usual lemon squash...
All in all a great day at the beach ... despite the dreaded Beer Sirens.

Day 39 - Iron Man or Triathalon Guy
I have a small confession to make… I really wanted my Inspiration Guy to be Robert Downey’s character in Iron Man. How cool is RDJ as Tony Stark in that movie? But I thought it was a bit childish to choose a such a "big" character. But I have to tell you I do secretly LOVE Tony Stark … there I said it … why? I hear you say. Well because he gets to play with cool toys (Scarlett and Gwyneth), drive fast cars, blow things up, and gives the digit to authority. Pretty childish and I LOVE IT …
Instead I chose Triathlon Guy … who is also pretty cool I guess … well done Triathlon Guy … I love you too … whoever you are.

Day 36 – A Pain in the Neck
Please help me. I have given the “8min Abs” video a couple of runs and I have decided to rename this video “8mins of Excruciating Neck Pain”. I am not sure what I am going wrong but my neck is in absolute agony. Am I flexing too much? Or rotating too much? I don’t know… To find out what I am doing wrong I have made a short clip of the action that I am experiencing… please help. “It Burns…It Burns…It Burns”
