Day 30 - Now That's CREEPY
Day 30 and one third of the way there... Exercises are starting to get challenging and really feeling the burn. BRING IT Baby.. One thing that Patrick mentioned in an email was to focus on your inspirational person, which in my case is "Triathlon Guy"... However, I find it is better to focus on a different image for each exercise. While doing "THE CREEP" I find one image particularly helpful ...

Day 26 - An Indulgence ... or Two
Never ever tell a compulsive man he can "Indulge".
I knew exactly what I wanted as soon as I opened the email from Patrick ... I was born for this ... A "Deluxe Special" Burger at the Sportsman Bar ... The problem was that there was no way I was going to stop there and after whoofing down the "Deluxe" I was compelled to wash it down with a Stella. I ate that Deluxe so fast I didn't even taste it. Absolutely Fantastic!!

Day 24 – Whatever it rakes …
Whatever it takes is the PCP motto here. I have been struggling to find a place to do pull ups and I still haven’t ordered a pull up bar … so after an extensive search of Latissimus Dorsi muscle movements and muscle kinesiology I have come up with the my own version of the pull up … the “rake up” …. And holy crap this works. After the exercises this morning [including the dreaded “rake up”] I could barely lift my arms up to wash my hair. Even forgot to put gel in my hair this morning.
For the first time since PCP I found the exercises really tough … really struggling to finishing them all and feeling the burn. It’s 5.30pm in the afternoon and my arms still feel achy and jellyish . Had a fitful sleep last night… had a clogged nose and ended up taking 2 Panadol and still woke up at 4.30am. Feeling very tired and lethargic. Struggled thru the exercises and had a head ache and blocked nose all through the day. Eventually decided to leave work at around 3pm. Is this PCP telling my body something??

Day 22 - Cha.. cha... cha... changes
I have been thinking about Patrick's recent email asking us to post about the changes we are experiencing.
1. Body shape. This is the biggest change, by far. I have lost about 3 inches off my waist in the first 3 weeks of PCP. About a 1 inch a week. At this rate should have a 19 inch waist!! ... Kate Moss eat your heart out. New pics are up but they really don't tell the whole story... I feel thinner than the pic suggest.
2. Clarity of thought. I seem to be more focused and able to work on one thing longer, rather than jumping all over the place, that is except for blogging and jump rope.
3. No zits, no rashes! Thank god.
4. Sleep better but seem to need less sleep. SCRATCH THAT!! Last night had an awful nights fitful sleep....
Diet is OK and don't feel hungry. I am now on zero carbs for Dinner so we will see how that goes. Exercises seem fine. Although, I have a little confession to make. I actually felt disappointed when I woke up reached and realised that we didn't have to do exercises only 1,000 jump rope. That is really SICK. I need help... from David B.

Day 20 - Bye Bye Gym
Sorry guys and gals it has been a while since I blogged. Went to the gym today to cancel (well at least to suspend for a couple months) my membership. Egads! what am I going to do a lunchtimes? I really need to find something to do to break up the day.
I also did a body composition analysis on one of those groovy machines that measures everything from toe nail length to the diameter of your hair follicles. The good news is that I have gone from:
Weight 93.7kg to 87.7kg
Body Fat Mass 22kg to 17kg
Body Fat % 23.4% to 19.4%
Here is the proof:

Day 16 - The Incredible Shrinking Belt
Belt is down 2 notches but you wouldn't know it from the new weekly photos. Jeez, I was large and still got a ways to go. Can't seem to get off the 88kg mark.
