Day 90 - thats all folks

All done, loved almost every every minute. I feel sharper, less stressed, more energetic, sleep better and thats before the 6 inches that have come off my waistline (37.5 to 31.5) and 7 kgs that I have dropped (85 to 78) Not much else to say as my wife, as is so often the case, has said it all. One last word, would be impossible to have done it without her, not for any cheesy reason, rather we both needed someone to bore to tears with diet/exercise tedious detail and anecdotes.

Patrick - you are a legend.  PCP out.

Before and After below

Day 83 - wearing a bit thin

1hr 15m to do the exercises now - which means get home from work and start around 7.30 in the dark/damp misery of autumnal London. Caught a cold from the kids to really cheer me up. Might start skipping to the Smiths.

Day Nearly at The End: Seriaaaaass...

....gas issues.  That'd be the 4 egg whites a day then...only taken a month to work out what it is. In which time the whole family is kitted out with chemical hazard suits. Getting a little bit sick of the skipping to be honest - just as the time cranks up I also find myself a late developer in speed skipping so its a double whammy on the number of jumps. Planter facilitis (sole of the foot knack in laymans speak) twinges. Plus my left knee makes a noise like bubble wrap popping on each pistol squat....which surely isn't right. Is 36 too old for this gig? Hell no... even DK'ed this weeks 1000 calorie offer of an indulgence in favour of steak/veg and a jacket spud (ok that is a still non-compliant meal esp with the glass of wine) but it was not as ordered to go completely off piste by commander P.

2 weeks to go.. and only now do i realise the power of the clean rather than incline pull up as demonstrated by that ripped adonis Roland R on day 46

Day 73 - Abject failure...

....of the muscles at the end of my reps. Its working a treat but I am needing my sleep like never before. Skipping in the morning now a must so that the intense multiple reps don't get rushed at the end of the day. I had one lapse this week - a few beers in Zurich at a summer party led to insane hunger pangs and then a very calorific loaf of brown bed, schnitzel, gherkins and cheese slob out at about 11.30pm before bed. Felt awful the next day and rued the vicious cycle of booze/bad food. Have been thinking a lot about post PCP this week and really can't see myself ever going back to the bad old ways of chocolate/pizza/wine in the evening at home etc. The hunger pangs from the early PCP days have completely gone and its a constant smooth plane of constant energy which rocks. Wish my bloody wife would stop baking cakes - that is the only torment (which i have been giving into occasionally) Got quite evangelical this week when i thought PCP had cured me of life-long colour blindness... the P burst that bubble with some rational scientific explanation on the weekly video though. Keratin, carrots, enhanced night-vision etc... Know it all.

Day 60 - back on track

Stubborn gut and @rse fat won't fark off. Must be the raisins i am pretending i am not eating every night. 30 days to go and they are out of the picture from here on in. Bought some 32 inch jeans today, well pleased with that... a bit tight when i sit down but it gives me something to aim for and unlike all previous optimistic clothes purchases i know i will be getting into these in 30 days. Loving the intensity of the exercises - highly recommend skipping to techno.

Good work Patrick. Very impressed with your handiwork 2/3rds of the way in & each week when i think you can't step it up you go and pull something else out of the hat. 7 sets of 12 incline pull ups was the thing that got me today....7! Gratuitous.

Day 46 - evil evil bicycles

4x40 secs... the hardest exercise by a mile

Day 45 - wierd science

Amazing how a few days of rubbish food (pretzels, egg mayo sarnies, m&ms, sauces on food etc) leads to weight addition and even more amazing how it drops off when you stop. Was actually craving the veggies and scrambled egg whites last night... Weight (despite Patrick's insistence that we don't, can anyone actually claim to not look at it daily?) back on trend after a few days of PCP normality. Is PCP the new norm in my mind.. i think it is. Feeling very positive about the second half and almost slightly disappointed that we only have another 45 days of personal discovery..

PCP H2 - bring it on.  (although if we go any higher than 4x50 min planks I am not sure I can take it!)
