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 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!)

Day 44 - every cloud...

Completely agree with Brent's analysis: a few beers leads to bad food. A week in NY with nights out every night saw me drinking to much & raiding the hotel mini-bar for M&Ms & then eating cookies/greasy sandwiches the next day to kill the hangover. There were some positives though -in this case two. 1) I still did my exercises every day 2) I was eating and drinking less than I usually would have done pre-PCP and still felt disgusted with myself - that much mean some long term psychological & physical changes have already been imprinted on the brain.

Might need three doses of the eight minute ab man today as penance...Trying to use as much of his lingo at work as well - hey gang, there yaaa go, right there, nice n easy etc

Day 37 - egg white paradise

Starting to feel very tired in the evenings & massively in need of at least 7-8 hours kip as the exercise step up is kicking in. Made the fatal dismissive error of seeing the new exercises and telling Sarah that the new bicycles looked like a piece of p1ss. How wrong I was. The hardest thing by a country mile we have done so far. Really pleased with progress tho. Not gonna mention any stats after Patrick's reprimand to whoever it was citing the weight/fat %ages etc on this weeks video!  Seriously tho, the videos are excellent - a great personal touch, educational and really helps keeping us on track.

Highly recommend scrambled egg whites with a splash of rice vinegar and black pepper...taste sensation.

PCP over and out
