Almost half way done...

Day 42 today, getting closer to the half of the program... :-)

Congrats to my colleagues and friend that are ending the PCP tomorrow: great work guys, keep motivating us!

I'm happy of the progress even if sometimes I think it's not going fast enough! Working out on weekend is very difficult for me as I don't have the same structure and schedule I do during weekdays. Not mentioning working out on my own changes from the daily weekdays workout session with Khoi! It really helps to workout in team, the mutual motivation is much higher and you push yourself further that you'll have on your own!

Weekend workout was... not that great! I woke up on Saturday after receiving a sms from a friend to go kiteboarding in China. Kiteboarding is a sport that I really love and we haven't had decent wind in HK for a while during weekends... so the idea to spend some hours on the water and finally try some new tricks was really appealing. So I made the effort to wake up, prepared the breakfast, pack the gears, the fruit snacks and the lunch and left for Shenzhen. Met the 2 other guys and we left for a beach that we call MB2 (for Magic Beach 2 as it always have some good wind... so far). It takes almost 2 hours to get there from Shenzhen by car. When we arrived, the wind died as the clouds were too thick and the sun didn't pass through it to generate the thermal winds we were hopping for...!!! Nothing to do other than wait and hope... after 2 hours, still nothing came so I grab my rope and skipped on the beach... Skipping by 33+ degrees and high humidity was hard... stopped after that, no more workout on that day, no kitting either!

Sunday wasn't really better, I went through the skipping and the leg exercises for Saturday and Sunday as I wanted to compensate for my laziness of the previous day and did most of the elastic band exercises... was so tired that I didn't do the abs, took a shower and went to watch the last Transformer movie (not great but not bad... just... one more)!

Today's workout/rest day went fine and as it was a light day, Khoi and I decided to give a try to the 8min abs video. Good video, I like it! I'll try to do it more often on top of the daily abs exercises...! Felt also a pain in my neck similar to the one described by some of my fellow PCPers... will just have to do it more often!

I'm happy that we start the timed skipping session tomorrow, I'll not have to count anymore as I found that so boring (thanks Tracey for your suggestion but I really love my rope for Thai boxing: it's so heavy that it almost turn on its own and make you workout your arms at the same time)! I really would like to give a try to do the rope session in the morning just after waking up but that will require me to wake up earlier and I love to maximize my sleep before going to work... ;-)

Junk trip #2 this coming Sunday... again a new challenge on avoiding good food/beer... Wish me luck!

Just updated some new pictures... work in progress...!!!
