It has been a while since I wrote something on this blog... was too busy or too lazy... not sure! ;-)
PCP is going well so far! I'm trying to keep the diet as close as possible to the prescribed quantities! Indulged myself with a bit of Swiss chocolate, was a bit too old and didn't taste as great and amazing as I expected... just as Patrick described!
Workout is going ok so far, just missed one day of workout as I went kiteboarding and didn't have enough energy to go through the workout after the day on the water... As my knees were hurting badly from the skipping, I stayed away from the rope during one week and replaced it by some 30min on the elliptical session; running between 5.5 to 6km per session and now... back to the rope!
I don't know about you but counting these jumps are really annoying to me so I'm looking forward when we'll switch to timed session. I find it easier to workout on weekdays as I'm going to the gym with Khoi and we motivate each other, that really helps! Weekends have too much freedom and if you don't do your workout in the morning it becomes really hard to get it done! I also tried to workout outside but with 30+ degrees it just take forever and make me feel dizzy.
Mark, Andrew and Nick are a week away from their peak condition projects to be completed. I haven't seen Mark for a while but Andrew and Nick improved a lot: congrats guys! In our batch among my colleagues, Marlon made huge progress and significantly reduced his belly. Khoi and Victor also lost part of their bellies... and that keeps our motivation high! Victor, if you read these lines: don't get crazy on Malaysian food during your holidays Bro! ;-)
On my side I'm pretty happy of the progress: I was 113.9kg the day before the PCP start and I'm know 7kg down so far! I (finally) uploaded the pictures and I'm looking forward to continue progressing into the PCP!
Following Mark's advise, I bought a blender to prepare my dinner: apple, banana, milk and egg whites with a bit of cinnamon in the blender and my dinner is ready in 30sec and it taste good! Patrick, what kind of other fruits could we use instead of these 2 to change a bit of the flavor?
OK, enough writing for tonight... will try to write something more often! ;-)
Re the counting skips - I highly recommend a rope with a skip counter on it. I have a digital one.
ReplyDeleteI just reset the counter to zero, put on some dance music and zone out while skipping. I look down from time to time to find out where I am at but I can skip through them in no time. (see what I did there?)
I usually add about 25 at the end to make up for my numerous trips.
Good to hear from you man! Keep blogging more consistently and you'll find it boosts your motivation a ton, especially as things get tougher here in the middle bit.
ReplyDelete7 kg is a lot, but let's push harder, still a lot of days to go! You're KILLING it man!
