Tough going

Think I might have overdone it slightly at the weekend cramming in squash, tennis, yoga, swimming and of course PCP with added 8 mins of you-know-what.  Started today's exercises, but just didn't have anything left.  I know that that's the time I really need to push and thus maximise the benefit of the exercises, but I was spent.  Gonna have an early night, get up early and hit the gym first thing with hopefully renewed energy.  Definitely not one of my best PCP days - onwards and upwards!

I've got your back...

...or so said the PCP-sceptic who's in town for while (you know who you are...), which was comforting given that Ricky, who usually puts me through my PCP-paces at weekends, is out of town for a while.  Turns out wiping the floor of the squash court with said sceptic was indeed comforting! 

Definitely feeling the positive impact of the project when doing sports - no longer gasping for breath and looking for the exit a short while in.  Makes a nice change.

'This will never hurt you'

the man in lycra says... well, maybe not injure me, but 8 min abs after kung fu and sit-ups does hurt.  A lot.

Nevertheless I like the way the exercises a structured allowing more focus on a given muscle group on a given day.  Still finding the shoulder days the toughest.  Easter gonna be all about PCP (when isn't?).

Magic mushrooms

Went on a veg chopping binge tonight as the new diet has a 'all you can eat' veg for lunch deal.  Found these suspicious looking shrooms:

Should I dry them out for a few weeks and make a nice shake or just steam and hope for the best?

Had a good PCP day ending with an hour's worth of tabletennis (when in China...) down the local sports centre - had quite a few onlookers as they don't get many tabletennis-playing gweilos round these parts. Shoulder exercises today were tough but got there in the end... and as for the v-sits...

Hollowed out

Weighed in at 78.5 kgs for the weekly pic - that's down from 86 kgs in week 1.  I knew I had some excess fat, but 7.5kgs?!  Feels great to the lose the excess and I have a little spring in my step after coming off the scales, so I decided to do the 8mins abs for good measure...let's go gang!

Extracurricular activities

of the PCP-compliant kind of course...  Did lengths in the 50m pool in Victoria Park (highly recommended for any HK-based PCPers out there), followed by PCP with taskmaster Ricky, followed by tennis and yoga.  I'm spent. It's Saturday night, but even if I fancied going out there's no chance of mustering the energy.  Instead, I'm blogging and steaming veg.  Must dash, or the bell peppers will over-cook.  Oh yeah...

Morning Glory

Well, the Jekyll and Hyde scenario continues to play out - exhausted yesterday, killing it today.  Looking forward to the day I'm consistently killing it... Did my first morning peak walk today - glorious start to the day.  There'll be more of that for sure.  Halfway guys - keep it up!
