Wow, after tricep burns yesterday, today's workout was more pleasant. Weirdly though I have been starving the whole day long. Not exactly sure why.
Bruce's skipping is positively INCREDIBLE. I used to be the skipping champ in this house, but seems like my better half has found his mojo.... Great inspiration for me also. Wow, he can skip !!
Good to be back on the Blog. Helps me stay motivated. Can't believe that the end of PCP is in sight. Wow, Patrick. How exhausting it must be for you to be motivating PCPers every day of the year. Although I guess it is hugely satisfying for you to see the end result in each person who has whinged or whined along the way but made it to the end with a yeeehaaaaah.
Looking forward to my strawberries and yoghurt now as bedtime snack. The egg white smoothies seem like a distant hazy dream.....

Day 66 - long time no blog
Sorry gang - long time with no blog. It has been so friggin' busy past week or so, I don't know where the hours are flying.
Will do a proper blog tonight. Just checked out the Pucksters' blogs and you are all doing fantastically. Tres impressed with the group's progress.

Day 57 - bugger bugger bugger
I was cocky too soon. Woke up to do skips straight away and agony - injury is back, so had to abandon skips half way through and brisk walk on the treadmill instead. Mornings are so tight for time, so did another brisk dog walk at sunset tonight while B fed the kids.
Then did my exercises just now, but had to make up some different leg ones as the pain is too sore for lunges and pistol squats and of course the jumps. However, squats were less painful so hammered out lots of those !
So this time I won't let the injury get me down or lose my focus. I shall just re-adjust the cardio part and then cut back on the carbs until skipping or running again.
I am pissed off though. Things happen for a reason just can't fathom why this is happening on PCP. Lets just keep going and see....

Day 56 - skipping master is back
Wooooooohooooooooooo back on the skipping after sprained muscle has repaired. Three days now of skipping like Sylvester Stallone and so good for the morale.
Bruce cheered me on today for the 4 x 4 minute sets and I managed to do 400, 494, 492 and 400 skips in the four sets. Just call me Rocky..... welcome back to the game Georgie !!!

Day 53 - knee repaired
Been a bit off the PCP radar. Got really depressed by the injury and it threw me off balance with the whole project.
However, good news is it feels 100% today, so I am going to start skipping again from tomorrow.
Then seeing the physio on Monday to get his professional opinion.
Have not been having any carbs after my one piece of Low GI bread for breakfast while my cardio has not been happening. Not really missed it too much at lunch. Just increase the salad part of veggies so I feel good and full till pm snack.
Bruce back tomorrow, so that will make it easier to duck away and do the exercises. My little one is still too wee to leave unattended, so have to do workouts when they are asleep which is not very fun but once Bruce is back tomorrow, then we can cane it for the last chunk of PCP and shift taking care of the kids so we can work out in mornings and afternoons again.
My jeans look baggy on the bum today and need a belt for the waist which is a great feeling. Also, went out last night with kids for a birthday supper and a person who has not seen me for ages commented on a new slimmer version of me. That always feels good !!
Hope all your weekends are great. I will be blogging positive exercise news from tomorrow. In the meantime, food is going great and I am looking forward to having an indulgence with Bruce this weekend.

Day 49 - dog power walking
Obviously the treadmill is no kinder to my leg injury than skipping which is gutting. So today's cardio saw me power walk our two dogs round the estate at high speed. They were pooped when I got back and haven't stopped sleeping since so hopefully the pace was PCP passable.
Pissed off about this sore knee, but know everything happens for a reason. Chatted to the physio guy today and he has suggested trying cycling as cardio tomorrow, as there is no way I can get to a pool.
I am hoping that 2 or 3 days more of "resting" my left leg a bit will mean it is ready for the final 40 days of caning it on PCP. I guess an injury is to teach one patience and frustration management. I am working on it!
However, somebody took pity on me and ensured that when I got on the scales this morning, a further half kilo has been removed from my wobbly bits, so the high I am on from that good news is hard to ruin.
Seems like I am 3.5kg down from the start. I was aiming for 2kgs each month as a minimum, so that means I am on track - shew !! The place I can see best shrinkage results is my ass. So actually PCP has helped the view for others in my life - not me in the mirror. HA HA HA !

Day 48
Going to go treadmill and exercise now. Couldn't split it into two parts today. Will try to do skipping or treadmill first thing tomorrow and then enjoy the feeling that exercise is done for the day (the Tuesday oasis of cardio only).
Bruce flying as I type. Will feel odd drinking my egg white smoothie alone not to mention having to hang out with 8 minute Ab dude by myself - impressed at the PCPers out there doing this solo. The solace and encouragement of doing this as a two has been indescribable.
I really can't wait to reach Day 50. Will be super proud of us all when that landmark is reached. I have lost 3kgs so am chuffed now. Just want to get leg all better so I can get back into the early morning skipping. Am keen to "melt" the fat as much as possible. The pressure of the 90 day photo is starting to mount....
Happy Monday to you all.
