Time for some new trousers





Inspired by Vittorio-though not as impressive.




Fitter,certainly-though more gormless.

Day 90 Thoughts.

Overall the PCP has been the one of the things in my life that I’ve been proudest of doing. To have gone from my usual -just watching other people do  something to actually having done it myself is something that I still don’t really believe I’ve done. Like Chris said it was a choice that I wasn’t really sure I could commit the time, money and energy to but doing it has made me realize that I couldn’t have afforded not to do it. With apologies to Geordie for stealing his format.The last 3 months have taught me

1.       Eating healthily is simple.

2.       I really like and want to eat vegetables.

3.       I really like eating (at least) 6 times a day.

4.       The connection between my diet and my body is  real, if I eat crap I look crap.

5.       Going to the gym without eating carefully is useless.

6.       I always knew I liked skipping for a good reason.

7.       My self-confidence is much higher when I am in shape.

8.       You can’t drink 3 pints and a big glass of port and eat fish and chips, chocolate and cookies without throwing up.

9.       Doing difficult things with a group of great people makes them a lot less difficult.

10.   Its great having a waist again- I want to keep it.

11.   An average apple weighs 170gms.

12.   The public are quite happy to eat a horrible amount of s$%t.

Last of all thanks. Thanks to my wife and kids for putting up with this. Thanks to all my fellow PCPers whose blogs really inspired me during the tough times. Particularly -Chris whose posts were always great to read, Vittorio who was always positive, George's thoughtful writing, a special PCP hero award to Richard G whose commitment in the midst of the earthquake/nuclear crisis while doing a really important job was humbling. I really appreciated all the comments I got from everyone, esp Molly, Heather, Chris and Juan.

Patrick and Chen- PCP is the bomb- you rock.
