Day 89

2nd last day, had a busy day at work and got the gym at 5 but without having lunch, - oops not good prep for supersets. My sets aren't that super as my shoulder wont do dips, and front raises are a bit ropey too, but I think the back chest combo rocks and could be the key to efficient, effective workouts in the future. V-sits killed and the plank is , well, the plank.

Should be shattered but feeling oddly energetic, and wierdly feel like I could go on for another few weeks when actually I know that I really need a break., must be going mad.

Looking forward to tomorrow.

Night all.  

Supersets

in the afternoon yesterday- sent to bed by wife at 8.30pm shattered.Feeling good this morning though.

Supersets

look crazy hard.

Friday catch up

Did the chest and biceps workout which i missed this week today, this is my favourite i think with the appropriately named show-offs in there. Had a morning at home catching up on domestic stuff and worked out after lunch.I've been skipping straight through this week and 21 minutes this week feels easier than 5 sets of 100 did in Week 1. Whoodathotit?
Spent this evening at a Fairy  Princess/ Star Wars birthday party which was nice and relaxed, out on the lawn at sunset I had quite bad cravings for a cold beer though for really the first , or maybe 2nd time in the last 3 months. The party also contained the 2 staple momets of birthday partes since we started this- the moment when i decide to have mouthful of cake- (carrot this time) and the moment when everyone talks about how much weight I've lost. I admit i enjoyed them both. Though i do think quite often- God was i really so out of shape before? I think i must have been. 

Thats enough for now- off to eat eggs and some veggies-

Night all

Twice in 3 days?

Thought I'd blog again, just to see if I could. Enjoyed the workout today, managed 6-4-4-3-3-2  puuuulll uuuuupppps. These have really been eluding me and I think what has got me over the hump has been using the lat pull down machine in the gym for the past 2 or 3 weeks. Hoping to build on this and get up to 3x10 which would take me back to an university gym about 1991. I'm still giving dips a miss but did some ski-jumpers along with the other tricep stuff .  Managing some KF sit ups this week as well.

Diet was 80% today, I didn't have time for eggs this morning so through some cheese onto toast and am going into egg deficit big time today. and eyeballed lunch and dinner make this a bit too approximate. ...

Gym homework-is a bit difficult because there are only a handful of other people who this the gym at college, and everyone seems pretty committed. The really obvious thing is that nobody has made anything like the changes that the PCP has made on me- in fact there aren't any really noticable changes on anyone really.



Enjoy our last day off tomorrow.

Day 81

Been too slack to post a photo for a long time, here we go

Checking in

Still here, still going on the workouts and diet. I missed 2 days workouts last week but have been going on the skipping. Didn't really do the full indulgence- didn't deserve it with all the picking at this and that I\ve been doing. I did have a 25g bar of Cadbury's Dairy Milk- which is an old friend of mine- I probably used to have between 3 and 6 of them a week. I enjoyed all of it and could have eaten another one I'm sad to report. The interesting thing was the knock-on effect of the all the sugar. I ate the chocolate around 9pm and ended staying up til 2AM watching the Wire (an excellent show). This use to happen at least once or twice a week pre PCP. The end result was a useless, sleepy me the next day who didn't get all the stuff that I had planned done. I knew that chocolate wasn't really good for me physically , but I hadn't really made the connection to my day to day routine and productivity. So while certainly wont be giving up that Cadbury goodness completely I'll definitely be eating it a lot less and a bit more carefully.

Shoulder is quite @##ked , but workouts are going well but dips are not being done.

Thats all for now. We are preparing for arrival of our 3rd baby, who will be arriving in a couple of weeks - so a few more big changes on the way.
