I had a good break in Portugal and managed to keep up with the exercises. The food was fine as we ate at home a lot of the time. When we did go out for dinner I stuck to veg and grilled fish so I'm not too concerned that I wasn't completely compliant, under the circumstances I think I did pretty well. A few glasses of wine wouldn't have gone a miss but I managed to abstain and actually had a few non-alcoholic beers which were a revelation - made me feel part of the group, as opposed to the boring proabitionist! One of my mates has starting to call me 'Bobby', as in 'fun-time Bobby' from Friends. He says I used to be fun but as I'm not anymore, I just get 'Bobby'.
One area of concern is the complete collapse of my body. Both knees are starting to give me grief, the shoulder is sore, and the right calf is feeling the strain. I guess 11 weeks of exercising every day will do this to you. I'm determined that these ailments won't stop me from finishing PCP, so I'm strapping everything up and now look something akin to an Egyptian mummy.
It looks as if everybody are doing really well and it's great to read all the blogs.
mate, take good care in the last couple weeks--will be the hardest yet with exercises and intensity but you clearly have the will so keep up steady, hard work.
ReplyDeletei was just commenting to my friends too in self wonderment at having worked out EVERY day now for 72 days in a row. the closest i've ever been to that is 5 day a week training when in high school playing on sports teams. and that was LONG ago.
not sure what the routine will be post PCP but can easily imagine that 4-5x week will seem like a breeze.
keep up the good work down the home stretch, buddy!!
Nice job working through it, Adam. Only 2 weeks to go, so stay strong and rest well...the finish line is in sight!
ReplyDeleteThe home stretch! There's no face to the improving torso in your photostream. How do we know it's really you???
