Rocky 2 - Training


This should help with early morning motivation!!

Day 23

What started like a gentle stroll up a hill is starting to look like a intense hike, almost intense.
Feels as if it will end looking like a rock climb... OUCH!

But at least it's Sunday and all exercises are done and dusted!

Day 22 bis

It's evening, we are sitting in front of the TV and the boys are having Pizza Takeaway.... I had to open the box and serve the slices: Torture!!
The smell of the Pizza and of the accompanying garlic bread got me drooling, sigh!
The more profound question is if I will be able to enjoy Pizza i front of a movie once the PCP is over, or will that mean back on the road to perdition?

Our dinner was really not exciting: difficult to see the carbs disappear.
Feeling a little miserable and a bit hungry: contemplating the possibility of biting my kids, it's proteins after all!!!

Day 22

Morning shocker: could not believe the email.. no respite on the jumping rope!
And what happened to the evening carbs? surely  typo :-(

Early start: at 8:00 83.333% of the family was on the tennis court (Mika, number 4, stayed at home).
We took it in turns to play with the kids so that me and the wife managed to get the skips sorted: my calves are in AGONY!
Got home and finished off the programme: HATE the pull-ups. Only managed 7-7-5-5(ish)
But now it's over: bright day ahead!


And of course here is the weekly picture:

Day 21

Took the morning off: it is New Year after all! but will have to pop into office later on today..
Mornings are great when not working: did my 1,000 skips (possibly 1,100 as i might have counted wrong!!) then shower, playground for a little while and then breakfast with the wife. Nice to have the whole day ahead and no damocles sword of exercises to have to be done!!

Dinner last night was all in all good: no alcohol, maybe a little too much food (and a little too much condiment) but was righteous!
Had one spoonful, literally, of dessert.. god it tasted good, more of that in 70 days!!

Day 19

Starting almost to feel like a routine: back from work, skip, exercise, dinner...
If only I could do it in the morning!! but it is the only time i see the little ones...
First dinner out this evening at frinds place: we'll see how hard it is going to be, best intentions though!

Struggling on the pull-ups, but almost there!

Day 18

Getting rather hungry and it is a struggle to resist until snack/meal time
My boys were eating salami and toast under my nose: not easy, AT ALL
Feeling alittle tired but wondering if it is due to the heavy w.e or it's PCP

But really enjoying PCP and finding Patrick's mails very inforamtive!
