Day 82

Today was a tough one.. funny how sometimes you it just doesn't work!
The skipping was difficult, kept on tripping.. struggled to finish...
Exercises somewhat better and conquering the 1'45" planks was an achievement.
Hoping for better days ahead.
So much food: in the morning it's a challenge to finish the heap of food on my plate, racing against time not to miss the bus!

good day to all...

BTW when is the PCP technically over? after the last snack of day 90? after the exercises of day 90? when do we pop that long awaited cork?

Day 81

And another skipping rope snapped!!
Gotta go find a good one, with weights.. any suggestions?
Exercises were fine today, no mega nasty ones... :)

9 days to go: c'mon boys and girls... almost there!!

Day 80

5:30 alarm clock
stumbling about the flat looking for a banana, trying not to trip on the dog.
25 mins skipping and then the exercises: it's official, the cycling things are the WORST of all.
the training is intense and feel worn out.. 9 more sessions to go.
(but strangely enough looking forward to my training tomorrow)
and the food is sooo much! missed my bus because of the huge size of my breakfast.
important not to become complacent: so much effort so far, the goal is in reach.
great week to all...

Day 79

What a weekend: I think humans are designed to function above 22 degrees and in the sunshine!!!
Sailing, spending the day in the sun, hockey with the boys... it's so invigorating!!
Slept on the boat, had breakfast (fried for the boys PCP for me!) and now preparing for tennis and sailing!!
Did my exercises in the sun: felt great!

Here are a few snaps from the weekend...

Good morning Hong Kong

 

Athos, Porthos and Aramis, missing D'Artagnan

Day 78 bis

Had my indulgence, and what an indulgence: the best!
BBQ at Middle Island with my boys and dear friends, and yes... Missing wife and Mika!
What a feast!! Sausages, spare ribs, tandoori chicken, garlic bread... Hagen daas Belgian chocolate all accompanied by a decent amount of rose'. Thought I would be sick but so far so good: thoroughly enjoyed it!! Better than a 3 star Michelin, definitely, by far!
Now lying in bed on Brizo, moored at Middle Island!
But gotta sweat it out: looking forward to the training tomorrow!
Hong KOng is amazing: skyscrapers and sailing over the weekend!
Today the weather was perfect, it was a perfect day: wife, when are u coming back home!!
Time to sleep (and digest!)

Good night to all!!

Day 78

Again weekend, again fun exercising... except for those nasty floor jumps!

then off to hockey with thte boys and this afternoon.. SAILING!!!
Think my indulgence is going to be a massive BBQ+rose'+ice cream this evening, will report tomorrow!

The weather here is AWESOME, HK at its best... only two things missing, the wife and no 4!!

Was worried about the exercises given the earlier warnings but all in all they are in line with last week's.

have a great weekend

Day 77

5:30 wake up, 30 mins skipping.. time to take No 1 and No 2 to bus, with the help of No 3 (dressed in a funny way.. April's fool!!) and the little puppy!
And it is a GORGEOUS day here in Hong Kong: fingers crossed it holds for the week end: kid's hokey and maybe sailing, and of course INDULGENCE!!
Pity the wife is away.. :(

great weekend to all!
