Its getting closer and closer to the end.....and I am not quite ready to give this up...the no drinking yes, but the good food and excercise not quite yet.....Did 5x7mins skips last night....finding it easier and easier and more and more enjoyable......it kinda reminds me of running or hiking, it helps me relax and gather my thoughts....As its the last 12 days I have gone all gang bust (I am sure Patrick is not going to approve), so I skipped, hiked and then got home to do my excercises....Only I did more that what we had alotted and at 20.30 when I was done I was totally shattered...slept very very well thou....
Also not sure I want any carbs for dinner.....I know we have some allowed but I quite frankly dont seem to need them nor seem towant them.....dinner last night was 2 egg whites and some veg...Aiming to finish this PCP in style........have a break and then carry on...
Ah, I'm thinking of an ANTI PCP BBQ for the 29th with plenty of steaks and burgers and sausages!!!
Gonna borrow a friends roof top and you are all wellcome to come along...if you live or are visiting HK that week end...

Day 77 - last 2 weeks...
Well, I have to put my hand up and admit that after a late night on sat night I failed to do my sets on sunday....so I had to od them last night instead....So I did my 7x3 skips, and for missing the work out the day before I added another 7mins...it got hard but not as hard as doing 1000 skips all those months ago....clearly I am now used to it hehe....
Its quite funny how at the beginning of this saga I was counting the days up, x days without booze and stuff like that....after 2 months instead of counting up I started counting down and as the "end" date gets closer I feel I have not done enough and that time is running out too fast.....I almost wish we had 1 month left....but I guess this is what will motivate me not to give upo the PCP lifestyle, but to adapt it to include some wine indulgence... Also because I am not sure I can go back to what I used to eat...even if I thought it was fairly healthy...
I am gpoing to go and buy a new set of harder rubber bands to make my last few weeks work out more challenging....after all its only a short while then we can chillax...
Ah..yes Pictures.....will upload some laterr today....

Day 70 - I see that crafty extra minute on the skips!!!
Another week ends and harder one starts........Finding the skips a real pleasure now, so was quite happy to have that extra minute.....and makes me think back at day one when 250 skips felt like a major work out, hahahaha....I know that day 70 is meant to be skips only, and i know from Patricks video (now i know i mean) that I should not be doing extra sets or extra work out...but I did it anyway...did some back, abs and shoulders...feel like i've been kicked in the back and chest over night....but remarcably i feel good for it...
I have noticed that I am less hungry every week....so the all you can eat veg is pretty much about 150 gr...so I know the option is there I just dont seem to need it....but i ma having all other meals/snacks and still manage to hike, run, dive, play footy.....so I would guess I am still burning that excess fat...well, I am sure Patrick will let me know or tell me off, or both hahahaha.
Today gonna hit the gym for the first time in ages and I will see if I am actually any stronger than the last time I went (about 2months ago)....I sure hope I am....
Tonight I will get some pics up I promise...and Giles, yeah i knwo about the timer...just not sure when the damn camera is after my Thai trip......it may well still be in thailand.....I sure hope not damn it!!!
I see I get more food this week...i guess I will force feed myself...
Uh, please make the indulgence this week end!! pretty please!!!! I have a huge partay to attend....and I was not going to till I heard the magical words of indulgence.....

Day 69 - Long time no blog....
Hello All.....Back from Thailand and back in smoggy and polluted HK....
I tried to be as PCP as possible in thailand....but I did have a few days when i had a drink and i missed my work outs...I know...very very bad...but in my defense i was diving up to 3 times a day and sometimes more than thata....and all of them pretty deep....30+m....and at least 45 mins......so I was pretty sdhattered by the time I make my way back to my room...
Now, from reading otehr blogs I see not much point in typing a 5 page essay on what i did, did not do, could have, should have etc.... I think in total i missed 3 dayys of excercise, and drank 2 days...end of....
Rope skipping...I remember telling James Young a month ago that the skipping would never be part of my fitness regime as i found too boring.....we I am now a believer.....might be the fact that I am no longer counting or the fact that i have been doing it for so long now, but I seem to have soo much fun skipping now, esp trying new tricks and moves.....the otehr day I had a little audience by me...Ok they were all about 3 years old....but still....
Ok I am now 73 kg....I have never been 73 kg....in fact I am sure I was born at 74 kgs....(i was a big baby)....well, 20 days left....but really, a part from the drinking i am happy to live with the PCP regime...
Okie, might write mroe later...Ah, also sorry, need to update some pics too.....its just weird to ask a friend to come over to take some pics of you in your shorts....some might even say a bit gay....

Day 58. Koh Tao -thailand
It's not too easy to find a wifi that works And when I do find it I do not have the iPad with me. Also hard to make people understand that, yes, I Want bland food with no salt or coconut cream, and yes I want my veggies boiled not stir fried....still, I'm coping, just!!
Exercises are going ok, hard to find a pull up bar, but i might be able to find something soon....
Diving 3 times a day should burn off any excess salt/carbs I eat by mistake as it's really odd to turn up in a restaurant with tourism scales.
Have fun this week, I'll try together online again later in the week

day 52 - Kung Fu sit ups my *ss!!!
Ok, I am either a giant or HK outdoor parks are biult for very short people....prob both....
there is no way I can do the kung fu sit ups at home....my ceiling is simply not high enough......once I stretch my arms my knees are hitting the floor......I gave it a go but the only way for it to work is a cross between a pull up and a sit up, and there is no way I could muster that after the workout yesterday...so I went to the park, and guess what?? Same problem,...so I need a solution...and I guess the gym has to be the answer....but its a pain to make my way to the gym after the excercises in the park, but I guess im gonna have to find a way....
I bought a super hard resistance band last week and starting to use for all excercises...and my arms hurt today....and my legs, and my back.....
Achievement of the week has been to be able to do tricks whilst skipping..the ol' arm crossing and uncrossing....kinda makes it more interesting...
Off to Thailand this week end......there is no way I will find yogurt there so Im hoping milk will do...
