Day 78- but I'm not counting

So I know we have our final indulgence upon us, but of course, like the training message said, I'm having trouble figuring out what exactly I want to do his time. I'm definitely not as excited as I was for the other two. I think that I'd much prefer j... Read more

Fat Falling Off

Funny in my last post i wrote that I lost the fear of not losing 10kg, went to the gym and out of curiosity checked the scales. Dropped another 3kg, no coincidence that the minute I let that ideal go, it fell off. I don't think i've ever been this lea... Read more

Feeling Good

83.1kg 14.4kg fat (according to scales, don't know how it calculates this) Good to be feeling fit and healthy lately. Just went for 8km run along Bowen Rd with a friend and felt good. Think I'm benefitting from a bit of weight loss and increased f... Read more

Time Crunch

With the overall time of the workouts increasing I decided to break up the jumps and rest of the workout. I got up at 5:00 am and was successfully(rarely happens) able to sneak out of the house into the street for a super quiet jump session. Not one c... Read more

Day 78 - Beaten up but feeling great

You know that feeling after you workout, and it was a tough one but you feel great at the same time? That's how I feel right now after finishing my workout. Gosh that was hard to complete but I am happy I did it and love how when I jump I don't feel m... Read more

Day 78

So damn tired today..exercises were good but I did not get in my jumps this morning so did them few hours post workout and it killed me. First time I have ever felt exhausted after jumps. Maybe not getting enough sleep..again. Apart from that all g... Read more

Last indulgence done

I wasn't so keen on this indulgence, but am now happy we took it and it's over. Mike and I went to Grissini at the Grand Hyatt in HK which we'd never been to before and got full marks. Breathtaking view on a clear night, discreet service and perfectly... Read more

PCP Day 75 and Gym Report

Workout was a challenge. Seas are building, and the gym is up forward in what is known during heavy seas as the "anti-gravity room." To protect myself from injury, I did counter-weighted chest dips on the gravitron, using 40 up to 60 lbs. I was abl... Read more

A few more distractions during this afternoon's workout...but sometimes we have to just stop what we're doing, smile and enjoy the cute little things vying for some attention. Kung Fu sit ups can wait just a little bit longer.... Read more

Okay, it's almost ten and I'm just about to do my workout. That, in mommy land, is dawn of the dead time. This flu was dumb and a following cold but it did force me to put PCP in perspective. 1) I miss my vices, I have so few at this juncture in my li... Read more

Consistency, too right!

Today's message meant total sense to me... I noticed at the beginning of the programme that it was the consistent nature of it all ( espec exercise) that seemed to be having the best effect. Long business trips, and the associated stress and jet lag a... Read more

I like the timed jumps, but I can't stop counting! I tried to not count, but once I got in the groove, I was thinking 67, 68, 69 ... I love the Standing Ovations. It feels like I'm giving myself a massage between my bones and my muscles on my back.... Read more

Not a good day

I have been short on sleep for the last couple of days (it's tough to work around having to get up at 5:00 a.m.). My skipping fell apart with the introduction of the new "system" and has become a daily source of frustration. At this rate I am getting ... Read more
