It's a beauty way to go eh!
Left for holidays in Canada on 26th... Got the day 56 session in before getting on the plane.. Waiting for the wife and rug rat to get ready... With the time zone change we landed in TO on the 26th and I redid session56 cuz I knew the first two days my diet may be a bit off.
With jet lago I've managed to still get up around 6ish to do sessions 57-58 in the hotel gym... Before doing family stuff, going to Toronto island with the kid... Hopefully worked off some of the extra calories I've had since taking of to the Great White North... Havent been to off on the food... Managed to keep close to the diet, with the yogurt and the vegies from 7/11, but dropping 19cdn dollars on an egg white omlette at the hotel is a bit too much to swallow...
Weathers assume and im hoping to do a majority of the PCP sessions in the fresh cdn air over the next 10days...
Sorry Marcus... Fight sessions are going to have to wait till I get back to HK...

Indulgence night at X
An indulgence this week was definately needed... tired of eggs and apples... A plate of X's roast pork, German sausages, and yes there were some vegi's somewhere on the plate. Horsht's food was amazing as usual. It hit the spot, but my stomach was a bit stretched, after getting use to proper healthy sized portions of food. Luckily its about 45min door to door to my Tokyo flat from Roppongi, which gave the food time to partially settle.... because the guilt of the food hit and I did my Day 50 training session when I got to the flat
Beautiful evening for a run, so I skipped the skipping.... and went for around a 8km run and worked in the pistols and the jumping into the run... Weather was fantastic with a light drizzle from the tail end of the typhoon....
Felt a lot better about going to X after I finished the session....
Patrick I'd like to put in a request for another indulgence in about a week and a half, cuz I'll be on holidays in Canada, its been 2yrs... and I need a fix from my favorite Mexican restaurant when I'm there....

Day 49 - Skipping Rope in Mumbai
Off the plane and to the hotel at 2am... Was up for a 6:30am skip session in the hotel room.... Thank god it was day 49 and I didn't have to figure out how or where to hook up the resistance bands.... Didn't get security banging on my door so guess no one heard.
Had to deal with airplane food ... but managed to skip the rice and bread in the meal and just have the meat vegis and fruit... Airplanes... not PCP compliant!!!
Airplane lounge not PCP compliant either... though I had it made... some white stuff with apples in it... no thats not yogurt... MAYO!
Breakfast ... got everything al la carte... don't thing the yogurt was low fat though...
Indulgence day!... and Im in Tokyo.... Yeah... XBar here I come. Half portion then an extra lap around the palace the next day at lunch... get that pleasure and pain thing going...

Day 44 - Mp3 players ... Best training apartner
Team mighty mouse... For those of you fighting to push through the workouts... Music, that is to say the right music, has scientifically been proven to help the body with physical exertion, and listening to the same music that you listen to during a workout is suppose to raise your matabolism. At least that's what I've read somewhere...
Anyway it helps with my workouts... As Marcus will contest to I'm pretty antisocial when training in the gym (don't talk much outside the gym either). I get in put the head phones on blast the music (cuz music in most gyms tends to be the wrong tempo to get you training at the appropriate heart rate. A gym Marcus an I use to train at in TKy... Use to have stuff like Jewel and Celine Dion playing. I'll just say ...not the right tempo for a gym) to and "blast" through the workout...
Ranting on gym music aside, thought I'd kick off some trading of mp3 player song lists for working out (sorry I'm a bit of an alternative rock/metal head, but the idea is to have up tempo music to help keep the heart rate up... Along side the short 20sec rests between sets that Patrick has implemented):
training list (on shuffle):
Marilyn Manson - if I was your vampire
The Offspring - gone away
The Offspring - genocide
The Offspring - not the one
Iron Maiden - can I play with madness
The Cult - she sells sanctuary
The Cult - Heart and Soul
The Black Crowes - kickin' my heart around
Iron Maiden - flash of the blade
The Black Crowes - hard to handle
The Black Crowes - go faster
Iron maiden - sea of madness
Iron maiden - Revelations...
I tone it done for stretching at the end of the workout...just a bit...
Please send through any play lists you use... Someone else will have similar tastes in music.
Now anyone have ideas on how to get through these mundain egg and apple dinners?

Day 43 - kicking it up a notch
Light rain in the morning made the air a bit "fresher" than usual on my run into the gym in IfC for PCP session 43. cut about 3 min off my run in time...
Feeling almost back to 100percent following my train wreck last thursday.
Evening meals have been the most difficult to deal with ... Kinda boring and not much to work with.. Lunches are better... Can at least experiment with prepping food a couple time a week..
train hard everyone! Gannbare!

Got back into my regular morning session before work at 5:30am
- 20min run into the office.
- PCP session 41....
Breakfast...
Got my energy back after getting some regular sleep on the weekend. my dress pants are getting way too loose but holding off on any adjustments till the end of the program.
Pistols method 2 - just another way to do pistols... Got from my fight trainer...
- at home find a stool, a bit lower than a chair.
- start seated on the stool.
- one leg out in front like the pistols in the daily session cards.
- start with arms out in front.
- stand up on the leg not extended, while moving your out stretched arms down to your waist.
- sit down slow... And repeat...
Good burn and and balance training

Day 38 - Wolverine or GSP
Similar to Justin I had a toss-up between a comic book character and a real athelete. Mine was Wolverine vs GSP. Huge fan of the wolverine character way before the movie came out... GSP won ... Similar height and in non-competition times he floats around +190-pounds and drops to under 180 for competitions...
Getting down to around 83kgs (at least I was before my train wreck on Thursday) from my start of about 91kg or so.... getting results... just got to keep on the rails for the rest of the program.
New lunch recipe: Same magazine... Salmon with Asparagus and Brown Rice..
- Haven't tried this one yet....
- 8oz Salmon
-2oz asparagus
-1oz Carrots (sliced)
-1.5 cups brown rice (which will get you through about 2 meals)
1tbs shallots
- Boil brown rice (2:1 water to rice).
-Pepper on the salmon... hot pan face down for 2 minutes... flip... put in oven for 10 minutes (if you have an oven... if not let simmer covered).
- Saute carrots and asparagus in about 1 tbsp of olive oil...
- brown rice on plate top with salmon and the vegis....
Let me know if anyone tries this out!

Day 37 - Recipe for 1 Apple, 250ml milk and 2 egg whites.
Add 2 parts mini burger... 6 red hot chicken wings... a case of beers and let simmer for 5 minutes.
A mate had his saiyonara party last night at Wagyu in Soho... And... Did someone catch the number of that bus????? I kinda deviated from the program for dinner last night.
Not a great result... missed my morning run and training session, and feeling a bit slow at the moment.
I'm back on the program now and will push through the training session this afternoon or evening....

Just thought I'd share a recipe that popped up in a magazine Marcus introduced me to call Train Hard Fight Easy (for the fighters on the program)... I'm not a fan of capers... but I think its a recipe that fits into many of our lunch programs

1 cup brown rice...
-3oz broccoli
- 1oz garlic
- 1oz shallots
- 1oz olive oil... (can probably be cut back)
From the pics (1) cook chicken first; and make the brown rice(2) chuck in the mushroom, whole Lemon peal and all cut into about 4 pieces; (3) boil/steam broccoli; (4) rice on the plate... put chicken on top along with the broccoli, zoomers, lemon etc.
