Day 11-12: Energy level remain nice and high

I spent the morning of Day 11 out on a run of the "Twins" with a friend of mine who completed the Jan-Mar PCP session. He had fantastic results, and was part of my motivation to join this session. And he maintaining the Peak condition he hit by the end of the PCP session with very little bounce back.

With the 1.5hr trail run, 1000-plus stairs involved... great day for a run... I rolled Day 11 training into today's session. I'll post a shot I took at the top of one of the peaks, when this troglodyte figures out how to do that kind of techi stuff... This program is the first time I've ever used any social networking sites... takes a bit of getting use to

Day 10 - Made it thruogh an evening out with collegues with out any booze!

- Havent done that since training for my brown belt test in 1995.

Day 9 - Energy levels picking up

Moved through the workout first thing this morning. Abs are my weakest exercise at the moment. Haven't had any issues with my energy levels with the change in diet. Actually my energy level has picked up. At lunch I did a fight session today with my trainer and was less worn out than usual. The trainer really likes pounding me into the ground ... good session.

Day 8 - PCP kicks off

Got my workout done first thing in the morning. Glad Patrick sent out the training guides last night.
- I didnt have any food prepped, as I'm in my last and final day at a service apt, so I had to go in search of food for breakfast, but managed to keep to the menu standards.
- Still a bit peckish from time to time during the day but the fruit snack definately helped pick me up, especially the afternoon one.

Day 7 - A little lighter, and feeling a little healthier

Almost through week one. I finished the Day 7 workout before heading into work.

It was difficult cutting back on eating, but:
- I havent had any alcohol since Thursday.
- Haven't bought any junk food since th program started.

Its still difficult after dinner... Still feel hungry... but making it through

Day 6 - Made it through grocery shopping

After landing in HK, ended up working out just before dinner. Going to the grocery store hungry isnt a good idea... but made it through without buying any chips, chocolate , cookies or any other junk food.

Day 5 - the day after...

Spent the day packing up my flat in Tokyo for my move to HK... Got to the workout in the the afternoon after a 6km run... I'm going miss running around Kasai Rinkai Koen...

My daughter was hassling my wife as to why I can jump rope in the house and she can't... So being the good Dad that I am ...  I let her skip on my yoga mat in the house after I was done the work out... made her mom real happy!!!! (not)

Weighed in after the workout... probably not the best time to do it... but... those extra ounces of water weight off make me feel better. Sub 90kg... by 400 grams... Hungry mostly after dinner... drinking water to compensate.

Marcus(Brudda) you love this... Just downloaded a new Georges St Pierre (4yrs of documented training) call the Striking Truth....
