Even for a stubborn curmudgeon like myself who's been working out "his way" for years, I've really taken a liking to some of the new exercises introduced to us throughout the course of PCP. Specifically, the Lunges, V-Sits and Plank are three I plan to continue and make a permanent part of my workout. While there's always much attention on "six-pack abs"by many in the gym, I realize how important the entire CORE is to one's well-being, especially keeping the lower-back and muscles around the vertabrae strong.
Was out last night for the first time in a while - bunch of friends and clients watching the All Blacks vs. Japan rugby match. I've taken small pride in the fact that I haven't touched a beer during the past 10-weeks so wanted to keep the trend alive and contented myself with two tonic waters with lime. Lots of comments from guys I haven't seen in a while, "Man, have you lost a lot of weight or something?"... or "Wow, you're looking pretty buff." Funny word, buff, sort of makes you feel like you're in a cartoon.
after the match we had some Thai food. tasted good when I was eating it but realized just how salty it was (or how sensitive the palatte has gotten to excess salt) after I got home. Woke up at 3am and needed to brush my teeth again and guzzle half a liter of water.
Off to eat Yumi's healthy breakfast (below)... On a funny note, a couple nights ago I got back from the gym and saw what looked like three min-hamburgers on the dinner plate. was pretty psyched as I really haven't eaten much red-meat at all the past 10 weeks. Took one bite to discover that they were really Iwashi (sardine) burgers that looked like chop-meat. What a buzz-kill...healthy maybe, but wouldn't advocate that to those at home... Weekend is here, enjoy your sessions guys. -Rob
