Yesterday marks the 1/3 way mark through the PCP program. My last post I mentioned that my weight had been stable for the last week and a bit, that changed in the last few days, and at one point was down in the 86.x ... which was a surprise. Since then though been fairly consistent in the lower 87.x's which realistically isn't too far away from my goal of being stable at around 85kg. Wondering what the change was. The dinner diet being just a banana, apple, 2 egg whites and 300 mls of milk (as little as it sounds) actually doesn't bother me, easy to prepare, saves me time and is easy to eat, and switching night snack from fruit to vegetables is good as well. Avocado guacamole, and raw veggie sticks / cabbage. All stuff I love, and simple to prepare.
Been having a real hard time trying to do my workouts in the morning still. They are also starting to drag on a bit longer and approaching the 1 hour mark on certain days. Managed to hit my best count today before tripping up, and that was due to a shoe lace. See if I can hit the full 1350 without stopping tomorrow.
Had a long awaited delivery yesterday as well. Some decent resistance bands. Used them today and it made a difference. No more wrapping the band around my fee and almost doing the splits to get the right tension. Now I just need to get to know what workout needs which bands, should be able to really push now of these workouts - the only one really still not working out if the pull ups. Thinking that the bar I got would be fine for someone a lot smaller than me, or for doing curl pull ups, but with my shoulder span and lank long arms its impossible to do those movements within the constrains of a door frame. Unfortunately my doors are not normal and wont let me use one of the door frame mountable contraptions. I'm fairly good when it comes to working out these things, but I cant think of any way to do these at home without some major wood work, so the dinning table continues to be the location for the pullups, and I see that starting to bow a little in the middle as well...somethings telling me I am not meant to do these!
Uploaded my new pictures today. While I don't think they visibly look to different from previous ones, I am noticing more definition forming as the blob around my waist slowly melts away! And have really noticed the hips don't overflow half as much as out of my pants now as they did just a month ago. really looking forward to day 90 to see how things turn out. But if I don't hit my news year resolution and have a 6 pack, might need to continue on to get to a point where i can get to and maintain good shape before I drop my guard!
Looking good man, the small changes will add up and the Day 1 / Day 90 comparison will be surprising!
