It's all very confusing starting from the exercises mid PCP and trying to work out which day is which. Especially as I'm not doing the full programme, pretty much consistently doing 4 days a week for past 3 weeks. Diet and booze has still been the downfall though, fair to say if I was at least compliant there I'd be seeing results. So last week, I think I mentioned I had a client in town on Wednesday night, well that turned into Tuesday morning, I got home at 6am, woke Sam up, annoyed Mandy no end, got up at 7:30 to take the kids to school.....pissed. Mandy actually punched me, but I was drunk so it didn't hurt. I then went back to bed at 10am. It was actually a bank holiday for me (Tokyo holiday) so we kinda had plans... which was ruined, so I was the worst person in the world. But only for a couple of days because I also mentioned picnic in the park. Hong Kong's answer to Glastonbury. Nice day out, stage with loads of local acts, some good, some bad, mostly bad but it didn't matter. Scorching hot so the wine and beer were flowing fast. I had to pretty much carry Mandy home at 7:30, she couldn't even put her shoes on, and they were flip flops (that's thongs to my reading audience). She was pathetic, in bed before the kids. Talking of the kids, I have no idea how we didn't lose them, 6,500 people there, we should be reported to social services! So anyway honours even between her and I now. I put the kids to bed then went back to the concert, and when that finished to the pub as the bands were then playing in the local plaza, not sure what time I got home but was late. Sunday was a write off, well from Wednesday onwards really.
This week, I plan on doing it 100%, I have nothing in the diary apart from Sam's birthday party on Sunday, I'll switch skipping for the elliptical trainer but otherwise 100% as the routine. I've set myself a target of 3kg weight loss between yesterday morning and next Thursday morning when we travel to Singapore. I'm actually interested to see how it pans out not only because I want/need to lose it, but to test Patrick's theory of muscle memory etc and how quickly your body responds. I think push ups are a good measure of ones fitness as there's no hiding, and on that point I fallen quite dramatically. Yesterday was supposed to be 4 x 12, I manages 10/5/5/3, I forgot to go onto my knees, ahem! But on other exercises I think I'm still OK, probably just blind, or using less weight than I was before.
I think that's it, there's probably more but I've forgotten it in my drunken haze. Oh talking of which, check out my colleague in the office last Friday morning, did some shots of a drink called Stroh 80% proof. quite spectacular results.

Do you guys do any work in your office? That was an impressive series of work videos on a Friday morning no less. What did he say when he saw them?
ReplyDeleteNow if you had the video of Mandy punching you.... :-)
Good luck this week.
Not a lot truth be told. Financial markets are finished as we know it I think.
ReplyDeleteAching like anything now, I remember this pain
I know nothing about the financial world.. am a humble small business owner/software engineer.
ReplyDeleteAching from the punching or from the workout?
