Final Post

The 90 days of PCP were very tough and worth every dime. I began this ordeal at 100 kilos and with a 36" waist. I am now 90 kilos with a little less than a 34" waist.  I can see my abs! Awesome. My muscles are not necessarily bigger but they are visible. My biceps are larger and many more veins can be seen. My thighs are horrifically large and the definition much more pronounced. All in all, I sleep better, look better, and feel much much better. Headaches are a thing of the past. And in a relatively short 90 days. PCP rocks!

Day 89/90 Last Pics Uploaded

We are at an end to the Peak Condition Project and I am stoked with the results. I was highly skeptical the entire time of what the end result believing my abs would never be visual. They may not be perfect but at least now I know it is possible. I am ready to start a new balanced life so this really never ends. I am looking forward to being more social and becoming less of a hermit but the jump ropes/exercises and the diet are going to stay. I will most likely only exercise 4-5 days/week and will allow myself an indulgence per week. This has been great and it was the best money I have spent in years if not ever. I am trying to convince a few others to try it out. Now I need to decide if I want to to Kung Fu Body or not.....

Day 81-New pics uploaded

Only 9 more days but as most fellow PCPers I have spoken with after 9 days it is not really over as I am certain my habits have changed. What Patrick said about wanting more from your body and once you see results you want more is very true for me. I can see some semblance of my abs for the first time in my life and I admit that I like it. Call me vain but I do not cringe when I look in the mirror...ok maybe a little bit......and then a bit more when I see my mug...not really. I think I look fairly good. Lots of compliments from friends and there are a few people jumping rope in the gym who never did before. Just under 90 kilos now and have been fairly stable here. I would like to lose some more fat but I am more than content. My muscles are larger and less concentrated on one muscle group and more total physique which is great. My two favorite exercises are also my least favorite; pull ups and planks. Both are so tough but I can really feel the isolated muscle burns. When we started this I struggled to do 3 pull ups and now I can muster about 8...ok 7 and a half. I can see my lats a bit now but I realize I need to do more pull ups to get my back to where I want it to be. I will post new pics and you can see how useless and muscle free my back is. But I can definitely see how pull ups will assist this. Food is no problem at all. I do not crave junk food but I do miss an occasional burger or pizza...and Indian food...and chocolate. The PCP breakfast is here to stay. I will not change this and I actually look forward to this meal every day. I may be waking up 10 minutes earlier but it is 100% worth it. Lunch I suspect I will bring in a few days but I do miss going out with some of my colleagues. Which really is the most difficult thing about finding a new balance. Most socializing involves drinking and staying out late. I will need to cater to my social life a bit more though as it has been lacking. Dinner is small and low on the carbs and I can live with that no problem. Steamed veggies are the new norm. Ok now to upload those pics.
