Day Thirty Seven

Made it down to the yoga studio in Yokohama yesterday, which is always good motivation. Unfortunately, my stats flat-lined this week, so not much progress. Bit disappointed, but need to stay focused on the end goal. Previous PCPers tell me the big changes come in Week 9.

Still, you see that I have made a dent in the muffin top - so that is some progress




Still liking the new sets of exercises, side crunches is a new one on me, and finding really good on the obliques, which are one of my focus areas.

Today got in 23km around the Palace as probably the last training run before the Tokyo marathon which is coming up this Sunday. According to the Nike + app, this was 2,226 calories, so pretty good burn - but still going to do the PCP work-out today to make sure I stay.

Diet is still on track, though I am having to spread my dishes around, like a lot of PCPers, I have a tough time having exactly the right amounts at the designated times. So, am going with Patrick's suggestion of being a bit flexible inter-day, but not carrying stuff over between days.

Below is my evening vegetable snack 180g tofu with ginger (and a cup of tea)

  1. Dude, day to day, week to week numbers are not important, as long as you stick to the program...and every-body is different, you should not be targeting a specific day or week to see changes, just stick to the program and your shit will get tight...

    And the diet, both amounts and timing, have been developed by Patrick and Chen specifically for you/your body, so STICK TO THE PROGRAM GODDAMNIT!!!!!

  2. Pizza: you inspired my evening vege snack: tofu and fresh ginger - good call. Keep it up - see you next Saturday.

  3. Tofu and ginger is awesome - I am looking for a non-salt substitute for soya sauce. Tried mirin, but it doesn't taste quite right

  4. Peter, regardless of what the stats said, you are killing it. Keep it up and good luck with the marathon
