Seriously?! Only 1 week to go on the PCP? What the hell am I going to do without Patrick feeding me my weekly diet and exercise plan? Scary stuff...probably quite similar to how a convict feels just before being paroled.
I'm also super annoyed right now because I wanted to really kill the last 2 weeks of PCP, but then got knocked off schedule again by - you guessed it - work. Just signed a deal, though, so now in the clear to really knock out the final week and get some momentum going before Patrick releases me back into the wild.

DAY 76 - 2 weeks left
I'm definitely having mixed feelings as we approach the end of the PCP. I know I've made progress since we started and can't wait to get my life back, but I also know that my work schedule knocked me off the diet/exercise routine enough times that I'm not going to get the real knock-out results that I was hoping for. I guess that means I'll be enrolling in Kung Fu Body or something to try and take my progress to the next level (after a brief rest, of course)....but more importantly I've also realized that being healthy and fit is important to me and that not only is my current job not conducive to that lifestyle but actually a major impediment to achieving and maintaining it. Which means I've also decided that it's time to find a job/career that will allow me to get and stay healthy and just have time to enjoy life on a daily basis and not only in brief bursts of vacation a few times a year. Don't tell my boss.
Only 2 weeks left everyone - stay strong and let's finish the PCP with a bang!

DAY 66 - Post-indulgence
Sorry for no update recently - once again getting buried at work. Missed a few days of workouts as a result, but still sticking to the diet apart from my one day of indulgence.
The indulgence was interesting. My wife's former boss from Tokyo was in town and had us over for a cookout at his house. While I didn't hold back on eating any of the foods on offer, I did notice that I ate less portion-wise than I would have previously and also ate a much higher ratio of veggies to meat. It was all so delicious though - grilled veggies, flank steak, chicken, refried beans, spanish rice, monkey bread and a couple of beers to wash it down. Also had a fresh crepe with strawberries, chocolate sauce and crema fresca on top for dessert, which I normally would not have eaten (not a big sweets guy) but felt like I had to in order to get the most out of my indulgence. Anyway, nothing really tasted or felt any differently than I remember, although it did sit in my stomach like a rock for the rest of the day as opposed to the PCP meals which seem to pass right through.
Ready for the final push. Have to lose this damn visceral fat!
