Day 17

I am finally getting into a routine now which makes this new lifestyle a lot easier: not to mention, it should help make some permanent changes. I am getting up at 5am, walking my dogs, and then exercising right through.  Breakfast was not too bad: used pre-prepared veges: bit of a colour wheel using up the remnants of veges I needed to use up. Egg and toast and veges: easy-peasy.

Workout was great: I was not organised enough to do the pull ups proper - so kept to the incline pull up (x4 sets).  Feel sore all over but a good feeling.  Last night had a long bath before going to bed (very Japanese style) and felt amazing this morning - a lot more fluid and less stiff. Might make it a routine.

Food going good. This will sound dumb but I bought my first pineapple (in my life) on the weekend. Asked a friend (chef) how to cut it up. I have, put large blocks in a container - and I am having some of it now as a snack for the morning. Who knew..

All going good. Sore all over as I sit at my desk although it is a feeling of achieving something. It is too early to really see results but if aching were one of them - I've achieved that one.

Onwards and upwards team.  Rich

    No it doesn't dude. It sounds like en route to PCP building you a kickass new body, it is opening your eyes to what's out there and what you've been missing. Your posts are great and it sounds like you're rocking the whole regimen. It ain't easy but keep up the good work Richard!

  3. Rich, as always, good post and great food ideas. Thanks for always posting pics of the dishes you make. Keep at the jump-rope...we'll get there. I already feel like it's night and day vs. the first couple of days. Maybe go back and read some of your earlier posts and compare how it is now. I know that makes me feel better about my progress so far on the harder aspects, such as the jumping.

  5. I saw Richard at the bar on Friday. I tried my best but could not get him to take a beer! Nice Work mate, great to see you sticking to it!

    Try stretching for a few minutes before and after each work out. Helps relieve the soreness.
