I steamed some up last night and kept some left over for today. I actually felt like them which was a surprise and they were nice.. Oh lord.. what is happening to me (but all good yes?).
I am adding a photo here of how they grow: who knew.
I know I need more green for breakfast: most vegetables I have in the morning are tomato or mushrooms. Beyond that is difficult.. slowely but surely.
Up early and got my skips done and then the routine. All good and enjoyed them. Not perfect - still tripping up. Left knee still hurts although squats and the crawl were fine. I am now building muscles on my legs that I never thought possible.
Back is feeling like it is bulging (in my mind only I am sure) and shoulders are sore. No real big changes but I am sure gradually looking better. Just happy there are 57 more days left for me to work out to get results as no where near where I want to be.
I think this second month is called the 'grunt work month' of the program. The first month was the preparation but now it is tough but good. I am guessing combined together provides for a nice last month of tuning.. (possibly wrong - last month could be the real workout.. who knows..).
All good - onward and upward.
Just an additional sidenote. Back from lunch with an ex-colleague / friend who was blown away by the change they noticed in me thanks to PCP. I had not seen this person since starting PCP.
I found my self qualifiying the compliments with a "it's is only day 32 of the 90 day program"; combined with "no really, shucks, oh stop-it, OK, say it again...".
Comments I received were 'skin is glowing' 'look super healthy' and not jaundiced which is what he imagined and that I could be the 'poster-boy for health change programs'. We have to keep in mind I also quit smoking but overall nice to get the compliments. Either way - lots of interest in the program: involvement too in that this friend chose an organic sashimi/sushi restaurant. I kept to my gram intake and ate well (saying no to dessert) drinking green tea.
Either way - it is only day 32 so look forward (again) of me at Day 50 and of course Day 90.
mate very impressive - keep it up! I am going to have to try v hard next week to get fully back on track
ReplyDeleteRichard - great job. I can "read" the confidence and enthusiasm in your words...it's inspiring.
ReplyDeletelove brussels sprouts. try roasting them sometime!
ReplyDeleteI, too, was surprised at how good Brussels sprouts were. They were always the butt of jokes in old TV shows for being nasty, but they definitely got a bad rap.
