Day 45

OK - we're halfway guys. All great. Did my morning working out and I will say they do not get easier with time. Maybe the skipping is better as rather than monotonous counting - we go at it madly for 2 minute bursts which is actually fun with the music blaring (my teenage years coming back I think).

Got up early - did the entire work out and here at my desk (and yes, I should not be blogging here..) I am sore all over: shoulders, legs, back.. and lower arms actually.. I know this is good and I am so damn alert I think I could beat a Russian at chess.

So the foundation is laid and now we are building up (and losing as we move along). As Patrick's email notes - we will soon have more days behind us than ahead. Good points on consistency.. pushing until failure and keeping things going now, not tomorrow.  I will admit, 50 second planks are difficult although going to failure which is up in the mid 40 seconds anyway. First couple of sets are fine but man they are painful.. worst exercise "I love to enjoy"..(Australian sarcasm there..).

All good - prepared lunch last night which I look forward to although not hungry as yet now 2 hours past breakfast. I actually look forward to my night shake - with the secrets in flavour being cinnamon, ginger and vanilla which go well with the apple, milk and egg whites.

Keep it up guys: it just gets better for us now.

Just for fun value - added picture of the Fishelbergs and I with Matt 'the dancing guy' from You-Tube. (Tokyo 27 Feb 2011).

BTW - with my bright canary yellow jacket - it was more of "who care's where Matt is - there is Richard in his yellow fleece". Video will come out at the end of 2011. The four of us really stood out front and centre of the clip.
