Day 90 - COMPLETE !

Here we go: Day 90 done and complete and what a journey this has been. 


I think getting time back in terms of not spending as much time preparing food and doing workouts will be brilliant. I will continue the workouts and the maintenance workouts look great: 3 times a week or so. Skipping or jump rope now will become my daily. 


Right now - I am sore (from Days 88 and 89 workouts) and legs are sore from doing double up workouts.


I might come back and edit this later on although keen to get the photos up while I have them. Patrick kindly took shots of us and they are below. I added some of my own and you can see a comparison of before and after. 


This has been quite a journey where I'd like to of course like to thank Patrick for putting something like this together and doing it for cheap and for the wellness betterment of society.  Also a massive thank you to Jason Fish, Block, Andy, Wiswell, Steve and others who blazed this path. Actually a big thanks to Fish for helping out and setting me up on this road.


Also a massive thank you to my fellow PCPers who wrote those comments who kept me going. Molly, Chris, Scott, Heather, George, Aki, Brian, Nick, Marc, James, Peter and of course Patrick. Oh - one thing I promised myself was to blog everyday - and I did just that. It is a good way to stay tuned and focused. 

The program started off tough and continued difficult. Just when we were in a nice routine we had the March 11th 9 magnitude earthquake (The Great East Japan Earthquake) which changed everything here in Tokyo and in Japan; things became insane. This photo here right  is of the intensity on the Japanese scale (for Magnitude add 2 digits): just ridiculous.  The Tsunami shocked us all and then the nuclear accident added stress levels to those of us here and made PCP challenging in that suddenly we could not get the food we needed: milk, eggs, yogurt - impossible although funny though - vegetables were fine which goes to show - most of society are not PCP friendly; more for us!


OK - back to the main story. My stats are here below. In the last 2 weeks I was very keen to get my visceral fat down to 10% and hooray - I did. I did double jumprope sessions combined with the 8 min abs video. It worked!  I still want to continue reducing fat levels - so giddyup on that front.


The statistics:
Weight:              91kgs => 77kgs
Body Fat:              29.4 => 20.7
Visceral Fat           16.0 => 10.0
Basal metabolism  1960 => 1743
Muscle mass         28.4 => 33.7
Sub fat                19.1 =>13.2
BMI                     30.1 =>25.0
Body age                57 => 45 (I am 42: this needs more work)
Jeans size               36 => 31 (and 31 is now loose)


OK - before I bore us all any further: I will keep this short in that this has been an amazing journey and one I am significantly glad I did. If anyone is considering this - do it. Step over that line and go for it. It will change your life. 


Enjoy the photos: they are amusing. I now need to buy a new wardrobe and spend my weekend sorting my clothes for those more needy.
