Was the weekend of the Hk sevens rugby tournament, a weekend that normally sees me drunk by seven pm on friday night and not really sober until Tuesday morning, this year I managed the entire weekend without a drop and it's a huge result.
I had my usual box and it was full of other guys from the company from the singapore and Tokyo offices with lots of our customers. Needless to say there was some fairly insane scenes involving jugs of beer, pimms and vodka red bull, washed down with crisps, meat pies and greasy chicken.
Now I used to be heavily involved in all of the above and I have to say it was incredibly tough not getting involved perhaps not in the drink but in the food, it didn't help having my clients who know I am doing PCP, wafting meat pies under my nose! I entertained for the entire weekend without dropping the ball and did my exercises in the morning on friday and in the evening on sat and Sunday after all day at the rugby, did my sets this morning too and by mid day I was asleep in my chair at work.
I really hit the wall for the first time since week two I think, physically and mentally there hasn't been much rest for a while and I have to say I'm looking forward to some downtime.
What I realized though and I think it's important to share is that one is capable of resisting the temptations of old on the alcohol and food front without too much will power, I had my food with me and I just ate that quietly while all else around me poured All the things I used to enjoy down their throats.
At one stage I came v close to destroying a meat pie but I thought about what was in it and I backed off, realizing that it just makes extra work for me if slide back into it,
I'm feeling the extra load on the sets now and there are some seriously tough moments, finding that some upbeat tunes on the iPod make a world of difference on those too as well as during the skipping.
I'm not sure I have managed to skip more than about twelve mins before my calves give in, I am currently jumping both feet at the same time, with then some running jumps at intervals after that, any tips on how to get that more like twenty mins would be great,
The end is so close I can taste it but I know quietly inside that things have changed forever and I'm looking forward to the next challenge with my new improved PCP-ass whipped body,
Keep putting up the sets guys we are almost there,
Photos on their way I realize we have skipped a week. Aiming to be asleep before nine tonight to get the rythmn going again at six!!

Holy Sh$t
In the middle of my fourth set of curls yesterday my left arm caught fire, not literally that would be hideous, but there was a searing pain on the inside of my bicep, I actually cried albeit briefly and with a smile on my face, I know a bit joker-esque but it happened so I thought I would share it.
I remembered what Patrick had said about pain being temporary and I reloaded and managed to get three quarters of the way through the final sets, the outside curls actually loosened it up a bit so must have been a barrier of some sorts...a small stick of dynamite going off in my arm!
Sunday was one of those days where everything went wrong at least that's how it felt, by the time the kids were in bed I basically couldn't open my mouth to talk I was that washed out. Consequently when the alarm went off this morning at six it got smacked, just couldn't do it first time that's happened for six weeks, did my sets tonight just doesn't sit well so will do back to back and do them tmrw morning. It's too late after getting home at seven to work out for an hour then shower eat twice before bed and try and relax.
Have discovered the joy of skipping to really loud music, fifteen minutes now flies by its basically four really great songs, when a crazy beat kicks in I can run skip at never before seen speeds at least for me anyway. There is also a cunning plan of skipping with weights in the handles for ten minutes and then for the last five take the weights out you can absolutely tear it apart because your arms now feel lighter than air.
I think ninety second planks suck balls.
Loving my new diet sheet for this week patrick am craving huge quantities of fruit though....struggling with 150 grams a day.
Straining at the leash for the finish line now team, change gears again and punish those sets....GO GO GO.

blogging from work
this week i have been mostly in the doldrums emotionally, exercises and sets done to a tee but my heart wasnt in it for some reason....where there was joy this week there was nothing...which is strange more than anything and although the feeling is there that we are all doing something great for ourselves every day my mind has been elsewhere.
I think being stuck in front of screens all day and then watching the disaster in japan unfold on the television really got me, the helplessness of the situation and those poor people, i think humbling maybe the expression i am looking for. What it demonstrates is the fraility of human kind and that is tough to quantify, what it makes me believe though is that if you give it your all, 100% everyday then whatever happens you know you have tried your hardest and put your heart into it. if you leave nothing on the table then the contentment starts to spread but sometimes the getting to that point is the real test.
I think that is what i am learning from this project apart from the nutrition and the belief in a solid exercise structure, it requires you to examine yourself everday for an hour, to stress test your frame and mind, something that we all do far too infrequently.
I know there is a quote out there about idleness but its more than that, it is a beep test of ones character everyday to get out there and do it, to be organised about the food and exercise to actually care about how you feel and how you look, although not of all these things are a novelty to me i see the simplicity of it and due to the way i feel and look now it just seems to make sense.
Quite often before i would hit the gym for an hour at lunchtime to do some cardio and lift dome weights but i never saw any results. i considered myself to be realtively fit albeit too heavy but couldnt get what i wanted.
The combination of what we are doing now has cracked this cycle and the belief in it is self-reinforicng, you do it and you feeel better simple. You look better, you sleep better. I take pride in the fact my giant shopping trolley is overflowing with fruit / veg / low fat milk / youghurt / eggs / fish and chicken and thats it, no health food products / no tins / no atrificialallnessmadeinafactory rubbish at all. It feels good to bring that home to my family!
A clearer mind has led me to be on the one hand more reflective about things that actually matter and on the other more driven and convinced that there are certain things that are changing and will be changed due to my actions in the future.
This week has been a fruitless exercise at work but the wheels keep on turning, in my personal life i feel as though i have achieved a lot and it matters so much more, a brilliant revelation that i had to share with you all.
I now am excited about the last four weeks and i hope you all are too, for those of you that i know my amazing wife included you all look fantastic, for those of you that i dont you all look great too, i feel a post pcp coming out evening in HK if you are all keen, happy to organise to swap war stories,
keep up the hard work everyone, prayers to those in japan and in the middle east, the karmic wheel is spinning just keep the faith.
ENJOY THE WEEKEND ONE AND ALL.

Weekend too short
When the weather is like this it should be law around the world that work starts on Tuesday and stops on Thursday, everyone could benefit from more time to exercise, be with their families and just not be so wound up the whole time. Those that want to work could but the law would be three day week.
I watched in horror on Friday as that tsunami hit the Japanese coast line and it places a lot in perspective. I hope that all those affected can begin to rebuild their lives from today and that nature gives them a break. All those who were caught up in the nightmare I pray that they find their friends and family and if they can overcome this horror with the help and love of others then their lives will be forever changed.
With so much conflict and suffering in the middle east and japan and new Zealand sets are just what they are from now on, a small amount of time dedicated each day to making me stronger no matter how painful or challenging. I remember not so long ago staring at the wall thinking what am I doing, now if I am thinking while I do them it is about how lucky we are, to have the chance to do this, to have made the choice to pursue the project and make a genuine difference.
If for whatever reason we were confronted with such a monumental challenge that now faces so many in japan I know that I am slightly better equipped with everyday that I am doing PCP. You don't know when life can flip on it's head but it's better to be sharp physically, which clearly leads to a sharper mind. I have no doubt that these last four weeks will be tough but there is good reason to accept the challenge.
Very good emails recently Patrick, I hope that the group sticks at it we have all come so far,
Finding it very motivating that I now have friends and colleagues who are at the end of their week one and they are asking me about the weeks to come, also everyone that I see who I haven't seen for three months is incredulous at how much my shape has changed, best comment so far was that I looked like I was twenty one again.
I know we should not be vain but in the spirit of PCP I think everyone in the group looks fantastic and is it worth it? HELL YEAH.....six am never looked so good...got wunder radio app on the iPhone and it gets you going at that time off day...internet radio from anywhere in the world...brilliant,
If you want something sweet for veg asmuchasuwant....sweet potato/avocado/yellow pepper/vine tomatoes and carrots ....B E A U T I F U L...have a good week everyone dont quit don't stop double the intensity....embrace the burn it's your new found friend!!!!

end of another week
i have discovered that my threshold for incompetence is getting lower and lower, i dont know whether this if because i am getting older and grumpier or whether i havent woken up to the fact that there is a whole new generation of people that are fifty times as pushy and bad mannered than anything the world has ever seen.
it is not possbile to be sh%t at something and still be so expectant that the world owes you a free lunch....i am in the middle of what feels like an emotional whirlwhind and i need to do somehting about it so im sharing it with you.....i am angry with myself when i dont complete my skipping without tripping and i get wound up when there is failure in any of my sets. i did 5 minutes extra skipping this morning at double speed until it felt like my arms were going to drop off and my back was cramped up and then did as many pushups and sit ups as i could until i couldnt move....it feels good now but not sure its the right way to approach the project.
work is a pain in the A$$ at the moment and i sick and tired of doing sh%t for other people....
i want to feel good about the exercises but there is a negative vibe runnning through me and it reeks of fcuk this and i dont give a sh%t...which i hate .....i might need some yoga to calm me down but right now i want to take a sledgehammer to a china shop with RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE at 1000 decibels....
hoping tomorrow there is a bit more sunshine in my mind.

Here comes the rain
Wet Hk tonight hope its not the start of the rainy season.....o'reilly's prize came sixth in the nz derby which is a great effort ...england sneak past south Africa in India...getting stuck into the new exercises still enjoying the variations...interesting that when you can eat as much veg as you want you don't go mad and eat three lbs at one sitting, there is only so much veg you can eat in one go.
Back into the six am slot tomorrow before playing golf nice for a monday, I think that the wend sets need to be done early too I'm just not a fan at lunchtime or in the evening.
Should be interesting week PCP wise.keep up the hard work team.adios

Time for a bit of cheeky marketing
My elder sister is having her book launch tonight in London, as I have emailed and face booked about it I am now blogging it up....WE All RAN INTO THE SUNLIGHT by Natalie Young is available on amazon and other retailers worldwide from tomorrow onwards....it's a culmination of many years of hard work and I have a feeling that it will be life changing....PCP is changing my life one day at a time so I thought it would be ok to spread the love on here. It's not everyday you have a book published and I wanted to share her achievement with those who are sharing their achievements with Sasha and I everyday on PCP....if you get a chance read it...if you like it tell your friends and families about it....if you would like signed copies of it because you like it so much I will see what I can do....:) if you don't like it feel free to vent at me but I won't be sending you a refund :).....it's on the web,it's been reviewed in the newspapers in the uk and I will be endeavoring to bring it to Hk and maybe the rest of Asia.....if anyone works in the literature world or for a book store hit me with your contact details.....
Ironically the title of the book is a little how I feel about our group of pcp'ers, everyday we complete sets and skipping, it hurts it's tough the diet can be tedious and take time, it's tiring it's stretching our sinews but at the end of everyday I feel as though we are one step closer to reaching our goals, there is the sunlight peaking at us but it will be tough as hell to get there, every completed rep, every completed set, every proper delicious fresh healthy meal that we are preparing and enjoying is edging us closer to the sunlight, I absolutely love my egg whites in the evening they are my reward for a good day well fought in my sets and my office which can be a battleground at times, when I go into the bathroom and I pass under the pull up bar I am now hurling myself onto it to do a few cheeky reps, for someone that could not do one six weeks ago it's a good feeling to know that I can now do plenty,
I am testing myself everyday with new physical challenge and there is nothing boring about it, at school I used to play sport everyday for at least three hours I now weigh nearly what I did when I was 21 which is insane....for ten years I have sat in a chair at work for up to and sometimes longer than ten hours a day....followed swiftly by another four hours in the bar and at a dinner table....literally blowing myself up with booze and ridiculous amounts of all the richest and most delicious foods on the planet....in doing this I ballooned to 94 kilos which for someone that is six feet tall is not loads but it sat like a rubber ring around my waist and like sealion fat around my face and neck....compound that lifestyle with plenty of cigarettes and caffeine to get me through the day I feel sick at the thought of what my body looks like on the inside even now....it is a more distant memory now than I imagined possible and although I will no doubt indulge in these treats again save the cigarettes and coffee which i can't stand the smell of or drink anymore bcos I shake and sweat after about a minute I know that there is a balance to my life and certain things like really good apple crumble and custard oysters rare steaks spicy bloody mary's good red wine cold chocolate bars from the fridge melting smelly cheese that you can eat with a spoon whole bags of kettle chips ( yes I could easily polish one of those big bags off on my own) baby back ribs full rack obviously with a side of chilli and big fries with garlic mayonnaise, dim sum in all shapes and sizes Singapore noodles butter chicken curries samosas Kashmiri naan bread with lashings of spicy chutney and raita monster pizzas with everything on them......they are treats now and not the norm and I sense a very different mindset to all of it.....Sasha and I have made some delicious meals during PCP so far and I genuinely love my food now ....it's not a source of indulgence more an experiment to see what tastes amazing in it's natural state...and what makes us feel strong and full of energy consistently over a period of 14 or so hours....
I haven't blogged like this for a while and it feels good to have a blab about all sorts of stuff it's all part of the experience I suppose
The week is over for me work wise it's golf tomorrow with an old friend who is in hong kong seeing his family so I am really looking forward to that as far as the skipping is concerned I will do it before the rest of the building wake up in the morning quiet which is by far and away the best time of day to exercise...happy in the knowledge that I am doing something good to start the day....I will probably squeeze in some cheeky push ups and maybe an 8 minute ab session too....I love that video it is spot on right down to the cheesy music slightly grainy picture quality and acres of spandex it's like the club tropicana video by wham ...except for exercise...timeless classic....bring on the weekend....for all of you who like to have a flutter on the gee gees I have a friend whose horse is running in the new Zealand derby in Auckland on Saturday...his name is o'reilly's prize....he has form and class and is currently 8/1 being hauled in all the time from the 40/1 he started at.....the trainer says he has never seen a horse eat or sleep so much....he has the lights turned out in his stable at four pm to get a good kip oh what a life .....But when he gets to a racetrack he knows only one thing...in the immortal words of the king of asphalt and the oval racetrack Ricky Bobby " I wanna go fast" ....if he wins and I did not share it I would feel bad ..if it doesn't go well then the money you lose betting on him if you use tab nz I think goes to the fund that has been set up to help the people of christchurch rebuild their lives and their city so it's win win....if u make bundle on him then donate some of it to the charity anyway.....with the Irish beating England at cricket in India and kevin o'brien smashing 100 runs in fifty balls a new world record for world cup cricket.....who would bet against a horse named o'reilly's prize....in a week like this.....the stars are aligning and all we need is a little leprechaun magic.....think of all the greatest cricketers that have played in world cups..........Botham richards gavaskar waugh Lara yuvraj tendulkar ganguly klusener chanderpaul Hayden gilchrist amla ponting sewhag gayle gower all towering strikers of the cricket ball and legends of the game....sitting atop that list now with a century that was sixteen balls faster than any other which is incredible...is a,up until tuesday a little known Irishman,who are typically associated more with gaelic football rugby and horse racing than cricket named kevin obrien....miracles happen everyday the karmic wheel spins England beat Australia in Australia eight weeks ago and they now lose to the Irish.....brilliant !!!! And I am English....
