Final Post

It took me a while to write this post. I had so much to write, and mind was full of thoughts and was feeling nostalgic about my last 90 days. I am entering to new phase of living with all good habits and determination to stay healthy forever and not to look back.

This is it, end of great 90 days journey which I never thought I could have finished. But yes here I am, new transformed me, filled up with great knowledge that I acquired from Patrick Reynolds & Chen Zhongtao.

I am so thankful to my hubby, without him seriously this was not possible. He was the one who made me do this. I enjoyed every bit of it coz he was with me and made this project easy. We both have seen changes and were glad we did this together.  Thanks Sweetheart for the continuous support, for pulling my spirits up every time and helping me in many workouts..remember Double Katana... Love you.

Big Thanks and hugs to both of my Parents i.e. Kos’s parents and mine, who have always supported us so much. Love you all for that. Glad that you all are my family.

My Fellow PCP –ers, thanks a ton for your continuous encouragement and awesome blogs which seriously gave it a nice light happy turn. I am glad that I came to know lovely ppl: Tracey, Conny, Ines, Kim, Richard, Noel- It was so much fun reading your blogs and thanks for your support, advice and ever encouraging comments. You all look Hot, sexy in new transformed you.

 My awesome gorgeous Team Mighty Mouse – Guys you rock – Thankfully half of you are in HK, so we can meet more often  J . I truly enjoyed watching all the awesome changes in everybody. YE YE YE.Team Mighty Mouse: Ha ha what a name, coz we forgot what Patrick named our team. It Was great meeting you Brent, Justin, Terri, Fergie and looking forward to meet Marcus and all of you again on Thursday.  Meg, Babe will miss you and hope to see you very soon in HK.

Let’s, talk about this awesome Journey. When my hubby first introduced me to this project, I never gave much attention to it frankly. But, when he was too much interested in doing this, I started reading more, everyday; read all PCP ers blog nearly…specially Corry Macdonald, Helen,Tanya, Molly, Yeeman, Keita, Greenie and Wei, and obviously by default PR’s blog!! J They seriously changed my mind and made me enthusiastic about it.After getting to know more about it, me and Kos maximum time talked about PCP – we use to exchange emails saying did u read her blog today..She/he looks great...What a transformation… And stuff like that...It was our routine…he he, and then we finally decided to enroll ourselves. I must say, what we were 90 days before in comparison of today, we are way too different.

When everybody came to know that we are doing this program, all were shocked and said to me why you have to do this, and you are already thin n stuff like that. But, I knew that how wrong I was in my eating habits and also my workouts regime were not giving me good results.

During this program, I might have become irritated coz of workouts or diet part and m sorry PR, but have cursed you also J Apology for that...Kos Is so much aware of it…But then I used to gathered my thoughts, cool down myself and then i can’t find anybody right except Patrick Reynolds!!In my life I have never checked sodium amount in my food, but now I always do and I don’t miss salt at all, seriously. The outlook towards life has been changed and it has taken a complete different turn. I can even write a love letter to Jump rope...I hated it so much when I was a big failure in that, but now I will keep jump rope always with me as my pet.

From now we will look at the menu in restaurant in completely different way(obviously not immediately but after a week or so :) ) and make sure what we put in our mouth.

I feel I have still not achieved the way I want to look…i.e. a girl with more strength and beauty. But, I will make sure I achieve that. At least am happy that I challenged myself and achieved at least something if not all.

I started with 57 - 57.5 kgs and yesterday my weight was around 54. M happy :) I could not measure anything else like B.M.I or Body Fat pecentage.

Some Post PCP Rule Guide for Me:
· Eating Habits Revolution: I will always keep a check on my every tiny winy bite of food that I am eating i.e. processed food if I am eating in restaurants. Salt content will always be less from now. · Loads of vegetables and white meat i.e. protein. They are magic part of this entire program and it has proved. I will eat more Avocado coz I never realized they are so yum, all colors of veggies which makes my food more attractive and even my body gorgeous. J. Will surely try veggie pizza with just a bit of cheese  and hell lot of veggies at home
· Workout very regularly... Oh my dear sweet Jump Rope, you look cruel, but you are awesome. 8   Mins Abs, you have already been added into my YouTube fav videos and you can’t escape anywhere. I will try to concentrate on each muscle of my body and try to maintain them before the fat layer hides it...I can’t allow my body to go back to its old stage. Will try to work out 4, 5 times a week. Hopefully ;)
· Would stick to Breakfast and Lunch as PCP compliant always, and can cheat on dinner part...With wine/martini/vodka/ pff I forgot names also...It’s so long… J
· No Frozen Yogurts: Damn I used to love this so much, that I have actually missed my dinner coz of it. After reading this I want to see how Kos reacts... J But, not now ever. My Low Fat Greek Yogurt with Fresh Fruits and a drizzle of honey will be my new Frozen Yogurt for me.
· Swimming: This thing can make my bad mood to the best. And will keep continuing to do it till my clubhouse permits me toJ, as they will be closing down very soon for winters. Damn.
· Flexibility: PCP has brought back “flexibility” in my body again. My V sit-ups are much better than what I started off with. Will make sure i don't loose this again.
· Nothing is Magic: If we have to achieve body like our role models, then we have to seriously invest hard work and dedication for that. Just by dieting or running one on treadmill won’t help us to achieve.
· Sharing Knowledge: Spreading a word about PCP to all people is so important, I will make sure that I can share my knowledge, whatever I have (J) with everyone I know and make them aware.

THE THINGS THAT I TILL DATE HATE AFTER PCP:
1. FLOOR JUMPS: Oh lord, how do you do it? I have managed to finish it but doing it correct is still unknown. Marcus dude, I am waiting for you to teach me on Thursday. It would be fun doing floor jumps in Soho… Ha Ha. People might feel we are bit crazy, but who cares.
2. LUNGES: I don’t want to talk about them… ;)

Here, comes the most awaited part of Blog : Pics!!

Patrick @ Chen Zhongtao : Special thanks to both of you from bottom of my heart,  for having patience with us and making us learn every minute details about our body. You have helped each one of us to look awesome ;).  You guys have corrected us so much in just 90 days and the results show that. Even though I might not have achieved perfect PCP target, but I am feeling way too strong and healthy and will continue to improve it. Hats off to both of you!! It was life changing experience.

My next project is to go and SHOP till I DROP.

Two happy and gorgeous people planning to have one lovely evening tomorrow, with great dinner and obviously wine and enjoying every bit of it. :D Waiting for that.

Well, are we receiving any awards PR? :D

There is a different smile on my face right now; it’s such a good feeling. Hope you all have the same.

Always keep smiling guys and wishing each one of you good luck in your life and Stay Healthy. Keep in Touch!!

We all did it!! Applaud!!

Cheers!

Awesome 89

Wonderful day..
Was it the energy or enthusiasm of completing Peak Condition Project,don't know but even after tough workout today I loved the burn and enjoyed the super sets.

Floor jumps were my weakest part always. So it was not that fun :)
But other exercises were fun. We r just so close but have to b very careful and watchful for what we eat from day 91 to rest of our lives..

All my fellow PCP ers, heartiest congratulations for achieving great healthy body and Patrick what can I say to you.. You are genius petson and thank you so much for sharing health related knowledge with us and helped us to earn it. Hats off to u PR!!

Just one more day, and m already having nostalgic feeling.

So close..

Guys,

It's day 88.. Wola..
Yesterday on day 87, I was a big failure in floor jumps. After 2nd set I just could not do it anymore. But enjoyed doing rest of the exercises. Yesterday, when I was workingout in gym, I saw a girl running like crazy treadmill.. Then she must have used every freaking equipment in gym and was still there when I left gym.. I was wondering, she must have lost hell amount of cal than me but seriously I was least bothered.

Today I truly loved the burn after out curls and dips. Though I was not perfect but still.
Well, tomorrow is a big day. It's super super set day :)

Well we all shall pass it..

Super Sets.. :D

Well what to say, about Super Sets...m speechless....
Seriously its just for four days, and i m glad that way.. :)

When i finsihed skipping..I was in full enthusiasm of starting super sets...Till i reached Curls and Ski Jumper super sets..i was pffff...I thought before, that as they are Super Sets, it will take a longer time than our usual workout, but infact it didn't...or did i do something wrong??

But, i agree that super sets are fun..i m sure they are very tough but they are different set of workouts....:)

I used spearate resistance bands during Curls and Ski Jumper super sets...Wow..they are tough..Then the fun part came..V Sits and Planks...and that too till failur..lolz..Patrick my failure in Plank is immediately after 15 seconds...:D well but i tried to put the timer for 60 seconds and was on my knees after 30 seconds....and started again and finished it...V sits up were ok till 2nd set..after that it was haywire...

After finishing workout, i thought i have to do 8MA, because if i dont do it at that time or within half an hour i surely skip it..So after ten min rest i did my 8MA and was bit unhappy by my techniques...

Today at day 87 the super set is of Creeps and Floor Jumps...Grrr..How will i handle it??

Now i am craving for Wine, Martini, home baked muffins, and different kind of tasty food..Argghh..:D Please i cant wait anymore...

Day 84

Done with Skipping and even 8MA.

Had a nice light day so exercises were fun and didn't took long as only skipping was there in menu.

Entire time i was waiting for Patrick's email so that i can see whats in store for all of us for this week..Whoa!! Super Sets coming....and now curious about day 90 as he will not say till we reach there.. :(

Seeing those work schedules was like Seriously!! But, i agree that still we all can make a bit difference to our body in these last 6 days and reach to that other side.

Waiting to start my day 85 exercise!!

Day - 83

Getting so closer to the end of program..
Read about doing jump ropes 10 minutes a day, everyday .. :)
Wow...Listening to 10 minutes is not a big deal, when now we are doing 21 minutes rope..But lets see how regularly i do it and maintain my body...

I m now tired of eating fish, egg whites and even prawns..I need different food now, but then m scared of eating the normal food coz then you will go back to some of your old eating habits and m wondering that how it will affect my body?? Brain is so confusing...

Swimming is my Savior

Nothing can make me more relax and in good mood than swimming for nice 30 minutes. :)

Well, again skipping has hurted my ankle and before i damage it more, i thought to swim again which is surely more time consuming than skipping coz of pre and post work..But for me this is the only option as i am not at all able to skip.

Rest of the workouts are ok i wont say m too pleased, but the chicken wing exercise made me smile a bit coz i can see those nice muscles... :) Did my 8MA and enjoyed it completely.
In the mid of night i was thinking, why skipping is giving me so much pain and why i am so frustrated with it and then in the morning zen jump rope email was there which made me bit more relaxed even though i wont be doing it for some more days.

Thinking for day 91 when there won't be any regular great email from PR,no more diet schedule, no more workout schedule. We have to be the best judge as of what food is good,healthy and great for our body, what workout should we continue in our daily regime and how to keep looking great for the rest of our life instead of going back from where we have progressed.Not going to be easy!!

Cheers!!

Day 78

21 Minutes skipping nearly killed my ankle.. It has started aching again...
I tripped a lot yesterday while skipping and that made me so angry and upset....I felt like leaving it and do nothing. But, then gathered my thoughts and started again and finished it though it was unsatisfactory.

Diets are going fine, but in evening after my workout i need something solid like a slice of bread, though i have carbs in my dinner, but i just wanted to know can i shift that after my workout, as i am fine without carb during dinner time..

Exercises are increasing every day and it consumes lot of time. I forgot my 8MA yesterday and was not pleased with that...Well, new set of exercises today and time for new set of pics. Its last lap and am getting all frustrated dont know why?? Probably i want to see my abs getting toner and am not near to it..

Hope this feeling ends up soon and i should be back on track soon with all positive vibes around me.

Last two important and tough weeks

Just two weeks left!! And m sure its going to be tough and we have to start thinking about maintaining our body and most importantly our diets post PCP..which is the biggest question.

Well, exercises are going fine...and m now regularly loving 8MA workout..
But, yesterday we were out for Junk trip and diets was completly out of track..M sure my indulgence mite have crossed the limit given..But, yes it was great fun..Lovely weather, did loads of swimming...Before going for trip, i did my workout and got my extra workout done through swimming.

From diet point of view, m still strong of what should i eat and not. But sometimes, i skip from egg whites, like today. I am sure its very wrong and not good after this workout. So, last 14 days i want to make sure that i eat every bit of protein. Veggies content are fine but m quiet missing out or prob eating less of my protein part.

After two weeks, it would be real test for all of us that how we maintain ourselves as we have all realized how wrong we used to eat and how wrong was our lifestyle..atleast mine...

Cheers!!

Day - 70

Awesome..20 more days to go..But m sure i have to go beyond these 20 days to gain up more muscles..

Well m bit happy with my body... :)
Doing my workouts and strangely loving 8MA so much that i dont feel like missing it now..I can do sit ups much more easily now and love the entire pressure on my abs...

The weekend was fun ..Did Dirt Biking..was fun...
Diets are going fine, but seriously am tired of white eggs and fish..As i dont eat chicken, i am eating only fish and uff i need a break....serious break from fish and egg whites...i cant eat it any more...

Hope PCP makes us mentally strong too to avoid and ignore the speculated downturn of financial markets...

Ppl staying in London, hope you guys ar safe and sound...Take care folks..


Well, still have to do my skipping for today and click some pics.. :)

No Skipping for a week

Well, after day 63 and wonderful 5 mins skipping, well for a week i think i have to substitute skipping with swimming....

Ankle not good for skipping...

Diets are going preety good and apparently my diet has been increased.. :) there are carbs before workout and even in dinner..Well, in our might mouse group i think that change is only for me..which made me more inquisitive about why only me?? Was glad to have fruits back in my evening snack and really enjoying it ;)

Tried Mexican Baked Fish from our 200 Pages Fish Recipe book which i bought way long back but never used.. :)

PCP actually helped me to go through all pages coz its just so many fish recipes....obv not all are PCP compliant but lovely recipes..On weekend, will share some of PCP compliant recipes...

Day - 62.. Whats wrong wid my ankle??

Did skipping..and all sets of exercises....as due to shortage of time, i could not go to gym for kung fu sit ups so did 4 sets of 15 reps of v situps.....

After my workout, was all fresh and very very active....and being enthusiastic about it, i thought to wake up early morning today for my only skipping day...But, my ankle is in pain..again....well have no idea.....

I have applied some pain relieving cream and hope till i reach home and start my workout it is all good....
I think its just normal pain which will go away in a day or so....

Have started doing swimming and i am so very happy about it..I love swimming and i want to ask that if the ankle pain is bad, can i substitute it with swimming??

New photos will get uploaded today evening....

Cheers Guys!!
