Ok, so made it through the work day.  Had to pop strepsils one after the other, so this is my last official day on the sick list.  Tomorrow I come back with a vengeance.  I am really disappointed with myself for being down and out for so many days.  It has felt like a mini-break and I am now more and more committed to getting the most out of the second half of the progamme.

Thanks for all the supportive comments everyone.  I'll become a comment-master from here on in.  Definitely boosted my spirits.

Day 3 - still sick

Ok, so crashed out on couch under my duvet again.  Let's just say I'm likely gonna lose some weight but more from not eating than as a result of exercise.  I don't do sick well and I am bored out of my mind. Drinking lots of tea and hoping I am be back on form tomorrow.  I think I am going to follow Ricky's method and do double trainings to catch up after losing another day.  That guy is a trooper!!!

This PCP'er is not happy.

Sick Day 2

No exercises today.  And very little food.  Under my duvet on the couch nursing a  very sore throat and nausea.  Pre PCP, I would have used ice cream to soothe my throat.  Things you really miss when you are feeling poorly.

Here's hoping I return to form tomorrow.

Sick :(

Hmm, so maybe it was three nights in a row of not finishing my exercises before midnight and still getting up at 6 for work, but I'm officially not doing exercises today.  Throat is very sore and struggling as it is.  Figure a good nights sleep will hopefully put me right.

Back tomorrow PCP'ers.

It's an addiction now

Ok, I am loving the new exercises.  Creep. Floor jumps.  Elevated tricep dips.  These are great exercises. And the plank.  Its all I can do to make it through the fourth set.  I think this week I have really started to notice changes in my upper body.  It's getting exciting. And having great weather in London is just an added bonus.  Could life be much better??

I was noticing my calves this evening.  I have always thought they were the worst part of my body.  Now I'm thinking they are moving close to the top of the list.  I'll take a picture tomorrow and post them.  Slightly vain, but hey, you have to celebrate the small successes.

I loved Patrick's suggestion of doing the jump ropes in the morning.  I might give it a try but that's a significant amount of body co-ordination so early in the morning.  I foresee myself saying "forget it" and heading back to hide under my duvet.

It's another night of finishing after midnight so its into bed for me.  I'm looking forward to reading some blogs on the weekend.  They are inspiring reads.

Day 37

Ok, so did my 1400 skips without too much pain in the shins.  Bring it on I say.... the boy is back on form.  Not too much to report tonight.  Its midnight after a long day in the office so its bed time for me.  I'll write more tomorrow.

Oh one more thing, pistol squats followed by the creep.......had to drag myself in from the garden, I could barely walk. Too funny.

Good night PCP'ers.

Injury day :(

Well my shins are totally done for the day. I got up to 230skips and just had to stop.  I think I might switch to swimming on some days to take the strain off my body from skipping.  And can I just say my legs were still screaming this morning.  Holy smokes, no pain, no gain.

Ok, short post today. I am going to read some of the amazing blogs I have not had the time to read for a while.
