Day 16

The past couple days I've had a lot more energy.  I feel like I've come through a period of detox and now my body knows what to do with all the veggies we've been eating.  I've also dialed back the caffeine.  I went to play in an ultimate frisbee tournament today, did my work out first.  I found it much easier to run on the balls of my feet then I have in the past.  I also found I didn't need to stray from the diet much.  I had a couple of extra pieces of bread, but besides that I stayed with PCP.  I feel like I am starting the spring off in better shape then I have in the past few years, but I would like to have more endurance and explosive speed.  The tourney was a good time we went 2-2.  Here's a photo of one of our games.  

  Any way feeling great looking forward to more.  Good night sleep helps too.

Day 14

Felt exhausted all day.  Went to a fun and easy frisbee practice this evening. Felt so much better after getting some exercise.  Did my skips when I got home, ate dinner and here I am.  Looking to play in a frisbee tournament on Saturday.  There is one right after PCP ends so maybe that will give me a good perspective on before and after fitness.  I'd like to play in a league on Tues. and Thurs. nights while doing PCP I'll have to see how it goes.  Looks like I'm losing weight.  I'm down to 185 pounds or 84 kg I think I started at 190-195 so around 87 kg.      

13 Down

13 days down.  I had to do one without my scale, because I dropped it.

I think it went fine and I picked up a new one with grams so I don't have to convert to ounces.  When is the rest of the world going to stop using metric anyway? Just kidding. 
I missed photos for week 1 so I'll have to make sure to get them up for week 2.  Pretty tired today, worked Monday and Tuesday night which makes it tough to get to sleep early then up at 4 to feed Taj.  Then to compensate I've been drinking about 3 cups of black tea which doesn't feel like a great way to get energy.  I feel like I'm griping over little stuff.  Mostly I feel great.  Not having beer or ice cream late at night has makes mornings a lot nicer.  I like getting used to making veggies the main course and so far that feels like a lesson that will continue after day 90.  Well that's about all for now.  I'm going to go peruse some other pcp blogs.  I'll leave you with a couple more photos.
 Here's breakfast with out the scale.  Looks about right.

The garbage bowl. It doesn't look good.  It tastes kind of good, but there is something satisfying when you eat it. 

Day 11

Day 11 done.  Today was a good lesson on how I need to manage time.  Steph had last week off so finding time for PCP was easy.  Today I got home from waiting tables at around 9 and it was time to do the exercises.  Then dinner, but luckily the chef sent me home with salad and steak all I had to do was weigh it.

"Jane says I'm done with Sergio" Day 10

It's nice to be on the PCP diet.  Leading up to it I felt like an addict needing to eat a little more junk food before having to quit.  So far so good.  Food prep time is a little long right now, but with a some organizing in the fridge I think things will go smoothly.  I have mostly just been eating raw veggies, chicken, some fish, shrimp, and a piece of lamb (thanks Naila), and for carbs I started off with a lot of bread, but have been adding in pasta and oatmeal.  Some of the meals have looked great and tasted great.  Others have been like a garbage bowl...for example this morning I took a bunch of kale threw it in a blender with milk then added it to oatmeal with hard boiled eggs, and chopped carrots (sorry no picture).  It feels like a lot of food almost too much.  I find myself forcing down the last couple bites, but I'm usually ready to eat when it's time for the next meal.  I feel like I am learning a lot more then just fitness.  How to prepare a healthy meal of course, also how to blog, how to take a photo.  For example which photo do I post?

 One more recent meal.  This is on a plate I hardly ever use because it's huge.  Although my vegetable serving usually doesn't take up half the plate.

Day 7

I'm sure at some point I'll stop posting everyday, but right now I'm trying to stay on top of myself.  I've never been very tech savvy, but I'm starting to get into this whole blog thing.  Jump rope was tough today, felt a little run down but feeling great now.  I'm in New Hampshire for a few days and we got out for a hike this morning which was beautiful.

 
I know I've read about a dozen other PCP blogs, but I am still so excited and uncertain of what the diet is going to look like starting tomorrow.

Day 6

Still need to knock out the exercise, but curious to see what comes next.
