Day - 90 First step - done - whats next....

I think it is a quote from Mao, that a trip of 10,000 miles begins with a 1st step. Well we just now finished our first step, 9,999 more to go, however they do not seem intimidating nor long, I can easily say bring it on.

Thanks are in order, first to Patric for creating this great program, my team mates - Will, Sara, Haley Louise and Grace for the support and inspiration, and to someone who does not even knows me, Renfiled Kuroda who's blog post lead me to this great project.

I was active but not fit, I needed to lose weight but everything I tried, mainly rationing my food intake, worked for a limit range and easily got back. I know what I was looking for but did not know where. I needed a program, cohesive, something that will be for the long run, something that will change my life, will change the way I live.

The changes just from 90 day are amazing, but the fundamental changes are even more amazing for me - eating right, good food that is accessible, tasty and healthy, more important control and planning of eating and drinking. I think these 2 are the most important things I gained in the program.

The workout program is a GREAT program, the tools are simple, they are portable (as I needed to travel few times within the 90 day, training did not stop)  and can be done anywhere, I jumped rope indoors, and in the HOT and sweaty summer we had here in Japan I could put on the aircon and survive.

In order to succeed in the project, as well as other parts of life you need to be patient, trust the program and JUST DO IT.

I just got these pants in HK in week #1, they were not tight but some slack, but not like this:

Now if I do not hold them this happens.....

2 days have passed since the end of PC project, I had lots of fun with Patric eating lunch a Pizza and beer, there is nothing like a cold beer in hot Japan. I missed it allot.

As Patric advised I kept away from workouts for these 2 days, but I feel my mind and body asking for it. been to Aikido instead, git my ass kicked in a different way. I assume I will rest another day and restart.

Food wise I am still eating like within the program but with less fuss, I can not give up the breakfast of PCP, but added a glass of wine and some other Small foods to the menu, do not feel yet a need to go wild on foods I did not eat the past 90 days. I am sure it will come, but I am more motivated now to keep on working and progressing.
