Day 23 -- Random Observations from Week Three


I'm starting to see more significant body changes taking place this past week. Feeling firmer overall, standing and sitting posture has improved as my back/abs build in strength.

There are days when I'd rather eat a broken glass and vaseline sandwich than pick up that damn jumprope. (But I don't think the nutrition plan allows for vaseline!)

My weight has stayed EXACTLY the same, like, to the ounce, but clothes are fitting better. Even wore a midriff bearing top to a yoga class yesterday.

There are fewer "erghs" and "grrs" when I'm hefting heavy things like dog food bags and shopping baskets. Except when it's my own butt out of a chair -- then it's, "oooooooomph, my sore quad/calf muscles!"

During the day I have more energy and pep, with no afternoon slumps. Go, go, Gadget Everything! That is, except after 8pm when all bets are off. It's as if my whole body starts to power down in the evenings.

I'm sooooooo boring now. Up before sunrise, packing my own meals, tea totaling, and in bed by 10pm.

There's already more shazam in my yoga practice, even though I only get a session in 3 x per week. Now, I just need to start incorporating those goal postures...

Fruit with yogurt is the stuff of dreams. I think it will be my #1 snack choice for the rest of my days. Love it, love it, want to marry it, LOVE IT!

Keeping up with the blogging is one of the more challenging aspects of the PCP, but there's great motivation in knowing that my PCPeeps are slogging through with me!

  1. Your weight will continue to stay the same if not go up slightly as you add those layers of dense muscle and burn off the fat stored within your old muscle.

    You're going to have a totally shredded 8 pack when this thing is over. I'm excited!
