Day 1 - Patrick says 'jump'. We say 'how high??'

I'm on my way and now 89 days closer to PCP nirvana - I hope! Now I haven't owned a skipping rope since I was 10 years old and was never really one for skipping anyway. In fact I was usually the one relegated to turning the rope for the kids in the playground. I also bagged out riverdance - a lot. Now I eat my words. I bet the Lord of the Dance or whatever his name is can skip damn well with all that nimble footwork. Anyway, I see I am going to be spending a lot of time skipping so I had better learn to like it fast! I should also take my neighbours a big fruit basket because I am going to be jumping up and down on the roof every morning at 6am :)

Skipping aside, I am happy to say I got through today's workout without too much of a hitch. Good start!! The half meal regime isn't too bad but I was really hungry after lunch. Ravenous actually and my stomach wasn't quiet about it. I bought a tiny sandwich which when halved was absolutely minuscule. I admit I thought about super sizing but that would be cheating now wouldn't it? I got some added motivation to stick to things when I took my first photos. Ouch! As they say the camera never lies but what I would give for some serious airbrushing right now...

That's what a regular desk job will do to you (and yes perhaps a total lack of diet and exercise...). But all that is set to change! Now I wouldn't want to leave any of you with that slightly scary image so here is a photo of a very cute puppy to bring back nice fuzzy happy thoughts. Awwwww.

I'm already geared up for my 6am workout!! Good luck my fellow PCPers!
