Day 65 - Lunge around the world in 90 days?

65 days later and I still hate lunges. Yesterday's leg sets were crazy bananas. I set the timer and started to lunge...10mins later I am STILL lunging. If I lined up all the lunges I have done since starting PCP I wonder where I would be - surely somewhere high on the Tibetan Plateau with the symptomatic nausea and lightheadeness to match. It took me twenty minutes to get through all of my leg reps and I swear I was not dawdling around in between. By the end my legs were a shaking mess and then of course straight after it was the shoulders. It was honestly a relief to get to the abs and I even managed to squeeze in a video date with our 8mins ab friend as well so that felt like an achievement.

I'll admit, on some off days I haven't managed to get through my entire sets - biceps and chest may have been abbreviated here and there but I have promised myself to never cut the legs or abs because they are the areas I need to work on the most. So far I've managed to hit all of the sets but was slightly terrified by Patrick's email of today telling us to keep going until failure....I am not looking forward to this. Legs are awful enough, I can't imaging lunging till failure. Maybe I should just forgo the bus and start lunging into work in the mornings? The horror...

Today was a major PCP diet fail of rather epic proportions. My old boss invited me out for lunch and since he was pressed for time we went to the Chinese restaurant downstairs for dim sum. I'm not sure how it happened but we inadvertently ordered almost everything fried on the menu. My digestive system is now in full scale revolt but it tasted oh so fine. I'm giving myself a pat on the back regardless for being pretty good up until this point but I guess I'll just have to be extra careful from now. I call it sub-conscious sympathetic indulgence - I hope you feel better now Gilles...

I still have tonight's workout to do when I get home and it looks like another killer. Are we seriously up to 90 second planks???

Update 8:45pm 4/5/2011: I would strongly suggest you not read this is you are yet to do your Day 65 work out!    
OK so I have just managed to scrape myself off the floor and wipe away the drool to write this addendum to my post. Oh my good god you cannot be serious!!! Today was by far the toughest yet for me. Chest dips - failure. Push - ups - failure, I had to slip in a set of 'lady' push ups. Biceps - I had so many freaky hulk like veins popping out everywhere by the last set I thought I was going to haemmorhage and die. Not to be dramatic or anything. 90 SECOND PLANKS?? I was crying proper baby tears by plank 3. Mehhh, I hurt.  Excuse me while I go lie down in a very cool and dark place and try and piece together my sanity. But on the plus side - my new skipping playlist rocks!! Skips were (almost) a delight - in retrospect...
