Final blog and reflections on the program

So here it is the final blog of Blondie. I am now on a family holiday in Borocay and had a week to get back into life without PCP, but what a surprise, even after being freed by Patrick into a normal life PCP still rules our life, every meal, every day is still lived PCP friendly and that is very strange,even on holiday I just had an ice-cream and only one glass of red wine and the welcome cocktail, I am so terrified to go back to my fat self and so I am walking at least one and a half hour every day along the gorgeous beach and try to do some exercises but of course only the nice ones as I am on holiday, so no pull ups and chest dips and all the other awful exercises. It is funny the cardio bit I don't mind at all but definitely the exercises but I know that I have to do them to maintain the body I got now, even if I will never love and enjoy them...
So what do I think about PCP and the last 90 days:
It definitely changed our life, we are very careful with our food, but I don't know whether we will manage to enjoy our life and food as much as before and I also think hubby is getting obsessed by it as we don't have a normal life like a nice lay in in the morning without hubby thinking to get up to do the skipping and exercises, early nights to be able to get up early etc....
PCP is definitely not for mummies that have to look after small children.
While I was in Germany and didn't have any help to cook and to look after the little one it is very difficult to follow the program as you have to prepare food and do everything in the evening when you are already tired and don't feel like it at all. on top of it if you have to cook for them and feed them you tend to snack on their food what is really frustrating but you can't help it....
PCP is very effective to change your body but for all the effort you do, definitely the male body gets more out of it as you can see much better a transformation.
It was a great experience and you meet fantastic people from all over the world.
So would I do it again???? I am not sure as I can see now that you have to do a lot of exercises and skipping still after you reached your peak and I can see it already on my body although I am eating carefully and do exercises every day my body is going very quick into the old shape, small love handles, not so firm thighs.... but the big BUT I feel Great now and full of energy and thanks to Patrick and his program i got rid of my long earned fat, 4 kids took definitely their toll on my body and I won't get the body I dream of even with lots of exercises, only if i maybe get some ribs broken and boobs pulled up, but I definitely can enhance my body with exercises and a strict food regime, that lesson I definitely learned and the pics say it all..... I am now definitely visiting Chad regularly to get my waist even better shaped and a few kilos still have to go.... I think I am now as obsessed as my husband or maybe just a little bit. A huge thank you to Heather, Richard, James and Sascha and Molly who got me out of the deep valley when I was down and of course again a huge thank you also to Patrick for being there and giving his comments.
Bye Bye everyone and I hope we still stay in touch, maybe after one year we should do PCP revisited...

blondie is back and it is almost finished :(

ok so I am finally back in HK and kind of sad that the PCP program is officially finished by today, but I imposed a punishment day on myself as I didn't do anything on Tuesday as I lost half a day, didn't sleep on the the plane and couldn't just come home and say to my 3 children: oh mummy is back but has to do first her exercises, I think they would have killed me after not having me around for 2 weeks. Anyhow I am a bit disappointed about my physical status as I couldn't give everything the last 2 weeks as I broke my stupid toe and it is still very swollen and I am limping to the finish line. But hey ho I am feeling GREAT and I am getting a lot of compliments what is really very satisfying although the scale is not yet there where I would have liked it to be and the wedding dress only fits almost. It has been a tough time but I am now full of energy and I even discovered a recipe when I am in a bad mood, just go for a brisk walk and I feel much better. Tried and tested this morning as my dear hubby couldn't wait for his last message from his Guru- Patrick he is really brainwashed and gave me already a hard time yesterday because son nr 3 had an ice cream in the afternoon and wanted crisp in the evening and hubby said that is not very good for him but I have to mention that he has a beautiful body, muscly and no gram fed,really no gram!!! and he is full of energy- anyhow there was my husband in the morning at 5.00am checking his e-mail and waking his jet lagged wife, so not a good start for the morning, but the brisk walk worked wonders and i will keep that now in my mind if something is bugging me. So for today that is it from me, will write more when I finished in my terms the program and I will put up then some pictures although they want be as spectacular as my husband's, he looks really hot....I will better watch him from now....xxx

still alive but injured

so Blondie was in a hurry, cut the corner and autsch broke her little toe, so not a good start for day 80 and then I didn't manage do do any other exercises as my foot was hurting so much. Felt really bad, first day in 80 days where I didn't do any exercise and today it doesn't look better, but at least I went brisk limping for 30 min in the rain and hopefully I will manage to do all the exercises tonight. Dietwise i am probably eating too little as I always are too busy to have my snacks and as i am not exercising enough I don't think I deserve the full amount.... so lets hope tomorrow is a better day. Good night/day everybody xxx
