Day 90 - A brave new world...

These past 90 days have been an exciting ride. In the past 90 days I've managed to start a new job, get married to GT and complete the PCP! After getting married, and now that PCP is over thing should hopefully start to wind down a bit...

The final pictures for GT & I. We've also already uploaded the final stock standard front/side/back pictures on the flickr side bar. Looks like both of us have lost a bit of weight over the past 90 days. My trousers were not particularly tight to begin with, but now there's a few inches to spare - I've also had to cut my belts for them to still fit.
Greenie's progresss in the beginning wasn't as dramatic, and she was worried that PCP "wasn''t doing it for her", but surely enough, about half way in she began losing the fat around her belly, and now she also has a few inches to spare.


Overall, I think PCP has also given us more structure and discipline in eating and exercise. It's funny in that some of the things stated were obvious to begin with, but sometimes it takes someone to tell you before you go about doing it the right way. Some things were less obvious and so this has also been a good learning experience. Eitherways, it's an eye-opener when you look at what's happening out there in the world - I read an article yesterday on SCMP.com - Balloon goes up on obesity problem - close to 50% of people in my age band now are apparently overweight in Hong Kong, so Asia is not immune from obesity and depressingly every second person (almost) my age is overweight; a sobering statistic. Even worse reading about all the stuff the government is trying to do about it in coming up with new ways or labelling packaged foods as being red amber or green in colour to let people know if they're good for you or not... why don't we just label any foods which need a label as being red - or educate people to think that way, they we wouldn't have to waste countless dollars and time coming up with silly schemes like this.... *sigh~

Anyways, onwards and upwards to bigger and better things - perhaps GT would like to post her own refelections on post-PCP, but from me, it's time to get out there and live life!

Signing out for the last time....

  1. You two nailed PCP! It's been great following along on the journey. You all didn't have much fat to lose to begin with, but you sure "chiseled" up and look lean and mean in a good way.

    It does seem like women take longer to start losing the fat, but it does come off eventually.

    I'm very impressed that you all were able to do this program during your wedding time! Still love the pistol squat photo of Greenie in her pumps....a PCP classic!

    Great job G&W! You guys will succeed in whatever you do in life. Go have a great life in your new bodies & mind set.

    PS: Maybe we'll see you on future PCP programs?! That would be great.

  2. I have enjoyed following your blog entries and progress during the program. it is clear that both of you followed the program very closely and reaped the benefits. There were many days were I looked at your progress and excitement level as a means to keep me inspired.

    Thanks again for being great PCP role models!
