Day 90 completed!

Sorry I have been MIA in blogging!!  Since my last trip, things have been nonstop with the twins and daily maintenance, but I always tried to fit my exercises in and follow the diet as best as I can!

Looking back at the past 90 days, how time flies!!  When Patrick asked us to pick any workout from Week 1 or 2 for our Day 90 workout, I thought to myself: "That's it?  That's our Day 90 workout?"  I thought it was kind of a waste to finish off with an "easy" workout compared to what we have been given in the last few weeks.  But hey, after my 500 jumps, it was A PIECE OF CAKE!  I think the lesson learned is:  WE HAVE COME SO FAR IN THE PAST 90 DAYS!! I have learned some very valuable lessons and know more about my body than I otherwise would have known.  I now know a lot more about what different kinds of food do to our bodies, as well as how our bodies are tuned in to the kind of exercises that we do, and on a more personal level, what my body is actually capable of. We are definitely creatures of habit and each and every strain of muscle in our bodies succumb to the lifestyle that we choose for ourselves.

After these 90 days, I have a whole different perspective of skipping, pistol squats, push ups and planks to name a few!  2000+ jumps a day is just a "warm up", and I never would have thought I could do 2 minute planks (however torturing it may be!).  I even got compliments from personal trainers as I was doing my pistol squats at the back of the gym.  I think people were very curious to see what this short girl was doing at the back area all the time when everyone was acting very busy on the elliptical or treadmill, watching TV.

Well, I may not have achieved a six pack, nor lost tremendous weight like others in PCP had, but we all started at different places and were in different stages of life to begin with.  My body has definitely downsized from my post pregnancy state, when I used to feel constantly bloated and just plain unfit.  Yes I definitely had cheated a little bit here and a little bit there, especially when I was travelling, but I thoroughly enjoyed the PCP journey, and YES!  I have actually come to love the PAIN and the BURN!




A special thanks to Patrick and all my fellow PCPers this round.  I hope we will all continue to do what is best for our bodies and health going forward, and always be happy! :)

Looking forward to some vinos and beers on our Team get together on Thurs!

  1. YAY Terri. Great to know you made it to the end.

    I had a feeling that the day 90 workout would be easy as day 89 was so brutal.

    Enjoy the get together and have a wine for me.
