What a buzz reading Patrick's final email. In fact all the daily emails have been immense and motivational.
Friday nights were always the hardest for me personally, but I got to accept no boozing much quicker than I thought. At the start it was the lack of food that troubled me, but at the end that switched to the fear of planks and v-sit ups. I really got comfortable with the diet after day 70-ish, in fact zero-fat natural yogurt with fruit and/or main meal is a serious pleasure.
I've learnt an awful lot on this project, I've always worked out 4-5 times a week but only ever maintained a weight and slowly but surely increased way into my 30's. PCP can help you actually work out less but achieve more. I will definitely be using most of the platform for maintenance and next steps, so many simple fixes that I never understood.
Dropped 12 kilos and knocking about 10% body fat. Really can't complain.
All your blogs have been great, congrats to all, and huge thanks to Roland for listening to my daily moaning and quoting me Winston Churchill at my lowest ebbs.
Patrick = legend, nuff said.
Well done mate!

ReplyDeleteThe difference from your day one photo is like night and day Nick. An amazing result, congratulations!
ReplyDeleteYou're the man Nick! Great transformation, you look 10 years younger. That kind of result isn't a fluke, it's because you got deep in the work and made the hard changes that your body needed. Congratulations and a well earned COMPLETE coming at ya! Keep in touch, great working with you!
