The T+7 Final Post

First of all, thanks to Patrick and Chen. PCP's been a great experience and I certainly feel I met my goal of getting into good shape. Some observations after 1 week off the diet:

Most restaurant food is more of a sauce than a food. What I mean is it's generally full of fat and has no fiber whatsoever. I actually doggie-bagged the main course from a local restaurant and spread it on bread at home.

Holy crap people eat a lot of salt. I had a meal at "Boston Chicken" figuring it'd be half-way healthy if one got the right sides. Incredible mountains of salt.

Lunch at a restaurant in a business district is not only unhealthy, but way more expensive than treating oneself to a fancy but PCP friendly bag lunch. Why eat a greasy bacon cheeseburger when for less money (and even less time, when you consider the lines!) you can pack a thick steak sandwich.

Jump-rope is fun and a pretty easy habit to keep.

Not so for the rest of the exercises. I'll need to work on that.

I still have no interest in sweets.

That being said, one can gain several kilos of water weight by eating a small amount of sugar and salt. Scales don't tell the story. Anyway, congrats again to my team--you all look fantastic. And to anyone reading this wondering whether they should give it a go, I say go for it. It's not easy, but I promise you won't regret it.
