Day Twelve: "Steady as she goes"

This is the Sugar Loaf in Rio de Janeiro. Just like the steep sides look impossible to scale, thinking about another seventy-eight days of weighed food and exercises is daunting--are we there yet? I know that the PCP is designed to help me get to that peak though, and that it has me on a path just as clear as the lines of the cable car. I just need the patience to stay on track and not look too far ahead. One. Day. At. A. Time.

I had a solid gym session mixed in with my PCP workout today. I need to get in at least one good weight workout a week and that, for me, falls on Wednesdays. Those squats were a lot more demanding with some weights on. I procured a new jump-rope as well. One of those Nike speed ropes that a few people have suggested we use here on the blog. A friend offered me his used one for free. Gave it a go and the handles are a bit heavier, but the rope is light. Seems like a pretty good combo. I should probably cut the length a little bit this weekend and switch to that full-time.
