Progress

I saw that Kristi did a side by side picture from day 0 to week 8. There is just nothing to say.

Day 56

First day bak to real life. Not liking it so much...

I'll show you a couple of pictures taken with my iphone (that say a lot more than words) about last week.

This was our dining room.

The place where wonderful food was created.

My absolutely delicious indulgence number 2.

Our alternative dinning room.

Finally the place where I did my exercise in the morning the a gorgeous view of the ocean in the back.

Day 50

Right now I'm sitting by the beach watching the sun come down having a glass of milk while my girfriend enjoys a whiskey. this is kind of the perfect place to PCP. im doing exercise in the morinigs before it is to hot . Had to skip 2 days since it took us 20 hours to get here because of rocks folling on the road. Diet has been fairly easy as the crew of 7 very helpful ladies that cook and clean the place have been extreamly considerated. It was perfect that indulgence no. 2 came this week and i enjoyed it yesterday. had a fried fish with cocunut rice and ... well i took a picture and when i get home ill show you. that's all for now from paradaise.

Day 45

As I've told you I will be leaving tomorrow to paradise. No electricity nor internet connection there. So I'll try to post something when a visit some towns nearby. Right now it's 3 pm in bogota and I'm getting some rest before I head to the hospital for a night at the delivery room.

Day 43

Ok so and terribly stressed out because of the delivery room clerkship last week on that. Last Friday I was so stressed that I came home from the hospital and did the 1400 jumps in one go. I understand that it is not to do every day but that day it felt really good. Almost couldn’t believe that I was able to accomplish that after I finished. While the jumps are doing great, today I did about 1800 jumps in the 2 minutes (it impossible for me not to count), the pushups are giving me a hard time I fail at about 50% and I have to do them with me knees on the floor, and even then I finish with my whole upper body …

Almost half way there and this time is tough on the mind. I have not yet been accustomed to the 1 hour exercise every day; however, PCP diet during the week seems completely natural. The problem is the weekend with big lunch invitation and parties going on till late night. .. the power of the mind.

This past week I was feeling very tired and I blame it on my very limited sleeping hours. But, next week is my last spring break. So I am going to make the best of it. Here is a picture of the place I’m going so that every single one of you feels like coming to Colombia. Check it out: www.elmatuy.com

Day 36

Yet another week has passed and time seems to be flying. This past week was in one word complicated.

I’ll start with school, for the next two week of my ob-gyn clerkship I will be on the delivery room of a public hospital in Bogota, yesterday first day, and lucky me, first night on-call (now I know I don’t like it) it was terrible, I felt horrible, at one point during the night there were 5 very young 17 to 21 year old women in labor yelling and screaming at nurses who where not very nice at them. The attending didn’t show up and the resident and the intern had tons and tons of work to do so they left me and a fellow med student on our first day with all those women and no clue. We did our best; I received three of them, two girls and one boy, all healthy newborns.

One the other hand exercise are really complicated when you star your day at 6 in the morning at rounds and finish it at 8:30 am the next day after rounds…. I slept almost all the afternoon today.  It would be like this once a week so I really have to be very organized. Yesterday I went blank on my jump rope because there was literally no 10 minutes to spare. I just finished my routine today and it’s getting tougher. Doing great with the rope series of 400-500 finishing in about 12 minutes with the 1400. But bicycle and plank… suffered them.

As I wrote last week I was waiting on my girlfriend to get better from the flu to have my indulgence with her. Things were complicated at the end of the week cause I had the ob-gyn theoretical exam on Friday and she had to study for exams both on Friday and during the weekend. To make the story short we were invited to my brother’s place one Saturday where I decided that my indulgence should be four hot BBQ chicken wings (I absolutely love them) and what happened … I felt sick all Sunday almost couldn’t do the exercise.

Well that about it for this week trying to go to bet early as I have to be at round in the hospital at 6 am.
