Week 1: (Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going - Jim Rohn)

Hello PCPers,

Completed the first week of PCP. To sum up the complete week, I can say:
1. Diet: Had no problem with the diet. Was able to eat half of the normal stuff and survive without any difficulty. The challenge with diet start today so looking forward to it. Cannot imagine cooking food without any salt. How will I eat it :(
2. Exercise: Squat, lunges, sit-up, leg-up were fine. Push-ups made me feel so weak. I could hardly complete the sets on day 1. Day 2,  I was unable to do a single repetition. So I just completed the sets in the evening. I need to work on this a lot.
3. Rope Jump: I never did a rope jump in my life so got a rope a few days before I started PCP and surprisingly I got comfortable with it in a couple of days. I can now jump around 60-70 jumps non-stop so quite happy with it.
Changes: I say this with no pride that I lost 2.5 kg in the first week. Starting with 84 kg, I stand at 81.5 at the end of week one. I was very happy with this result until I saw the mail that Patrick send out this weekend.
Challenges: Could not locate a proper pull-up bar near my area. I would like to ask your advice if we can get a portable bar which can be set up in the house. The Japanese houses are pretty delicate and I do not want to buy something which  would damage the walls or door and I cannot use. Any advice would be highly appreciated.

Summary: Week 1 ..so far so good......Week 2..Here I come !!!

Congratulations all for successfully completing Week 1 and all the best for week 2.
