Day 84 - EPIC indulgence FAIL

The time had come. The Champions League final and some cold beer. The beer tasted wonderful and I had a great time. But, alas....can you guess what comes next? The last indulgence of the PCP is test of sorts. Patrick basically says go out and do something you did before the PCP and indulge and observe how your body reacts. What did I observe? The inside of my bathroom. It's white and the tile is cold. Yes, I threw up for most of the night. Then around 3:30am I had another round. Then again around 6:30 before finally sleeping till 9:30. I was then able to actually eat something and begin the final stages of the recovery process. Thankfully, the rest of the day was kind. As my son and I visited my parents and my brothers and I had an awesome game of wiffle ball in the yard.

The drive to and fro is a good hour so I had plenty of time to reflect on the events of the previous night and early morning. The sickness the beer brought on is an important reminder and lesson for me. Throwing up goes to the heart of why I choose the PCP and the changes I am embracing in my life. I've emerged with a different body and the choices I made in the past cannot be the ones I make in the future. The day 1 picture shows those old choices and the day 90 picture will show the new choices. It's simply, a no-brainer.

I'm ready to tackle the last 5 days of the PCP!!! Go Team Go!!! Let's give 110%!!!

  2. Any man who can learn a life lesson from praying to the porcelain god is a HERO! Your son and soon-to-be-#2 have a great dad. Now: rock these last five days!

  3. Pat, for the record, it was 4 beers w/ bubbles. So, your bubble theory is spot on.
