Fabulous Food Day

Food wise I have had some delicous meals.
All  of them curtesy of my super husband.
He prepared breakfast and cooked  tea.
He bought me lunch too:)

The support I am getting from him is just
Fantastic.  He told me today he was very
impressed with how I am doing, both eating
and exercise wise.

So guess who is a Very Happy Bunny?

I had my fourth appointment at the gym this morning.
It was a new to me trainer, but I have seen her around the gym.
Her client's seem to do a lot of laughing.

She went through my programme with me, asking my
likes and dislikes in what I have been doing in the gym.
I told her I loved the rowing but hated the crosstrainer.
She said to leave the crosstrainer and not do anything I didn't enjoy.
She had me adding more weight to the resistance machines.
Boy it was hard work, but enjoyable.  She also taught me how to
breathe properly. Sounds daft but I hold my breath during
exercise and it is exhausting. So now I know how to breathe
and have divorced the crosstrainer.

Gym Induction Part Two

I had my second induction at the gym this evening. 
I have been going and doing the treadmill, rowing and the dreaded cross  trainer. Circumstances got in the way of part two, but I finally got to it today.

I was slightly perturbed when I found I was having a male trainer, but I need not have worried. Ste was a very nice mature guy, was dreading it being a young chap. He was about three inches shorter than me and of course slimmer, but he was very nice.
Anyway he put me through my paces on the Resistance machines. Five different ones, I enjoyed it strangely, but he warned me I may  be sore on Saturday:0(
I don't know if it is the same in most gyms, but there are more older people than younger at the moment.  I think the average age tonight was about 45. Last time I was a member the average age was around 29.

I am going to go every other day and walk on the days I don't. 

BACK in The GROOVE!!!!!

Yes it is True, she has been and gone and done it!!!

Was pretty painless for the most part, but I know the trainer was being gentle with me. It will get tougher on Saturday with my second session.

I did:
10 minutes on the cross trainer...that is a killer.
10 minutes on the treadmill...my heart rate went up to 144, but I was not feeling any strain or
breathlessness.
1000 metres on the rowing machine which I loved, could have gone on and done more.

Must say that walking home my legs did not feel as though they belonged to me.


So 9am Saturday morning is the second part of the induction, I am looking forward to it. I am,
really, don't look like that...I am.....

I really haven't had time to visit any blogs since getting back from Scotland but I hope to catch up with what everyone has been doing over the weekend tomorrow.

I have my first Wednesday weigh in tomorrow too.
Was weighed at the gym tonight and was not to displeased, but will go by my faithful scales in the morning.

So off to bed I go..night night
