A Paragon of Virtue

Well, as promised I have an update on my first PT (Personal Trainer) session which happened yesterday.

All went well, my friends are all telling me what a nit I am for not picking a gorgeous male trainer, I've gone for a nice friendly Australian lady called Tracy. Feeling as wobbly and lardy as I do, there was NO WAY I could cope with a male trainer.

So session one consisted of me "fessing up" to the food and alcohol I throw down my neck, didn't make for the best reading once it's all written down. In fact I have always thought food diaries were a waste of time. NO SIREEEEE, if you are feeling like you want to lose weight, do a food diary for a week, you'll wet yerself reading it on the last day. One day last week I ate 3 crumpets with butter and 5 slices of bread an butter (oopsy!!)

Any-hoo, we had a chat, she asked me what my goal was - which is "to try and lose weight" and we went off for a fast walk. That's all I need to do to burn fat, buy a heart monitor, and maintain a certain rate for 30 mins continous. We did 15 mins and it wasn't difficult and I felt great at the end.

We got home and did some stretches with the aid of a yoga belt (??) She asked me if I had one I replied " do I look like the kinda gal who has a yoga belt to you?" She admitted that I didn't look that type - ha ha!!

So all is going well, I have had lots more ideas for healthy eating from my nutrition session, so I am very conscious of what I am eating right now. Alan thinks I have gone bonkers. I went to the BEST health food shop today, full of totally "Right On" veggy types, lots of interesting stuff, unfortunately I had a whiny 6 year old in tow, who wasn't interested in herbs and grains.

Oh the radiotherapy is going well so far, only another 23 sessions to go........

Today is a little bit tinged with sadness, it would have been my brother's birthday today, he'd have been 39 bless him.

Laterz.....
