1st Training Session

As I was getting ready this morning I wondered what I needed to wear. I knew included in the deal is a 'one to one' session to weigh and measure me, talk about goals, get a food diary and have some photos taken. I assumed this would be my first meeting with the trainers, before I took the plunge and actually started exercising. So although jeans were calling, I thought I would wear my sports gear just incase I had to bend and it would hopefully get me into 'focus' whilst I was chatting about the new body I was going to have in October.

I arrived at the sports ground dead on 9am and was so glad I had my exercise gear on as I met Bianca and Sasha and 3 other ladies and we started a training session. So I was thrown into it with quite a bang and was relieved I hadn't worn my jeans!


I realised after a warm up, training with a netball and then running round some trees that I am incredibly unfit. However it not going to deter me. The session was really good and Bianca and Sasha were very supportive. They obviously know just how far to push people dependent on their fitness levels and what they want to achieve.

After today, my goals are to be able to run up the hill, instead of walking (but I am really happy Bianca, just so you know, walking for the near future!!) and being able to touch my toes with ease and do the stretches without a roll of fat in the way and my knee bent!

I ate a healthy lunch of sushi rolls and had tea of a small bit of chicken and steamed vegetables. I will do some stretches tomorrow and go for a walk or do my exercise video so I don't seize up before Wednesdays session, but I have a feeling Wednesday will hurt!


Well you know what they say.... No pain - No gain!!
