"It's all the same.... Only the names have changed..."
I had a trial gym session tonight.... Been a slow day because football was cancelled this morning, so that was my daily exercise out the window. Just as well... It's fair to say that the lack of exercise over Christmas hasn't helped my general level of fitness.
We went over to the Worcester Whitehouse Hotel and used their gym. I've got a 5 days of a 7 day trial left. The gym is ok, but the machines are old and could do with updating. It's also not very busy so that's good. We went fairly late in the day, and they closed at 8pm so I didn't have long to get some exercise in.
Managed 20 mins on the runner, 20 mins cross trainer (which was knackering) then 5 mins on the bike before doing some chest and shoulder press. I think ideally I need 90 mins in the gym to do the workout I want.
The food side of things is going well. Sarah has worked hard on figuring out the calories in the food we are eating, and we are keeping a diary to show what we've eaten and the calorie count which is great. I'm aiming for 2000 a day, and hoping to see some weight loss by cutting out 500 and doing exercise.
Back to work this week, should be fun, after almost 2 weeks off (except for the 5 or 6 disruptions I've had from helpdesk calls!)
More later in the week..!
