Gym progress

Since returning from France, on working days I have been getting up at least an hour earlier every morning at about 6.00am and heading straight to the gym. This means I also get into work between 8.30 and 9.00am, which is well before most of my colleagues get in!

I am really determined to get rid of my spare tyres that I have been carrying around with me since my teens. Today I weighed in at just over 74Kg (11 stone 9). Clothes are fitting me better again, and I feel the benefits in everyday life!

Since France I have done no running outside of the gym. I don't consider this too bad as I am going to the gym more and I am building up my fitness, but as the weather is improving it is ideal to go running!

The weights regime that Anna, my trainer, has set me is getting easier, so today I fulfilled my requirements, then did an extra set on most machines at the next weight setting. That is after two weeks! I guess it's going to be a fine balance - I want to feel the benefits, but I don't want to give myself a hernia!
