Well back about 3 moths ago I wrote this .... I had a body analysis and was all down at being a lard arse (or as Special K like to say "Overfat!").
Today I went back for a re-assesment.
Weight - down 8lb!
Blood pressure - down
RHR - down (read as 46!)
Body measurements - down
Body fat - down
All good.
Body fat not as down as hoped (even the lady said that she was surprised) and lean mass is down too (not good).
So yep I'm healthier. She also agreed that the NHS lady was nuts saying reduce calories to 1500 and not to allow for exercise. She also suggested to increase resistence exercise, and perhaps try 30mins of circuits at home.
I will go back just before Christmas and have another review and also I can speak/mail her which is good.
In the meantime:
tonight I have 5:1X2, 20:1x1, 5:1x2 (45 mins!) of steady run to do - will report back later.
Mid Day Update!
Just found that I can get some wood this weekend for a veggie bed .... and about £10 or less for the wood whereas I was expecting like £20-30 total! So well pleased!
So weekend will be collect wood, dig garden (lots and lots needed!) and try to make this bed. Glad I did my run Monday now!!
Strangly excited now!
Evening Update!
Just back from my run and really pleased!
45mins of 5:1X2, 20:1x1, 5:1x2 with a cool down giving a total distance of 4m.
The 45mins covered 3.735m which was an average pace of 12.08mm!! The 3rd mile was the slowest but it was all uphill!
I am so pleased!
Just one downer .... almost home, doing sub 10mm pace (down hill!) and a little girl says "Hello!", I reply "Hello!" and carry on, then she says "Why are you jogging??" The best I could manage was "to stay fit!" but I was doing sub 10mm and I still look like I am jogging, do I look that bad!!??!
Shower calling now!
Cya!
