Hi all again. Well this week was quite tough for training. Between my last post and this Tuesday, training was minimal and to be honest Ill put that down to tiredness (the mind was willing the body was not). What I learned this week was that you have to force yourself and fight off fatigue, the first few mins will be tough but once you get into a good rhythm you shall succeed and you will probably end up doing an hour instead of 30 mins!
I met Laura twice this week as previously arranged which also included my second weigh in… it was not as good as i hoped (i was up 1 pound) 
but im not looking at this as a negative it encourages me to work harder and really push myself so laura did the following with me this week. Wednesday was quite hard as i was a little diappointed with myself after last weeks success but today (Thursday) i was ready to take on anything!! Here ill detail my training with Laura.
Wednesday :
Base training which included 20 mins on the treadmill walking/jogging 2 mins intervals and about 10 mins on the spin bike
Some weights using high reps (was on 20 reps last week pushed up to 25 this week yay!!) working on upper and lower body sequences to help burn fat faster.
When I left Laura Wednesday I walked home (1hour 15mins). I was exausted and ready for just my bed, but as result i woke up bright eyed and ready for anything today!
Thursdays training:
Today we did some circuit like training – we started off with running machine with in incline of 4 for 6 mins then moved on to rowing machine for 6 mins (making sure i keep correct posture and pushing with my heels). I then moved onto the spin bike and cycled for about 3 mins sitting and 3 mins standing on a challenging setting. Next step was to move onto my 30 lunges and 30 squats, boy oh boy where they hard going! You really feel it on your legs!! I also learned a new excercise using a kettle ball like what Geri Halliwell uses, this helps to tone whole body.
My last two excercises where reverse curls these help to tone the backs of legs and some ball work to help tone lower abdominals this was hard going but felt fantastic!!
After training Laura gave me a diet plan to follow for next two weeks to help loose weight and keep it off healthly but fast. I want to be down again by the time i post my next blog! You can see a sample of my diet under the nutrition tab on my profile. It all looks delicious and not your typical “rabbit food” diet.
Im meeting Laura again next Monday so between now and then im going to watch everything i eat try and stick to Lauras advice and get some my own training in with walking and some ball work.
Wish me luck!!
