Here I am back again! Back in April I got into the right frame of mind again to start losing weight, I rejoined the gym in March but hadn't used it much but from May I've been practically using it as my second home! I was also prescribed Xenical by my gp and started taking them after showing that I could follow a low fat diet. Xenical works by blocking a third of the fat getting into your system unfortunately there are some nasty side effects as if you eat too much fat it does need to go somewhere :s I will let you figure the rest out ;)
In July I discovered a product called HotPants, They were being offered 1/2 price on KGB Deals so I decided to give it a go! They arrived pretty much the next day and I couldn't wait to put them on!
Included in the packaging was information about taking part in a 2 week challenge so I had a look on Facebook and started posting! I also started following on Twitter before I knew it I was posting when I could these HotPants were amazing! During the 2 week challenge I think I lost about 2 inches from my thigh and 2 or 3 inches from my waist.
During the 2 week challenge Zaggora were running a competition to win a personal trainer for a year. For once me raving on about something came up trumps I was picked as a winner! I really couldn't have asked for a better prize!
On the 12th August I had my 1st session with Ben! We had a chat about my lifestyle and diet (I completely confused him with the Xenical because he had never heard of it!) etc and then went and hit the gym floor, he looked at my posture for squats and lunges etc then set me a program to follow when I'm working out on my own. The program is completely different to what I am used to, no cv equipment involved other than for a 5 min warm up! Although I now am allowed to do interval training on the rower or bike by rowing flat out for a minute and then resting for a minute, I now manage 10 minutes of this.
I now have a 30 min session with Ben a week. He always does something different and usually tries pushing me in some way, last nights session he wanted me to row 500m in 2.06mins - my forfeit if I didn't do it was to do 20 burpees - yes I managed to row the 500m in 2.04 :D In his words - I am a machine!!
