Week 2: Settling in

Current weight: 114.3 kg
Weight loss: 0.3kg

This week I am starting to feel comfortable in the gym. I am getting more familiar with the equipment and the staff. I am also feeling like I can push myself a bit more. I have been increasing the level of the incline on the treadmill, increasing the resistance on the bike, and upping the weights that I am lifting. I am also starting to feel like I could handle a group class, so stay tuned.......
My two trainers are Tracey and Suzy and they've been great so far in helping me make some lifestyle changes. I have worked with Tracey the past 2 weeks with diet, fitness assessment and a fitness program. This morning I had a session with Suzy where we concentrated on working all my muscles, especially my core muscles. I have some good take home exercise to help me switch these on.
A major change in my diet is ensuring that I have protein in each meal/snack and have cut out a lot of junk food that is high in carbs. This week I have starting having cravings and in particular cheese and onion potato chips, however I am resisting! (even though it makes me grumpy). The one thing that keeps me going through the week is that I can have one meal where I don't have to think about what I am eating. Last week I treated myself to roti at an Indian restaurant. This week it will be going out to dinner with work friends and I am drooling already!
