Day 1 in the No Carb House...

Started the diet today- There is no perfect day to start but seriously did it have to be the day after Cork won the All Ireland? I had to have a glass of vino or three to celebrate last night... I get the munchies big time the day after having a few but alas did not get any cravings today- Day 3 apparently is the toughest... so I better not get too confident just yet (",)

My first 30 minute intensive weight session was today with Chris. I was really nervous! Afraid I wasn't going to be fit enough, pan out or fall off a machine which totally would be down my street. It couldn't have gone better. Todays session was focusing on the upper body. It was tough but rewarding and Chris fell in helping with the weights when he thought I was under pressure and pushed me when he thought I could manage by myself.

On leaving the gym the muscles in my arms were shaking due to the workout or maybe the  shock of  them actually being used for the first time in months- so the drive home was fun. Found it extremely hard to turn the wheel of the car I felt like I had no power steering and don't even get me started on the effort it took to change gear... in my head I was giggling thinking where is Chris to fall in and help me now...

Tomorrow is an upper body session. Not sure who is doing the training but I guess that makes it interesting...

No Excercise or Alcohol 24 hrs before the test. No Eating or Drinking after 2 today- Gulp.. Im gonna have to wear my Gremlin/Mogwai/Gizmo rules Tshirt to make sure no one feeds me or gets me wet.

Who Ate All the Pies?

I did! Woo Hoo! Just back from a 2 week pie eating contest in Florida. Okay it was technically called a "Holiday" but it felt like a pie eating competion to me! Seriously someone has to tell those peeps to stop adding sugar to everything!
Have to keep reminding myself to stop going off the subject- I have the attention span of a goldfish sometimes...
I am on the count down to the 12 week course in Planet Health Club-
