2 July - I will try anything twice ...

... more if I like it. Apparently, as it says on my tshirt I wore today. 9am session with Zaid, 2nd morning of the month. 2 days is an improvement on 1 day.

Im really not a morning person, never mind a morning exercising person. I ate some almonds and drank some water on my way to the gym, hoping I wouldnt feel sick again after the hours session. I quite liked the gym that Zaid uses, people go there to do exercise and positivity, not for posing and comparing bits and outfits to each other, its refreshing. And I like it. And worth the 30 minute drive from the "dark side".

It was a tough session, moreso because there was alcohol in my system. Just doing the bike for 15 mins made me sweat those toxins out. The difference is doing the exercises with a PT compared to doing it alone, is I dont give up when the pain kicks in. When the pain kicks in (the burning muscles nothing crippling!), I would usually stop or lower the levels, instead Zaid increases the levels and ensures I dont give up and I keep going. For the full session, or the for the full amount of reps. We tried the leg machine, using just the right weak leg - using the machine with both legs would mean I would have used my stronger leg more and therefore the weak leg would not get pushed.

However, by the end of the session I was glad it was done, though I did feel like I enjoyed it. I did feel sick again but this time I had to shower and change before dashing to the garage for breakfast. 20mins later I was eating a chicken sandwich (brown bread, even though its higher in carbs!) and Pocari Sweat drink. Off to the spa I went. 2hours later I emerged glowing, then had a 45 minute physio/dry needling session - THAT should have come before the spa, its the most stressful and horrible 45mins to endure. The needle marks would be there for the next 24hours, back and right bumcheek! Oucha

Our deep sea fishing trip was cancelled, so we had time for a late lunch. I was told off by Zaid as he thought I had said I was having "fish and chips" , when I said our "fishing trip" was cancelled .. but I did in fact end up eating salmon and chips for lunch. Oops re the chips!!

Time for some chilled out time with MrsT and her lovely family, then time for home. What a fabulous 3 day weekend, I achieved 2 morning PT sessions, thats new! Now time for something new again tomorrow, my new job : ). Tata for now xx
