Mama Mia

Had a really interesting day today.
I went to Bournemouth quite early and cycled to Christchurch for a session with PT Wil. It was a 'cards on the table' session. Wil has paniers on his bike that are a bit like Mary Poppins bag. You never know what is going to come out next. I remember one session we had a bike ride to the top of a big hill. I found it quite challenging but Wil, I didn't realise, had a whole gym in his paniers. He pulled out a mat, a gym ball complete with pump to inflate it, dumb bells, kettle weighs!! Was a little disappointed to see he didn't have a cross trainer in there as well.
Today's surprise, if not a bit shocking was he pulled out amongst everything else a pair of scales.

Can't hide what the scales say. It hasn't been going well. But i have started a new programme which I started this weekend and I am making significant progress.
Had a great chat with Wil and though it wasn't easy to understand why I keep going wrong I have made a real commitment to going forward. I am lucky to have a PT like Wil, who has loads of experience, patience and endurance.
Hopefully will be blogging more to let you all know how it's going.
So brilliant motivation and bloomin' hard work out. Feel like I can achieve goal. Feel like my sparkle is coming back.

I think this is why I have been so hesitant in working on my own PT knowledge and training, I haven't felt that I have been a shining example ....Well that's going to change.

I cycled back to Bournemouth this afternoon to see Gorgeous Stu and we went to see the film Mama Mia. I was a fan of Abba the first time around and can sing most of their songs to the point of embarrassment.
Oh but I loved the film. You have to go and see it. It's such a feel good movie. I felt like it was a big injection of fabulousness.
Stu and I sang our way through it, breaking off every now and then to shed a tear , all in all a really fun movie.
Meryl Streep is amazing and if you want to see Colin Firth in lurex and boas it's the film for you.

PS I want to slim down so I can wear dungarees like Meryl's!!!

Tomorrow I am going to see a medical herbalist to see if we can crack the headaches and maybe relieve my degenerating knees.
