Nearly the end of Month 1
Well I’m nearly at the end of month 1 of personal training. My last session is tomorrow morning at 6.30am. As part of it I will be measuring
- weight
- body fat percentage
I have been monitoring my weight and first thing this morning I weighed in below 14 stone (13st, 13lb, 6oz) for the first time in 10 years. In kilos that is 89.2KG. I am well chuffed. I’ll wait to see how I meaure on Scott’s scales though before I really celebrate. I think I was 92.5KG at the start of the month (but that was in my running gear and 30 minutes after a bowl of porridge). This means my BMI is just over 25 - meaning I am still overweight but only just 
As for my body fat percentage, I haven’t had that measured since I was at school. It will be great to get a baseline with something to work towards for next month. I think it is going to be done with callipers rather than electronically, as the callipers are more accurate.
Leg training went well last night - weights are increasing each week and I can certainly tell today that I have been training. But I’m not in agony like the first week so it seems that we have the balance right. However, as we are at the end of the first month, we are going to change my routine about in order to “keep my body guessing”. No plateau for me!
