Yesterday was my first PT session with Sporty Spice. It started well…..she has just got some new Labrador puppies and at 8 weeks they are adorable so I spent my pre session 10 mins just fussing the babies!

Ok, so then we DID exercise. Not, however before she did some “before” measurements. Oh boy! Apparently my BMI is in the healthy range, however my waist and hip measurements (especially hip) are size 14 heading to 16 and my body fat ratio is high so that’s the target to reduce.

I may have misquoted my height, as I thought I was taller, which means my BMI will be higher, but who is counting really?

The scarier part is my metabolic age, which is in fact 63! Erm, and that’s a shock, it confirms I need to look after my internal body far better.

So, an hour then of lunges, squats, dumbbell lifting and kettle bell swinging and I ached all over. I’ve homework to do each day and a recommendation to just eat healthily, no need to diet, just up the veg and reduce the ingredients aiming for simple food. Less ingredients in food good which is perfectly sensible.

Last night was very simple, some roast chicken and salad, washed down with half a bottle of wine. Red. So that’s healthy right?

Ok ok so I need to reduce the wine a little, but I did have an excuse, it being the eve of a number change – did I mention Birthday?
