Gym update

No spa today, alas, as my pass is an off peak pass which only entitles me to go Mondays to Thursdays. It's just as well as I can't go at the weekend anyway, with the Smudgelet being around. I'm blowed if I'm going to pay £15 for him to come as well and spoil my relaxation! ;)

But instead I had my final session at the gym. I was dreading it - I know I've hardly lost any weight at all. Well, I had. I'd done really really well, but then Christmas seemed to scupper it. Eight pounds lost, seven pounds regained - and I didn't even overindulge much at all. Sheer idleness must have been to blame. And since then, despite me being really quite (well, quite, anyway) good, the weight just seems to have settled down for the duration.

I was right. Since the start of the whole One Journey, I've lost about three pounds in total. Pah!

But

I've lost loads of inches. Or I would have done, if they didn't insist on measuring in centimetres. I suppose it's better really as then they can include even the smallest millimetre difference which goes to make me happier. Arms, thighs, hips, and even my bulgy tum (he was far too polite to suggest measuring the other vital statistic - either that or he hadn't got a tape measure long enough) all at least a centimetre smaller in circumference, some even more. (Adding together all the cms lost came to 20cm!). You can congratulate me now, if you wish.

And the good news is, I CAN sign up for another five week course, and I'm not the first person to suggest it. So I go next Friday for a new weighing and measuring and target setting session and then, with no interference from Christmas, I GO FOR IT. There's a thinner me in there somewhere! :D
