Oh just as an aside, I was worried about transitioning at the gym, I am a long term member and I never do classes, which most of the woman do, I do my own routines, aerobic and weights, and get help for new stuff from PTs as needed. So I'm mainly with the guys, who have watched me change from a rather wimpy guy to me; that is me in the avatar, very recent.
They have been totally and utterly fantastic. Few of the guys talk to me except for Hi, but that seems normal for the muscle boys and other woman. But goddess they are protective. There are some machines that need weights loaded and I can no longer lift them (upper body has gone beautifully), even though my legs can work them. I just say please can someone help and they are loaded and unloaded. One poor person, a newcomer, tried to insult me (when I was very much in between) two guys just took him aside, said something and he left. Never to return.
Diet.
Mmm totally changed. Lots of water, Spiro does that ! I have to have three meal a day.
Breakfast: usually scrambled eggs on toast.
Lunch: sandwich, usually meat and salad, with fruit and a yoghurt. I also like tuna or salmon instead of meat.
Dinner: usually meat and veggies, Italian- pasta etc, lots of carbs, lots of vegies.
No snacks. never eat dessert.
Sleep? Usually to bed 9-9.30pm , get up at 12am ish go through posts (a Mods life
) back to bed at 2am up at 6 am. Feel great.
Sorry if I got side tracked!
