My uncanny impression of Bambi on Ice

Yes, that was me after my first PT weights session. Holy moly, my limbs were like water! It was so good though, I forgot how much I enjoy weights.

Going through a rehab programme initially for 3 weeks or so, to rebuild the muscles in my neck/shoulders/upper back and core, and then we'll move onto a strength-building programme.

Programme as follows:

Single leg dumbbells scaption 2 x 8 3kg d/b
Seated cable row 3 x 7 28kg
Swiss ball chest press 3 x 8 6kg d/b
Squat to press 2 x 7 4kg d/b - this I found unbelievably hard as my muscles are so weak in my shoulders and lifting the dumbbells above my head was a killer, we actually had to reduce from 6kg dumbbells to 4kg!
Leg Press 3 x 6 60kg
Pushdowns 2 x 12 25kg

As for my food, well we took my dad to the golf club where there was a carvery. A carvery was quite a good option actually, as I had complete control over what was on my plate. it wasn't perfect but i think I did pretty damn well!

I have about 140 cals left but I am not stressing about eating those - I totally had to guesstimate my whole lunch and it may be a little out and don't want to risk going over. I'm not hungry anyway!
