The long and short of it is this ... I weigh more than when I started the program (1 1/2 kilos) and I'm slightly fatter (D'oh !!!). The good thing is that my health has returned to where it was when I started and I can now run 1 hour on a treadmill, so technically, I'm very fit.
I think that I'm less-flexible (joints-wise) than when I started as I have been doing little to no Yoga, despite my best efforts to get to classes I rarely manage more than 1 a week.
However, I have fairly consistently managed to work out three times a week and run on the treadmill for four to five times a week, and now I am achieving seven days a week, for an hour at a time.
Now that I have taken an early retirement from work (for at least twelve months) I have more time to put into my exercise program, which is what I have been doing for the last couple of weeks.
From next week I will be attending every Pilates, Yoga, or Body Balance (a mixture of Pilates, Yoga and Tai-Chi) that the gym offers (about 6 or 7 a week) in an effort to stretch and strengthen my exhausted and very tight muscles.
I'm taking a brief break from my PT sessions to re-assess my goals and will be back into training in about a fortnight.
I have re-hung the bikini and am I re-focusing on my goal
