Had my review yesterday with Richard to see what changes have happened in the 6 weeks ince I have been at the gym and in fact - NOT A LOT!
As you can see all the levels seem exactly the same as before - except a slight change in my diastolic BP. The level of body fat is now 34.5% (was 37%) and remains in the high category - not even in the above normal category! So when people tell me I don't need to loose any more weight - despite me telling them that I do - I will have to show them this page. I should be aiming to get to 23 - 28% body fat. I am ot sure that the gym attendance can account for this change as I have been loosing weight since I started so that is what accounts for the drop.
My peek flow was exactly the same -- he told me that i have not been getting breathless enough - ie not working hard enough - but I have its just that I know how to control my breathing - its what I tell women to do all day long!
So even though this review does not show much bodily changes ( I must have been very healthy to start with!) I know that I am increasing weights at the gym - lifting weights I could not have dreamed about when I started and can see some muscles appearing on my arms (along with the bat wings).
Richard went through some different gym equipment specifically to target my arms - and upped the weights on my leg weights so I will continue and see what if any difference there is at my next review at the end of January.
