Rumble, grumble.................

Thunder and lightning greeted me when I came out of the gym this afternoon.

I'd just finished my new workout from my trainer and as usual she had managed to write a program to elicit the most pain! But a good pain I might add. I'm getting better at doing push ups but by the third set of 15 my arms are wobbling so much there is always the chance of falling flat on my face. I skipped the seated calf raises today because my calves are still sore from the workout the other day plus my 'run' yesterday.

The weights session was followed by 20mins on the xtrainer and I strategically placed myself on the machine closest to the fan. It wasn't long before the sweat was dripping off me. Honestly by the time I finish my session I look like I've been swimming.

The title of my entry doesn't only relate to the thunder happening this afternoon, but also to my stomach. I've been starving since the gym even though I've had a post-workout snack and dinner. Visions of chocolate and Magnum ice cream occupy my thoughts........

Think I'll grab my book (The Girl Who Played with Fire - Stieg Larssen) and head off to bed.

I've been hungry ever since my run this morning and I have just been pigging out on anything sweet I could find - think I too will go to bed and read. It's safer there!!

I can do 12 push ups at best, once. After that, give up. I bet you don't invite your trainer to your next birthday party.

We'll have to start calling you 'Arnie Arms' ;)

I'm off Magnums ever since I heard on the radio one Magnum has more fat than a small roast chicken.
