Friday morning and I’ve set the alarm so that I have time to shower and wash & dry my hair before I go to the gym as we are intending to go to Moraira market today. The fruit and veg is much better at the market than at the supermarket. However, helps if you set the alarm for AM rather than PM! I’m still very accustomed to getting up early so don’t really need the alarm which is a good thing.
Weigh in time – yay 400g lost, we are on our way to losing that 3 kgs.
It’s a good chest session today. 4 sets and 15 reps of each of
This is followed by 45 minutes of cardio – half on the stepper and half on the treadmill (walking) – this is the first time I have been able to walk more than 15 minutes without getting a pain behind my knee so that’s great progress.
Back at the gym tonite – 45 minutes on the cross trainer and that’s us done for the day.

A beautiful sunny Thursday – and I weigh in for my quest to lose the 3 kgs I have gained since my hip operation. The scales we have to hand are actually in stones and lbs (I’ll have to do the conversion on line as I have no idea what that reading means). 10 stone 6 lbs is equal to 66.2 kgs – see below.
Off to the gym and it’s leg day. I am trying to do legs every other day to build the strength and muscle that has been deteriorating since my hip replacement operation.
Leg press – feet wide and high followed by feet together
Calf raises
Leg extensions
Squats followed by a version of sissy squats – see the video for this example
Deadlifts
And finishing off with 45 minutes of cardio on the cross trainer.
The gym have started to sell supplements – they didn’t sell them last year when I was here. I don’t have any protein powder so ask for a sample of the one they are selling – the name escapes me right now but it was a peanut butter flavour – when I ask to buy a pack, they tell me they don’t have that flavour until next week – grrrrr. So, I don’t buy any and will wait for that to come in.
I am off back to the gym this afternoon when it re-opens after siesta at 5 pm for another 45 minutes of cardio – I will get rid of this 3 kgs.
