New Year, New You - Initial Weigh In day!

Phew what a day!
After arriving at the gym, our lucky (well maybe not so lucky hee hee) winners of the body4u New Year New You promotion Greg (who was giving up his birthday)and Annette were suddenly thrown into life as super models. Cameras clicked, flashes flashed and smiles shone. With our 'before' photos completed it was into the consult room for weigh ins and measurements. A video diary interview with our lovely Bonnie Somers at her journalistic best and the morning activities were completed.
We all then met at the IGA in Cleveland where the grocery shopping fun was to begin. Trolleys at the ready and into the fruit and veggie area we ventured, nice and safe here with colours galore and no restrictions on what Greg and Annette could put into their trollies. Fresh lean meats next and then the tricky part as we venture deeper into the supermarket jungle. What nasty little surprises awaited - Oh no mint slice biscuits (better grab 3 packets they are on special!), "no Greg don't do it" his hand edges nearer but his will power kicks in and the danger passes. I force Annette to bring me the bag of chippies she would normally buy for herself (she didn't want to do it - good girl but she had to) and proceed to dissect the nutritional panel, (talk about make something that tastes so yummy sound really bad I am soooooo good at that) of course the bag went back onto its nesting place snuggly settled amongst all the other fat and salt disguised as sliced potatoes in tempting flavours. We examine nutrition panels, compare products and at the end of our adventure have the best looking trollies in the shop. Through the checkout where the IGA team looked after us and back out into the world again.
Training Plan, eating and exercise diaries in hand, healthy groceries in the boot and we are set to begin the 8 weeks ahead. Good luck guys and we will see you in the gym on Monday.
