Six-week weight loss management course

Castle Leisure Club is hosting a six-week camp commencing on Monday August 11, which aims to provide the necessary information and physical requirements essential for reducing your weight and making you feel great on your special day.

Well we’ve two classes down and 16 to go and I feel fantastic. We had Mark putting us through our paces on night one with a strenuous circuits class and Nicola ensured our butts weren’t left out on Tuesday with a spinning class. Still wearing the track of the saddle but as they say no pain no gain.

Two weeks almost over and I’d say we’ve just about completed every class there is on offer. From circuits to spinning, aerobics to aqua aerobics the staff at Castle Leisure Club are fairly putting us through our paces and every ache and pain I feel in my weary body today is testament to the hard work and dedication they have shown us.

Well readers, my Operation Alteration journey has hit a small stumbling block. The delicate matter of an inflamed nerve in my back (yes it’s as sore as it sounds), means I’m limited in what exercise I can do. But fear not, this course is all encompassing and while I may have to shelve the classes for a week, I’ve not been given any reprieve from filling out food diaries and that must continue with care and diligence.

As I sit here at my desk eating a healthy pitta while savouring the taste of the tikka mayonnaise, the words “Mayo is now banned” are ringing in my ears.

It’s week six and Operation Alteration is all over for another session and what a programme it’s been. There have been highs - weeks with food diaries looking very healthy and participation at classes and the gym at 100 per cent, and lows - a week where a sore back meant my exclusion from the programme. But over all it’s been a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
