My Gasoline Rainbow

One of the amazing things about living on the Gold Coast is having the water right across the road, it also means that there is no excuse for having an amazing view when exercising... So on our third session yesterday Brendan and I did interval training along the beautiful broadwater near my house as we talked about how things have been going as we approach the end of my first week with him. It's been a massive change to my lifestyle already, integrating exercise and a new healthy eating plan limiting my kilojoule intake but I can feel the differences already, both positive and negative... I've been sleeping better, I'm eating more food which is great, and eating healthier however, due to the fact I've cut out a lot of sugar I've been getting more headaches which hasn't been much fun but the detoxification is a mild sacrifice in the long run.

For those of you that are new to My Gasoline Rainbow.... there's no need to go into the details, needless to say that i'm very excited to announce that I now have a new Personal Trainer in the name of Brendan Junge from In Motion Health + Fitness. Brendan - my second chance Brendan contacted me after a mutual friend, also a PT who works for him, mentioned my situation. After a general introduction and an interest in taking on the role of my PT we agreed to meet up. His persistence was impressive, regular contact to check my availability to co-ordinate a time to meet that was convenient with me. However with the chaos of Gold Coast Fashion Week and my broken toe we held off and had our first meeting this Monday just gone. To add even more impression and flexibility Brendan came up to ...
