Compared to the last few weeks I had an awesome week at the gym! I had my usual Sunday morning session with Trevor. I did an 8-minute warmup on the bike (I did 5 minutes and then just carried on until he showed up) and then moved on to the treadmill for another 8 minutes. …
Again, not a great week! Trevor texted me on Saturday evening to cancel our Sunday morning session – something to do about a car he was buying. I was tired after the weekend and didn’t mind. I thought I’d try and go to the Shangri-La for yoga but couldn’t get up. I think the reason …
Another terrible week in terms of diet and exercise. I didn’t have my session with Trevor on Sunday as I was going to a wedding reception the night before and knew it would be a late night. I was so exhausted from the wedding – I think it took me a week to recover. I …
I had a terrible week in terms of exercise and diet! I had a session on Sunday morning with Trevor. After my 5-minute warm-up on the bike he told me I was going to do the following circuit: Treadmill x 400 m (5 km/h for the first minute, 7 km/h after that) Lateral pulldowns x …
I didn’t have my usual session with Trevor on Sunday morning. His parents were visiting from the UK and he asked me if I’d mind if we skipped it. Of course I didn’t mind. I even considered going to the gym on my own, but of course I didn’t. I went to yoga at the …
I didn’t have a session with Trevor on Sunday morning. I’d woken up that morning with a splitting headache and decided to cancel it. On Monday I went to yoga at the Shangri-La. My cousin decided to try out the class as well – and we were the only two people there. It was a …

I had to cancel my Sunday morning session with Trevor as I had to be in Sharjah by 10am and I wasn’t sure I’d be back in time. I got to Sharjah, had my blood test and X-ray and was done in about 20 minutes. The traffic coming back to Dubai was pretty bad and …
I had to cancel my session with Trevor on Sunday morning as I had to go to Sharjah for the medical tests (blood test and X-ray) for my visa renewal. I had to be there by 10am and wasn’t sure how long it would take. So I didn’t work out on Sunday. I didn’t work …
I cancelled my Sunday morning session with Trevor as I was still unwell. I was better, but I didn’t think I’d be well enough for that! By Monday I was feeling a lot better, apart from a slight cough. My cousin and I had yoga on Tuesday morning. The last class I’d had was at …
