I'm in heaven

I arrived at Champneys in Forest Mere three hours ago and I love it. 

I booked a personal trainer session in advance to remind me why I was coming here, so instead of relaxing on a recliner in the sunshine I was almost immediately on the cross-trainer. After 42 seconds, I told Alan I'd had enough but he encouraged/distracted me sufficiently and I managed the whole 10 minutes. 

Then we did lots of fun things with one of those big exercise balls and by the end of the session I felt thoroughly motivated to work out. I'm going to book a personal trainer as soon as I return to civilian life in London. 

Lunch was a variety of gorgeous salads and I've just taken possession of the famous white robe. Massage at 4pm (sorry for showing off) and I'll take a power walk round the lake before dinner. 

I've decided on half an hour in the gym, half an hour aqua-fit and half an hour power walk a day during my stay. My personal trainer thought it a little ambitious but I'm feeling very focused. The only thing is, I miss Jonathan.
