dv6

Football training Friday night, killer, lot of sprint work done. Stiff as a board on Saturday even after using ice bath 3 times after training.
Went for a short run and kick of ball again on Sunday morning, though hamstrings were still very tight.

Weekends at home aint the best on the diet front, big roast dinners hard to resist!

dv6

Football training again last night.

dv6

Went for a 5k run after work, some bodyweight exercises after this.

Weigh in -3lbs this week.

dv6

Football training on Friday night, was good, tough as usual.

All down hill from there though, horrendous weekend of Beer and dung food. Have a cold now on top of it all. More football training tonight, will see how much i can do, will either knock the cold outta me or make me a hundred times worse, we'll see.

dv6

Football training again last night, usual tough session. Getting it very hard to shake off this cold but gonna keep at stuff anyway, try to make up in some way for the disaster that was last weekend.

dv6

Ok, things have been slowly slipping over last couple weeks and came to a head last week. making up excuses not to go gymming and diet going out the window, so at least now, where i used to just slide from here the fact im monitoring everything has me focussed on pulling it together again, starting today.

Weekend wasnt bad, no beer or real bad food, football training and run on Saturday, another training sunday but wasnt much more than a light run out.

dv6

Been fairly consistent in gym lately, going every second evening roughly. Hard to fit in as football scehdule is busy these times.
Bought Dbs in Argos to have in house so can at least do some weights there instead of having to go to gym and queue to get certain dumbbells or a bench. Good weekend, no beer, diet solid and got out for a run on Saturday and Sunday

Haveing the dumbbells at home is great but feel my cardio work is slipping a bit, GAA training and matches few times a week is keeping this ticking over though. Will go for a run tonight.

dv6

Just went for a swim last night. Trainer promised a heavy training for tonight so didnt wanna be wrecked going into it.
Weigh in this morning for first time in a while. 30lbs done now since January. Happy enough with that seeing the amount of lapses ive had in between, just makes me think what i could have done if id been more disciplined.

dv6

Football training last night, after warmup all short sharp bursts of drills, still very tough.

gabgab

Keep it up DV,

The short sharp stuff is the worst too, good work
