    Had a Gaelic match last night so didnt wanna do too much on Tuesday, went to local pitch, bit of a run for warmup. then some exercises with the ball, done some sprinting, warm down and home.

    Played that match then yesterday, was a tough game and legs feeling it today but back to the weights tonight.

    Bad weekend beer, diet and exercise wise. Felt like crap yesterday, went for a 5k run. Tried to do some weights at home but my shoulder is very sore and was preventing me from doing most exercises.

    Drove home for gaelic training last night. All well until near the end went in to a 50/50 ball and got a really bad dead leg. Very stiff and sore this morning so dont think ill be doing much for next couple days, have big game coming up soon, dont wanna make it worse.

    Dead leg has prevented any cardio work beyond going for the odd slow walk, should i say hop cause of the limp. Got vaccines for South East Asia on Wednesday too and not allowed to lift after them seemingly so couldnt even do upper body work. Weighed in this morning and still managed to be 1lb down this week, so happy enough with that.

    Wow havent updated this in nearly a month. Been keeping up the regular exercise, weights and cardio. This will probably be my last post, finishing up work and heading on a RTW trip for a year.
    Started out this time last year trying to lose weight, was 220lb, started this log in January and honestly say couldnt have continued without it and the fantastic resource that is the forum. Finishing up now at 161lb and never felt better, well wont say finishing, just finishing this log.
    Again thanks to everyone who has given advice or support along the way, couldnt have done it without ye all.
