    On Monday, 19th October I weighed in at 108.2kg in my boxers.
    That's too heavy by far, even if I am 6'2''

    Suspect a lot of it is not muscle, both from appearance and due to the fact that I haven't been regularly lifting for some time now.

    At present, lack of funds restricts me from the gym so need to find a new plan of attack.

    Training for Rugby twice a week.
    Jogging is problematic due to weight causing pain in calf, shin and ankles. I also have shin splints, aggravated by continuous running.

    So I need to get back in the gym in order to lift, swim, cycle and row my way back to fitness.

    Currently rate about the lowest 5% for fitness in the rugby squad (even if I am a prop, that's not good enough!)

    Have to get bike back on the road as well.

    All this while in Final Year of college - but I'm going to get it done!

    So the target is Monday, 21st December to weigh in at 98kg.

    Exercise
    Rugby training twice a week
    Jog x3/week following beginner running programme
    Cycle x2/week
    Once I have the cash to get back in the gym change this up for lifting, rowing, swimming and cycling.

    Diet
    Changing my diet to focus more on protein, less on carbs.
    Have to drink less milk as it's pretty calorie dense and I drink a LOT of milk so new beverages of choice are Green Tea, Black Coffee and water.
    Alcohol intake to be reduced to nothing until weight reached.
    Friday is cheat day when I can eat a little junk just to keep the cravings away so I don't fall off the wagon entirely.

    I wouldn't call it very little as I've a portion of white meat and lean red meat each day, never mind the protein that is in all the other foodstuffs (albeit in smaller amounts)

    I usually supplement with protein shakes but as I'm out of the gym I don't think I could use the extra protein without lifting weights/resistance exercise.

    Though point taken, protein heavy snacks as opposed to carbohydrate heavy ones is something I may change - unfortunately protein is not as accessible as a snack.
