Not as bad as last week I guess
Need to refocus on midweek eating in particular. Delighted to get back into the gym last night. Now if I could just get a creamy pint into me normality would be resumed

Had pals over who we havent seen in months, there was a take away and up til 3:30am. Swimming lessons with the wee one at 8:30 was rough.
Then the next day I had a stag which started at 10:30am, to say I destroyed any progress is an understatement.
Sounds like a great week to me. You’ve no business feeling guilty about a stag

Cheers lads, after this weekend (was out last night), I will pull my socks up for three weeks. Im scared to say this but I'm the big 40 this weekend and I need to start looking after myself again.
Firstly, it's not as bad as it seems
I've been fitter in my 40's then my 30's and probably my mid/late 20's. Was chatting with a group of school friends, so all around mid 40's, in whats app, post Christian Eriksen incident, and all of us are drinking less, eating better and exercising more then we ever did.0 -

Same here. Mid 40s and all of us are generally fitter and healthier in our 40s. Kids are getting older and we have a little more time (and money) to look after ourselves now. Also we no longer feel as invincible as we did when we were younger so we're taking more care of ourselves.0 -

As someone coming out the other end of that particular decade the one thing I'll say to you is that old sporting injuries start to really wear you down, not to a bedridden state or anything like that, but niggles do appear & reappear & take longer to shift. I thought in my thirties after retiring from competitive sport that it would be easy to just keep fit & maintain weight with no injuries to get in the way... how wrong I was... I ultimately righted the increased weight bit but I will say that if you do put on weight in your 40's its a damn sight harder losing it again, anyone that says different is pulling your leg or an alien. Your metabolism definitely slows, for all my running, stretching, training etc I put on weight at the drop of a hat & have to work twice as hard to lose it again... oh and when training/exercisisng, even regularly, everything creaks, & I mean everything... my ankles, knees, hips, shoulders, back, neck... all feeling the effect of 25 years of sport & dozens of old injuries that have worn down the moving parts over the years. So be wary of going at stuff hammer & tongs... you might just pay for it in the following days....

Surprised and delighted to be posting a loss this week to be honest. Had a big night in the pub on Friday. First night back. Lovely warm evening in the beer garden and the Guinness was so good. Then there was Father’s Day for more treats and the cinema too. I think the gym saved me more than anything else though. 4 times again this week. Hopefully it’ll save me next week too as I have another night out planned

Just finished a leg session in the gym so thats a start.
Are chippers open at home? That will have a big affect on my weight after the holiday.

It was hilarious that you could buy vodka, but not children's shoes.
Hilarious for the drunk parents, probably not as funny to the poor shoeless child....
My kids' tracksuit bottoms were turning into shorts while I had a WhatsApp group called 'Saturday Drinking'.....ah.....good times....0 -
