Dropped about half the 25 pounds I’m targeting, mostly by eating less, drinking less and eating better.

Drinking less in most cases automatically results in eating less and eating better.
I’ve been guilty of gorging myself on fried foods etc while having drinks. Thats the prime reason of weight gain and not alcohol per se.
Been super lazy and unmotivated for months now.
Make a token effort occasionally, but don’t follow it up.
Only exercise I get these days is walking round a golf course.
But, it could be worse

Not feeling the urge to run the last week or so.
Just had a mild jog for around 50 min today , the heat simply is killing me (it’s around 40°C maximum temperature). Maybe would have been 36 ish when I took the run today.
Not a major morning person but the ideal time for running might just be the 5’30 in the morning run.
Just signed up to the Cancer Research UK Push Up Challenge.
100 press ups every day in April.
Hoping to combine it with a bit of walking/jogging and healthier eating.

Sorry if I’m a bit late on updates.
Fucked up my Achilles. It’s half torn.
Apparently the problem goes with the running shoes , there’s not enough support with the shoes I’ve picked on the Achilles.
This is fucking irritating, the Nike lunarglide series did provide that support for me which none of the following shoes do.
I’ve run through various shoes since then. And this is a fucking serious injury.
Long rant short, it’s become increasingly difficult to find substance over style (across all brands)
I feel your pain here. literally, I tore my achilles wearing a pair of Adi-zero about 8 years ago. they were just not comfortable on the back on the heel, there is so little to them for protection.
I wanted to find a replacement for my leather Ronaldinho’s, still the best I’ve ever worn. Haven’t been able to find a comfortable pair of cleats since then
for ball, I’ve been wearing Mizuno’s for years but I decided to try and wear Adi Terrex trail shoes in the outfield as they are lighter than my Mizuno and breathe better in the warmer weather.
felt a tug in my Achilles again two weeks ago, have had to cease almost my entire workout for that length as it’s all plyometric and calisthenics exercizes. just able to do some bench work and free weights.

I don’t want to drink anymore.
I feel more pain walking than I feel when I run.
I’ve been guilty of going for comfort too.
I don’t think I’ll be able to put it in the right words but somewhere, it’s about the shoe manufacturers and cost cutting.
I always feels I need to come on this thread to say one thing and always/almost always resist… but….
The answer is simple, eat less! Stick to 1500 calories per day on average and you cannot have a wobble. There is no need for magical potions, regimens or science.
Erm, calorie counting is absolutely science.
Now playing football 3 times a week. Got back into it as a mate mithered me to play walking football. Then got roped into the earlier full tilt game and have also added full pitch too. Took a while to not want to throw up every 5 minutes in sheer exhaustion and my body hurts like hell for a few days but god it’s fun. Can also eat and drink what I want now, hovering around 14st. I’m going to hit 50 like a train and keep going 
Granted I’m crap at football but the effort’s there
I wish I still played football - was a great way to get a work out without feeling you were working for it. I loved the training more than the game often times…
Personally, I’ve been up to 70 kg and down to 54 kg… I would say my healthy weight is around 60 kg. The one thing that is key is consuming less. What people think of as one meal is oftentimes well in excess of a whole day’s requirement in terms of nutritional need!

There’s quite a deep conversation about the realisation that we’re not the physical specimens we were. That’s why god invented beer
For once i agree with you. Personally, I find it really tough to come to terms with. Not so much on looks but performance levels. That being compounded by health issues isnt helping either especially when good habits arent rewarded.
Properly frustrating and a little heartbreaking to be honest.
Weird how the brain works. Dreamt last night that I pasted a load of students at a 10km cross country. As you do. Ah, literally I can dream.
Don’t be like I am with Blair. My stance is that as long as I disagree with him, I must be in the right. I admit it’s a stupid stance. Can’t help it though

In my case it doesn’t help being surrounded by some phenomally fit people all be it in quite a stealthy way.
In my “team” I’ve got a guy that runs ultra marathons, another that a 100mile bike ride is a normal day off affair, ex pro mountain biker, another who did the Barcelona iron man a few months ago, TA soldier who would love to go special forces, and to top it all a lad who is roughly 20 years my junior who started running 2-3 months ago. He now runs 80km a week and his marathon pace is 3.5 hours and a slow run is 9min per mile. He ran a casual 25km last night. Thats before we get to the lads that play football or just do fitness stuff.
Play in goal
Waterboy more my level.
