Losing weight/fitness thread

[PaulMdj]

10 mile today, lovely morning on the coast, bit breezy, but plsnned the route so it was behind me on the 2nd 5.

Just over 1:33:00, 9:20 pace, pleased with that.

Shows where my motivation is right now that I’m writing this just getting back from the gym. Pushing the weights up a little more now and the cardio is feeling easier, so it’s all working.

I’ve had to order some 34” golf shorts as my 36” gear is now too big
Can’t remember the last time I was a 34” waist

I seriously need to find motivation I’ve trained about 4 times in 3 weeks. For someone that’s usually 6 days a week I’ve just lot all desire. Was seeing good progress but the hip and shoulder has just made me lose my mojo. Need to start again this week and aim for consistency over motivation I think.

I totally get it. My constant long term shoulder issues just make me switch off. I sit down all day for the job and sometimes when the shoulder gets me down, I can’t be bothered to go for a walk

Starting a new job role today which has also had my focus rather than training. Problem is it’s a much more sedentary role than I’m used to, so need to sort myself out and get some consistency.

Nice new attractive colleague and you'll be straight in the gym again

Well flirting with students is frowned upon so might not go down well

1 mile warm up and 1 mile cool down with a 5 mile run/walk/run with the lads inbetween.

Lovely evening run, especially after we’d had a few downpours during the day.

 

[SteveW86]

Another session down tonight. Positive strides in the right direction

Finally got my arse back in the gym. Upper body strength and conditioning along with my compulsory hip exercises I have to do. Weirdly didn’t seem as week as I’d expected but got a proper sweat on at the end.

First time under 100kg since we came out of covid - I came out fat.

Goal is not far away at 95kg, which is my perfect weight (not according to health charts, but what I am happy at).

Lovely early session in the new work gym this morning. Doing my hip and shoulder mobility sessions. Everything is so tight and highlights I’ve been lazy but the set up in the gym is unreal will make going so much easier as so many options.

Also buoyed by the fact one of the staff was blaring out North London forever on the speaker system to annoy all the northerners

Nice 10 miler after work and a thumbs up from one of the Wolves players who looked terrified that he was going to get told how dreadful they'd been for 100th time.

Good weights session for me today on the vessel.
Hopefully have a consistent 3 weeks.

 

[Bazz]

Seems I've had a great week, 3lb off. 13st 7lb, my lowest ever.

 

[BrianM]

Another decent weights session this morning, incorporating toe / calf raises for these shin splints.

 

[Lucifer MorningStar]

Lower body yesterday felt pretty good and pretty strong.

Mobility today as per physio. It’s crippled me . Soon as I have to do the supposed easy stuff for my hip and shoulder I feel battered for days after.

My shoulder and neck are so tight and feel like they did weeks ago and my hip feels like an 80 year old. I hate bloody injuries especially when they don’t feel like they’re getting better.

 

[PaulMdj]

Long slow run today, just longer and slower than what I intend, misjudged my route and ended up doing 11 miles

Absolutely knackered.

Following an official diagnosis of artritis in my knee a couple of months ago, I followed orders and stopped running. Pulled out of Lincoln 10k.

As part of Wellness UK, I got a discounted gym membership and started cardio and leg work under the physio's program.

6 weeks ago, I got a Durolane injection, which essentially injects thick fluid in the knee to become a lubricant and shock absorber. Can take several weeks to work, and for first 2 weeks my knee was worse than before the injection. But, almost overnight after that, it suddenly felt perfect. No stiffness, no pain. Like having the knee of a child.

The physio has given me a program to get back into running. First one tonight. Just a simply walk / light jog interval session. Found a nice big grass area to reduce impact, beautiful evening. Nice to be out there again
