And as we’re coming up to year end, I’m going to shamelessly toot my own horn as I’m damn proud of what I’ve achieved this year as far as getting my weight down, resetting my relations with food and hopefully for good as well.

Glad to find this thread and apologies for being a bit long winded.  After a spine injury 6 years ago that’s left my right lower leg and foot largely useless apart from the busted nerves giving me ran

I'm going up at the moment Bob.

Waist size still ok and I go to the gym to try to distribute it.

I am back at the gym after having a couple of bugs. It was hard work.

I had a yoke carry session this morning.

That piece of equipment seems to work nearly every part of my body.

I’m utterly exhausted now.

I successfully carried no fewer than twelve yokes yesterday...back from the supermarket...and the egg whites surrounding them!

You fitness fanatics and your egg-white omelettes!

Back in training now. I was OK on Friday, terrible in sparring on Sunday and dragged myself through the boxing training on Sunday. Not feeling 100%.

71.67 yesterday at the gym please Shadow. 

I had eaten less this week so back to the weight I like. 

Thanks for all your hard work Shadow over the year and for everyone else for their encouragement.

Well, after The Pain, I'm pleased to say I hit my revised target of 700km in the year yesterday. Strava now showing 700.1k which pleases me greatly.

I have the Hastings Half Marathon in March as a target for next year and we'll see how things feel after that.

My weight is still far too tubbysome - checking the start of the thread, I see I am 2lbs lighter than the start of the year but I think that's a margin of error change rather than anything else. I need to sort that out.

All in all, could be a lot worse, could be a bit better. But at least I'm still out there running.

Thanks guys, much appreciated!  This is me back in 2013 when the Wolverines beat the Tomahawks to win the Colonial Cup that year versus a couple of weeks ago.  Yes it's been no mean feat, had to dig into the mental reserves a lot but came down to disciplined choices at the end of the day.  No hacks, no shortcuts, just grinding the work out.

Was in at the gym on Boxing Day, sort of ###### off (a mate ended up in the pysch ward over Christmas week, long story) ended up doing 2.2km run which was 200m longer than my previous best.  Head was still going after doing weights so went back onto the track and ended up doing a full 3km.  Nice to be over halfway to my 5km 2020 goal before 2020 even gets here! LOL

I’m in, but can’t weigh in till the weekend.

With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on!

Thank you Shadow. You do a great job with the weights.

71.67 is my weight at the moment though that's low for me.

I'll be converting everyone's weight to Kg for the purposes of the spreadsheet. If this really causes anyone grief I'll try to do a monthly comaprison in pounds and stone, if my Excel skilllz are up to it.

I’m in again, can’t weigh in until Sunday/Monday when I’m home again. I’ll try and stick with it longer this year, got a bit fed up of posting the same weight week after week last year.

Appalling greed and laziness since September sees me kick off the NewYear at 81.3, having  got down to 73kg last Spring. Back on it again.
