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

No change, as in no scales to weigh myself.

I can't actually move onto the scales properly. So do you worst, you fiend ...

Only 5 walks this week not the usual 6 but still managed to cover a respectable 31 miles. Weight same as last week at 10st 7lbs.

I didn't retire from work until I was 70 and was that weight then, but since retirement I gradually put on weight up to 11st 10lbs. I decided to cut out alcohol and keep a close eye on what I ate and in 6 months I'm back down to my fighting weight and feeling great. I think the most important change was the alcohol abstinence, from being a 4 or 5 bottles of wine a week person to zero intake has not only helped me reduce weight but has also helped my overall fitness and general well being. I've also saved a few quid☺ which being a Yorkshireman is the most important thing.

155.4Kgs today

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!

NHS Health check today (free for the over 40's).  No real surprises, except I'm shorter than I thought.  Blood pressure is high, cholesterol is iffy, BMI massive but cardiovascular risk score is in the low bracket.  

Full Blood tests tomorrow which will probably give me diabetes too!

Boxing this morning, and then my first ever vinyasa yoga session tonight. Full of women and hippies, the yoga not the boxing, but it was actually a nice way to wind the day down.

My new ISC rugby shirt is XXL and is much too small, my last ISC rugby shirt was 4XL. However I assumed it would be too small so I'm using it as a target to fit in it.

(I also bought an Under Armour XXL football shirt and it is a little snug but stretchy, the difference in sizes between manufacturers is marked.)

You just need to gain about 2 foot 6 in height.

I'm having to stick to 1500 to get my weight down, 2000 for maintenance.

That's the cardio gym done. Still keeping up training at least every other day with decent walks when I can on rest days. Past experience shows once you miss a few consecutive days then it's hard to get going.

I think that's very true. I also find it easier to decide in advance what you are going to do as it takes the thinking about it away and you just automatically do it, for instance I know now that next week I am going to the gym Mon/Wed/Fri morning so I will just get up have breakfast and go.

Hotel and late hours is limiting me to exercise in the hotel room. YouTube is great 

Might be worth considering investing in some resistance bands, you can pick a pair up for around a tenner, they're light and take up hardly any room in your bag but vastly increase the range of exercises you can do in a hotel room.

That's still pretty hefty even in kilos. How big is that kayak?
