I reckon she said yes but he couldn't get it up. That's what my money is on anyway. :eek:
Mate she's a physio. If she can't get it up for him then no-one will.

She let me down gently. Said it wouldn't be appropriate for her to see a patient. She was so nice about it. I felt like we just clicked, we have a great laugh together.

I'd tell her she's just lost my business.

n.b. what Physio do you see? I've got plantar fasciitis and a tight calf that I need sorting.

I'm never going to live it down am i?

Took the skin off one of my toes. Blood all over the place. I reckon the new running trainers are just ever so slightly small.

Don't we all get attracted to authority figures /teachers /medical staff etctetc.
Thinking of nurses in crisp white uniform here or blue nowadays.
Had a mate who was hospitalised a fair bit as a kid and he reckoned a woman in white was a bit of a fetishism /acted as an aphrodisiac. (seriously was a mate :p)
Was working up in Blackpool 8-10 years ago and went to a Club on the Friday night.
Woke up the next morning after raving until closing time, could not walk, knee fooked.
Off to the infirmary I went.
Gorgeous little blond nurse dealt with me, anyway ooh that touch!
Anyway turned out it Was housemaids knee.
I believe there are sites where Japanese nurses /dental technician types etc can be perused. :p

Get some fitted properly Marty otherwise you will screw yourself up with injury.

I have quite bad back problems and when I ran getting a proper pair of trainers, fitted at a running shop really helped. If you want to save on their costs I think you can pay to be fitted and then search for the trainers online cheaper afterwards.

Due to injury I run infrequently now, due to a sports hernia (regular tearing of groin) and stick to the Cross Trainer as lower impact on the advice of physio, and fitness instructor.

Whatever you do hope you stay injury free, and if something doesn't work like me just search for an alternative that does.

I was another who started with a plan of losing some weight - from 1st Jan I had a target of losing 25lbs by the end of April. It's going well, so far I've lost 17lbs or exactly 2/3 of the overall target, in less than half the time I set myself. At this rate, I'll be at my target weight by the MK Dons game. Here's the rules I am following:

1 – Just eat less – smaller portions, no dessert

2 – Do more exercise – 30 min minimum 4 times a week, plus 100 sit-ups per day

3 – No junk e.g. crisps, chocolate etc and reduce carbs/fat like bread and cheese

4 – No snacking except healthy snacks e.g. carrot, cucumber, celery – or hang on til mealtimes

5 – Don’t eat out of routine or boredom

6 – Don’t eat everything just because it’s there – only eat until you’re not hungry any more, don’t keep going until you’re stuffed

7 – Cut out the booze

8 – Cut out milk, fizzy sugary drinks, squash and juice

9 – Where possible, eat during the “golden hour” after exercise

10 – Just say NO to temptation!

11 – Resist the hunger, feel the burn as it evaporate those fat cells

12 – 5/6 fruit/veg per day - I have grapes for breakfast along with cereal (non-sugar corn flakes), apple and carrot mid-morning, cucumber and celery mid-afternoon, orange around 5pm or in the evening after dinner

13 – make sure meals are healthy and wholesome – brown pasta, cut down the cheese

14 – no takaways like chips, Indian, Chinese etc

15 – STICK TO IT !!

I can feel it getting harder as I have already lost the "low hanging fruit" of the Christmas period (from Oxford away to NYE) where I did no exercise, ate loads of junk food and boozed every day - I'm still overweight but the progress is getting harder as simply going back to normal won't see me lose more weight - I have to go the extra mile to remove the final third. But I know I can do it!

EDIT - oh yeah I forgot to mention I'm having soup for lunch 5 days a week!

yeah this is week 1 for me though after 2.5 months off. gonna have DOMS for a week or so
Rather than implementing all the things I have written above in one go, it might make more sense to make the changes incrementally e.g.

week 1 - cut out booze (to make it manageable, you might want to allow yourself pre-planned exceptions like a CCFC game day, I did that for both Northampton and Wimbledon)
week 2 - start having an extra couple of pieces of fruit instead of snacks like crisps and chocolate
week 3 - start running a couple of nights a week

etc

I have an advantage in that I've been a "5 fruit and veg per day" man for 10 years and am also in the habit of running. The thing I found hardest was cutting out stuff like bread, cheese and milk.....

im ok with diet in terms of knowing what to eat. i have researched it alot and worked out macros etc

its just discipline to do it. i hate veg. and hard to prepare healthy food every day,sometimes end up eith oven pizza lol

i need to order some of those protein mals,expensive but could help me alot.

I think if you can stomach healthy food, that's the best answer. I do think that as we get older, exercise becomes relatively less important and diet becomes more and more important.

Wow, that is full on mate. I start work at 3am so morning workouts are a no go.
I do need to hit the cardio more, I tend to smash the weights atm with cardio taking a bit of a back seat.
Started at the gym in September and since then my diet has drastically improved, and alcohol has been limited to a couple of pints a week. Managed to dump around 4 inches off the waist.
I don't think I'd have the dedication to do what you've done.

Right I really need to work on weights now.

Walking 2 hours a day, running using C25K three times a week, just drinking sugar free squash, water and black coffee and only having carbs after exercise. Also no fags for over a week now (and still no ganja).

Worried I'm going to be eating muscle and also think muscle growth will help weight loss.

Had a look at a Bodyweight routine but it needs fucking parallel bars and rings, funnily enough I'm not living in a circus.

I have a pull up bar I'm too weak/fat to use, two dumbells and not a lot else. Too poor for the gym. Should I just stick to squats, push-ups, and the odd barbell exercise? Or should I just find the cash for the gym? (to be fair probably cost less than I've saved not smoking).
