only managed to get to the gym twice this week, due to a hangover from the night before! Still, had two good workouts, been getting used to those new muscles being worked on this new regime. And have been aching loads!!

Stats were pretty much similar to tuesdays and to be honest have forgotton already!

Off to hull tomorrow to meet my dad to watch cpfc! so no doubt will have a few beers.
Other than that, diet has been fine, had a lot of pasta this week!

That sounds like a lot of beer Fatmatt. You'll always be Fatmatt if you drink lots of beer.

hmm,

but there are so many things that i cannot or dont want to do because of weight, and i dont want socialising or being with my friends do be one of them.

Well you won't lose the weight then. I go to the pub with friends occassionally and will drink iced water. If that were a problem to my friends then I know I would need better friends.

i have stopped drinking casually, and when i dont need to. so if i was just down the pub i probably wont have a drink. But seeing as im at uni and young etc, we tend to go out 2-3 times a week to a night club or something so its hard to not drink. as going out with my friends is something i enjoy doing.

its not as if my friends wouldnt understand, would just make my evenings a little more boring.

Your drinking 3 times a week whilst training ? :-0

How much you drinking?

    ^top

If you cant have fun unless you have a drink I think there is a problem. Not that I dont enjoy going out for a good drinking session with my mates but I do enjoy myself when im the designated driver. Its fun watching other people going from sober to plastered lol.

When I was at Uni I was the same, altho I didnt drink all the time.

Your choice though bud
