Hahahaha, I'm goodish, just getting old. Had a four month break from training, just hoping I can get it back. Hope you're good?

Good evening all, oh where to start its been such a long time!If you've ever read this log before you'd probably compare it to a good sieve, some good solid parts with a bit to hold onto but plenty of fooking gaps usually about 7 years apart
For the last 7 years ive done bugger all training ive been a right lazy t**t, what i have been doing is motorbiking...anywhere and everywhere. England,Wales,Scotland,Ireland,France,Spain,Germany,Holland,Belgium,Luxembourg,Austria,Poland,Switzerland,Italy,Czech,Slovakia,Slovenia,Hungary and even the U.S.A last year.
Never got to travel as a young man but ive now made up for it on a bike, absolutely love it, very hard to explain unless you ride but its very good for the soul
Now ive been diabetic type 2 for about the last 15 years and have always been diet and tablet controlled but the last couple of years its been much harder to control and at xmas i had to make the switch to insulin which ive put off for years tbh.
Now ive always been a heavy lad and with now been on the insulin your more prone to weight gain so im using this as a kick up the arse to start training again. My goals have obviously now changed, i still love the strength side of training but im now doing it to maintain weight a level of fitness and some sort of longevity.
Unfortunately ive got some diabetic neuropathy which in short is nerve damage in my lower limbs been the feet,calves and hips which is a real t**t because squat used to be my strong point
Nonetheless im still giving it a go, plus God loves a tryer
I've still got Balls Deep Gym at the end of the garden but its got a bit of a roof leak over the winter so is not usable at the moment (Reminds me of Adlington Barbell back in the day when it had INTERNAL guttering )
So ive started at a local commercial gym Snap Fitness in Northwich, only opened at xmas. Been going for nearly a month now its got most things i need as is pretty good tbh, and im still training with my old training partner Andy so everythings good there!
The massive difference from back in the day is all these young ones now train with their phones glued to their foreheads...What's that all about?
Anyhow im rather weak at the moment but that's to be expected and im generally aching like a t**t most sessions but and there is a BIG but...Im enjoying it and surely that's the point?
Will be posting some sessions shortly.
