My first setback!
Having pulled a muscle on Friday, I felt ok to hit the gym this morning and thought by laying off the shoulder presses I'd be fine. Wrong! I am now in absolute agony and may well have just put myself in a period of enforced lay off from the weights. I managed to do the rest of my routine ok but after my workout I really felt it and now I'm struggling to relive myself of the pain.
Just as I was really getting into the swing of things as well, I've just managed to go alcohol free for the first weekend in god knows how long, and my diet over the weekend was fantastic. Yesterday I was bored and knew I should give myself an extr day of rest as far as weights went so I actually went for a 7.5k run just for something to do and really enjoyed it, but then coming from a heavy cardio background I do miss it sometimes and enjoy the odd run or cycle.
If I end up losing a week to injury it will really get me down, I just hope I stay disciplined enough to keep my diet on track and don't fall behind on my targets. It's plenty of ibuprofen tablets and heat wraps for me over the next couple of days, my next workout was due to be Wednesday but it looks highly unlikely that will be the case, I just hope I can get back down the gym by the weekend.

unlucky mate - seemed like you were getting into the flow of it too.
hope it isnt serious.
Hope the neck heals up soon mate - just stick to the diet and at least you know you wont be going backwards - hey if diet is spot on with protein intake you might even lose fat and return to exactly where you were with some time off!
