If you are a well informed fitnerd offer some info if you can:
In the beginning of September I switch up my hamstring exercises and since then I'm not getting my hammys to recover. They ache almost continuously and I've cramped more often as well. Nothing has change in my diet, basically the difference is that I've swapped the leg curl exercise with deadlifts. I also bike every other day, but I've done that since the beginning of Project Duff.

Week 10: Back after it
Tonight's weigh in 288. Running total 34 pounds, 2 pounds for this week.
Well after spending the Sunday of Labor Day weekend moping around the house because I was upset with myself for breaking my sober streak the evening before, I finally got back on the horse. Went back to Blue Marsh and rode for a couple of hours Monday, things went better this time, but I avoided Psycho Hill this time. I don't know why but last week really seemed like I was just going through the motions and the weekend seemed longer than it should have. It was looking like I was on my way to score another big week. I was down to 287 Thursday and had no real plans to do any "cheat" things over the weekend that would've stop that momentum. Maybe it was the crappy weather over the second half of the week that slowed me up. Now with half of September gone and only one pound lost in that time I gotta really buckle down to get back on pace.
I want to thank a trio of friends who were especially supportive this past week, you've all been great but these guys just earned gold stars. Laura, Kevin and Kristy all were super great at listening or offering advice as I dealt with a few things that really troubled me this week. I won't lie, I have things that I REALLY need to deal with in order to get really better; personal insecurities, drinking, self confidence, just to name a few. I have always been one that kept his problems internal and dealt with them myself, and that's to say that I never really dealt with them. I never liked bothering others with my problems. Without friends that are willing to listen like that I'm sure I would be doomed to fall back to doing things the wrong way. You can really learn how close your friends are when you go seeking help from them.
