On May 1st, the weighing scales were reading a whopping 25st
Thanks to my friends, the initiative to get healthier was found.
It’s been an eventful 170 days since then and thankfully the scales read much differently now.
Today, they read 18st which shows a deficit of 7st
Great to be back playing after a four year hiatus!
Thankfully, I can report that I’ve lost five stone and my fitness is continuing to improve.
Thanks to the
@DunsanyGAA
lads for having me back!!!

Full time in Fitzgerald Stadium and despite a huge effort we have fallen to a 3 point defeat. The 20 minutes when we were down to 14 men after 2 sin binnings have proven critical.
