Fat kid needs to lose 20 pounds. I like to drink, but it does my waistline no good.Freed Roger wrote:What's happening?Michael wrote:Back from Vegas and I haven't had a drop. I decided to extend my no drinking policy to two months.

Any other stuff you notice - ala energy levels, not falling asleep at the desk, etc?
I'm cutting back (going from about 10 drinks per week to 5) for a few lbs too, but wondering if any else is noticeable.

Re: Getting into shape
I feel better. Booze makes me sleep restlessly and more lethargic. I'm saving money too. I used to spend a lot of money on going out and drinking.Freed Roger wrote:Michael wrote:Fat kid needs to lose 20 pounds.

I did feel a bit of sour grapes last weekend. Watching a movie with a beer in my hand is a beautiful thing.
Overall, I feel great. Kinda makes me think I should quit drinking completely.

obviously, everybody reacts differently to alcohol. so Fwiw, on my 3rd week of cutting out the mindless drinking around the house - I seem to be able to rebound better on Monday from the weekend/special occasion drinks.Michael wrote:I feel better.

Re: Getting into shape
I think we're different. My issue is I tend to binge drink (although not always). After a few beers I typically want more. That's why it's important for me to not start drinking in the first place. It leads to hangovers and poor food choices. Even if I drink once a week it screws everything up.Freed Roger wrote: obviously, everybody reacts differently to alcohol. so Fwiw, on my 3rd week of cutting out the mindless drinking around the house - I seem to be able to rebound better on Monday from the weekend/special occasion drinks.

When are pitchers reporting? I'd just like to report that I'm in my worst shape of my life.

The weather is crappy here and my gf teaches a yoga class so I took her to class and then went to pick her up. My god the parade of yoga pants coming out of that place. I imagine it is what heaven is like.
