IMHO it will probably take you till your next " free " day to rid your system of

the booze. Rather counter-productive, I'd say. Why not just one once a month?

Unless you'd only have one on your free day..........

First post of the year! Yay! In yo' face!

Heh, knowing my luck after posting this someone or two or three people

would make a post.

This year I've made the goal to lean back up becauuuuuuuuuuuuuse....

I'm fat. :-P After many years of being a two job johnny or low wage

johnny, earlier on last year I hooked myself up with a vendor job so

I'm actually making a livable wage. It only took until the age of 31

to get it, call me slow.

The biggest problem I had though was getting back into the near

compulsive habbit of exercise and nutrition. There were times when I

used to be so into working out times like today, gym being closed for

new year, would drive me nuts. Also the mysery food I'd consume after

going home turned into, for lack of a better term, happy food after

finally getting a livable wage. For example I wouldn't go to the the

grocery store to get a 99c pizza and wash it down with a 12 pack

because I was depressed anymore, I'd do it because, " Yay, it's

tuesday! "

November I got really diguested with how I looked because as I've

always said before, " I know better. " I was smart enough to realize

that'll be hard to do during the last two months of the year with

thansgiving and christmas, and oh yeah last night too. I just kept

with the habbit of going to the gym and didn't put a massive focus on

nutrition.

Now it's a new year and time to get rid of the jiggle. Just to put it

simple for now I am currently 231lbs with a 41 inch waist. Long term,

by my birthday july 3rd I want to loose about 40lbs and get down to my

lowest which was 183 from a few years ago. I'll be able to better

figure out my strategy two weeks into this due to losing a lot of

bloating from water weight, and totally giving up carbonated beverages

except free day beer. What do you think I am? Crazy?!?

I'll be more specific with my goals later. For now I want to run off

and make a doctors appointment. I thought it'd be cool to get a full

physical before and after, not to mention get a physical period since

I actually have health insurance. YAy!

It actually takes an hour for your body to process a glass of wine,

shot of alcohol or bottle of beer, but I still see your point. I'm not

going to do the amount I typically did in a day. Just enough to enjoy

the taste and the moment. Then start back on monday.

Matt,

Welcome back and congrats on the new job! I know that has been an

issue for you in the past.

Good luck getting back on track. I'm doing the same and starting

today. I've had my fun eating over the holidays and now I hope to

lose about 5 lbs and go from there.
