So I posted on this here blog, and also on my facebook that I am going to go without booze for the rest of the summer. I also posted the same on my little poker site I have with my friends. As I expected nobody believes I will make it. I am not “quitting drinking”. I am just trying to instill some discipline in my life, and prove to MYSELF that I can do this. I enjoy drinking. I don’t drink often, I am not a beer or two guy. I have a bar downstairs at my house that is one of my favorite parts of my house. Sober, I am a pretty quiet guy. Like alot of people drinking takes the edge off, admittedly sometimes too much and helps me relax. But just the same, I want to prove to myself that I can do this for a few months.
Even if I didn’t announce to the world (and I did announce it like this so I would stick to it) I would have any drank 3-4 times anyway over the next few months. Maybe a little more cause its summer, and with it brings fires, camping, poker, golf etc. However 2010 is about getting my health back. I have done great so far, albeit a little slow for my liking thus far. I am down just about 30 lbs. I have lost 7-8 inches from my waist. I have gone from size 42 to 36 pants. I unfortunately don’t have a moderation switch. Just like I often drink 15 beer during a ten hour poker session once a month with the boys, I also sometimes tend to go the other direction when I set about doing things. Regardless I am doing this, whether any one believes me or not. By the end of this 3 months, I will be down an additional 20-25 lbs and I will be better for having given my liver a break. And….I’ll be thirsty. haha
Changing the subject, I bought Bill Phillip’s of Body For Life fame’s new book, Transformation. I will post a little review of it here when I am done. I am off to read that now, and get some wind down time before bed. Back to work in the morning, and onto Day 2 of the Reboot. Had a great day today and I plan for a great one tomorrow. No cheats, No excuses.
