an update-tryin to run and giving up booze

johnblackmur

so i've been managing to get up early, still not running, but baby steps people

plus soda of any kind is now banished from my diet which is good. tomorrow i'm going tee total. I did drink quite a bit and tonight i have a party so tomorrow I give up booze cold turkey.

This decision was made after careful thought whilst i was working out yesterday. If I'm putting myself through hell of weights, cardio and abs, why risk destroying all that work to do stupid **** and feel ****ing awful the next day?

To be fair my routine is hell on earth, I'm pushing myself harder and faster then I ever thought I could and it seems booze is my only vice left, and yes I know that drinking in moderation isn't the worst thing ever but this is about lifestyle change, and I don't want anything to stop me from feeling as good as when I put the weights down or succeed at a new exercise for the first time.

sorry if this sounded a bit preachy, i'm typing it as i spurt it out and am no longer going to apologise for how my mind works.

I have also banned alcohol and soda from my diet. I only drink alcohol 2-3x a year and soda when I do not have a choice of water, which is very rarely now.
