bigDH's accountability training a.k.a Beer Drinker's Appreciation Society (Page 43)

Ha, new goal...gotta chick a dude...that is too cool!

LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! Great friendly competition does wonders!  Sounds like soooo much fun.  Bet she is happy to have raced you too! 

Speaking of the yucks:

I have had a low grade fever, joints on fire, headache and feel pounding in my head chest and back, weak feeling and shortness of breath.  Flu like symptoms without the flu.

A few years back a dr. tested me for Lupus and it came back inconclusive but he thought I had a mild form of Lupus...never concerned myself too much with it bc the only symptoms I ever had was some joint pain and maybe some swelling.  This week however was horrible!  Training was a bust!  I did get a 5K in on Sunday but it was not pretty for sure! 

Left work early on Friday, I NEVER leave work sick, slept Saturday and felt weak but pretty good on Sunday.  Monday rolls around and not so much...maybe I am allergic to week days?  So has anyone had any experience with this disease?

That's bad a$$.

So here's the deal, when I don't imbibe in my favorite beverages, I seem to lose weight.  When I imbibe, I can never moderate it to just one, or two, and usually have 3 or 4 and occaisionally 5.  This would happen every other night, or nightly.  Then my weight is consistently hanging around 185-187.  I haven't been imbibing the last few days, and I'm back down to 182, hoping to get down to the 170's by the end of May.

Hmm.  Maybe I could go on a reward system of only imbibing on weekends...  IDK.  Any thoughts?

Whisky=more drinks...I say go with 6 drinks max, Friday/sat/sun. This is what I try to do. I usually imbibe more on a friday. Try for double workouts that day to account for it. I also tend to eat more on the weekends!

I had a thought.  Whiskey=less calories.  This may be a healthy alternative.

Gave up as in quit completely? If so good for you! At this point I am good for reduction but not quitting!

x2.  That's awesome Darren.

 I have gone week long stretches, and feel great and have results on the scale.  But then I always go back to it and gain back up to 185+.

I like the idea of 1 beer, or 1 whiskey an evening, but will power to do so is never there.  Thor, I like the idea of limiting to weekends, but it never happens for me.  When I played hockey, I tried to only drink on game nights and weekends. 

I think I'm at a point where I will decrease because I want to weigh less bad enough.  I am ready to commit, and this alone is important in setting/attaining any goal.  You have to be ready to commit.
