@Doctor-Phibes said in What genius dreamed up this nonsense? Dry January!:
I'm hardly ever ill, but frequently tipsy. I suspect these two things may be connected.
Dry January? What a stupid idea. Having said that, I really do need to shed the Christmas weight-gain. Went for a big walk this morning, and then took two more with the dogs.
Nice!
My Christmas weight gain is really a "had a 3rd kid" weight gain. Realistically it's not possible to work out in the evening after kids are in bed, or in morning before they wake up, since the odds are there will be at least one kid up before 11pm and one before 6am, and usually a few wake-ups between.
Anyway...... my point being, the only things I can control is to stop eating/boozing at night, which has been a very delicious, very relaxing, very rewarding bad habit over the last year.
I'm 6 feet tall, but currently weigh 230. My all time heaviest was 232 back in 2006 before I took up running and went down to 175 over the course of 2 years. Would love to be around 180 again in two years but to start that... better sleep, less snacking/drinking, and working out when I can. A very stupid and long way of saying, I'm on Day 2 of no booze.
