    I'm a picture of moderation. never more than 3 glasses of wine, usually 1 or 2.

      Truthfully, I gotta get back to some cardio & weight training. Isolation during Covid, menopause, mourning my youth, turned me into a fat lazy hermit. I’m still in this funk.

        I’m close to the @Doctor-Phibes mode, though my weekends aren’t weekends, working retail. My days off are normally in the middle of the week…

            Haha some good insight here, and good quotes too. I've heard of a similar quote that was something like "One drink isn't enough, two is too many, and three is not enough."

              I hd foot surgery and haven't been able to go the gym in almost three weeks. Driving me nuts.

                You can go and do upper body stuff?

                When I had my nasty bike accident I would do some dumbbell stuff and this stationary hand pedal thing.

                    I do the hand pedaling every day, but a lot of the upper body machines still require your feet to brace.

                        I’m told a person needs to tackle first the thing causing the most anxiety. Ha, that’s what I preach to my boyz. So, in my case, perhaps strength training & cardio needs to start with housework!

                              You (or at least I) can tell when I drink too much I make a-hole posts. I always did...either you guys never noticed or you always just assumed I'm always an a-hole.

                                  You just kind of blended. There was no shortage of a-hole posts by all of us.

                                      Though one point of pride for me is I’m just as capable of being an asshole sober as drunk.

                                          I am a one drink and done type. Usually Scotch or Bourbon with a fine cigar.

                                          I do this only on nice weather weekends starting Friday after work then again on Saturday night. On occasion, I will do Sunday evening as well.

                                          In the winter months I do not imbibe. It is 100% a nice weather, weekend thing.

                                          I never feel bad the next day. I do feel very tired after that one drink.
