Progress Check In
We didn't do a resolutions thread but given this forum exists surely folks are trying to do things better this year. We've variously talked about eating better, exercising moar, drinking less, weight, but also having more bacon, hookers and blow, etc.
How'd everyone do so far?
With it being super cold and snow on the ground for virtually the whole month, I hit the gym a lot, erging every day of the month less 3. Way higher meter count than any month last year (175k+). As a result blood sugar has been excellent and weight is slightly down. Drinking less is hard but progress occurred. Need to focus on better sleep at some point.
Doubtful I maintain that pace as the weather gets better and I'll want to run outside but it is a good baseline.

I weighed 202 this AM, boss. Not trying to get under 2 bills or anything, but lots of old man erging/peleton/skiing + reduced beer consumption will do that to a fellar.

Commodore, I've been 202-203 now for a couple weeks; would love to fluctuate between 198 and 203 generally.

But I got 2.5 inches on you, tubby!
I don't want to be sub 200 but it wouldn't hurt for mt biking which is my main old man feat of strengths these days.

Like you, I find the sub 10 drinks per week just a bit out of reach. Too much socializing…
-
Damn you skinny! I may have to target 195 now.
I can have 2.5 drinks through EOD Saturday to stay less than 10 for this week. That seems highly unlikely.

Down to 199.8.
Insults get results?

I'm the Bob Ernst of these boards with all my fat shaming!!
I crushed my neighbors - who are all very fit guys - in the deep powder and crud on Saturday after like 4 beers on Friday night.

I'm going through treatments this week and next. This morning I told the two nurses about how friends of mine are calling me Atomic Piss. They howled with laughter.

Respeck @AtomicPiss for finding a bit of humor in dealing with an extremely shitty circumstance.

This board NEEDS a Bob Ernst to keep our shit together and to expect greatness
