The End of the Dock is "Chad" Free for 35 days.


I like beer. Not just Chad... but all beer. I also like speaking to Uncle Jack, Uncle Jim, and occasionally the Captain. This month, however, I felt the need to change. I was tired of looking at myself in the mirror and not seeing what I wanted to see. I am tired of the odd pair of pants not fitting or JUST fitting. More importantly I just plain don't feel good. So until Em's birthday party (Feb. 10th) I am not having anything to drink and I'm also working out like a fiend. Two-a-days mostly with my "off day" being just one workout. Run 5 times a week, weights/plyos/basketball stuff another 3 to 4 days a week. Long run on Sat or Sun. I like the plan... I'm 4 days into it and already I feel 73% better. The remaining 27% will be spread out over the next 4 weeks I'm sure, but I'll definitely feel better after I change this part of my life. Not to say that I won't have the odd beer here and there once Em's party has come and gone. I just definitely won't be having as much. On the bright side, this should make the beer taste that much better!

Inspiration...thank you. I spend most of my work day behind a F'n desk....no exercise at all. From Sunday (Jan 14) on I will attempt to mirror your exclusion of beer. And then destroy myself at Emily's birthday party!
