I'm quitting drinking for the next three months
 

I made a bet with a friend of mine, who'll make more progress in the gym during the next three months.

I have a plan for training and what to eat that I put together myself because I used to workout in the past.

No heavy weights (not even capable of that heavy weights anymore) - I'm gonna eat 5 small meals a day, mainly proteins and vegetables and shit (I hate it and it's just two days now) .

I'm gonna lift smaller weights, like at 60 pct. of the max, and everythig slow with full tension - like 12 - 15 x per series.

Hitting the gym on Friday evening, Sunday evening and Monday evening with enough time for recovery over the week time, when I need to mainly work.

Plus 90 minutes of soccer over the weekend every two weeks and some faggy running in the odd weeks when I won't be playing.

I'm planning to loose like at least 1 - 1,5 inches in the waist during these 3 months, get the right pct. of the body fat back in place and form the rest a bit - I want to look like Mel Gibson in 1987.

My bud is doing the contest in the Muscle and Fitness magazine, so he's taking the "before" pics on the 23rd of March, then he will take the "after" pics in June, he'll take mine too, but not, I'm really not gonna compete in the magazine nor I'm gonna post it here to satisfy someone's gay crush, it's just between us two.

Well, I have three exceptions - this Thursday when Ed from SSearch is coming over and I promised to try to keep up with him before my bet took place, the other problem is I'm planning to hit the Mallorca show in May and the XBIZ Vegas at the start of the June - so I will have at least three serious violations.

Good for you!

Good luck!

I quit drinking last Sunday. Not by choice though.
Turned out i got amoeba, some bacterial infection I do not wish anyone.

I wont be able to drink for at least another 10 days because of the 10x2000MG of antibiotics I have to swallow.
Whooptie hoo.

Might as well start doing some push ups when I feel a little better though.
I might like it and the body sure as hell could use it.
Oh well, it's been about

I quit drinking every other day. The most I went without alcohol has been about week.

Good Luck

Good luck... I went 18 months once.

.

best of luck to you, Carlos. I haven't been drinking at all for the past few days. I'm not sure how long it's gonna last and I didn't do it on purpose but its been pretty cool not stumbling to bed these past few nights.

Plus no morning hangovers mean I get more work done. Thats always a plus.

ya I quit drinking this last dec and haven't had a drop since and it feels good.. Spent the first 3 weeks sober in the hospital and I've been on meds that don't allow me to really drink but if I wanted to i still would've..

For me it was just time to quit or atleast to take a nice long break from drinking


Good luck! :thumbsup

Good luck man. :)

you'll do just fine man..If I can do it, anybody can!
I quit for a whole 12 months once..

Good luck Stick at t!

Cheers Carlos !
The gym is good. I am going there 3 times a week since a few months after 20 years of no sports at all.

Good luck. I've been on the "6 meals a day" & hitting the gym 5 days a week routine for almost 3 years now; I lift heavy and drink heavy on the weekends though. :upsidedow

smoking,drinking and crack are good as well.

Good luck and all the best in this adventure :thumbsup

That's good for you Carlos!
Good luck. Hope you can do it. :)

Remember, winners never quit, and quitters never win!

nice saying :thumbsup

I quit drinking 7 weeks ago now.

granted it was because I've been super ill over that time.. but now I'm getting better I think I'm going to ride with it as long as I can.

Tbh I don't miss it that much, and I've lost 10 kilos without really trying :thumbsup

Good luck,I don't think I could ever give it up for that long

Good luck to you! :thumbsup

good luck 2 u

i am quiting meeting and drinking with friends and visiting gfy for three months also, see you everyone then :winkwink: ... that is true ... wish you luck everyone :thumbsup

No wishes needed

It will be fucking boring, I'll start to play chess or something to amuse myself.

I hope at least women won't object a new born Adonis with the muscle of steel.

Good luck ! :)

Enjoy your 1st violation, say hi to Ed for me:drinkup:drinkup

I sure will!

Stefan is coming over around 6pm, we'll get something to eat, then meeting Ed around 8 pm, then we're going to the www.k5relax.com, I need to call there yet to reserve a table for us.

I won't be using any sexual services though, I promised to myself.

:)

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

What, Ed's not in the mood ?:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Try online poker, gamble 25% of the money you are saving not drinking and see if you can rack some loot while you are on your 3 month health kick.

I started with a trainer 3 weeks ago (we had a 10 day downtime as he was in vacation) But didn't quit the drinking, planning on doing so tho so i can reach the goals I have set for myself.

still holding out?

All I can say: Goodluck mang!

Yeah, if he's gonna be at 50 pct. of his regular drinking capacity I'll die tonight.

I don't want to do that, I only want to play black jack and only in really nice casinos.

I don't want to loose money anonymously :winkwink:

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:thumbsup

now all you need is some good dope and you'll be fine

It was great!

We went to the Harley's bar and bribed the DJ to play our songs, he received a playlist on a piece of paper.

Reminded me how much do I miss my folks over here.

Ed bribed also the tall blond waitress with a small ass.

If you give more than 50 pct. as a tip I guess it's already a bribe and you can't clasify that as a tip - he should be prosecuted for sexual harrasment.

She hugged him all the time! He was the sexiest in the bar!

:helpme

i wish you good luck!

Court ordered?

:winkwink:

So far so good, being sober is not that boring as I expected.

You can say that again! I've been sober since dec and it's so boring to sit at home for 7 days a week.. I'm hoping after I'm healed and off the health restrictions I will find something to do going out besides the bars but who knows

Let's see:

Saturday:

Woke up before 8 AM to finish some work

8 - 12 AM putting together the complete revenue stats for 2009 so far cause there was someone more than important coming over this weekend after 6 months he spent on vacation

noon - getting something to eat

1 PM - 3 PM finalizing the stats overview, finally sending it out and finishing at 3 PM

3 pm - 5 pm taking the girls (I live with 3 girls now) for a short trip around the city, sightseeing, coffee and bullshit, then I'm getting tired

5pm - 7 pm - returning to my place and taking a nap as I'm tired as hell and don't feel like driving

7pm - 8 pm - dining

8pm - driving about 70 miles to see an old friend of mine

9:15 pm - arriving at his place, we're chatting, I'm drinking an alcohol free beer while we're watching "The Last Boyscout" we're also talking about my new cell phone plan as he's my man at T-Mobile where I want to move from Vodafone

11:30 pm - driving to the old family house that's nearby and go to sleep there


Sunday:

6:45 AM - waking up so I'm on time for my weekend university courses

8:00 AM - arriving at the place where it takes place, realizing there's some exams I don't need to do so I go to the library to get me an interesting book about the effectiveness that was recommended to me by a friend of mine

9:30 Am - leaving the place as far as I realize I don't need to be there for the rest of the afternoon as it's some 5 hour long lecture from "accounting" that would kill me

10:00 AM - back at the family house, as far as I don't feel like gym today I decide to chop the lumber for about an hour, I feel like Charles Bronson in the "Magnificient seven", I end up chopping it for about 2 hours as the fucker won't go easily

noon time - having a lunch with my sister and brother

1 PM - taking a short nap as I'm tired as hell and don't feel like driving

2 PM - taking off, driving back to my city

3:15 PM - arriving, getting some fitness brunch

3:30 PM - learning Russian as far as I'll have an exam on the 19th of April

4:30 PM - sick of Russian so I try to text three other girls if they would not be up for a romance today, they don't respond so I at least take two of my girls and their cute blonde friend for a game of pool

5:00 PM - 7:00 PM - we're playing pool, I'm playing the worst game of my life and they beat me 4 times out of 5 games.

7:00 PM - 8:45 PM - I'm ordering the girls a bottle of champaigne and try to pick up their friend, I like her temperament and I am trying to explain her that there's no reason in this world to have one boy friend only

9:00 PM - we're all arriving at my place, I bought the girls the ingredients for a Sushi so they're prepairing a dinner and I read a book in the meantime

9:30 PM - Sushi is ready and I'm having a dinner

9:45 PM - 11:15 PM - bullshitting a bit, I'm working some more on their blonde friend then I get really tired, kiss the girls good night and go to sleep

It really is just about keeping yourself engaged I guess.

:winkwink:

Carlos, you made me LOL when I read the thread's title.
When I read the thread I double LOLled hehe:)

Good luck with that dude:winkwink:
