Is anyone doing Dry January?
 

This is boring but I can feel the weight coming off

Thought about it for a second, then realized I'd have to watch Chiefs playoff games sober and knew it wasn't for me.

Yeah I tried it laat year and got drunk after the Pats loss. 3 weeks was close enough last time anyway LOL

I'm no quitter!

Yes
No measurable precip in Golden CO so far this month
Will keep you posted on our "success"

broke that Day 1.

I am. I dislike humidity.

Just enough time to lose all the water weight.

I’m in the midst of completing a 30-Day dry streak right now. I’m headed to Aruba next week, so I’ll be blowing that out of the water as soon as I get down there :evil:

Winner!!!!

**** no. If you are going to go dry, doing it during the summer when you want to look lean anyway.

The winter is for boozing, eating and adding muscle.

lewdog straight up alpha. You could learn something from him, Billay.

No

After we win the SB. Whatever year that is.

I ate two hamburgers for lunch and a big breakfast dinner tonight.

...then I worked out.

Chiefs are going in Dry.

I workout at 5 in the morning on an empty stomach.

If you’d have told me I’d be doing that when I was young, I’d have called you crazy.

I've thought about it. I go the last hour/hour and a half so I don't have to deal with do a set and then look at my phone crowd.

Same thing we did in the military. pt, shower, eat, work.

Pat Mahomes is participating in “Going In Dry” January. AFC teams beware!

Im not, but my fiance sure is. Dry old hag.

**** no. I need to drink through the playoffs

I did it last year. Felt great, it’s kind of like a cleanse/unpickle my liver. This year I started right after Xmas because I was on a rampage in December with a wedding, vacation and the holidays.

Oh hell no. You'll have to pry Pigsknuckle's finest craft brews from my cold,dead hands.

I seen you got a new favorite bbq place in pigsknuckle? We gotta go there in the fall lol

Oh you know we will. That place was a gift from God.

:thumb: The polish dogs from that other place that closed were fantastic. I sometimes dream about them lol

GOING IN DRY ON WHATEVER TEAM COMES TO OUR HOUSE NEXT WEEKEND!!!!!!!

Haven't had an alcoholic beverage in 10 years.

Yeah those were a hit every where i took them. And they were also so damn convenient, right on the way home. The OK Joe's is over in midtown Pigsknuckle so a bit out of the way.

No absolutely not.

I drink about 20 times a year. And those days are almost always the best days of the year.

Someday we'll get alcosynth to the market and then ill drink almost daily

Scott Frost been that disappointing eh?

Doesn't she work at Bazookas?

No I need to lose weight and ****ed off too much. Cutting til summer then eating at maintenance, do a little cut late summer/fall, bulk this time next winter.

Nebraska football hasn't driven me to drink since sometime back in the Pelini era.

Last time I was drunk was Nov 2017. Haven't drank a beer since June 2018. 2019 was my first year I haven't drank a beer since 2006ish.

Damn. That sucks man.

The 2-month window between the end of Sober October and the beginning of Dry January is too short for me to do neither one.

Aw shit, I didn't even know this was a thing. Better luck next year I guess.

Man I barely drink anymore. I’ve had like 2 beers this year.

I work too much to be boozing. Besides that the last thing my fat ass needs is empty calories.

I did a 30 day healthy living challenge last year that included not drinking. Lost 27 pounds in 30 days. It taught me a bunch of easy choices to make with diet and I got down 40 pounds. Starting the same program on January 6th.

Like last year, I imagine there will be some whiskeys on playoff days, but overall it's the best decision I ever made. Haven't been under 200 lbs since high school... until this year. :)

That's malicious peekaboo you're suggesting especially in stealth :D

Does a DRY martini count?

Not until KC is done for the year.

Probably not the whole month, but I'm definitely cutting back after the over indulgence of December. What's weird is, I've cut back on my drinking considerably the last 2 years, so this December's "overindulgence" would have been par for the course a couple of years ago.

Growth I guess.

I tried for five minutes....

I always have my best workouts when in a fasting state. Usually around noon after a 14-16 hour fast. I never would have believed that when young either.

My woman and I are doing one week a month, no alcohol, eating healthy, exercise, etc. So, being good this week means we can drink some beer and eat badly next weekend for the Chiefs game.

I like to take a month each year and go no alcohol. The week a month sounds like a good way to make a change.

The cardio aspect of my lifts seems much better when I'm fasted, but I find I run out of gas pretty quickly on heavy lifting days on a fast.

I'm sure its somehwat different for different people but your natural HGH levels peak about 14hrs into a fast. Ive set all my bench PR's when fasted and have always felt stronger.

Any run I do thats 13 or so miles or less I do fasted as well unless I am doing tempo work or running a race. I always eat before races or hard long runs and do short hard runs fasted.

Key is to get protein and carbs quickly after the workouts.

pfft, dry january rofl

I haven’t drank since I saw you last...

I would think January would be one of the worst months to pick as a dry month. Couldn't you pick a month where you can go out and be active? Who wants to be stuck inside in the cold months while sober? **** that nonsense.

Define "dry". Does that mean no drinking or no sex? My answer would be no to option 1 and HELL NO!! to option 2.

Seriously, the older I get, the less I drink. I'd guess I had less than a 6 pack over the last month and maybe 3 or 4 straight Jameson's in the same period. That may change starting next weekend.

No reason to stay inside just because its "cold" outside.

I'm not an alcoholic, I usually drink 1 day a week. But I binge on that one day. I've been sick off of 2020 so I haven't had any yet.

Pretty sure he lives in the barren wasteland of 'Merica North. It's nice like 6 weeks a year there.

That's true.

But at the same time people tend to stay in more when it is colder.

Forreal? Good shit man. How you been?

Sounds like the perfect balance to me

Is there a complete list of all the virtue signalling monthly challenges these days? Or do we just make them up as we go?

I’ve done it for 23 straight months. :D

I was going to... buuuuut I like to drink too much.

I think homie is doing this to lose weight, but I'll indulge:

Sober October
Black History Month
Equality Month

2 days. Well, 2 and a half I made it, but wasn't trying.

I'm going to wait until after the Super Bowl

You forgot to add the word "celebrations" at the end of your sentence. :D

Come february it'll be a year since I've had any alcohol.

No, I'm not quitting or some AA jackass. You can't drink with kratom and so far kratom has helped my insomnia, anxiety, and migraines.

Honestly, I haven't really missed it...

Yeah god forbid people want to improve their lives. If only we could all be as miserable as you.

Dry February, after the chiefs win the Superbowl.

This may not be the place to put this, but I've noticed something kind of funny. It's been a little fad in the past year for some people to put signs in their yards that say, "Hate doesn't happen in this house, and we welcome immigrants to our community." (And some other stuff - I'm sure I've got the wording wrong.) But the funny thing is that I tend to see them in wealthy neighborhoods where immigrants are never going to live.

Its probably been 5 years for me. I don't enjoy drinking, and never have. With my addictive personality that's probably a good thing. Doing things in moderation isn't really possible for me.

What about it don't you like? To each their own, but is it due to how you feel the next day or the taste? I'd drink everyday if it didn't make me feel like shit the next day or was unhealthy.

The mornings after suck ass. I was told hangovers suck once you hit 30. It took me a few years after 30 to feel like complete shit. I could have 5-6 which isnt alot, get barely drunk, hydrate and eat properly I'd still feel tired the next day.

I have never been able to work out at noon, but I virtually never eat breakfast and I've always lifted like ****ing shit in the morning. Running, basketball, too. I just suck shit in the morning.

I've had impulse control issues my whole life. Everything I do is done to extremes, both the good and the bad. :shrug:

I Yam what I Yam :D

Never heard of it
