oh man. Sorry to hear that.

the girlfriend part. Not the weight loss part

Thanks

My apple watch today notified me that my heartrate was trending up over the last five weeks - there was stress building in the relationship.

Oh well, time to move on and enjoy my pants, which are a fitting a little better now lol.

I’m the exact opposite, where I eat to the point of being sick if I’m stressed or have the blues. It can’t feel good to lose those pounds, Coach, but feeling healthy should help you spring back up.

I took a big plunge yesterday and tried on a bunch of t-shirts from an old dusty bag under my bed, including some from college and before…and honestly it wasn’t that bad! Most of them still don’t fit, but I’m close on a few, including my old Stone’s Bitches t-shirt. If I ever go to a Pearl Jam concert again, I will wear it and see you all there.

yeah, I'm trying to eat here and there, little things but I lack the motivation at the moment.

fuck dude i missed this until now!!

so sorry to hear

we're here for you

poop thread is too

Oh shit, sorry to hear that coach.

I’ve been dry for a week. I should weigh myself later to see if my older body is still capable of shedding beer weight like it once was.

How much did she weigh, coach?

I dropped like ten pounds this week.

lol. Alcohol is so fucking bad for us.

How much were you drinking a day/week?

Like a keg, apparently.

Summer's coming in, so drinking has started up again too. I go months during the colder months not touching a drop, but when it's BBQ season I'm pretty much the lass's in the video below

Yes I feel much better than I had been. Overindulging in Vegas was the straw that broke the camel’s back, but truth be told, I’d known for a few weeks it was time for a change in habits. Beer wasn’t sitting well anymore - even just one or two - and I was already trying to avoid the delicious bourbon.

Feeling like shit all the time has taken the fun out of drinking.

Yea most times I drink these days - it goes from excitement to just being tired and bloated in like three drinks.

There are days where it's as wonderful as it ever was and I really like a 1/2 drink buzz but I'm not sure why I really drink at all anymore.

First things first - cutting out mid week drinks if even just 1.
