I know that most normal people choose Lent to give up things that they like, but I’m not most people. I do things when I feel like doing them. That’s just me.
Basically, I’m going to leave alcohol alone for the next month or so, mainly to see how it affects my old man situation. If I don’t choke anyone out in the street, I’m going to try to do the same thing with sodas after that. The crazy thing is, I’m not worried about the alcohol part. I’m a soft drink addict, so that’s the sacrifice that’s going to kick my ass!
Nobody told me that I should give up sodas, but I know that they are not good for me at all. I read about Aaron Gray, a center with the Chicago Bulls, who lost 30 pounds in the offseason by simply giving up sodas and no longer eating after 7pm. I am almost back at “International Heartthrob” status, so I have to keep this sex machine of a body fine-tuned. Besides, I’m getting to that point where if I don’t start taking care of myself now, I’m gonna be all kinds of f*cked-up when I’m an old man!
Walking around with a big-ass fake-ass hand like Chubbs from Happy Gilmore or something like that…I’m not trying to be that guy!
“AN ALLIGATOR BIT MY HAND OFF!”
I can attest to how cutting out soda can help in losing weight, as in the first month of cutting it out, I lost 10 lbs w/o working out. It’s the high fructose corn syrup that’s the culprit. And as long as you don’t eat within two hours of sleeping, you should be okay, but eating before 7pm does help.
But yeah….we don’t need you looking like Chubbs with that f-cked up hand that keeps run over, and freakishly sticking out farther than the other arm. Can’t be sexy looking like that. LOL!
i love that pic – me thirsty
Good luck w/ that. I didn’t give up Pop (wtf is soda, lol) entirely, but enough that whenever I do drink it it burns my throat. Yep, that’s what you’ll be looking forward to.
I’m also a soda addict and I’ve given it up before and lost 15 lbs in 3 weeks. Unfortunately, I backslid because I work 3rd shift and I needs my caffeine! I will, however, be cutting it out as of today. Good luck on the alcohol and soda! (look out for the caffeine migraine!)
I’m taking the soda boycott SLOWLY…I’ll be on the lookout for that caffiene migrane @ Megan!
@ MZ, you must be from the Midwest!
@ RawDawgBuffalo, yeah, that photo is a thing of beauty!
@ Kindra, I’d still be a sex symbol, even with a prosthetic!
i gave up alcohol for about a month last year, and i had this new-found sense of clarity…it really helps to straighten trains of thought…
