Health Pellets, 2007 edition
If this post had a newspaper headline, it would read something like "Spill stock plunges as Chris takes break from alcohol, dirty drunks."
A couple of years ago I had the revelation that it made sense to stop drinking for a period of time each year. Not only would I save a ton of money, but also I would wake up with substantially fewer hangovers, improve my decision making as it relates to potential encounters with females, and enable me to focus on getting in shape.
2007 will be the third campaign of this sort, and it started yesterday. As was the case in the previous two years, people have already started to question the motivation, if I'm crazy, etc. So it began last night when, for the most recent Think-n-Drink (TnD), I started the campaign with 7 Club sodas with lime, and quickly realized that it's going to be a long month.
But, it's not without cause, and I'll probably end up drinking on special occasions (like tonight for Mara's bday). I'm going to Vegas in 6 weeks, and I am really making the push to get into top shape for that trip. That is a side reason for my choosing to underweight booze in March.
Of course, this will be hard, and some have asked why I didn't do this in February (the shortest month). It's just that every once in a while, I like to reaffirm my ability to meet strict personal goals. A lot of people couldn't do it. I can. Ok, thats it.
I'm in town for the next two weeks and will be bored out of my mind, so I'm looking to go out as much as possible.
Vegas trip with my b-school buddies: 49 days away.

wanna get in shape for vegas? you don't need to lose weight. you need to gain it. digest twice as much protein and hit the gym 5X a week.
Mr. Obvious, thanks for that profound comment. Hitting the gym 5x a week probably is overkill. 3x works for me.
it is not over kill, and you won't see results unless you do as you are told
nah, my metabolism is good enough to do the trick. half of working out is the "rest" phase dude.
