I do mine completely bollock-o after the morning leak and before the morning coffee.

5'9 and in reasonable shape, though me love handles did seems to mysteriously bloat up after 4 days of eating and drinking while horizontal.

81 kilos on 5'9? You must be built like a brick shit house. Basically the same height but a lot lighter.

Sure.

*uncomfortable nervous grin*

Usually 78kg. Still had last night's liter of red wine, 3 croissants and half block of cheese in me at this morning's 6:30am weigh in.

I'm a touch over 5' 10" and if I was 81 kilos ... I'd be dead.

Everyone is built differently.

Every day’s a gay day, for some. :-)

So many weak-willed people.

**Chittychangchang** · 01-07-2019, 08:42 PM

I stopped drinking at midnight!

It was a battle to finish the bottle in time, suffering all day with the hangover from hell.

Looks like i'm on the wagon, gonna be a quiet month around these parts with so many sober members.

**Neverna** · 01-07-2019, 09:13 PM

Good luck, Chitty.

**Dillinger** · 01-07-2019, 09:15 PM

Milo would be the preferred beverage of this type. Savage.
Accompanied with a couple of cigarettes.

Oops the wheels fallen of my wagon.

Cracked open a bottle of Bud as I'm cooking Mexican tonight

**Dillinger** · 01-07-2019, 09:55 PM

Mate, if it works for you then great.

I'm through the first day, was hanging for a beer, but not fanging for one.
Just in-case I was tempted, there are none in the fridge ... but Lulu left the dregs in the cask at my place.
I put the Mont Clair out of sight.

On the positive, my kids benefit. Did spend more then usual time with them.
Feel more energy.
Read a lot more technical documents which I needed to catch up on.
Starting my Tax return on-time this year as opposed to waiting till the deadline to lodge.

On the negative. So many cups of tea. Seemed to eat more.
Partner nagged me about undone chores n stuff. Truth be known, she probably nagged me before, but I didn't notice

I was hoping to sleep through the night, but that didn't happen. Might take a few days to reset the body clock.

Don't know if this is a positive or a negative ... thinking about exercising

Maybe better to wait a few days ... don't want to overwhelm the poor ole body.

Nev ... does that mean your on-board?

Chitty and Looper ... reset and start later today.

Luigi, Dill and all those who started ... well done

**Chittychangchang** · 02-07-2019, 02:29 AM

I only had one bottle of Bud so that doesn't count.

Longest I gave up for before was 5 days last month, slept well and ate well.

Don't feel the urge for a drink due to over doing it last night, we'll see.

C'mon guys together we can conquer this diabolical affliction for a month

Had a nasty hang-over this morning. Flight from MNL-PPC was bumpy due to bad weather. It ain't fun flying with a hang-over.

I'll second that. The beer fear at 31,000 feet is no fun at all.

Anyway, had 2 good meals and a nice 2 or 3 hour session in the sauna, so I'm feeling pretty smart now. Gonna have a dry July until Friday and then smash it again at the weekend.

Rinse and repeat.

**GracelessFawn** · 02-07-2019, 04:23 AM

Thinking of having a dry July for a few days..... Have loads of stuff to catch-up as I was in Manila for almost a week. Lord give me the strength and courage.........

**Loy Toy** · 02-07-2019, 04:26 AM

I cut down from 6 bottles of beer to only 4 yesterday in the spirit of this fred.

Does that count?

Not unless you cut down that pie intake.

I'm eating one now!

Ribeye Steak and Mushroom.

3 minutes in the microwave............Delicious.

I’m 4 days in already. Didn’t think about a beer until about 10pm last night. Had a juice instead.

Went for my first bike ride this year yesterday. Hot, sweaty and panting, so I thought I’d try a short cut. Turns out, the short cut is all uphill, bugger.

My sleep patterns have been all over the place recently, so six hours solid at night is an improvement I suppose.

The choice today is bike ride, swim or gym.
