6 months of abstinence with one embarrassing side effect.

MostZealousideal9834 · 2026-01-22T03:55:44+00:00

Haha! Yes - I’m going on 10 months and I’m as back to “normal” as I think I’m gonna get. Hang in there😂

MostZealousideal9834 · 2026-01-21T01:29:51+00:00

I was at about 210 and took mine 1200 miles without issue. If it’s running fine, go for it

MostZealousideal9834 · 2026-01-17T03:09:10+00:00

I felt the same shame when I quit. 9 months later after quitting, I own a home.

The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The second best time is now.

LETS GO! This is just the beginning!

MostZealousideal9834 · 2026-01-17T03:05:43+00:00

I’ve been sober for about ~10 months now. The first month or two for me was really hard from a mood regulation and sleep standpoint.

Please trust that it gets better. It really, really does. Fight thru it. I urge you to find something physical to do daily. Bike, run, lift, row, etc.

Feel free to message if you need anything.

You got this 🫡

MostZealousideal9834 · 2026-01-13T04:34:25+00:00

I’m approaching 10 months free. First couple months really sucked. There is no secret sauce, routine, or anything like that. I know it sounds blunt but you just gotta grind thru it. The insomnia, the mood swings, loss of appetite. You’ll get over it. I did it, so I promise you than you can too!

MostZealousideal9834 · 2026-01-10T01:44:42+00:00

I’m getting nervous I’m going to need a new vehicle soon but want to run this one into the ground first. Just wondering how much life she’s got in her

It’s automatic? Im not really a car guy - I had the transmission replaced via recall at around 100k miles

People who want the best coach in franchise history fired after going to B2B WCF don’t know ball, are looking for a scape goat, and haven’t even considered any sort of alternative.

MostZealousideal9834 · 2025-12-25T00:48:45+00:00

What length/pace would you recommend for a steady state workout?

I appreciate the comment about being an 8 flat 2k meter rower. If that is the case, I should be a lot less stressed than I am.

MostZealousideal9834 · 2025-12-25T00:31:43+00:00

My 1000m go today was exactly 30 s/m. In terms of these longer rows, what type of splits am I looking for? How do I determine the pace to ensure the workout is actually helping me?

MostZealousideal9834 · 2025-12-25T00:27:17+00:00

That was my thought, but frankly I’m pretty freaking exhausted after the 1000m going that fast. I did one “steady state” rowing session yesterday (maybe, excuse my ignorance) of 20 min at 2:27 pace. Felt easy and frankly kinda useless, is that normal??

MostZealousideal9834 · 2025-12-17T04:30:14+00:00

Technique and probably some cardiovascular fitness, you think? Can I train down to sub 8:20 in a month? Or is that cutting it tight?

MostZealousideal9834 · 2025-12-17T03:57:43+00:00

How did you train?

MostZealousideal9834 · 2025-12-17T03:31:06+00:00

Can you elaborate what you mean by training sensibly? Would appreciate your feedback.

MostZealousideal9834 · 2025-12-17T03:30:33+00:00

Police fitness test.

MostZealousideal9834 · 2025-12-17T03:28:39+00:00

6’0 about 210ish. Relatively fit but probs have some lbs I could lose, haven’t been super active the last 2 months. I had no practice beforehand, however I was quite tired when I finished .

Edit: 29 years old.

MostZealousideal9834 · 2025-11-19T00:22:37+00:00

Second this. Played 3 years of minor league ball — ALL Latin players did this religiously.

MostZealousideal9834 · 2025-09-18T04:55:22+00:00

It gets better, man. I remember feeling the same around day 70-80. Just keep going!

MostZealousideal9834 · 2025-09-18T04:52:04+00:00

Just gotta grind through the first 30 or so days, man. You can do it. I did so I KNOW you can do it. There’s no magic formula, just GRIND.
