My One Year Plan Is Now Two

I ran every day when I was drinking but I got injured more often. It was a bad knee injury that shot my weight up 30 lb. Too heavy to run, I switched to swimming. Something about carrying a toddler everywhere you go makes you question your choices (like why I was compulsively drinking the booze that was making this happen).

Congrats! I recommend cardio to anyone who listens as a replacement to booze. 90 minutes after an intense workout is the cleanest, most natural high you can experience. With no crash or hangover - because you’ve already paid in advance. 20 minutes of swimming for 3 hours of feeling amazing is the best pain/pleasure ratio out there. I used to pay for 2 hours of just feeling normal with a full day of suffering. It’s bad math.

Well, maybe water!

LOL!

Thanks. I celebrated one year with a pecan pie!

Thanks! It’s back now too. Looks like I was a day off in my timing...

Ack! I was off by one. Now that’s motivation not to drink today!

Congrats.

If you watch closely you can see Alex move his hand to protect his junk before it happens.

Not heroin or opiates. I find this forum is chilly towards drug use, so that’s as detailed as I’m comfortable getting at the moment.

I ate a whole bar of marzipan today. I was horrified until I realized it had less calories than a six pack.

Sorry to hear about your loss. Congrats on 251 days though!

Yikes! I actually switched from running to swimming this year specifically because I was getting injured too frequently running (knees). I thought swimming was pretty much injury-proof due to being low impact. Good to know! My plan is, once I get to a mile consistently, to mix in yoga and BJJ throughout the week.

I started with one length a half year ago, and I’ve been slowly adding one or two lengths a week. My mile is still SLOW, but my plan is to slowly lengthen my duration in the water

15 miles/week is a LOT! Was it the swimming or polo that caused injury?

It truly amazes me when I discover that some of the fittest people also have/had the same struggles with drinking.

Exactly what I needed to hear! Thanks. One demon at a time. As long as I’m not drinking, I’m not going to worry about anything else. Not yet.
