NEWKID 26,159 Posted January 3, 2022 Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 I’ve never understood the come home from work and crack open a can of beer, I love a drink in good company and will drink my fill, never appealed to sit at home watching the box and drinking though…. Not a dig at those that do, just not for me…. got a 40th in Surrey this weekend, then won’t drink for a while, nothing going on so no need… usually do a couple of months start of the year with not a drop 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I drank 10 bottles of desparados on Xmas Eve,and had 8 last night and a few whisky's as it was my birthday few of us spent the night out in the camper vans doing a spot of fishing and we made a homemade curry...I won't drink again now until summer time when we start going away again, always a few cold ones in the fridge but I don't touch them for months at a time I am going to start trying things to eat this yr that I've not been a fan of eating in the past, getting older so not a bad idea to make a few small changes 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greb147 6,808 Posted January 3, 2022 Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 I seriously need to start putting my phone down and keep off here more often, that goes for many of you lot as well. But what else is a man to do? I'll wean myself off slowly, I'll only come on during work hours. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Borr 4,485 Posted January 3, 2022 Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 I'd like to do something a bit drastic. Contemplated some January challenges but I'm off the scale unfit/overweight. As others have said... I'd generally want to improve health fitness, keep earning and be doing stuff with my kids. But another part of me wants to live on a desert island or other remote isolation or some substantial challenge...but then that feels selfish when you have a young family, so then I'm looking at holidays like active / adventure, although somewhat limited by one of my kids health issues (location wise) but still if nothing else it's a distraction to the next couple of months, think I'll be glad to see the days lengthen and getting kids out in the water. I just know I'm not gonna be joining a gym , sake I've barely motivation to write this 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

These days walking or swimming, I've thought about having swimming lessons actually. Used to like doing weights and some boxercise/bjj stuff but not since my twenties, started picking up injuries going into my thirties, get away with sporadically training and punishing your body earlier in life. In hindsight I'd have moved somewhere with wilderness on the doorstep I think. Kids are settled in school now, I've grown tired of driving an hour each way for a short mooch. Going to have to find something other than just my walks, I have a kick about with the kids each week but I don't relish it. I've actually signed them up for a club now to have a kick about,so no more of that. I've always enjoyed swimming, might start off with some lessons and see where it leads.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dytkos 17,536 Posted January 3, 2022 Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 Work 4 on 4 off, when I'm working, no drink, when I'm off drink unless I'm driving, lamping etc. Never drink anything other than beer, tea, water. Cheers, D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
