8 days sober, no alcohol at all.
I'm sleeping better without the alcohol, but I've been substituting food for booze when I get cravings, hence the wei8ght gain.
Walked for 24 minutes early morning before sunrise, then coffee at home, then the gym for back. I did 9 sets, about 110 reps on lats and rear delts.
I'll grab some more sets on my dumbbells at home.
I felt really good when I got home from the gym. I want to make working out first thing in the morning part of my everyday routine.
Even if I don't lose much fat or look any better, the way I feel makes it worth the effort.
Had a talk with my wife this morning, explained that I NEED time in wilderness for my mental health.It's still too cold for a camping trip, but I told her that sometime around May-June I need to take a few days to myself and go camping.
She and my daughter hate the outdoors, the daughter hates pushing herself physically, but these are things that I NEED.
We plan to retire in her home city of Da Nang, vietnam. It's a gorgeous beach city. I hope to lease a 2-bedroom apartment in a tower near the beach, they go for between $500-$800/month. I can set up the second bedroom as my office and work the same job I have now on the night shift, and during the day my wife can use the office to exercise. I figure I can work that way for 3 years and we can save a lot of money for retirement. While I'm working nights I can take Viet language lessons, surf lessons, maybe Yoga class and find a gym to lift at.
I want to get a good bicycle there, probably an electric cargo bike, and do some bike touring. There are decent roads there, and every 20-30 miles there's a village with a coffee shop, farmers' market, restaurant, homestay, about half of them have hotels. So almost never cooking on a camp stove and sleeping in a tent.
