alcohiatus

So I’ve been really, really out of shape for the past year. Like, really. I mean, first it was the summer of 2005, wherein I worked 7 days a week and had no time or energy to work out. Then it was moving into the new house, and my allergy problems, and the fall of 2005, wherein I worked 6 days a week.

Then it was the winter/spring of 2006, wherein my allergies got really, really, really, really bad, and I just gave up and started eating shitty food all the time.

And now, with my allergy shots, and 3 pairs of pants that actually fit, and just enough financial liberty to declare five out of seven evenings all mine to do with what I please, I am back on the workout wagon. The problem is, in order to really get back in the kind of shape I was in three years ago - and I mean, great shape it was - I am giving up alcohol for the next few months.

Brian’s birthday is October 25; Jaye’s is on Halloween. Other than that there really is only one event I can imagine which might warrant drinkage, and that’s the Flaming Lips concert, which I’m pretty sure I can get through sober, as it’s going to be hella-fun.

So I’ll leave my bottle of Effen Black Cherry to chill in the freezer for awhile as I try to regain some semblance of health and get my girlish figure back.
