Dry January

Along_the_Wire

Mad_Cyril Nah, when I put weight on quickly like over a weekend, I get rid quickly too

Amps

Along_the_Wire Same, old weight is stubborn weight.

Along_the_Wire Ha, thats some impressive bingeing but as you say know exactly why and can shift it with the right changes

Whoop sounds perfect for you, but you are serious about your cycling. I exercise down the gym, regularly and get out on my bike a reasonable amount but definitely not to those levels.

Do you know of any other Apps/kit that sdit below Whoop? The sleep bit looks amazing but recovery / HRV not so much for me although would no doubt be useful.
Recall you slagging of Apple watch and I’ve not been overly impressed with Fitbit.

Apple just isn’t remotely accurate enough for anything involving heart-rate, so recovery and HRV are chucked into that. DC Rainmaker is brilliant for this sort of stuff - here’s a good review of 2021 watches:

He’s excellent for almost all sports tech - very detailed.

Trying to cut down on the intake here too. After a steady 4 cans a night, 7 days a week for the last few years here, I need to break that cycle. Not going to promise myself a dry Jan, but figured if I can do a week or so here there and everywhere, it’s better than nothing. Managed the last 7 days off the sauce, so see what happens.

ScottBailey I get the benefits at 2 weeks. Really start to notice how much better I feel.

Got a new role and it’s in addition to everything I already do. It’s a step up and I’m going to hunker down and really put my back into it for a year. Could be really interesting. That’ll keep my mind off the booze.

But having discovered the people vs OJ and the storyville about OJ, I have got absolutely nothing done!

ScottBailey

benson definitely interesting what happens to your mind and body. I quit for 8 years back in my late 20’s, and in that time I ran a half marathon, full marathon and was going to the gym 3-5 nights a week. My mental health was a lot better too. in hindsight I wish I’d have made the 10 year milestone, but alas shit happens!

Wishing you all the best with your endeavour. It definitely gets easier to say no the longer you go without.

Homegrove

I figured I wasn’t drinking too much when I quit for 5 weeks last year and noticed nothing in my well being, one way or another.

Millsy

Homegrove wasn’t that the 5 weeks your hair grew back?

Do like a double nawty glass of rouge of an evening I must say.

I was listening to a lad on the radio on the way home advising people on starting back running to trim back the festive excesses, whilst I was joyous in the victory of fitting a full Lion Bar into my mouth in one go. All whilst waving people out in front of me at the petrol station forecourt. Because on top of everything, I’m an absolute fucking citizen

Millsy

Along_the_Wire

Dubman

That’s some going. a full lion bar in one hit. Gurning like he’s dropped few whilst waving at cars.

@seanc80 has clearly been practising on other similarly shaped objects.
