Well, still not a drop. The diet I've been eating seems to be working out alright so far. My stomach was angry at me yesterday, probably from all the fiber I was eating. (Brussell sprouts, leafy greens, kale, etc) It's seeming to settle down now.
No gym membership yet, but that'll happen when I actually get my sleep schedule down. I have been sleeping five or so hours a night so far. No rest, means zilch for recouperation...so I'll keep running and doing bodyweight exercises for the time being. Still feels good though.

Day 1
Well, today was alright. I went to work, did my thing, then came back home. I hung out in the bar with a co-worker and talked; it came up that I was going to be trying to clean things up a bit for the coming month. He was cool with it and said that he can see why I would want to. I think we both might have been drinking a bit more than normal since starting third shift.
I'd like to decide which gym I'll be going to and swing by early tonight and sign up. The Y is substantially more expensive than Endurance, but it has way better facilities. (Even though it might get a lot busier)
Anyways, till tomorrow.

Well, here we go.
I opened up this blog almost three years ago but never posted in to it. It was going to be a homebrewing blog; a spot where I could keep a record of my recipes and tasting notes. I've kept all that in a few spiral bound notebooks, but have decided to use this blog for a new reason.
I'm going through an interesting transition period in my life. You might call it interesting if you can see it from the outside, but for me it can be any number of things. Sometimes I feel like I'm just treading water and not making progress, and other times I'm ready to just pull up roots and pull a Supertramp.
So why the blog now? I wanted a way to chart my progress through what I'm about to do. The past two years have been a huge eye opener to me. Not only have I learned a lot about myself, but I have learned so much about how things work. I worked hard on climbing out of a hole that I put myself in, and with the help of family and friends, got out. I still slip back into some of the behaviors that I had issues with, but it's getting better.
At this time in my life, I think I should be getting my things together and setting my path for the future. There's an image in my head of a person that I'd like to become. Well, not just 'a' person, but a different version of me. I've done a substantial amount of work on this in the past nine or ten months, but know that now is the time to really make the push to make things happen.
So, over the next 30 days I'm going to be changing a few things and I'll see how I feel at the end of the month. The first is drinking. This one will be tough because I work in a brewery. Even a beer after work kills my productivity for the remainder, and I need to progress. The second is my diet and activity. I've been eating quite healthy, but there's no direction. I figure that no booze and a clean diet would help me get back on track. I always feel great after exercising and eating right and even better when I'm not hung over or wondering..."What did I do last night?"
So, today I'll go to the store and buy everything I need to make this happen. I'll still brew beer at home for the family but won't be drinking any, the same goes for work. I'll have others try the samples I pull.
Till tomorrow.
Oh, for Antonio, here's my tattoo work so far.
