Nucky Thompson Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Who else is going to attempt the dry January this year? Probably as good a year as any to do it. I'm not just going to be giving up the bevvy, but I'll be stopping sweets, chocolate, cheese and takeaways. Going to Lanzarote in February, so at least I've got a target to aim for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankblack Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I've had a fairly dry December with all Christmas nights out cancelled so plan to make up for it in January unless Krankie shuts the pubs by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However if i haven't had a drink for a couple of weeks I then think ill maube extend it for another week or two , I never plan to do it as such if that makes sense. But I definitely can take a break from it. It usually last around 4 /5 weeks as it really cleans out your system doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis Reynolds Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I'll be doing it. Need to lose some of my lockdown/Xmas weight. I'm just blaming it on lockdown/Xmas rather than it just being a greedy *******. Will try and cut out sweets/takeaways as well although I think that'll be easier if I'm not hungover every weekend 🤷♂️ Couple holidays coming up so something to work towards. Also got a 10k in May so that'll be my big target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they cancel it out by going on a massive bender in the first weekend of February. Completely pointless. I know that there’ll be people who don’t do this. A lot will though.

SectionDJambo Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Has the possibility of just having wee drink, sometimes, not become a thought? One or two drinks instead of going for the full session? Personally, I've never understood the need to intentionally get so drunk I hardly knew what I was doing. I'm not saying it's never happened, but I can't say I've ever gone out with the intention of getting falling down drunk. Maybe I'm just getting old but I find that I enjoy moderate drinking much more than having more than a few. No dry January for me. No need really. Just a couple of drinks when the notion arises. Very satisfying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ri Alban Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 1 minute ago, Lord BJ said: @rialban has pretty much nailed, albeit in my dreams I’m built like Arnie. I’m basically going on a diet to drop fat and show the abs and muscles off. 😂 People who lift weights, generally have two phases bulking, which is eating more calories than you need to put muscle on. Then a cut happens to loose the fat you put on whilst building bigger muscle, but you eat in a way to retain muscle and reduce fat. Ive just started cutting and am eating about 500 cal from my maintenance whilst maintains 2g of protein of body weight. It leaves we very little play room with my calories. Probably been easier posting a link. Good luck, bud. Just a distant memory for me, these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you or are you going to see Dorian Yates soon? Injury has put an end to it. Mostly shoulder and bicep injuries that are preventing me from doing anything. I've tried to go back many times but as soon as I start it's over. I'll go again soon, I might try some AS to see if they help. I went to his seminar last May, it was OK.
