Wow, can't believe my physical shape.
Odd... with my sobriety I decided to do start working out a little more often but SLOWER than I usually would DIVE into something because I'm such a crazy perfectionist.
So I've been doing some weight lifting occasionally and 20 sit ups or more a day.
Usually I LARP *live action role play* and did a little Shadowboxing, this is when you throw punches into the air *not against another person* but are practicing your art if you will.
Oddly enough, I could not believe it, after a flurry of 25 to 35 punches in a row in 20 seconds, I wasn't winded or out of breath. I haven't done that in .... in .... I can't remember, because usually I am always breathing and dying after something like that.
Day 5 without smoking and drinking, now this is added to my "Positives on being sober" reasons... very good. Just thought I'd report that.

Cool stuff Paulos. Just imagine you are punching those wine bottles of the shelf. Congratulations on 5 days without alcohol and nicotine. I'm going to join you with the nicotine cessation, starting tomorrow. I've quit the nicotine for 3 to 4 day periods so many times now its crazy. But I have my family coming to stay with
me from tomorrow, and my girl friend coming on Wednesday. I can't wait.

Thats great man about the fitness improving, remember consistency is the key...20 sit ups a day and whatever exercise else you can manage will make a big difference to how you feel, how you look and stamina...good to see you back posting...
