A big opportunity
 

So I've been given the chance to run my own weight loss class/club at my gym. There's a big picture of me with my gut hanging out from a year ago on posters and "Lose weight with the tank" and a paragraph about how I've eaten too many pies over the summer and am there with you, losing weight every week, weighing myself every week.

So the teacher (me) is a guy going through what you are, just someone who knows a lot about fitness.

We've had over 30 sign ups so far and with enough interest there's talk of making extra classes if needed.

So yeah, it's pressure, but pressure from a challenge I know I can do. So I'm excited . It's a really awesome push for staying sober because, if I started drinking again (which I wouldn't but hypothetically) I'd put on weight and I'd lose my class, because you can't have a teacher who is failing the class.

It's also great knowing things are paying off and my life choices are doing me good.

Oh and I have a second date as well with a girl whose far out of my league, seriously, I'm punching so far above my weight I'm worried i'll dislocate my shoulder. Hopefully she doesn't notice! Haha.

No Relapse, No Surrender.

Tom.

Congrats Tom! That's great! I am so happy for you!!

Cool Stuff, Thomas. Sounds like the experience could be a lot of fun!!!!

Congrats TtT. I'm glad to hear it seems like some things are going well for you.

All sounds very positive Tom!! :)

Sounds great, Thomas!!

Hope all goes well Tom :)

D

Congratulations!! You deserve it!!

Great stuff "Tank". I am counting on my gym as remaining a daily part of my new sobriety. Go for it !!

Thomas, it sounds like a great opportunity. Good luck!

Good stuff i do home work out but yeah Congrats

Tom you da man! That's awesome to hear. About the date that you have...you ever heard the phrase YOLO? You only live once...do it up. Value yourself high...she might soon be dating the guy who runs fitness classes at the gym. Sounds pretty cool to me. I think sometimes...a lot of the girls that I will begin talking to are probably "out of my league" on the lines of they have completed more schooling than me. I haven't started dating yet since becoming sober..but it's all about where were going. Not where we are right now. You sound like you will be very successful Thomas...keep it up! You can do this, just be yourself and she will love it.

Way to go Thomas! Great to show sobriety has many, many benefits.

That's brilliant news!!!!! :D

Wow, isn’t sobriety amazing!!! You may have given up booze but look how much you’ve gained; good health and a second date with a charming lady. Congratulations!!!!
