Day 508

I am heading north on Friday and will be in the bush by Saturday morning.  I know the area pretty well and should have cell coverage in a few places unless something has changed since last year.  So, I will be posting and ghosting for about a week and a half.  And I might be a little late posting roll on a few days if I have to search for a signal.   

Stay frosty, my friends!

IQWYT!!!!

Day 454

My wife just came outside to tell me that my beard was on fire.

That is a first for me.

I threw a couple pieces of wood in the fire pit and there was a bit of heat that exploded when the wood hit the fire.  I felt the heat hit my face, but there was zero pain.  About 90 seconds later my wife came flying out of the door screaming that my beard was on fire.  And she was correct.  My beard was on fire.

I’m sorry, but that’s fucking funny.....Ok, are you ok? Any serious burns?

I am fine.  And it was fucking funny, which is why I shared it. 

My wife was totally freaking out and I honestly didn’t feel a thing.  I rubbed my beard when she started screaming and it was definitely on fire, but it never burned me.  It was kind of weird, actually.  I had been drinking a little, but I was not drunk.  The whole thing really was funny.

 

Thank you brother KYBO, that gave me a giggle

Day 433

I am down 32 lbs since the first of the year.  I have lost the weight mostly thru exercise and cutting back on my calories at lunch.  It feels good to feel so good again.  My goal was to lose 50 lbs this year, but now I am hoping to hit 50 in the next few months.  I am sure the weight loss will slow down once beer and bbq season hits full bore.  I am going to try to focus more on grilled salmon and grilled chicken this year and see if I can balance that with the weight loss plan. 

I am going to the liquor store today to purchase a variety of low calorie/low carb beers to see if any of them might "hit the spot."  I am usually a pale ale or IPA guy so this might be a challenge.  Wish me luck!

I was drinking a 12 pack a night when I stopped.  Thought I would lose a bunch of weight but it didn't happen. Had to kill starches and especially the late night PB&J before I saw results.  Was trying to exercise my way into a diet.  Doesn't work.  I'm down 15 pounds for the year so far.  20 more to the target.  Then I can host the BBQ.  Getting a hog next week, maybe two.  Would love to host an east coast meetup. I could send my wife and girls to the beach for the weekend and we'd be free to lay around in our shorts and eat meat with our hands!

Fuck shorts

Badass quitters like yourself do not need luck, you own shit.

When are we having the BBQ cookoff at Athan's place?

A BBQ weekend sounds like a pretty good time.  We might need to put some thought into it.

DAY 401

Hard to believe that is already been 400 days without tobacco or nicotine of any kind.  It seems like just yesterday that I was watching a documentary on Stevie Ray Vaughn that somehow delivered a message straight to my soul that told me it was time to quit.  I can't explain why that documentary hit me so hard that day (January 7th, 2018).  But, the moment that Stevie said, "I thought I could stay at the party forever, it don't work that way, cause that shit will kill ya," I knew it was time for me to quit.  And that is exactly what I did right at that exact moment.

I was scanning thru the onscreen TV guide two days ago and saw the listing for that exact same Stevie Ray Vaughn documentary.  I watched it again in it's entirety on my Day 399.  That quote from him still punched me right in the gut the second time around.  I DVR'd the documentary so I can watch it again whenever I want.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

I have decided that 2019 will my year to seriously try to get back into shape.  I have been pretty consistent for the last year with exercising, but I was still eating and drinking whatever I wanted whenever I wanted it.  I am proud to say that I have already lost 20 pounds since January 1st of this year.  I have kicked up my exercising a little bit but I think the biggest contributor to the weight loss has been the fact that I have cut way back on my calorie intake since the first of the year, especially at lunch.  My goal is to lose 50 pounds and keep it off. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have decided that I am going to spend the money I saved from Day 300 to Day 400 on some Eastern White Pine Trees.  I found a guy that will sell me 16 white pines that are 3 to 4 foot tall for $25 each.  I think I am going to plant them west of my barn lot to add a little more privacy from the road and to create somewhat of a natural snow fence for the barn lot.   I need to do a little research to see how far I need to plant them from the lot to maximize their effect as a snow fence.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In about a week and a half the Kings and Queen of April '18 will have 27 active members surpass the 400 Day mark!  That is absolutely amazing in my opinion.  I am proud to quit with each and every one of them every single day!  On to 500!

The order is all effed up, but it appears that the Tapatalk crap has been merged over to this intro.  So, you have to jump back 7 pages on this intro to get into the entries that were made after the Tapatalk disaster.  Not a big deal.

Day 419 update

I am now officially down 26 lbs since the beginning of 2019.

Lost mine, too, for a while. I was not excited. But all is found.
