my girlish figure

Now that I have quit drinking at nearly every occasion, I am starting to lose some weight and looking like less of a fatass. Since the end of march I haven't done any heavy drinking and the most I have had at one sitting was about four beers. I have gone several weeks without having a drop though.  My mom is giving me compliments as well is some of the rest of my family. At my heaviest, right before I turned 24, I had to of been very close to 240 pounds. I probably have spent most of the last nearly 3 years around 220. Before I turned 21 and started to drink at will, I was always under 190. I don't know if I will ever get down to that again, but a goal is a good thing to have. Hopefully I can get all the work done that I want in my house and be able to move a treadmill in. I really did enjoy running and hope to get to be able to run more often. 

I thought I might put some perspective to my drinking by describing two of the days I think I drank the most. One football saturday at columbus, I decided I was going to drink some whiskey that day. I knew when the liqour store opened on saturdays, so I went and bought two bottles of jim beam and was getting some whiskey down before 10 am. By the time I left for the noon game I had half of one bottle down and was feeling pretty good. After the game I kept on drinking and finished both the bottles before 11 pm if I remember correctly. I then kept on drinking beers, until we went to a new bar in the gateway called "the ugly toona saloona." I had a buddy that had moved back home and hadn't been to columbus for a while so we went and I kept on drinking. I remember buying a fishbowl sized thing filled with hard liqour and drinking most of that from a straw. On the way home I bought some nachos from la bamba and was eating them on the couch at my house at about 2:30. Some of my friends there started throwing clothes and cushions at me so I flipped my nachos up off of my lap and went to bed. The next day I was up and at'em before 11 to take the GRE so I could see if I was getting into grad school I did okay despite drinking a shitload the day before. Then after the GRE I watched some of the bengals game and went to the schottenstein center to help a club sweep up the place and make some extra money. 

On another instance I drank an estimated 35-40 beers on the day that Ohio State played michigan when the teams were ranked first and second in the nation. I was teaching during that time so I was able to wake up on teacher time for me and start throwing back the beers. Me and my one roommate stayed up late drinking so we could go to a target store to stand in line to buy a nintendo wii. 

On a more positive note, I have been listening to a lot of incubus music lately There is all kinds of good stuff on their greatest hits cd.
