Tomorrow, I’m starting a 30-day sobriety experiment. Lately, I’ve noticed that I go out a lot and I’ve been drinking a lot. I figure I really need to take a break and take some time off. I would never want to go completely sober and quit drinking indefinitely. I just figure that I really need to get away from that lifestyle and take a few steps back and evaluate my life. I’m going to use these 30 days and really focus on working out and losing weight and get back into the routine I established before the whirl-wind of the holidays hit me.

Last summer, I started taking boxing lessons. I really wanted to learn how to get in shape and I thought the best way was to pick up a skill or to learn a martial art. I wanted to learn something and at the same time feel motivated to work out and get into shape. After a few lessons, I really liked my trainer and what I was learning. I liked what he was doing at the gym and I liked everyone I was meeting there. His gym is actually a barbershop/boxing gym and he cuts hair, which to me is a pretty awesome idea. (Check Michael the Boxer out at his website.)
