Hi John
Yes, I'm in with you for a while - I commenced on January 2nd; as I still had beer in the fridge (with a use by date of 6 hours) on New Year's day.
So with today being the 18th Jan; today will be my 17th DOG day.
I'm aiming to go for all of January; then with February kicking in and the Cricket World Cup on, I believe it high time some amber liquid be consumed.
Over the last 6 years, I have managed between 170-180 DOG days; with the exception of last year. Was only in the high 60's. I compete in Natural Bodybuilding Comps and they take place each Sept/Oct; so from early May (my birthday), I go off grog completely, till after the competitions. Hence why I have been able to chalk up so many DOG days. The exception being last year, when I didn't compete. No goal you see.
But for January, I'm getting in now, cause of my lack of discipline for last year and I think I simply needed a huge dry out period. It's funny though, cause I've had a couple of mornings where I've woken up with a headache and hangover like symptoms. Not sure why, cause I'm also averaging about 4 litres of water each day also. So it's not because of dehydration. Anyhoo, who knows?
So yep, I'm in with you for the time being.
Also, MEGA KUDOS to you for the other day when you met up with some mates and IN in a pub. I honestly think that would have been possibly too much for me. But gee, you must have had an awesome feeling later on to know that you were able to achieve what you did. Freakin' amazing man.
Cheers (with water)
Neil
