K.I.S.S.

Keep It Simple Stupid. Sort of the motto I’m trying to live by these days. Somewhere along my path down Healthy Enlightenment Labor of Love (HELL for short) I stopped drinking beer. I never really intended for this to happen, but I don’t really regret it happening either. For about 2 or 3 months before swinging on this Discouraging Insipid Exercise-al Trapeze (or DIET) beer and my stomach stopped getting along. Particularly draft beer. So it just has not really been a pity party, and my fat tire does not miss Fat Tire. (I always felt weird in bars asking for a Fat Tire when I already had one.)

I’m just keeping my beverage intake simple: black coffee, water, gin & tonic, and red wine. That’s it-easy. That’s the list. I feel that these options are better for me than other beverages. Much better than, “Hey, they just came out with Mountain Dew in three new unnatural colors. I must try them all!” Perhaps I should instead drink a cup of bleach mixed with a pound of sugar. Because let’s face it these look like liquids you’d use to wash dishes.

I'm not judging. Just stating what's good for me, and what I feel I need to do. I’m a Newly Fat Guy and I weigh 244 lbs. "I can lose weight, but you’ll be washing your dishes with Mountain Dew."
