Becoming a Spartan...

For the past two years or so, I’ve been pretty hell bent on getting in shape. Yankee Girl keeps telling me I’m sexy, but the most important opinion is that of oneself. I’m into weightlifting and cardio, as well as eating healthy. The problem is that I like to supplement my extreme workouts with some good old boozing. This of course nullifies a lot of my hard work, but I love to party and have a good time. Just ask my friends and they’ll tell you no one parties harder than Leland Sage. Consuming alcohol and causing some trouble is one my talents.

So this past week, I made a decision to change my approach. I save my extreme drunkenness for the weekends, but I also usually have been consuming 3 to 4 drinks each day during the week. I know in America this may be viewed as alcoholism. I think I just live in the wrong country. So, this past week, I did not have any drinks Monday through Thursday and I ate very well. My nutrition was mostly based on low fat proteins, fruits, and salads. As for liquid nourishment, I relied mostly on water, as well as some tea and juice.

My workouts are fairly vigorous, consisting of 20 to 30 minutes of heavy lifting, and then 30 minutes of interval-based cardio on the elliptical. I did this routine for 4 days straight. I also complimented my workouts by walking a total of 4 miles this week from my workplace to the gym and home. The result of not drinking for these past four days was immediately apparent. I lost 7 pounds in 72 hours and my stomach trimmed up a lot.

Now it’s Friday, and I’ve had about 4 shots of Jameson 12 year and two bottles of Guinness. However, I am totally ready to rock the gym hard Saturday and Sunday morning. I am ready to become a Spartan, and hopefully, a male dancer. The money would be good. I don’t do anything half-assed, whether it be exercising, partying, or showing my junk.
