Sober = Boring



There is something less fun about things when you're not having a few beers in the evening. I'm in the middle of this Sarcastic Gamer Pink show Biggest Loser Competition and it's not fun let me tell you. If anyone is reading this that doesn't know about my podcast there's a link up there, go look for the SGPink show and get caught up on what I've been doing the last few months with them. I'm one part of a three girl show that airs every Thursday. We talk about games, life, and whatever else I can squeeze in that Dave doesn't edit out. They want me to start writing articles twice a week now too so we'll see how that goes.


But I was talking about not drinking and the competition. We had the great idea to try and drop 10 pounds before we go to the Community Vibes event in Miami on February 21st. Somehow it turned into an even more crazy idea and we turned it into a competition using Wii Fit. Loser has to do some silly cheerleading video thingy. So for the past few weeks I've been trying to cut back on my drinking. I did horribly the first week. The second week I did much better and now that I'm into week three I've gone stone cold sober. I'm completely lost. There are no drunken Full Auto nights, or drunken Rock Band nights on Xbox Live. Around 9 or 10 pm I go to bed because I can't think of anything to do. For goodness sake I'm getting 8 HOURS of sleep a night!!
I'd like to say that all of this is paying off and I'm dropping pounds left and right. But that's not happening. I went out today and bought healthier food. I suppose I'll try eating it and maybe that will work. It can't kill me right? Well, it's only Monday. I did spend Saturday hungover so we'll see how this week goes. I'd ask my friends for diet tips but I'm still unemployed and flat out broke so I can't even afford to go out and pick up more food. Woe is me...lol.

This is the life of a poor, sober gamer. Ain't it grand?
