Six Days Without a Beer: The Beginning of a Promise I Made
<html>
<p>My daughter lost someone in her life recently due to poor health habits. She looked me in the eyes and begged me to stay healthy so that I wouldn't leave her too early. I have left the weights, been a couch potato who eats unhealthy, drink heavily two days a week when she is with her mother and started to feel my body go the way of an old man.</p>

<p>A bell went off when my little girl told me this, and I realized that some changes to re-start my engine needed to happen. Quitting drinking was never something that was difficult when I put my mind to it, working out regularly went in spurts of championship training to absolutely nothing in 60 seconds, and my diet would usually follow. Putting this out there to the world definitely adds some skin in the game, since my word is my bond.</p>
<p>So last Saturday night, I had my final beer for six months, which I knew would help me get back in the gym. Once in the gym, diet would follow, as it always has (and it had, I had rice, fish and qinoa for dinner tonight).&nbsp;</p>
<p>When there is something greater than yourself that is depending on your goals, whether it be God, someone you love, or an external goal, you will succeed, or be a quitter and a liar.</p>
