    I made it two weeks when the court suggested I not drink for a year, longest two fucking weeks of my life.

    Little over a week without nicotine (cigars). First few days were a bitch but hopefully itll smooth out soon. As much as I enjoyed the taste of cigars, I had become addicted to not only them but the action of smoking them. There are plenty of ways to die, and self-infliction is not one I fancy. Hopefully I stick with quitting this time around. 291st time is a charm!!... Right?

    I started Crossfit last year and lost 30 pounds despite having a pregnant wife at home for part of the year (I know, what a great excuse). I dabbled in the Paleo diet towards the end of the year, I would say I was 20% Paleo, 80% of the time.

    So, this year, my goal was to continue with Crossfit and become a more strict adherent to Paleo. This past week, I started up with Paleo again. The first few days were torture but it's leveling off nicely and I feel like I am getting my energy back. I'm still having trouble staying on the wagon on the weekends though.

    Anyone have any tricks to keep yourself going through the weekend? Routines, etc.?

    Drinking heavily.

    I think I might be missing the point.
