In 2016, I put money on Trump winning the election. As a hedge, I said that I would remain sober during the Trump presidency. I didnt really think Trump would win. But of course, he did.

So I went sober in Jan 2017. I kept it up for 5 months, but then I broke down.

I am sitting here, at 35, and now wondering about the future. I don’t want to be a drunk uncle. I don’t want to be the booze hound. And I don’t want to be fat, obese. I want my vo2 to go up. And I want to build my tshirt body. And I want to run marathons for ever. For as long as I can.

Trump tried to overturn the 2020 election. Didn’t work. He kept persisting. He was tried and convicted over 4 years. He kept persisting. He ran for president again. He got SHOT and SURVIVED. He persisted. And then he got elected as the 47th president.

It seems like I have been given another chance. Let’s go sober during the Trump presidency. So, starting Monday.

Trump doesn’t drink. He does do other shit, so I need to be careful. But yea, definitely a moment to reduce the consumption a lot.

Fuck, I am not sure if I can do the sober 47, but I am going to try again.

Fuck, I am sitting here at home nervous. Why? I just dont have a routine around this. So I am frozen.

Lets figure this out. I am going to go. Work through the blocker. Get your audible. Your hoodie. shorts, and shoes.

In the gym, I will just go and do some shoulders. Smith machines if I have to. Get the beanie.

Do it only for 30 minutes

Okay, I did 🙂

Did a quick workout. Pull day. It’s a monday so that’s good

What the fuck man, I am wasting time. I still haven’t gotten back into the groove of running and lifting. And also about eating right. This is important.

You are training for Marathon 2026 – in the 5 hour space. For that you have to shed pounds and become stronger.

This is IMPORTANT. Nothing else is important to me. Bars? why the fuck do you want to go to bars? And then text those idiots later. So stupid.

The marathon is the north star for life

It is such a good distance. It’s something you HAVE to train for. And you HAVE to taper for. And then eat the right foods for. I want to keep doing marathons as long as I can walk. I GET TO RUN BRO what a BLESSING.

• Arms ( bicheps )
• Traps (raises, upper back pulls)
• Squats
• Shoulders (over head)
• Chest (Bench)

The formula is easy. Here are some thoughts

• I don’t give a shit about drinking with loosers
• Health is my primary goal. Marathon 2026 and looking JACKED.
• I want to fit well in my tshirt.
• Built muscle and burn the fat
• No bench press

It’s Jan 11. The anniversary. it is done. Trumps presidency is about to happen. Fuck that.

No more alcohol. Transition away from these fucks who abuse stuff. Health and activity.

Live a life outside, outdoors, enjoyment, etc.

Work gossip is not needed. What a waste of your life as a 35 year old.

Go to shows, religious stuff. Take a late night drive. Drink juices, coffees, etc.

This guy had similar journey (but he is ahead). Some highlights:

• Intermittent fasting was a mistake.
• Focus on simple, nutritious foods
• Walking / cardio
• LIFTING matter a lot (This is where I am now now)
• Obesity is the worst thing the body has to endure.

I’ll add a few more from my end:

• Palatable foods. Don’t eat easy to eat stuff
• Halve the portions. Remember Jake.
