Beer, Blunders, and a New Year's Reboot
months without beer. If you’d told me I could go that long, I’d have laughed so hard I might’ve spilled my pint. But there I was, on Christmas Day, sipping my first beer in half a year, and you know what? It was glorious. The kind of glorious that makes angels sing and pigs in blankets taste even better. But here’s the kicker: once the glass was empty, I wasn’t desperate for another. The old me would’ve turned Christmas into a marathon of malt and hops, but not this time. This time, I was content. It felt like a quiet victory—a toast to surviving a year that’s been equal parts chaos and clarity. Of course, while my beer habit stayed under control, my festive eating habit took the reins and sped straight to 16.3 stones. It’s not ideal, but it’s not the end of the world either. Seeing the numbers creep up again has reminded me why I started this journey—and given me the kick I needed to get back on track. Here’s to a healthier, happier new year and a summer without t-shirt explosions!

For now, I'm embracing the festive chaos, because honestly, January can deal with the consequences.
