Again, you know, it's not every day you can say that this was hands down, no question, best night of my life. But then, you know, all right, now what?

COVID. COVID kept me home for a year. And in that time that I was home for a year, I started eating better. I didn't drink as much. Really? I probably didn't drink at all. And I started working out. So I probably lost 70 pounds that year. Come on. Yeah. Wow. Because I was able to be consistent. I wasn't on the road, so I was home. I was able to get into a routine.

My friend, personal trainer, we were hanging out all the time. So we were just like, we were hanging out and working out. We were walking, working out.

So it was just that whole year, I dropped... I dropped 70 pounds. Wow. Wow. And then as soon as we went back to work, I gained back about 40 of that. So fortunately, I still kept a little bit of that progress off. But yeah, I'm not where I was in 2020. 2020, when everybody was kind of getting sick, I actually got better. Interesting.

So if I was to take a year off and that's another reason, too, I says, well, you know, if I keep grinding it out there, all I'm doing on the road is making bad decisions. I'm drinking. I'm eating. I'm just I'm not sleeping the way I should. I'm just I'm it's it's taxing. You know, it's go, go, go travel, travel, travel.

You're just, it's, you're all over the place and I'm not doing myself any good. And so that's another reason where I was like, oh, this isn't, you know, I should probably go away from this. And so that was one of the things about the retirement and then everything else that was happening.

Oh, I know I could. And it's so much easier to make excuses. And the problem I have is I'm really, really good at making excuses. Oh, I have to go do this tour or they need me. Oh, I wish I could. But, you know, yeah. And the problem is that I believe my own excuses, you know, and that's a tough one, man. I know that half the time I'm like, come on, man, really?

Well, again, having the conversation. I don't have these conversations. People in my circle aren't going to pull me aside and go, you know, you really should stop eating so much and drinking so much. And, you know, it wouldn't kill you to lift up freaking weight. You want to go for a walk?

it is an uncomfortable conversation because I'm, I'm being very vulnerable about the fact that this is a problem I have that I haven't addressed. And, uh, I don't, I can make a million, I can make a million excuses, but in reality, it's, it's just, it's just me. Yeah. You know? Yeah. So the best way to support me is the fact that we're having this conversation.

Oh, yeah. Those are tough words. I had to learn a lot of those words in therapy. Accountability.
