never break a promise to my son

It's been 3 days since I dropped my son off of college. I made a promise to him that I would lose 35 lb by Christmas. I'm down four and a half pounds. Just from eating healthier and drinking less. Doctor says I need to give up hard liquor so that started this weekend. Had a couple beers this weekend but I think I'm going to limit alcohol to only on weekends. And only beer. Going to be off the PlayStation by 8:00 p.m. on work nights. Sleep has to get better. Once I'm under 300 lb I will set up a sleep study. Blood pressure is finally under control but the doctors worried about my liver hence the giving up hard liquor. Not all together but in the amount that I was consuming. Tomorrow I need to set up a new workout routine and everyday at lunch I will be going to the gym to do some form of cardio. I'm 48 years old I'm not getting any younger and I need to lose the weight to be around for my family in the later years. Plus I want to make my son proud of me. He's going to be a doctor and I need to show him that I can do the things that I say I'm going to do.

I haven't given up smoking because right now that's a crutch I'm using to get out of all the alcohol. I only smoke cigars and usually only on Sunday nights while I sit in the back patio and watch TV for a few hours. Let's see how this goes got to close this for now but I'll check in again tomorrow night to see how everything's going with my progress. 

If anyone reads this I appreciate it but if not it just stands as a live journal for me to look back at to make sure that I follow through with my promises.
