Jon Pardi hasn't ever felt higher since embracing sobriety.
“I’ve been 112 days sober and I’ve lost a bunch of weight. I was prediabetic and I was just like, ‘I gotta stop,’” the rustic singer, 38, mentioned throughout a contemporary look on Amazon Tune’s “Country Heat Weekly” podcast. “I would say I’m retired. Doesn’t mean I can’t come out of retirement, but for right now, it’s been great.”
Pardi spotted that in a while after he minimize out alcohol from his day by day existence, the load “just fell off [his] face.”
“I really was getting to the point where every picture, every video, I was so unhappy with myself,” he advised podcast hosts Amber Anderson and Kelly Sutton previous this month. “It was just where I was going, I just needed to take a break. I [recently] did a photo shoot and I was like, ‘Damn, I look good. Take that, Tito’s!’”
Pardi persisted: “For anybody that’s thinking about it, if you wanna lose weight and you do drink, let me tell ya, it does help tremendously if you stop. But then you get the ice cream, like, the sugar cravings!”
Whilst sticking to his weight reduction plans, the “Your Heart or Mine” musician every now and then can't face up to indulging in ice cream. “I’m like, ‘Well, I’m not drinking, let me get this candy bar, Twix ice cream [or] coffee ice cream,’” Pardi mentioned.
Pardi is making plans to take his new dietary behavior into 2024, along side a New 12 months’s solution to have “glowing skin.”
“Someone asked me my New Year’s resolution, and it’s gonna be facial care. Like, girls do it all the time,” he defined. “I know you probably take 15 minutes before you go to bed every night. I just [sleep while my wife] Summer’s in [the bathroom] doing whatever the hell she does and she’s like, ‘You need to put your facial lotion on!’ … I’ve got great skin because I have been putting face lotion on, like, [I] wake up, put face lotion on. Now, you gotta get that night cream [too].”
Going into the brand new 12 months, Pardi could also be taking a look ahead to functioning at January’s Crash My Playa track pageant in Cancún.
“I’m not worried about it! I’m gonna be over here drinking mocktails. Like, I’m enjoying this ride right now, I don’t need to get all dried out,” he quipped. “I’m gonna be taking my shirt off, [telling people], ‘Sup everybody. You’ve been drinking? You’re a little puffy over there.’”
