    Only 12 more nights of Dry January! The more time goes by, the easier it is...I didn't even crave wine last night which is amazing for me. Most Saturday nights I make a gluten free veggie pizza from scratch and I normally have a glass of wine while making the dough and another while it's in the oven. Last night I had cherry Bubly in a wine glass instead.

    Is anyone planning to keep going dry after January? I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet.

    Hi! I always drink wine while cooking and with Dry January this has not been an option. It has been easier than anticipated!! I am sticking with dry Feb until I hit my weight goal. In February though I may have a few glasses here and there. Nothing compared to last Feb!

    Day 19 with no drinking for me. Eating clean and exercising to kick off 2019. I feel better, sleep better and have way more energy! I use to drink 4 - 6 tall boys of beer everyday!! I’ve lost 5.2 lbs so far ☺️ however I thought I would be down a lot more considering the amount of beer and calories I was consuming? Perhaps I just need to give it some more time. I also am on day 7 of a herbal liver flush to help regenerate my liver! (2 Tbsp a day - omega alpha liver flush)

    Question: Realistically, shouldn’t I be seeing a bigger weight loss after not consuming approx 1500+ calories of beer daily? Aprox 10,000/week? Anybody?

    I think 5lbs is good start...like the liver flush idea... Milk whistle is supposedly good supplement. I get liver function test every year as part of my yearly exam. Was surprised last year that one of the upper limits of the liver tests was lowered..the ALT enzyme went from UL of 55 to 35 because too many were passing but in long term presented with problems.

    Since I have more time from not drinking, I have been enjoying journaling again. Found a great free app called: 365 Gratitude: Diary, Journal. It prompts you with question. I will post an example of today’s questions.
