Daily accountability - booze & workouts

fitbethlin

Everyone has their own weaknesses that lead to having a less healthy body. My main weakness is accountability, so I'm hoping that if I post here everyday that will help, even if no one is reading but me.

I think my two other weakest areas are:

• Binge drinking (4+ drinks at once at least once a month, for my own definition)
• Not working out

So, in the interests of keeping it simple, I'm just going to set two simple goals for each day. I'll revist the plan and think about adding or changing goals after a few weeks or perhaps a month.

• No more than 2 drinks on any day.
• Do one workout every day.

29 Jan 2018: So far it seems to be working to have public accountability, even if no one but me is looking! Lol.

So far, so good. Keep going.

If it's any help, I read somewhere recently, (earlier this month I think) that people who stopped drinking for 30 days lost 4.5 lbs. Mighty encouraging, I think.

Wishing you success.

Thanks for the support!! Booze is a hard one for me to give up, but I figure stepping down is well within my current reach. In 30 days, I might drop it down more, but for now I'm plenty content with this type of moderation.

Today, I met the goals!

*2 beers at my skeeball league
*Gym in the morning, a 10 minute workout and a 10 stretching break during the work day, plus walking to and from the bar for skeeball
