Do you ever feel life is just not fair? DH drank heavily 4 nights in a row plus ate way more than me and he ended up being down 5 lbs this week. Oh well! I'll take being down 1.3 lbs and feeling like I slept better than him.

just checkin-in... had 2 drinks yesterday, husband was BBQing, and just sounded good. No ill effects this morning, moderation is good!
We decided to have a really small BBQ next Sat for his birthday, it has been so long since we have done anything like that, except a couple of times having my Sons over. We need to branch out sometime. I am hoping to be AF for the rest of this week, and will indulge again on Saturday. Back to my Monday work, ugh.

Catpuccino patiently waiting for the first fire of the season.

Mushrooms stuffed with Crab Imperial for dinner tonight. Undecided whether or not to open a bottle of white to go with. The wine will probably win, but not more than a couple tiny glasses.
74 on Thursday...Happy Friday birthday to @MissMay !!

We are basically out of everything in our bar cabinet ... well almost. I had the makings in the cabinet for skinny margaritas. DH was able to pull together a margarita which he usually doesn't drink. I decided to stick with water again tonight.

I am Dawn. 60 years old, I live in SE BC
My goal has remained the same, one that I feel comfortable with: 16-20AF days each month.

Wednesday September 23rd - AF - Determined to get 3 more AF days this month. The NHL play-offs went to the National Network for the remaining few games, so I get the channel at home, where I now am back to. A Caesar and a Beer would be really good to have with the game, but I need to catch up on a couple of AF days first. Maybe for Friday night's game I will have a couple. I am still off on holidays until next Tuesday : - )
Thursday September 24th - AF - Last night was my first AF in awhile, and the scale was up 3 pounds this morning! Almost made me want to have drinks tonight because I am drinking less to lose weight. Talked myself out of drinks. Anyway, I need at least a couple more AF days for the month.
Friday September 25 - AF - The hockey game went into overtime (Tampa won the game) so it might have been good that I was AF or I might have had extra drinks for the duration. I need at least one more AF day. Very important hockey game on Saturday night, might have drinks.
Saturday September 26th - Drinks. I had to switch over to water since the game went to Overtime again. Not interested in puking tonight lol.
Sunday September 27 - AF - Hit my 16. I may or may not have drinks while watching the hockey game tomorrow night. Great series!
Monday September 28 - Drinks watching the NHL play-offs. Tampa Bay won the Stanley Cup!! No regrets on having drinks whatsoever.

Rolling total 16AF days out of 28 days so far.
