Incredible!!! Wow @mainelylisa that is impressive! Bravo to you! OK, I'm motivated now. I want to hear more - did you get a motivation burst once the wine was out of the way.....did you count calories, etc?

I'm out the door, it's my fun day. Going for a run and then a hike this afternoon. Lunch out in-between. I have wine at lunch planned but will be wine-less tonight and same for Sunday.

Enjoy your weekend everyone....

Hi all, didn’t want the month to escape without checking on your progress and sharing mine. You may remember my post earlier this month on the 8th day of an AF streak. The next week, we headed back to Florida where health streaks traditionally end—except this time, it didn’t. Instead of falling off the wagon, I walked 3-5 miles each day for a total of 75+ Miles over 15 days. My social go-to beverage was club soda with a splash of cranberry, Lemon & lime. And I stopped at 2, switching to water while we all partied on. I mentioned stopping because I’m one who couldn’t stop at 2 with daily alcoholic beverages. So during this streak—every AF beverage (except water) ended after 2. Hoping it helps me instill limits.
So now heading into my 60th birth month, I still have a long way to go to get the ole bod back in proportion but I see progress and feel so much better on the daily. I completely agree and understand what @mainelylisa was saying about having more time to do so many worthwhile things when I do not drink alcohol. I feel confident that I will trade alcohol for walking another month in November. My birthday wish is that all of you will stick to your goals, power through the hard times and love yourselves no matter what. Happy Halloween!
