@ducky133

3 drinks is my max, even when I was drinking daily - I puke if I have more.

Yes, sometimes I make smaller drinks - if I want to have 5 or 6 drinks lol, 1/2 shots. Not often though, moreso just more AF days

Hi : - )
My name is Dawn.
My continuing goal is 16-20 AF days per month.
I had 19AF days in June.

Diary style:


Wednesday July 27 - AF - Yay to hitting my 16. Knowing that I had Thursday off tempted me, but going to a lake with a bloated belly was the motivation I used not to. Planned AF until Saturday night. Very hot here. @globalhiker I went to Jimsmith Lake after work - quite busy, but close to my house and I needed to cool off. Thursday will be a full lake day at one of my favourite lakes for floating : - )
Thursday July 28 - AF - Awesome day at one of my favourite lakes. Planned AF for Friday night.
Friday July 29 - AF - Working a split on Saturday (normally my day off) and am planning to have drinks afterward. Perhaps the last hot night. It has been 38 degrees every day here downtown, and is supposed to drop to 28 starting on Sunday. (100.4F and 82.4F)
Saturday July 30 - Drinks. Planned AF for Sunday to hit 19 for the month is the plan


Rolling total - 18AF days out of 30 days.

I was one day short of my goal for the month but this is still a win for me. I'm looking forward to joining the group for the August challenge! It really makes a difference to do this tracking and accounting. For the most part, I met my weekly goal and cut back on the number of drinks on the A days.

I had 19AF days in June.

Saturday July 30 - Drinks. Planned AF for Sunday to hit 19 for the month is the plan
Sunday July 31 - AF - Very hot day, went to the lake and ended up plugging both of my ears when I dove under. Wax melting in the heat and then pushing solidly in and solidifying with the cool water and pressure? Yikes. Drove home without being able to hear the traffic or the radio. Did I feel like having a drink? Yep.


Rolling total - 19AF days out of 31 days.

@dawnbgethealthy Great job! I came close! My goals are very similar to yours. I missed my July goal only by a day, which is still a big win for me.

All - Here is the link to the August challenge or whatever this is called. Thanks @MissMay for getting it started!
