    Ugh! Did not stay AF tonight. I feel like I can only pretend that I am ok in social situations when I'm drinking. I am looking forward to some alone time when I get back to AZ on 10/1. Then I won't have to pretend for anyone. Onward to September.

    8/11 AF
    8/12 AF
    8/13 3 drinks
    8/14 2 drinks
    8/15 AF
    8/16 2 Michelob Ultra at golf (planned)
    8/17 3 Michelob Ultra planned AF
    8/18 4 Michelob Ultra (on the bright side it is only 395 calories and I was on plan for the day.)
    8/19 2 Michelob Ultra, 1 glass of crappy cab. (At late husband's family dinner.)
    8/20 2 1/2 Michelob Ultra. 1 after golf early pm, 1 while talking to neighbors, 1/2 at home alone. I will count as a victory that I was able to pour it out rather than drinking it.
    8/21 AF
    8/22 4 Michelob Ultra over course of afternoon / evening
    8/23 2 Michelob Ultra
    8/24 AF
