    I will post some fun 3 minute dance workouts here when you are ready, just say the word.
    @globalhiker mentioned some of the benefits, for sure circulates blood, loosens joints, works on mental as well as emotional health, and of course the physical results.
    Finding something that you love to do is key to making it a habit.

    @dawnbgethealthy Congrats on the 16!!! That's my goal too. Unless I fall off the deep end, I will make it this month. p.s. Do post those dance cardio videos. I'm interested!

    @sunnydays930 Congrats on the 28 days! I agree with Amanda. You are making huge steps!

    So you like swimming. That is great and likely more gentle on your body than other things.
    When you say that it is 12 degrees I guess that is Celsius. You are in Southern Ontario? Hopefully you can find a nice indoor pool somewhere to get the blood moving and accelerate the healing from your surgery. (Not to mention endorphins and all of that great stuff)

    I am Dawn, I live in SE BC Canada
    My primary motivation for drinking less is weight loss.
    I throw up if I have more than 3 drinks, so moderation on drink days is rarely an issue for me lol.
    My recurring goal is 16-20 AF days per month. I squeaked to 16 last month.

    I like to do this diary style to keep track.

    Tuesday December 27 - AF - 4 inches of water on top of ice when I left for work. I had a wonderful pedicure after work, but of course when I came home with flip flops on so as not to wreck my toes I had to walk through freezing cold water to get into my house. I definitely felt like having drinks, and I usually do on pedicure days (every 5-6 weeks). I have split shifts Wednesday and Thursday, plus skating at the arena during my 2 hour afternoon break and a job for Foster Grant on Thursday during my split break, so that was the motivation that I used to stay AF. Hit my 16 : - )
    Wednesday December 28 - AF - Late busy night at work, $$ in my pocket which makes up for it : - ) Planning to stay AF until Friday, planning Prosecco for NYE Saturday. Weight always always comes down when I am AF


    Rolling total - 17AF day out of 28 days

    @dawnbgethealthy Thanks for the dance cardio suggestions! I watched Phone and loved it (one of my favorite, funny Lizzo songs). I can't wait to try them out.

    @joans1976 I have found that letting them think it is their idea to want to drink less is the key. Pushing or even nudging seemed to always work in reverse for me helping those in denial. 🤞🤞🤞

    That is sage advice for any situation!!!!
