    @Womona Your description about bolting "... into the kitchen squealing like a little girl getting the Barbie Dreamhouse like Pavlov’s freaking dog" is so funny! Ha! Love your description! I could see it happen in my mind's eye.

    Aww, thanks!!

    @mfowler883 hugs to Bentley! No wonder you’re emotional exhausted with all you have going on. I hope you can get some real rest and get on the upswing.

    I had a glass of wine Wednesday night, even though it was a planned AF night. Hubby cooked linguine and clam sauce, and A glass of wine with dinner was delightful with that particular meal. However, I also also feel bad that I blew off my planned AF
    days. I hate this conflicted feeling! At least it was only one glass, which still counts as “less alcohol”. But, between the pasta, bread and wine, my weight is not coming down!!!

    @MissMay they have these bottomless mimosa brunches at every restaurant popular with the 20-30 yo crowd in my city every saturday and sunday, It is ridiculous and so is the mess & noise afterward. The quality of what is served - both juice and booze and accompanying food is pretty bad. It seems like the way to clear out the fridges at the end of the week. And yet people go ….

    2/22: AF - I had an Athletic Brewing NA IPA last night with dinner. I also have some Heineken 0.0 on hand but they're not my favorite right now. @mfowler883 (or anyone else) Any suggestions for mixing another beer with the Heineken?
    First thing that comes to mind to mix with the Heineken 0.0 would be Heineken. My instinct is to go with same or similar, unless you're doing something like a black & tan. How does that Athletic IPA stack up?

    @mfowler883 Lagunitas IPNA is still number one on my list but Athletic IPA runs a close second. It's not bad at all. You're right on the Heineken question - mix similar with similar. I may try to make a black & tan (good idea).

    @dawnbgethealthy I hope you're feeling better and that it's not COVID.

    @forestdweller1 I am one who knows what party lines are and rotary phones. My grandma told me (just kidding!) :smile: I did have to look up the "brownie box camera" (LOL).

    @Sinisterbarbie1 Right now I can do the arms and wiggles, not much of the legs and feet, but I can work up a sweat and he just makes me laugh (and of course watching myself in the mirror is still funny). I don't have it down yet.

    @itladyee I'm also frustrated with my weight for similar reasons. Right now I'm trying to be strict with myself on tracking/planning my intake, which includes lower calorie drinks (boo!). I've stopped weighing daily because I decided I was being obsessive AND I tend to reward myself with extra food after I've had a decent weight loss day.

    I am Dawn, I live in SE BC Canada
    My ongoing goal remains, 16-20 AF days per month.
    I had 17AF days for January (a long month)

    I do this diary style to keep track, and I post the next morning

    Sunday Feb 19 - AF - I may have a couple of drinks after my pedicure on Tuesday eve.
    Monday Feb 20 - AF - Having drinks crossed my mind, but I knew that I could wait.
    Tuesday Feb 21 - 2 drinks after my pedicure - I was "feeling it" after 1 1/2. It used to be 3. Planned AF for Wednesday and Thursday.
    Wednesday Feb 22 - AF - Left work sick. 2 of my friends that I went to the comedy show with on Saturday tested positive for Covid Wednesday morning. I have tested negative so far, but haven't had the energy to test again. I will later today. I had planned AF anyway for Wednesday and Thursday. Hard to eat much less drink alcohol.
    Thursday Feb 23 - 1 1/2 drinks. Tested positive for Covid Thursday morning. I think that I got out of bed 10 times throughout the day, each feeling like a new day. Watched a little bit of TV, and the accompanying Alcohol made me feel nice and temporarily soothed. I don't even know what time that was. No hard and fast plans for AF, if I feel like it I will have it. Back to bed...

    Rolling total: 13AF days out of 23 days. 50% AF won't cut it to reach my goal in 28 days (reminder to self)
