    @jugar Thanks for the advice. I love the idea of making an appointment for my dance. I will let you know how that goes. I did get a few strange looks while driving. Lol, Super job of going for the coconut water.

    @Jessica I am glad you are feeling better. Sounds like you ARE determined to win the wellness club. You're doing great!

    Super job, @daria0919

    Today I danced while doing chores and cooking. I had a great time. lol.

    Woohoo! Dancing @Learningmoments :smiley: Especially while doing chores and cooking. I always like the vegetable / cheese grater as my rhythm section. Or the mop or broom - keep the beat going!

    @jessicakrall8 I hope you're feeling better! Vacation sounds good for sure. Keep those steps coming!

    I'm keeping up with you @daria0919 - the AF streak is ongoing!

    Happy Thanksgiving All! 🦃

    I’m still chocolate free! Yay us!!

    I hope everyone takes a bit of time to dance today. Dance away and think of something you’re thankful for.

    My AF streak is going well too! Glad to have made this commitment. Although I did, unusually for me, make some chocolate chip oatmeal cookies yesterday. They are really good - I think they are headed for my son's house today!

    Slipped on the chocolate front. Had some protein bars with mini chocolate chips in them. That’s day 8 with chocolate.

    Still, out of 66 days, I’m ok with that.

    I have been slacking on getting in here to count the days! I think Daria and I had a mind meld the other day or something - I had one day with a beer in it. But otherwise, all the days have been alcohol free and things are good!

    I am reading a scripture and a short story a day from "The Daily Devotional on Prayer".

    I fell off the wagon
    1) My cruise. I had full intention to continue. I didn't want to lug the book so I made copies of enough pages to get me through....but didn't do it.
    2) Then returned to proceed with my move and no structure or organization to my day...so again, didn't do it.

    I will aim for the remaining 30 days of December!
    It's still more than I've done in the past. :)

    31/100 (missed first two days)

    Only 30 days left in the year!!! We're getting close :smile:

    In November I had alcohol on 3 occasions, no more than 2 beers at any one time. So far in the 70 days, I have had 7 days that were not alcohol free. I will allow myself 3 in December to hit a 90 of 100 days - I figure 90% is pretty good!

    We can do this, folks - thanks for sticking with it. 100 days seems long, but we'll finish off 2023 better than we would have if we didn't do this, right?

    I’m still chocolate free as well. I’ve had chocolate 8 times out of the last 70 days.
    I used to buy a chocolate bar or sometimes even two at the register when grocery shopping. I’ve stopped that completely thanks to this last 100 day challenge.

    I’m thinking ahead….

    May we do a first 100 day challenge at the start of 2024?

    Was out with my husband last night at an event related to him and they had chocolate cake and cheesecake for dessert options. I didn’t have either. The chocolate cake looked so rich and chocolaty and I really wanted some, but didn’t.

    Still continuing my no chocolate days!

    26 days to go…

    So out of 74 days I’ve only had very very small amounts on 8 of them.

    My goal is to go the rest of the 26 days with saying ‘no to chocolate.’

    You are doing so great @daria0919 ! We're tied at 66 days out of 74 so far, but you're a bit more ambitious than I am :smiley: I'm allowing 2 more days with a small indulgence to end up at 90/100.

    @jessicalkrall8 you too! Great mileage, even with crazy work schedules.

    And yeah - why not something for the first 100 days of 2024? Let's think on how we might make that even more enticing.

    @jugar and the last few days not feeling 100% but not sure if that's stress or just coming down with something...I was never so glad to see the weekend arrive...going to try and relax some to rebuild some strength. Thanks for your kind words...the only thing that keeps me sane lately is my walking...

    I'm not 100% right now either. Things have been extra tough this past week and I have not kept to my plan. Down 2 more days, but not terrible either time. Just trying to get through the tough days in perhaps not a great way, but it has led to some fantastic connections with my taller half. SO, I'm not too worried. Onward we go!

    EEEK! Hit my 90% mark for these 100 days earlier than I wanted to! I may end up the year a bit below my target... Still I'm glad that I have kept alcohol free for 90% so far. I don't think I'll be too far off that mark by the end.

    Had a small amount of chocolate a few days ago, so that’s 9 days of chocolate. With only 13 days to go, hopefully I’ll continue my healthy approach to not eating much chocolate.

    Well, today was not alcohol free, but aggravation was at a huge high! The alcohol was not a big amount, but I had hoped not to have any today. Only one more day in December to keep to my 90% goal - probably will hit 88%. Still not too bad...

    @jugar I think that I need to check in here each day until the end of the year. I think that making myself go here will make me more aware of my commitment and bring me into the home stretch.
    Yesterday was chocolate free 😀

    Have you started putting together and small or big goals for 2024??

    Uh oh. You guys are showing me up! I just got down to my dad and stepmother's for Xmas, and there has been some alcohol. I am still proud of how many AF days I have had in this 100 days, but the next few might not be among them! I am certainly keeping the amounts small and reasonable, so I am not worried about it. As soon as this visit is over, it will be back to a solid AF time again.
