    Happy Mother’s Day to all the lovely LA moms out there!

    I’ve been on the coast for the weekend with my grandkids, DD and DSIL — did tide pools, beach days, pizza night, seafood, Bon fires and s’mores—what a blessed weekend in my life. Life is good. God is good. ❤️

    Am committed to making up AF days this week and sticking to my calorie goals after a little champagne today (counted).

    May goals: 18 AF days
    Current:
    AF - 4
    A - 6
    LA - 2

    A glass of wine with dinner. Resisted the urge to get a bottle of wine on the way home from the restaurant.

    Happy Mother’s Day to the mommas in the group!

    @danikat15 you are sticking to your AF goals! It’s also hard for me when I go camping not to have that adult beverage— Good job!

    So far, 11 days AF. Hit the tequila and wine on Mothers Day. Otherwise, weight loss is holding steady. Zero loss since last month but I know I am eating more. NEW: I am going to bed at 8:30, up at 4, out the door at 5 am for a 2 hr minimum walk. Makes me feel so good all day long.

    Side note: if I feel like drinking, I remind myself that alcohol damages DNA and the last thing I need right now is to give myself a life threatening ailment. I don't want chemo life, no thank you.

    I like drinking alcohol too but the reason I gained weight before was that I was drinking too much alcohol and the reason I lost weight before was because I stopped drinking alcohol.

    This is the 3rd time that I've stopped drinking alcohol to lose weight. I just did it earlier than before with weight gain of "only" 15# this time instead of at 40# of weight gain twice before.

    Everything I've ever read points to how drinking alcohol -- any alcohol -- is BAD for you but there are all kinds of things that people make excuses to do to justify doing what they do.

    You can easily Google the topic to find a long list of reasons NOT to drink alcohol and NO reason that can justify doing it medically.

    I had no problem stopping drinking alcohol this time and before. So, fortunately, I'm not an alcoholic but I can't say that I still don't "crave" a drink now and then.

    However, l think I've reached an impasse on this topic & need to make a decision about whether or not to stop drinking entirely or to try to drink in moderation (meaning much less than I drank before) in order the benefit my health and to avoid going on an AF diet again.

    I haven't made a decision about this yet and would rather not make that decision, which means that I'll probably gain weight again.

    Oh well . . .

    We have a long vacation coming up in mid June and I want to be at my lower end weight before we leave. Need to get back on track with staying within my calorie zone to drop 2-3 lbs.

    Thank you @globalhiker for mentioning the really good reasons to cut way back on alcohol! I’m right there with you, overdoing = health problems. No thank you!

    May goals: 18 AF days / 58% LA
    Current:
    AF - 5
    A - 6
    LA - 3
