How true @itladyee - “there will always be something” I can use as an excuse. Weddings, funerals, work stress, family reunions, family problems, health issues, cruises and vacations, etc. Insert anything here!

The good news is yesterday is gone and TODAY is a gift for us to give back to ourselves and choose better.
Wishing you all a sunny day on the path!

You guys are amazing. Honestly, I was so elated to hear the good news and determination from @LittleSurferGirl7 and @chicbuc this week. We should all feel proud, a step in the right direction, an extra AF day, a commitment to check in with ourselves and getting better at lifting ourselves.

June will conclude 10 months AF for me. I don't regret it. Almost 13 lbs. off. Mammo results were good. Liver enzymes dropped about 20 points from over-the-upper-limit to well within normal parameters. Fasting blood sugar improved, dropped from borderline too high down to 90, within normal range. My blood pressure is normal. My daily afternoon crash nap doesn't happen anymore. This is what happens when the toxic "fat juice" is removed from the diet.

So happy for your day 2, @LittleSurferGirl7! We can keep the same numbers! We’ve got this!

Welcome aboard @tiff8083!

HAPPY MONDAY ALL!

Welcome @tiff8083

Hope everyone had a great weekend! Mine was the perfect mix of relaxing and eventful — started with a lovely (and planned!) wine tasting, and ended with a fun UFC fight viewing party on the military base, hosted by my husband’s company. Always cool to see events like that come together.

Now back to the grind — wrapping up this month’s stats today (and yes, I’ll update if I don’t stay AF). That said, I did hit my goal of drinking less this month compared to last — even if it’s just by one day, progress is progress and I’ll take the win!

Here’s to finishing strong and rolling into July with good energy.

AF = 18

A = 12

My stats for June:

AF 18
LA 7 (only one drink)
A 5

Sorry I've been MIA for a few days, DH and I went out of town for an extra long weekend to celebrate our wedding anniversary which was Friday. So that meant eating in nice restaurants, wine-tasting, and pub lunches with beer. I don't think I have any celebrations planned for July.🤞

@LittleSurferGirl7 WooHoo! What a wonderful gift to see that you've had two AF days while I was away. I almost teared up when I read your posts. Little steps forward… Some of us are on long journeys. You'll get there. Hugs.

@chicbuc Hi, I'm new to the group, so it's good to meet others here, and @tiff8083, congratulations for starting today, and not even waiting for the new month. This group is very encouraging.

Let's make July as dry as January and as sober as October.👏

@LittleSurferGirl7 it’s ok! Just get back up and dust off and do this for you!

@nbruns83 nice to “meet” you!

My last 3 days were AF and I think I had 2 or 3 other AF days, so not good. On to dry July!!

I’ve been AF on all work nights and some weekends, and I’m maintaining after losing 22lbs Jan-May. Generally keeping a lid on alcohol in general.

I went to a wonderful group get away this past weekend, and drank a bit each night, 3, 2, 2 drinks, I think (mostly beer, but one mixed drink). 2 is definitely better for me than 3. The only thing I noticed was reduced sleep quality. Of course, I took naps, so it wasn’t that much of an issue, but it’s interesting that my fitness watch can tell that I’d had some alcohol.

Also, I came home with a 2lb weight spike that was gone a day later. There you go: alcohol affects both my sleep and my weight. And, it takes care to keep it to 2 drinks or less.
