    This is a great idea. I am in! Could be tough on weekends; but alcohol is the one occasional vice I have that I know is getting in the way of even greater progress.

    Let's do this thing!!!

    I find it funny how so many people are halfway in! Just DO IT! This is gonna suck with the start of a new semester and no wine, but it's for the best.

    My body forced me to stop drinking cold turkey. 1st it was beer that made me sick as a dog suddenly. It's like an allergy switch turned on instantly one day and I haven't touched it since. Then any hard liquor. I tried a margarita a few months ago and about passed out from 1/2 of one. It was bad. Then wine started to do the same thing so I just said screw it and quit all alcohol a couple months ago for good. It's definitely poison in our bodies. So I'll join you all and cheer you on.

    OK! Another reason to join in the challenge. (No, that's not me, but you know, I could see it happening.)

    Yes!

    So now, August is officially Metabolism Boosting Month -
    60 minutes of working out each day - starting on 8/1 with a 6AM spinning class
    Lots of cross training and yoga
    Two 1.5 mile dogs walks per day
    Vitamins D, B, C, E, and cal/mag each day
    Lots of 200 calories meals throughout the day
    8 hours of sleep per night.
    NO ALCOHOL

    Missing anything?

    I think it would be good to check in to put on blast what we avoided when it comes up. Like, "Only sober at karaoke. I sang anyways cause they were all too drunk to notice I suck." WIN :)

    "I'll be with you in spirits" too funny.

    I will commit to no shots for the month of august. How's that? will probably save me $80 over the course of the month.
    hehe. Friday shots are free... and plentiful. but even harder to turn down!

    No shot August, I'm in for that.

    I'm in also. I think this is exactly what I need. It may be harder said then done with the bottle I have in the cabinet. I should give it away to avoid the temptation.
