My stomach is now fine..but I've got the sore throat and stuffy nose thing going on. It's been forever since any of us have been sick..so I guess we should count our blessings. I was looking forward to a good workout today but I think I'll give the body some rest to get over this thing.

It's made for a very mild NYE and New years though. just a few sips of champagne on NYE and 0 yesterday. Maybe some red wine tonight..just for medicinal purposes of course.. and I'm making some marinara sauce and must open the wine for that. Must not let it go to waste.
Good luck to you no, no peeps.

Hello Lushes! Happy 2013! I cannot believe it is January already & we're starting a whole new year! Seems like the holiday season just flew by!

Work has been so crazy hectic the past 3 months that I've barely posted in here, but now I'm back & hope to keep up with all the postings!

Hi mcdebbie, if one is a heavy drinker suddenly stopping cold turkey can cause delerium tremmors and can be dangerous. Before retiring after 30 years in fire and ems we saw them occaisionally. They usually happened to those who stayed drunk for days to weeks and then quit. Take care and good luck!

2 zeros...29 left to go!

I did some major damage to my back during my workout yesterday. I got a little cocky with my jumps and I had to call into work. I probably won't be able to move much today but ill keep my eating in check.

0 for me as well! It still hasn't been hard. But the weekend is almost here..... I'm all resolutionany right now though and ready to detox and stuff, so I'm still excited about not drinking. (Untill the 16th on my free pass day.)

So proud of all you doing the no booze January. I won't even kid that I'll try, instead I'll help hold down the lush thread with the few not doing it =] I certainly enjoyed the holidays and all the food and drinks that came with them. Gained a few pounds as I feel puffy and the pants are a wee bit tight but I don't regret indulging at all, just means now it's back to healthy eats and getting work outs in!

New Years Eve started drinking in the morning with champagne and cranberry then sipped them all day. Ended up drinking 3 bottles between whatever time in the morning and 2:30 in the morning and since they were paced I felt fine on New Years day can't remember the last time I wasn't hungover on New Years day, it felt amazing. We spent that day having drinks and watching shows. Had 3 glasses of wine last night. Started my 2 week cleanse kit from Whole Foods and already felt slimmer this morning. Getting lots of water and keeping food in check. Mostly poofy right now thanks to TOM but that also keeps my appetite at bay so I'll take it.

We got our new fridge and oven yesterday, our microwave is coming today and tomorrow the microwave and new dishwasher will be installed. I have to laugh because this is what I get excited about now, new things for the house.

Husbands late night tonight, I'm guessing some wine and a nice bowl of organic, creamy tomato soup for dinner while relaxing with the fur babes :happy:

Happy New Year/January one and all!! :flowerforyou:

Kat, I'm probably just kidding myself that I'll be booze-free all January. I have a sneaking suspicion that by this weekend I'll be craving my wine. I just cannot help it!

I certainly indulged TONS over Christmas and NYE! But to be fair, I have been neglecting the gym something serious since about the end of October :noway:

So...back to the grind & hopefully I can "de-puff" and feel better soon...just as soon as TOM is gone....:embarassed:

I'm so weak! Hubby & I are going to a K-State Watch Party tonight for the big game...and of course, he buys me wine. How can I possibly resist?!?!? I'll just need to step it up & kick some *kitten* at the gym tomorrow!!

Go K-State!

Well, no day 2 for me.....just had a shot and probably will have another!!
oh well....

I haven't poured any wine yet but it's coming!

I am totally impressed with the resolve to stay strong....thanks to others for keeping the thread going

9.6% of the way....Day 3
