How's everyone doing? I still find it hard to not drink during the week. Yesterday I had a two drinks and then a third one - I am very disappointed today.
I should remember that sense of disappointment when I feel like a drink tonight when cooking .....

    I've been doing OK....but I've had a raging head cold. So nothing tastes right but I think I'm over the hump and hoping to keep on track (somewhat) this coming weekend! Being that it's a holiday I'm gonna have to stick a post-it on my forehead but we'll see how it goes! :bigsmile:

    Wonder how everyone is going. Quietly slipping back in bad habits or totally adjusted to a (far) smaller alcohol in take?
    Cheers

    Well, you are not alone: I am enjoying an alcoholic weekend. I am enjoying it and yet I feel that I am letting the group down.
    The last two weeks have been very bad.
    Monday tomorrow - back to ginger ale.
    I will check in every day again - it worked for me in those successful weeks.
    All good.
    Cheers

    I wasn't going to drink during the week. But yesterday I knocked back 4 mixed drinks, 2 shots in each. Then, I slammed 2 beers. After posting it, I was over my calories. So I didn't eat anything since breakfast. Today...I feel like crap. You know what I want to do when I feel like crap? Drink to get over it. I did so well last week. Now I'm back to old habits. I cannot change. How will I ever lose if I keep drinking? I have to eat food sometime. Ugh. Help.

    I have not checked the posts for a week and I apologize for not getting back to you earlier. I am back to bad habits and weight is back to where it used to be: hips and tummy.
    I know why: a lot of stress at work and a lot of in fighting and back stabbing. Basically, I am not in a good place at the moment hence the drinking. What about you? Good place or bad place?

    Umm not good... Bottle of red last night...and a bottle of wine with my name on it in the fridge chilling now... Upside did go to the gym today, have also hurt my calf muscle so tested it out at the gym after some easy elliptical, rower and bike and walking (15 mins of each) then ran for 4 mins on treadmill and started tweaking again...damn it...

    I hope that you did enjoy it!
    :-)
    Every day is a new day to try and to hang in there.
    Even one alcohol free day is already a win.
    Never give up ...
    Cheers

    Do weights and walk if you can.
    Does it help if you realize how many calories are in a bottle?
    I have not been on the scales for 2 weeks.
    Having great problems at the club of which I am President: back stabbing etc. I can't handle that: not my scene so I come home and I have a drink.
    I purely drink because I am upset.
    I hope that your calf will heal soon again, do weights and may be a swim to help your calf muscle?
    Cheers

    It has been very quiet and I wonder how everyone is going. I have good days and I have had bad days; unnecessary to say that in combination with 30 minutes exercise every day, the AFD's made me loose weight so easily. I am flying back home today after two weeks in Adelaide. From Monday onwards it will be a home straight to Christmas: first guests arriving 14 December .... Exactly 3 months from Sunday.
    Watch this space.
    Good luck everyone!
