    Goal: 4AF days per week. It is a short month.

    February 1 - 3 drinks
    February 2 - AF
    February 3 - 3 drinks - Superbowl was boring this year. I have to rack up some AF days!
    February 4 - AF
    February 5 - AF
    February 6 - AF
    February 7 - 3 drinks
    February 8 - AF, but was planning on some champagne in the bubble bath. I had such a nice dinner that I didn't have any calories left for champagne - heavy whipping cream chicken pesto with linguine. Lots of calories, but all within my range for the day.

    I live in a rental duplex and the landlord decided to sell the place. So now we are not sure if we're even going to be able to live here much longer and may have to move without much notice.

    Usually when things like this happen I get stressed out and drink a lot.

    @BuffMom84 I hope things workout in your favor during this rough time. Fingers crossed. 💓

    Sitting in a pub for lunch. And for the first time in what seems like, forever, I have not ordered an alcoholic drink.
    Nice going @FeelinFooFoo. This is my "new normal" and people now understand and accept it. Your a trend setter!
    Also love the goals your putting out there for everyone to see.

    Just wanted to share that I've made it through the 2nd weekend in February and still going strong AF since Jan 1! I'm amazed that it's getting easier and I don't obsess over the fact that I'm not drinking my nightly glass of wine. In January I was still struggling with trying to distract myself from it and feeling deprived. I don't feel deprived anymore, I just feel good that I'm making a healthier choice right now.

    Love 💕 and feel the same way!

    This evening is a great example of enjoying AF for me. This evening I was a bit sideways over a few things. In the past it would have EASILY been please pour the wine faster!! In turn, would always make things worse. I am thankful I was able to change my attitude and now going to enjoy the rest of the evening rather than pondering on things that are unnecessary. Win Win!
