    A list we can explore? 100 most popular non alcoholic beverages in the world. I've only tried about 14 of these listed ... mostly types of coffee or tea. Fun to read all the descriptions and origins. I need to search for Julmust (Christmas juice) and see if anyone around here carries it (Ikea). Description of Julmust: Swedish soft drink ... dark, sweet soda that has many similarities to both Coca-Cola and Root Beer. It is made up of sugar and water and there is hop extract and malt ... but the spices are a secret. Two of the biggest Julmust brands in Sweden are Nygårda and Apotekarnes.

    Can not lie.... I wrote that wrong.

    It should be:
    21 AF out of 26 October days (my streak is since Oct 17, only 10 days thus far)

    I am Dawn and live in South East British Columbia. I am 60.
    My goal remains the same as it has been for quite some time, 16-20 AF days per month.

    Friday October 23 - AF - Always happy to see that 16AF number.
    Saturday October 24 - Drinks. Awesome busy day today.
    Sunday October 25 - AF - Planning on racking up a few more AF days before the month is over.
    Monday October 26 - AF - Easy decision, early workday on Tuesdays.
    Tuesday October 27 - AF - Cracker of a workday, but tomorrow is my 2 year anniversary on MFP, so I want to weigh as little as possible and thus remained AF : - )

    Rolling total: 19 AF days out of 27 days so far.

    My face was cut off when trying to change my profile photo. I saw this pretty leaf on the ground on the trail and took a picture, using it instead : - )

    Dawn I remember you joined us in October , but was not sure the date. HAPPY TWO YEARS of accountability and drinking LESS! Let's not forget your weight loss too.
    Sorry your photo could not be shrunk down. It is such a great picture of you. AND you have already hit next to your high goal mark.
    Your rock'n.
