    I'm on day 34 of the 75 Hard challenge which includes NO alcohol.

    Won't lie, there have been a few days I REALLY wanted a glass of wine or to enjoy an adult beverage with a friend.

    But I've stuck to it, not going to fail now that I've gotten through the holidays with no misses!

    Wow!!! Thats awesome!

    I just had to look up this challenge and I backed out before I’d even read all the challenge aspects 😂 well done for getting so far with it

    I was doing it.

    I’m not now. Maybe that means I should be?

    But but but... I watch what I eat. I work out. A little booze is my only vice left.

    And I been locked down for four zillion years. I need SOMETHING.

    But I am in awe of anyone who can.

    Ha! I totally get where your coming from RunneeGirl!! I workout basically 6 days a week and eat well. I like thinking I deserve a bit of relax time. Especially this crappy year. But I have a small health issue and dry January is another 'try'.

    I’m doing this also I suppose. Sine I haven’t had any alcohol in years (don’t like the taste) maybe I don’t count.

    No, it's supposed to be a *challenge*, and since it's no challenge for you (or me) our abstinence does not count ;)

    I'm cooking some eggplant parmesan for tonight....trying to think of something better than red wine to go with it...coffee?

    Yum!!! That calls for a nice bold red. Oh wait. This dry January has more pitfalls than I thought.😊
    Lemon water?

    i find myself wanting to snack more since I'm not drinking, so not sure that's going to help with weight loss...

    That's interesting, I usually find the opposite!

    I am not 100% because I only started on the 2nd, not the 1st, but so far sticking with it. How is everyone else doing?
