3 Day AF out of 4 for August
I get a Covid test today and assuming its negative we get to fly to Spain on Friday for a last week of sun before the schools start again.
I've actually just had my second vaccine but as it was less than 2 weeks ago I still need a negative test.
Anyway happy Thursday everyone and good luck with todays goals. Not that you'll need it you all rock!11 -

I had drinks Wednesday night and let's just say it was more than my planned "2 max". I'm back on the water and drinking lots of it.
@mainelylisa your blood sugar values look pretty good to me. The stress of me trying to poke myself would probably register a 125.
I have to work on my numbers since my check up is next month and they'll get me on the blood sugar and cholesterol. The last thing I want is medication or having to go for return visits. This is motivation for me to stay on track now.

It's so great to see Newbies and Returnees here...and to see people hitting their targets. And being accountable even when not hitting them occasionally, but remember the long game. Any (more) drinks desired and not consumed is a win!
2ish months AF. I'm gonna have to find that one-way Uber ride to "dinner" to calculate the exact time, lol.
I might have to make some chipotle meatloaf. I'm craving it for some reason.7 -
4 AF / 4 days
It's been tough, especially since my DH has been out on a business trip this week, leaving me home alone with the "bottles"... 1 more AF, then he will be home and we can celebrate "a little" tomorrow night!9 -
🎶 "I will do anything for an alcohol free day, but I won't do that.🎶🎤 LOL
Now I want meatloaf for dinner to. Thanks Lisa 😆
@Stockholm_Andy we just keep running with it.
Accountability thus far:
4AF

@Lilylady3k I like that you planned for your weekend meals with a wine pairing.
As planned AF 4/4 days.7 -
"I'd lie for you (and that's the truth" darn meatloaf @Stockholm_Andy That is one song that has happened to me in the past....glad that day is gone
AF last night and it is too much trouble to go to the store to satisfy a craving tonight....
So should be/ will be AF tonight...after all my goal is only once per week and Thursday is just not my day....I think I will wait for Saturday or maybe Sunday afternoon9 -

@LazyBlondeChef - I don't plan ahead all the time but we usually do have a nice red wine with steak once per week. In the past month steak night fell during a week day. But since DH & I both have our annual physical and blood work on Friday morning I pushed steak night out to Saturday night. And since college (I'm 60 now) I still like a drink on Friday ... though it is no longer quarter beer night from my college days!
Good luck with your goals ... planning is easier than making those last minute decisions (I'm personally discovering). Don't know why it took me so long to figure that out.9 -
August goal is at least 2 AF days for every 1 drinking day (So 21 AF and 10 drinks days max). On the drinks days I plan to have no more than 2.
AF again today. Staying on plan and feel great.

Never!!!7 -
AF for the last two nights. Tonight I’m sure I’ll have wine with dinner. But only one! Someone was mentioning being such a lightweight now. Yep! It’s amazing how tolerance does alcohol goes down when we ratchet back out consumption.

AF yesterday, as planned. Running this morning, as planned. Mind says, just follow the plan and all will fall into place.
Enjoy your Friday!5 -

WOW! First time in forever I made it through my M-Th AF challenge without joining DH in the nightly very nice bottles of wine that are opened. There was even one bottle that I asked that he save since it was one of my favorites but he opened it as a 2nd bottle one night ... said he would buy me another. ARGH
I did take one sip out of his glass on Tues night to try a wine that I've not had but did not take another sip or pour myself a glass which was a win.
Feeling ready for 🩺 Annual Physical & bloodwork today
August accountability: 4/30 days AF
