Spectacular photos!!! Do you have an actual camera or were those taken with your phone?
So lovely.
OMG Dawn thank you for the hilarious laugh from those vids. How can you not like that dude, right?
Take care of that ankle if you go skating. YEESH!
My husband's Uncle has an amazing fancy huge camera and he was showing me how to use it the other night and those are the photos I snapped with it. Any other time the photos are just from my phone camera.3 -
Hi all, quick fly-by. Hoping you’re all having a good week. I’m very inspired by each of you! This is such a great community, ans I feel really blessed to be part of it. I love hearing about everything, the good and the bad. High fives to those who are meeting their goals, and hugs to those who fell down, and to those struggling with stuff right now.
Went to dinner last night, 1 glass of wine, but am AF tonight. The weight is coming down!
As always great to hear from you. What no tennis lately? LOL5 -

I lived on the East Coast and was impressed with our sunrises all the time. Because we received the sun coming up first in the United States. I once sat on top of Cadillac Mountain with my Sister from 3:00AM until after the sun came up. Surprisingly the place got really crowed with people all wanting to experience the same thing while wrapped in blankets so we would not freeze to death up there.
NOW.... watching it set here on the West coast is amazing. You can literally see how fast it is moving. If you turn your head to talk to someone for just 30 seconds, it has already moved a huge distance.4 -
Nice job @lilylady3k even with the fam back in the house and your hubby having a few.
BIG THUMBS UP4 -
Hello everyone
Well broke my alcohol rule this week. Went for beer and lunch yesterday afternoon. Stopped at 2 so that is good. But last night, I face planted into a bag of rolo's, butter mints and cheese puffs. ... as I drank mocktails. Go figure?
My body is sore from working out Monday and Tuesday. Taking two weeks off may have not been a good idea.
ok going to scoot
I am more worried about you eating that strange, VERY STRANGE combination of junk. Then the fact you had another beer.

I LOVE all the pictures...thank you ! And well said @MissMay - Agree the mission of this group is not a short-term challenge, it is a self-discovery journey into finding our happiest and healthiest selves.
Day 11 AF. I do still have 3 Lagunitas IPNA in the fridge in case I need them. They are great. If I get an urge to drink, even during work if someone has irritated me, I can go and have a few sips and that really works. Goes to show how much of this is mental.
My plan for tomorrow is to re-focus away from "me" and on the people in my immediate circle and see how I can help them.

@lmlmrn you totally sound like me the first two weeks I stopped drinking. I was eating anything hat was snack-like. Nothing wrong with Rolos (well, a bit too sweet) but Ghirardelhi semi-sweet chocolate chips though is where it's at. I had a little bowl of those every night during weeks one and two with no wine, and they did the trick.

DH and I usually go to our local fav place on Wednesday nights (it’s “burger night”). We go early, the bartenders know to give me my “special glass” and top it with Prosecco… we stay for a few, order food to go and home by 8. Last night, DH asked if I wanted to go. I said I didn’t really want to go there and not drink. He said “what? You sound like an alcoholic!” Ok, I know I might be a bit oversensitive and irritable, but I took that really hard. Am I unreasonable to think that it is normal for someone to not want to sit literally at a bar and have a glass of Diet Coke, when my habit was usually to enjoy my favorite drink? I did let him know that I didn’t like or appreciate that comment, and he did apologize.
Anyway, AF last night. And no burger either. 😜
Happy Thursday,
Georgia

Hello! It’s Amanda, I’m back. It’s a new month and a new year! I’ve been thinking about 2022 and 2023. I’ve got some goals for the year and staying 98% AF is one of them. I love this group, I love this thread, it really works.
1/1-1/7: 7 out of 7 AF
1/8: AF
1/9: AF
1/10: AF
Had some cravings yesterday. Just one little drink. Then I thought about the dry mouth, the racing heart beat, the nausea and heartburn and kicked the craving right out of my head!
18 days AF
1/11: AF
More cravings yesterday. I feel like the more I lose control of things around me, the more I want a drink. I joined a cancer support group yesterday, I had to be interviewed for it, to make sure I was “the right fit.” This must be one helluva group! I have an MRI and CT scan tonight after work, yeehaw! I’m going to do my best to not drink when I get home. Maybe I’ll be too tired.

@GeeBee08505 Georgia, Way to stand up for you! On the alcohol and burger front.
I also wanted to say I saw you on the Success Stories page and you are awe inspiring. Glad to have you here with us!3 -
1/11: AF - We stayed AF last night. The Lagunitas NAs go a lot faster when there are two of us drinking them. The plan is still AF until the weekend.
Rolling Total: 8 AF Days out of 11

@mfowler883 Glad that no stiches were required! Your story brought back some great memories. They're not as fancy as yours but I have several pocket knives that were my dad's. He always kept them very sharp. One is worn down in it's width due to the repeated sharpening over the years.4

@joans1976 Big virtual hugs to you.3

@dawnbgethealthy Thanks for the new dance cardio videos! I can't wait to check them out. Love that he pulled in Grandma and Mom! I'll have to do it before next Wednesday's foot surgery!3
