I love the conversation today around cravings and how they can pass @Womona, @globalhiker, and @Jthanmyfitnesspal.
I’m going to spend time letting that in today as it’s really powerful. I know how easily I can cave without being thoughtful and intentional in a decision to have a glass or just one more. Always learning here, thanks!

Hi All! Robyn here drinking less for overall health and weight loss. I usually post the next morning. I'm shooting for 16 AF days in October.
Thu 10/12: I made it three days AF, which was my goal. Tonight is date night, with a couple of planned drinks. Rolling Total: 3 AF Days out of 114 -

@Michieb125 Wishing you a very happy birthday week!
@MissMay - Hope you have a marvelous time in Vegas. We were there recently for the first time; flew into Vegas for a trip to the Grand Canyon. DH and I hiked to the Indian Gardens and back up in a day. It took about 8 hours. I was sore for a week after! Las Vegas was fun. We lost $25 in about 3 minutes, then spent the day hopping on/off the bus to check out the strip. We spent some time at Red Rock Canyon, which was spectacular.globalhiker wrote: »Tomorrow is a new day and I re-focus on my own continuous self-improvement and commitment to out-smart myself4 -
@RockinRobyn672 thanks and congrats on accomplishing your 3 AF in a row! Have fun on date night!
@MissMay enjoy your vacation time in Las Vegas! I used to travel there for work several years ago and had the good fortune to stay in top hotels. Yes, this thread has helped me immensely with LA and better habits.
Funny story: The MGM has huge pools on sight and once I stayed there for work (took my husband ) and it happened to be SPRING break in Vegas. You know where this is going…..Every pool was packed full of guys and girls maybe 20-30 something and dance music was blasting, drinks were happening, and a DJ was setting up on a deck for a party. We found a spot in the pool because it was so hot but found ourselves laughing our heads off because we could have been the age of parents or grandparents of the other pool goers, lol. Of course we left before the actual ‘party’ started.
Let’s join Rockinrobyn672 and refuse to give
up on ourselves!
Make it a great day!6 -
@Michieb125 Inspirational birthday reflection. Hope it's your best year yet!
What a fun week, but I've been all over the place with diet, haven't logged anything while travelling (restaurant meals are just hard to guess), and had drinks every day. I didn't have to, but I did. Now I'm back home, playing catch up and need to find those good habits I used to have.
Have a great weekend, everybody!6 -

Honestly, I had a bit of a struggle sticking to my AF days this week.
However, last night I followed through and chose no wine. We had the grandkids spend the night and have plans to go to a pumpkin patch this weekend!

That sounds like fun. I'm setting up a vinyl and 78rpm listening room. I just inherited a huge trove of 78s from my mother! Most are in very good condition because they're opera (not my favorite and apparently, not anyone else's since they are in such good condition!) I also have a bunch of other records and, now that my family knows I'm interested in them, more are pouring in. I'll soon have way too many!
As for the Guinness: I love beer, but my minimum seems to be two. If I could keep to one, I'd be fine with it.
I'm trying to find ways to relax with other beverages. For some reason, I've settled on Nuun, which is a sports drink. Maybe because I often exercise right after work. I've also been experimenting with "8/16 IF," which us oldies call "skipping breakfast, no snacks after dinner."
I've managed to keep October sober. Next Saturday night is my wife's birthday party, and I plan to celebrate with 1-2 drinks of some sort.

DH and I decided to cook in last night since we have a big trip coming up later in the month and will dine out daily. However, the filets and scallops were delicious. My DD also dropped off gifts and a small apple cobbler for dessert (my fav). Opened a nice bottle of white wine from Sonoma.
Thanks for the birthday wishes, another year around the sun is officially in the books!
Today is back on track with ALL the things. AF until Thursday or Friday.

Checking in from SIN CITY( such a silly term)
Been here 5 five days now.
3 days had minimal alcohol.
TWO days -> NO ALCOHOL!!!
Having a blast, so far took in the grand canyon west rim tour, a concert, AGT show, Vegas Golden Knights hockey game, and today we do a pro football game Raiders vs Patriots ( look for me in the stands section 325)
Unfortunately I caught a darn cold on day 4. Ugh!
Thinking of all my LESS ALCOHOL FAMILY. As I navigate a city based on drinking.
