LESS Alcohol ~ OCTOBER 2023 ~ One Day at A Time

Hi, LA friends. Love the Grand Canyon pic. Looks like you guys are having so much fun! Funny pink bubbles story, too. I usually avoid tonic because of sugar, but you all have convinced me to give it a try.

What happened to October? Went by too fast. Not great on the alcohol habits front. At the very least I'm usually pretty disciplined about the M-Th AF, but looking back I see one week where I had drinks every. single. day. (Travel, lots of socializing with people I hadn't seen in a spell, didn't have to drink but did.) And my weekends were over goal for the most part, too. There were only 5 days all month when I stopped at 1 or 2. 14AF days, which is fewer than my norm. Maintaining goal weight but totally slacked on strength training. So much room for improvement.

October accountability: 12 days AF
Alcohol: 19 days ( 47+ drinks)
Days over 2 glasses: 10
Goal: Limit 2 glasses per day; 12-16 AF days this month.
