AF tonight! Fever tree sparkling pink grapefruit in my Waterford stemware for the win!
As for sugar, I did OK… but adding leftover baked beans was a necessity because my leftover meat is a little dry. Oh well, at least I didn’t have to cook!
I’m so excited by everyone’s energy here today!4 -
Blew it already! lol Had a good friend over I haven't seen in a while, and we sipped a small shot of tequila.
Wont dwell on it none today thanks!

Spent ALL DAY cleaning my daughter’s bedroom. 🙁 We took out 6 bags of trash, 3 bags of donations, did 3 furniture repairs, and still have to shampoo the carpet. It was disgusting. My daughter’s ADHD and my OCD just do not get along.
BUT, typically, I would have downed a bottle of wine after all that. I didn’t drink last night. 😁12 -
@Womona Ditto, feels like the energy here is contagious!
Like others, I will also work on staying within my calories/macros…..Although I’m not giving up wine 💯 percent, I am very ready to cut back during the week again! AF last night and slept much better. I do love waking up to my tomorrow self
Taking the little grandkids to a wildlife museum today. And it’s going to be 73 degrees this afternoon - a bonus!

AF days - 18-20

Successful night yesterday. I stayed busy getting dinner around after work then took a walk on the treadmill while I watched an episode of Orphan Black. I took a shower and only had time for one glass of grapefruit La Croix in my wine glass before I got sleepy and got the best sleep!
One of the most exciting things that happens when I quit drinking is watching my resting heart rate go down (I'm easy...lol). In 1 week of (mostly) not drinking my resting heart rate has gone from mid 70's to low 60's.

It has taken me a while to catch up with everyone's posts. I can relate to so many of these comments! @NonnieDoiron I can totally relate about cleaning your daughther's room! My son is ADHD and I can never get him to clean his room to my standard! I am not OCD but I like things to be clean and more or less in order. He doesn't seem to notice mess and dirt and dust.
I reconnected with my semi-estranged sister over the weekend and remembered why were were semi-estranged, lol! She is going through a divorce from an emotionally abusive husband so I am glad I was there for her but I am not used to so much drama so it felt like a lot.
I did have a few beers after she left on Sunday but AF last night and tonight.

@zensome why does ADHD do that to our kids? It’s so frustrating.
BTW, I have never been diagnosed OCD, but I do have a very strict way things have to be done including my cleaning routine. My whole family jokes I am OCD. I’m sure I’m not just because I know there is more to it, but I lean into the joke because I don’t see what’s wrong with a clean and organized home. If they want to blame it a psychological condition, fine! But, I’m still going to insist my home be clean and organized! 😉4 -

@zensome @NonnieDoiron
I'm a big fan of this lady.....Cass from Clutterbug. She has some videos on cleaning and adhd. She also helps determine which bug you are. LOL. It might help people understand why you clean/organize the way you do. Here's a link....https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=clutterbug+adhd about adhd
and below is another link for determining which bug you are....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYtiQhCJ5743 -

Interesting… I took her quiz, and I’m a cricket. I guess I should let my daughter take her quiz too. I have a feeling she’s a butterfly though. I like some of her ideas for organizing, and we did implement some of the ideas already. I can make a few adjustments though that will work better for her based on some of the videos! Thanks for the share!3 -

I think it will. My MIL lives with us and helps me a lot with my daughter. I explained some of the ideas to her, and she liked it a lot. So, we might be onto something. Feeling good about this! 🙂4 -
