Sounds like everyone has some great goals. It is a very busy time for me with work which normally would mean a couple cocktails. Went for a hike and took a bath before dinner. Now playing Scrabble with the hubby and drinking my Cranberry Diet 5 and Pellegrino. Another AF day. 1/1 2 drinks 1/2 AF 1/3 AF 1/4 AF Running total…

So blessed my husband doesn't drink. It is a lot easier for me to abstain when no one else is drinking. 1/1 2 drinks 1/2 AF 1/3 AF Running total since starting on 12/25/20: Dec 6 of 7 days AF Jan 2 of 3 days AF

@lmlmrn Please join us in the Less Alcohol thread in the motivation and support section of the forums. There are a lot of people looking to cut back on alcohol. Everyone is very supportive! https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10819232/less-alcohol-january-2021-one-day-at-a-time#latest

Sipping my cranberry diet 5 and Pellegrino again. Jan 1 2 drinks Jan 2 AF Running total since starting on 12/25/20: Dec 6 of 7 days AF Jan 1 of 2 days AF

Started off the year with drinks. Met a couple on the golf course and stayed for the 19th hole. Drinks weren't planned but are in line with my desire not to drink alone. Plan to go the next 5 or 6 days AF. 1/1 2 drinks

@Lilylady3k Thank you! I look forward to being able to figure out my identity outside of being CFO, spending my time giving back to others and loving on my grandbabies (Mikey 3, Aubrey 1, Annie 3 months). I am blessed to be able to step back from the daily grind at my age.

@RubyRed427 What IF schedule are you doing? I did it for about a month last March, but then Covid. I really would like to start up again because I enjoy cooking and would like to have a nice guilt free evening meal with my husband. Do you follow Gin Stephens and the Delay, Don't Deny group? I am going to see if I can get…

@JenT304 I am not sure if this is an option where you live, but our garbage collector will drop off a bin for documents to be shredded. We call when it is ready and they send the shred truck out. We don't pay for the bin. They just charge by the weight of the documents shredded. They give you a certified document…

I had a good week. Started out tracking and ended just being mindful. I only had alcohol (2 drinks) one night (as opposed to daily). Starting weight 12/26/20 138.2 Goal weight March 2021 127 (maintenance range below 130) 12/26/20 138.3 01/01/21 135.6 (saw 135.0 twice this week) Happy New Year...let's keep on keeping on!

Got in a good day's work, went and got a facial, went for a desert hike, made a fabulous steak dinner, sipping my 3rd Cranberry Diet 5 and San Pellegrino. Another AF day. Looking forward to 2021 - I'm in the process of hiring my replacement at our company so I can retire! 12/25 AF 12/26 AF 12/27 AF 12/28 2 airplane bottles…

Made it to AZ at 2 in the morning. Had 2 airplane size bottles of Titos. Planning to wrack up some more AF days in a row now. 2 drinks in 5 days is much better than 10 drinks in 5 days! Thanks for supporting me! 12/25 AF 12/26 AF 12/27 AF 12/28 2 airplane bottles of Titos 12/29 AF

I am in for January! Thanks for helping hold me accountable!

Flight to Arizona is delayed 2 hours. We won't be leaving SD until 11:00 pm tonight and getting to AZ at 1:20 am (2:20 am SD time). Fortunately we fly into the Mesa airport and are generally in our house within 30 minutes of stepping off the plane. I will have been up for about 22 hours by the time I get to bed. Pretty…

Feeling a bit under the weather today. The South Dakota grayness isn't helping. Leaving for Arizona for the rest of the winter tomorrow. I can't wait to get back to the sunshine (been back in SD for 3 gray weeks!) 12/25 AF 12/26 AF 12/27 AF Thanks for giving me a space to hold myself accountable.

Went out to dinner and drank lots of water. 12/25 AF 12/26 AF

Hi! I am going to join in again. I have had an 8 lb weight creep since the pandemic started. By eliminating my 1-2 vodka/soda each day I can eliminate about a pound per month. I don't know that I plan to completely abstain, but would like drinking to become the exception rather than norm. 12/25 AF 12/26 going out for…

@RubyRed427 Thank you for starting this challenge. Although I don't have 30 pounds to lose I would like to join in and lose 10 lbs to get back to my happy weight. I have gained 7.8 lbs since the pandemic started in March. I also have been dealing with frozen shoulder so I went from Pilates Reformer classes 5 days a week to…

After a completely Sober October I started to slip back into the daily 1 to 2 drink habit most days starting November 10th. I am disappointed in myself. I will be starting back with less alcohol again and tracking my consumption here. Thank you for creating this ongoing challenge.
