7/3 and 7/4 were not my best days but not my worst either. Got a little lazy and ate more sorta-cheat foods than I prefer... But 7/5 was great for staying under carbs, hitting protein, getting moving, and staying hydrated! Happy Monday, friends :)
-
7/1 - keto was GOOD, exercise was GOOD, water intake definitely improved but could still be better. @Cadori congratulations!!! ya did good <3 @baconslave can you share more about this car adventure? :#

I'm in! As @baconslave suggested, 2020 has been equal parts never-ending catastrophe AND sudden blink "omg wow where has the year gone" for me and I really want to get back on track. July goals: 1. Back to basics with keto. Hit protein goal daily and avoid the temptations of cauliflower pizza crust and low-carb chocolate…

@Camaramandy648 happy birthday! I hope your excellent start to the day continues. Birthdays can be so complicated. I am tired and the weather in OK was bleh this morning but I cannot wait to hit the park this evening and get my slow little run on! Happy Tuesday, run pals :sunglasses:
-
Hello, all! Near-constant lurker, but inconsistent runner - March is the month that changes :) I am going for 20 miles this month (my runs are neither fast nor far but they are quite enjoyable... lol). Happy to be here with you rock stars!
-
Hello, all! It's been a while since I've been on this thread - I'm going for 20 miles this month (and walking on the off days!) as I try to get back in the swing of things :)

@MountainLaurel787 that’s amazing! A hard-won victory right there 🙌🏼☺️ 9 months AF yesterday! This week has been weird and stressful and it was nice to have a shiny moment of clarity regarding how much BETTER life is now 💙
-
@dbhDeb I made the call after I got back from a trip with one of my besties — there hadn’t been any bad experiences on the trip, but there had been a lot of drinking and I’d been experimenting with longer and longer periods of being AF beforehand. I woke up back at home and decided I was just done. I HAD to be. I’d had A…
-
@RubyRed427 inspired by your insight and forward thinking! It sounds like you have a pretty excellent weekend ahead of you - maybe some San Pellegrino to celebrate the new place? ☺️💙
-
@SweatsOnSunday and here I was thinking I was the only one who had to talk myself through flashbacks of stupid, younger me 😅 I am going to try your motto next time!

@NormInv I'm late to join, but I'm in for the challenge! :)

Happy Saturday, friends! I went to see a 90’s cover band last night at a tiny little dive bar with some friends, had a great time and no desire to drink 🙌🏼 I stayed out way later than normal but as a result got to chat on the phone with my husband (he’s deployed and in a different time zone) and finally got to bed around 2…
-
@NormInv maybe your challenge for February is to have this be the first month where one day of drinking doesn’t tarnish the whole month! I can relate to that, I am 100% the same way... give me an inch and I will absolutely be concocting ways to take a (very hungover) mile. Happy Wednesday, my friends! I try not to be one…
-
@RubyRed427 thoughts and love to you... you are strong and important and worth EVERYTHING - sobriety included. We got you ❤️
-
@NormInv I’ll raise a glass (or bowl?) to that!

Happy Saturday night, AF friends! Been quite sick the last few weeks and haven’t checked in properly BUT I did want to belatedly share that Thursday was my 6th month sober-versary ☺️ I am grateful for all of you and how honest and vulnerable and excellent you are. You’re inspiring, day in and day out 💙
-
Hi, all - mostly a lurker (I lurk A LOT, like I am daily reading and “liking” posts) and I wanted to thank you all for your honesty and encouragement. Survived my first sober Bermuda Triangle :) Happy 2019 to all of you beautiful people!
-
@islandbeez dragging here, too! Soooo ready for a long weekend :) MFP has been finicky for me as well, mostly with loading and staying loaded. Last year I got in trouble with my husband because of how much I spent at the liquor store for the Thanksgiving dinner we were hosting... I thought about it today and chuckled.…

Hello, all! I met with a new eye doctor last week and part of the new client paperwork asked how many times a week I smoke or drink. I’ve never smoked, but it sure was nice to check that “never” box next to alcohol 😀 In related news, I had my first drinking-in-a-dream experience that night, haha 🙄 Hope everyone’s Tuesday…

Hi friends! I have been here since the start of this board but I’m usually more of a lurker than a commenter (and I admit it! lol) but today is 90 days and I am so excited about it. Thanks for being around, for being honest, and for being inspiring ☺️
-
@Ke22yB oh my! I hope you are on the mend soon - that sounds awful. Keep us posted!
-
@RubyRed427 I’m so sorry your friend was such a punk. It sounds like she was both jealous AND b*tchy, but you handled it like a champ! Today is day 75 AF. I intend to do this forever, so I know I’ll want to stop counting eventually... but for right now the counting is a source of pride and encouragement so I’m sticking…
-
Thank you, @RubyRed427 - it was a great feeling! Now if only New Laura could tell her in-person friends, not just MFP and the husband! Baby steps and all that, right? :)

Went out to dinner with my husband and some friends over the weekend to celebrate his birthday. I dropped them off at the restaurant, parked down the street, and set off to meet them - when I got to the table, he told me he had ordered me a cocktail. He deploys often and we haven't gone "out" out since I quit drinking in…

Hello! I am in for 25 miles this month :)
-
Just another new-ish person who wanted to say I appreciate all of you and your insights - moderating or abstaining, you’re all great ☺️
