7/9 - 7/12 (slackin!!) protein goal: mostly good! carb limit: lolz what is that? exercise: somewhere in the middle water intake: somewhere in the middle BUT its Monday and a fresh and beautiful week, so I am back on it today :relieved:

7/8 - protein goal was met stayed under carb limit got moving and went for a walk after work! working on being more mindful of water intake today - its hot out there B)

7/7 - met protein goal: yes under carb limit: yes exercise: got back in the gym AND the ankle still feels decent! water: it is hydration station over here :) Happy Wednesday, friends!

7/6 - protein goal: close, but not quite under carb limit: also close, but not quite exercise: got a walk in and not a lot else. I rolled my ankle on Friday and today is the first day the swelling has been manageable, looking forward to the gym this afternoon :D hydrate: I did meet my hydration goals, at least! Have a…

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 ☺️
