Well *kitten*! I haven't had a drink in 47 days, and my annual bloodwork came back off. Potassium, calcium and two liver enzymes were up. I dropped 15 lbs in a year (on purpose) exercising 5 days a week, measuring food and WTF!!!! The upshot was an A1c was 5.2, 209 cholesterol (which is down from 215. Lord, working this…

After I posted the question about drinking on super bowl I realized I didn't clarify the question. I know lot's of people host parties or attend parties and that I guess was the real question. To drink or not during the festivities. Truly, all I care about are the commercials. HA! But for those of you who do like football…

MONTH DIDN'T DID JAN 31 0 FEB 2 0 So glad to hear everyone is doing well. Last night I went to one of my favorite restaurants and had oysters on the half shell. Really good. The best part of the evening was the bartender poured my NA beers in a frosted glass. As I sat amongst the martinis around me (my drink of choice) I…

Everyone seems to be hanging tough. Had to NA beers today at lunch. It really does seem to satisfy when alcohol is out of the picture. @TobinRoss, you are doing great. Between working out and not drinking I do indeed feel better, and I am grateful Hope everyone had a great day. AF 29 A 0

I have surprised myself and held tight everyday this month. However, to ease the weirdness of feeling deprived, I have had several different kinds of non-alcoholic beer. My two top favorites are the Heineken 00, 79 calories per bottle and Athletic Haze IPA, it was 45 calories and really pretty good. I have my annual…

One of things that has helped me on MFP is under the notes section I type in all CAPS, NO ALCOHOL and hit save. So all day everyday that I track my note is there reminding me of what is possible. Not to say that any of our food/drink struggles are easier or harder than others; however, it does reel me back in. Just keep me…

Update, had great company, a wonderful meal and two martini's. No impact to speak of; however, I am back in the proverbial saddle. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

I cannot completely relate, but I truly understand the position people are in. I have always been a casual drinker, but when my mom died in 2018 it nearly killed me and boy the drinking amped up. I was in so much pain I thought I would die or die trying outrun the pain. Then the pandemic hit and being self employed…

Just curious, how old are you? Great job. I'm 64, low thyroid (since I was 28). Work out 5 days a week and for the first time EVER yesterday I walked 5.2 miles NONSTOP. It felt great, but soon enough it will be way too hot and humid to do it on a consistent basis. Can you say heat stroke? Yep Houston in summer will kill…

I am trying to get back in the saddle again. One of my main goals (there are many) is to cut way back on alcohol. Thanksgiving, my birthday, then Christmas, then New Years. I know all I have done is eat and drink. Grateful for all I have, but overindulgence is not good for anyone. So, with that said I would love to be a…

Best of luck. Your are off to a great start.

You should be so proud. Hell, after reading your story....now I have NO EXCUSE. I will say Covid nearly killed me. Not in the literal sense. However, I was so depressed I would start drinking vodka at 930 in the morning and eating everything in sight. My business (professional pet sitter for 20 years) tanked. I had 22…

I get it. I have gained and have been mostly out of work. However, I am Covid negative (tested before hand surgery) but feeling more and more like a caged animal. I am eating low carb and have not had any alcohol since Monday. That is saying alot considering it has been a long time since March. I too am from the south so I…

I have just started back on keto. I did well a couple of years ago, but since Covid and no work...I find myself eating and drinking more for lack of nothing to do. Exercise can only go so far. Looking for any hope and encouragment.

I think we all make a fine group. I just don't want to be one of those souls listed as having comorbidity during this awful time. I am overweight for sure, but healthy overall and mostly grateful for I have been given in this life. I just would like to healthier and lighter.
