@MissMay ....I have an indoor rower...started watching podcasts to help time pass as I row so that helps....

Apologize in advance for the lengthy post... Thanks @Womona ...I have had some time as of late to seriously review my overall alcohol consumption in my life and have watched several interesting interviews and podcasts (Dr. Huberman and Jordan Peterson come to mind) about the effects of alcohol on the body and brain as well…

Mini-vacay in Naples, FL was delightful! Now back to it!! February AF - 6 A - 3 Exercise: Classes - 3 of 16 Meters rowed - 26,615 of 100,000

Totally agree with the crabby 60s comment...also add any remakes of classic rock songs to be more hip-hop!

My AF streak ended today....hard to not have a beer when sitting on a beach in Naples, FL.....80ish degrees, perfect weather, slight breeze....just have to start over after i get back to Texas....😀 Feb... AF - 6 A - 1 AF streak - 37....

Will do what I can just to keep moving but it is a mini-vacation so probably need the downtime…

Here's hoping for vision improvement and getting back to normal @SurferGirl1982 !

Sounds like a pretty solid plan @Michieb125 ! As I have shared with my friends and acquaintances about completing a dry January, I was a little surprised how many of them thought I would celebrate by drinking when I completed the month. I just thought that was a little unusual...to my way of thinking, I figured I had a…

@chicbuc - sorry to hear about the heartburn... @SurferGirl1982 - holding on to that '0' I see - way to go!!

@Born2Run1958 - yummm oysters! And yes - 3NA beers wins out over 3 martinis - awesome!

@jusa1011 - MFP has been an excellent tracker for me but then I have not tried others. I have the app on my phone (Pixel 8 - Android) and it is handy to be able to log foods immediately. I have also tied in a Fitbit Charge 6 to monitor calories expended in exercise and through the day. My scale is also tied in so there is…

@globalhiker - I am absolutely certain I have never had mushrooms (onions and peppers absolutely!) with my fajitas - had to read that a couple of times because it just didn't compute... :)

Reported Benefits of Less or No Drinking: (Results may be incremental, and/or they may vary) ▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪ •Improved sleep after 2,4,7,10,& 60 days •Improved skin/complexion after 10 days •Improved ease in weight loss. Not only from the savings of alcohol calories but some report making poor food choices after…

And so begins February @SurferGirl1982 - let's go!! Minor success story - Neighbor down the street invited me over for a cigar and conversation last night which would also normally involve sipping whiskey or bourbon until a bottle is empty...I showed up last night with 2 NA beers. He had already prepared a glass of ice and…

Bet your tabby was just purring away....

Since we are putting a wrap on Jan 2025...and I will be AF today. AF - 31 A - 0 CrossFit classes - 17 (16 goal) Meters rowed - 100,298 (100,000 goal) Weight loss - right at 8lbs this morning for January. Probably a little water weight fluctuation but I will take the win! Thanks @Michieb125 and @MissMay for the…

@globalhiker - congratulations early on 5 months AF!!

I agree with @AnnPT77 ...I like to eat! And I want it to be balanced. My overall goal has been to run about a 500 calorie deficit (and I include calories burned from working out) and save some calories for 'cheat' day of Mexican food or going out to dinner. Sometimes a little over or just breakeven but it is what is…

Thanks @womona for the kind words...I have been attending CrossFit for over 2 years now. Found a good gym with great coaches and an emphasis on functional fitness. I am one of the more 'senior' members at 60 :D so I am very careful about form, weight and taking a rest day as needed. I am very excited to be meeting goals…

That is very cool to see in the pictures! In person, I am sure it was phenomenal!

@globalhiker - congrats on closing in on 5 months AF - that is outstanding!

@chicbuc - great testimony! @Born2Run1958 - great job! And those NA beers have helped me thru January as well... @SurferGirl1982 - sounds like a plan...make it an even 30 days AF...

@surfergirl1982 - still have a few days left in January...start a streak today! What has been your longest streak so far? I am a huge believer in breaking larger goals into smaller steps to get there...at one time, I would train to run a marathon once a year. Which means numerous weeks of smaller runs gradually building to…

AF - 29 A - 0 Exercise: CrossFit classes attended - 15 of 16 goal Meters rowed - 93,787 of 100,000 Taking a rest day today so have to trim back on snacks and such to stay within daily calorie budget. Tomorrow I will achieve both exercise goals. Couple of more days to meet January goal of AF for the entire month...that…
