  • Well, the stress of yesterday got to me and I broke down and had wine. It's amazing how much worse I slept and how much more tired I am today because of it. Although I did have a slip, I think reminding myself of how exhausted I was today and how much worse I felt than my new normal will help me stay strong for the rest of…

  • Hey all! Hope day 3 is treating you well! It's a frustrating Wednesday at work so to motivate myself to stay on task, I did a bit of finance calculation at lunch. I'm terrible at math, so bear with me. Usually, a bottle of wine costs about 10-12 dollars. I buy one about twice a week. Every once in a while, I'll bring a…

  • @ejcanavan feel free to join even if you do slip up! It'll be challenging but I told myself I'm allowed to have a lapse or two as long as I make sure to post about it here (so one slip up doesn't lead to just giving up the whole month.)

  • As a super commitment-phobe, I love this one day goal approach! Today I will: - Eat what I brought for lunch and not go out - Only have one after dinner snack - Not have my typical Friday night drinks

  • Hey all! What a great idea! Any plans to start one for November? I'd love to have some accountability in my efforts to stay away from drinking. I do it pretty often, it's become a regular stress reliever for me. I want to step back from it to help with my weight loss efforts. I know I'm taking in SO many extra calories by…

  • Replying to say that I LOVE this thread and just met with a trainer yesterday to learn proper form while lifting. Having progress pictures of my own to add to this thread will keep me motivated :) Thanks for the inspiration!

  • Thanks, all! I did go back and did walking on an incline with arms strength, and almost immediately felt a lot better!

  • Thanks for the advice! I'll most likely do power walking for a bit and then focus on my arms and core for strength. Much appreciated!
