AF - 19 A - 10 Per the Latin Rite of the Catholic Church, DH and I are attempting the Paschal Fast, fasting all of Good Friday through the Saturday Easter Vigil which will end about 11:00pm Saturday. So, if there is no food, there is definitely no alcohol. @MissMay thank you for starting the April post. I will be back! 🙂…

AF - 18 A - 10 Went for Mexican last night with hubby and his friend. Kept wanting to order a drink, but didn’t because nobody else did. Probably not the best decision-making style as it’s basically “following the herd”, but it worked last night in my favor. So, I’ll score it a win for the book! 🙂 @ericanahnahnah I used to…

March Start Weight: 200.6 lbs March Goal Weight: 192.6 lbs Ultimate Goal Weight: 155 lbs March 1: 200.6 lbs March 8: 198.8 lbs March 15: 196.6 lbs March 22: 194.8 lbs March 29: 193.6 lbs March 31: Down 7 lbs, YAY! Not sure I’ll lose that last pound before Sunday, but we’ll see. I’m just super excited I’ve lost 7 lbs first…

Yes, I always start/restart on Mondays/1st of the month. For instance when I got back to taking care of me, I planned to only walk during March. Then, I planned to add weight training in April which was exciting to me that the first day of April was a Monday. It just felt like a sign from God I was on the right track!…

AF - 17 A - 10 Yesterday was a rainy day, and I would have had some wine typically. But, 1) I joined that little challenge to not drink the last 5 days of March and 2) I scrapbooked all day again. Today is grocery shopping, go for my walk, start cleaning/prepping for Sunday, and go to Mass tonight for Maundy Thursday.…

@SparkSpringtime69 count me in!

In my best Willy Wonka impression, “stop… don’t.” 😉

AF - 16 A - 10 I know the night isn’t over, but I’m calling it. Picking up my daughter from a youth group function that just ended at 8:50pm. Will take a half an hour to get home. Then, I’m going to bed. I’m exhausted.

AF - 15 A - 10 2 glasses of wine last night. Probably should’ve stuck with one, but it wasn’t awful.

AF - 15 A - 9 I kind of struggled last night with my plan not to drink. It’s like I made the plan not to do it, but it kept coming back into my head to do it. But, I didn’t. Hubby and I have been binge watching “The Blacklist”, so we watched 3 episodes last night while I drank drank about 44 oz of water. Then, we went to…

AF - 14 A - 9 Plan to stay away from wine tonight as well. I’m exhausted between the alcohol induced crappy sleep I got on Friday night, cooking for the 50ish youth group kids all day Saturday, and waking up early to finish cooking and deliver the lunch. I just need sleep. @MissMay I agree with you about the kids at the…

AF - 14 A - 8 Drank a whole bottle of wine last night. My best friend and her husband came to town, and we imbibed. Unfortunately, I just didn’t stop myself, and I paid for it this morning.

I would do the same! Enjoy the weekend.

AF - 14 A - 7 AND… I’m down 1.8 lbs for the week for a total of 5.8 since restarting my journey. I’m so excited! 😁😁😁😁😁😁

AF - 13 A - 7

AF - 12 A - 8 Had that last glass of wine. Hubby was SUUUUUPER FREAKING ANNOYING yesterday. Talked to him this morning, and he apologized because he doesn’t even know he’s doing it. But, I’m still irritated by him especially after he woke me up this morning by turning on a light in the bedroom. I was sleeping so good too. 🙁

Great job, @xbowhunter! Keep it up!

AF - 12 A - 7 I’m feeling pretty good, but I think my patience is wearing thin. My husband’s ADHD was off the charts yesterday (very high 🐿️ count), and I was completely irritated with him. For a little context, my husband and daughter both have extreme cases of ADHD and son has Autism. My MIL lives with us, has Type 2…

AF - 11 A - 7 @itladyee i had to scroll back through the posts to see who said it, and I found it! You mentioned your “sweet tooth awakening” when you resist drinking. OMG… you were soooooo right! Yesterday, I had a donut after church which I’ve been easily able to resist in the past. Then, my husband asked me to make…

AF - 10 A - 7 Took my teens out for gyros last night for dinner. Though I opted for chicken souvlaki and Greek salad, I also opted not to drink that last glass of wine in the bottle. The current open bottle on my counter has lasted a week. Probably the longest an open bottle has lasted on my counter in a long time. I…

AF - 9 A - 7 Last night I decided after spending a solid 8 hours cleaning my house (did some thorough cleaning that hadn’t been done in awhile due to working), I would partake. I drank 2 glasses of red wine. I drank them slowly while I watched my guilty-pleasure Lifetime movies. I didn’t snack while I was drinking which is…

@Womona, I so agree with @xbowhunter. Acknowledge the slip and get back up! I’ve watched my daughter-in-law go sober for over a year now, and I find inspiration in her. But, if she were to tell me tomorrow she had a drink, I would simply give her a hug and encourage her to start again. I would not lose any inspiration in…

AF - 9 A - 6 Last night I was so far under my calorie goal that MFP didn’t like it. My husband is a performance coach with an exercise science degree with an emphasis is physiology, so I’ve been listening to his nutritional advice which is only eat when hungry, eat slowly, and only until you feel full. So, I following that…

I’m super excited to see another good loss this week. I’m on the right path… I knew quitting my job…

@xbowhunter You are so right. A legal evil doesn’t make it ok. I’m happy to report no arguments this week. 🙂 @SparkSpringtime69 Oh, I knock out real hard after a bottle of wine, but then I wake up in a hot flash around 2am. The next morning, I’m cranking and my head hurts. That’s even if I’ve alternated water between…

AF - 8 A - 6 I was so busy scrapbooking yesterday I didn’t even know what time it was until my husband came home at almost 9:00. I usually start wanting a glass of wine around 7:30-8:00. We usually go to bed around 9:00-9:30, so it was too late for a drink by that point. Plus, I really didn’t want it anyway. And, I slept…

Hello everyone, I’ve sort of been stalking this discussion for a few days. But, I think I’m ready to be accountable. I am 49 years old and just recent resigned from work to stay home full time, not a true retirement but that’s what my husband calls it. I did it to focus on self care and the care of my family… and get away…

First week of the rest of my life has been going well. I’ve been taking everything as it comes and making better choices now that I have time to do…

I’m back. I recently quit my job to focus on self and family care. I have so many plans for this new chapter of my life. With my relationship with God being the primary goal, my secondary is to get healthy. I have a physical on May 14, and I want to lose 20lbs before the physical. March 1 was the first day of this new…
