Today marks day 100 AF if I can hold out! Some friends are on the way over and bringing the booze. We’ll see if I can resist the urge to join in because I’m home and not going anywhere. I don’t have any wine, not even that little box of Pinot noir. I used the last of it in the gravy last night. If I do drink, it’ll be…

Sorry to have brought up the tootsie pops, @WestCoastGirl_1. Lol, I was eating the minis, but apparently the husband has thrown them all away. He has a thing about the dyes in food now… it’s all poison!🙄 @itladyee I agree with @Michieb125, definitely sleep on it. Then, I think I would actually discuss with your son and…

A-0 AF-8 As a few have mentioned it gets easier and easier with time, to avoid alcohol. I didn’t throw out the rest of the wine I cooked with the other night, and it’s still sitting there untouched. For me, it’s easier to give up the wine than to stop overeating. The struggle is real. I ate all my calories today and was…

@WestCoastGirl_1 and @globalhiker because the husband is… well… let’s just say “special”… I don’t think he asked to be put on a cancellation call list. He avoided talking to me yesterday and is at a competition today. (Side note: The boy child won best lifter!) I haven’t had a chance to ask yet if he did or if they…

Made the pot roast. Didn’t use the full “little box” of wine. But, I’m not going to drink it either. I put it in the fridge, but I’ll probably just go dump it later tonight. They schedule the husband’s biopsy, but they scheduled it for Christmas Eve!! Not only is that a horrible day, but it’s 6 weeks away! I don’t think…

Good news all around tonight, friends! I see a lot of goals being met and a lot of good streaks going on! Great work! Happy birthday, @itladyee! I hope it’s wonderful! The doctor is referring the husband for a biopsy which apparently is protocol before he gives a recommendation of treatment. So, we’re waiting on that. My…

A-0 AF-5 (95) Boy, if there was ever a time I wanted to drink…

Started the backstitching on the cross stitch I’m working on. The husband had a PET scan yesterday. The cancer is back. Pray for us, him especially… just pray… And for the love of all that is holy, can someone please put a cork in the MIL’s butt!? She constantly sounds like she is crapping her pants whenever she moves!…

Welcome back @chicbuc! Costume is really ingenious. @WestCoastGirl_1 I’m so happy to see your streak! You’re doing awesome. Keep it up! @BurnMode05 weekly goals seem more attainable. Maybe that’s why AA does one day at a time. Getting through 1 day can seem less daunting than 7 or 30 days. Work is slow but not. Hard to…

Welcome @GGinCA and @eddiesmith1! Quiet day. Church, cooking, and just cross stitching now waiting for bedtime. A-0 AF-2

You are doing sooooo great, @WestCoastGirl_1 ! 4 days! WOO HOO! It makes me smile from ear to ear that you are accomplishing it day by day. I’m so happy for you. And, you’re right about using the wine for cooking only. I put the pot roast back on the menu for Thursday, beef overload this week! 😉 @globalhiker and…

Ok, November… here we go. Yesterday marked 90 days AF. The husband insists we plan a dinner menu every week, so he can grocery shop on Friday and get what we need for the next week. When we made the menu, we put on my pot roast which calls for a cup of wine but then we took it off deciding on something else (not because of…

Thanks, @deepwoodslady.

@globalhiker thank you again for your input. I didn’t do any exercise this week 1) it was rainy and cold, 2) my “knee pit” still feels like a ping pong ball is stuck in it, 3) just didn’t feel like it (depression, maybe?). I also didn’t stay below 1200 calories all week. I think I stayed around 1500/day which isn’t…

@itladyee definitely do what you want to do for your 65th no matter what it is! Dinner with the girls, a road trip somewhere fun, anything. A-0 AF-30

YAY!!! 🎉🎉🎉 Great job! I’m so happy for you, @WestCoastGirl_1 ! Let’s keep it going, I know you can do it! @Jthanmyfitnesspal congrats on the sober October! Are you wanting to quit or just drink less often? Maybe hold out until Thanksgiving and enjoy a beverage on Turkey Day? A-0 AF-30

Pretty good looking numbers @xbowhunter! @globalhiker I think you were onto something! I weighed this morning after 3 days of sitting on my *kitten* and still wearing my pjs, and I was below my weight from 2 weigh-ins ago. I think you were absolutely right about my body’s inflammation response to the physical exertion on…

There’s always tomorrow. The longer you can hold out each day, the better you’re going to do! Not a good week for me, and I want to have a glass of wine. None in the house, but I don’t feel like going anywhere. A-0 AF-28

You’ve got this! I believe in you!

I sure hope that’s the case @globalhiker! I’m just so upset! Happy birthday, friend! Have a fantastic day! A-0 AF-27

I am soooooo frustrated. My weight went back up by .6 lbs. this week. My calories are good, and I’ve been walking/jogging. Saturday alone I burned almost 3500 calories and had a deficit of over 2000 calories at the end of the day. The back of my left knee (is that your knee pit?) feels like I have a ping pong ball stuck in…

I don’t get it. I am doing…

LOL @SparkSpringtime69! If I stayed sober when the husband went away, I would say the same thing.

@tmbg1, I’m with @mfowler883. Losing my parents is a big fear. I know it will happen, and I know they have already lived a good, long life. When they do pass, I will still be very sad. My condolences to you and your family. I’m sorry you don’t have any friend to talk to about it. Feel free to share your feelings here. I…

@chicbuc, great work on talking down the wine! Funny, are we with the same SO??? Just randomly announcing they’re off doing other things or planning to do stuff without a discussion? I don’t get it, but then again I can honestly be glad I don’t think like him! Took the day off to clean bathrooms and start youth group lunch…

Haven’t walked in 2 days which is not good. I was over calories yesterday. The husband has pissed me off because he keeps scheduling home maintenance during my walking “lunch” time or my meetings, and then he leaves to go do something else. Tuesday he set up HVAC maintenance during my walking time, and went to train his…

@globalhiker I think my sleep has gotten better except when I have to pee at night. A-0 AF-21
