Today, while resting between sets, I looked in mirror and saw a change. My lower legs have been retaining water for a long time. I sleep with them elevated, watch sodium intake, etc. Today, no pudgy water calves! I believe it's because I'm not drinking wine every night. Yah! My liver and legs love this. No drinks so far…

My limit was to be 3 drinks a week. Got frustrated with family - Ram Das says 'If you think you're enlightened, go spend a week with your family". Mine lives with me. Anyway, ended up with 4.5 glasses. 3 of them in one evening. Gack. New week, new goals. Thanks for being here.

Well done! In WW they'd say if you can just put off eating whatever junk it is you want for 10 or 15 min the craving will pass. Perhaps it's the same with alcohol. The title for your book, "Driving yourself sober".

My son treated me to dinner out last night and I had one glass of wine. Sipped and enjoyed slowly. In the past it would have been 2 easy. So patting myself on the back. I enjoyed that 1 more than I would have the 2. And, I stuck with the low cal salmon and broccoli which I count as a victory with all the ravioli, etc,…

Never give up. It's always a challenge to get back into the gym after a break. just thinking about it makes me tired! LOL But soon I'm like Pavlov's dog feeling something's wrong if I don't get there. Take it easy going back. Be gentle with yourself.

How exciting to be heading to Tuscany. Enjoy the golden sunshine.

Started last round at 144 and ended on 2/26 at 143. My goal for this round is to lose another pound. Creeping slowly toward goal. Day/Weight/Comment 2/27.. 142.4 Not sure about this drop. 45 min on ellip yesterday. Hopefully gym today. Got my car back! 2/28... 142.6 Got to gym yesterday. This slight gain might be water in…

Never had Polar seltzer until someone posted about it. Whoever that was thank you! It's a great 'fixing dinner' beverage to replace the glass of wine. The lime is refreshing.

My goal is more af days (& nights). I've realized that I if I want some wine then I need to have a goal as in a limit-no a prescription. I poured 2 glasses with dinner last night and didn't finish the second. Didn't want it. So, I think 3 glasses of wine max a week should do me just fine. I've had 3 in the last 3 weeks. I…

I don't get the joke. Most of us have been there at one time or another and it wasn't fun or funny.

A big drop like this called a 'whoosh'. Congratus.

Love this thread and the insight shared by all. It has helped me moderate my drinking and given me a new way to look at it. Instead of thinking "it's been 3 days since I had a drink" I'm focused on the opposite end of the stick, as Abraham would say and think "I'm 3 days af." It feels more like gaining something as opposed…

Here's to a new month. Drank last night. Felt sorry for myself over a family situation and had a couple glasses of wine by myself. Not funny how your brain tells you, you tell yourself, you'll feel better for it. Ah well. On the positive side, I've had 1 glass of wine since joining mid-Feb and that was with a friend and…

@kittybenn Sometimes people just need permission to not do something.

I am in the same situation of going back and forth, etc. but I find my clothes fit differently. Go figure. How about you?

Half the usual sounds like a win to me.

When it's so many drinking refraining is true grit.
