one day at a time. one pound at a time. one foot in front of the other.

Wow! I just went through all these and everyone looks so great and have done an amazing job! So proud of all MFP peeps! :)
-
Too funny! Probably won't take much to get a buzz :)

Unless you are going for all 46 days from Ash Wednesday to Easter!

Ok, just two more days! We've got this! :)

Sounds like a great plan! We are in for the home stretch :)

>high five< on making your goal weight! That is awesome! I lost another 1.5lbs this week, so that is 9lbs. This week should be fairly easy for me as I made it through the weekend. It was a friend's birthday and had dinner at fine establishment that actually gives you free small pours of wine to look over the menu with and…

I am sorry that you are struggling with this. I looked at your profile and your age and unfortunately that is a time period where many are still in party mode and very immature about drinking. I know, as I was quite the partier at that age. However looking back on hindsight, I wish I had been more responsible with my…

Daniel 8-15: "8But Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine, and he asked the chief official for permission not to defile himself this way. 9Now God had caused the official to show favor and compassion to Daniel, 10but the official told Daniel, “I am afraid of my lord the king, who has assigned…

Will be thinking of you. Which of the Fre did you pick up? I like their Chardonnay to go with dinners, which is funny cause I don't like regular chardonnay, rarely drink whites. It's refreshing and crisp. Probably make a good base for a peach sangria. If I go red, usually do the red blend. Not sure about the merlot. Very…

There are plenty of workouts on YouTube and Hulu free if you do a search for exercise-TV that will use alot of your own body weight/plyometrics. If you are looking for short and effective workouts for toning, I have to say the Jillian Michaels 30day shred is a good start. You can pick it up for less than $10 on Amazon. For…

Sounds like a great plan and welcome to the board!

Thanks for getting the 3rd week going! I think that is great that you are being mindful and aware so that you are making plans ahead of time. I plan to go to a girl's afternoon out to one of those painting things, but will be bringing my bottle of Fre and can still enjoy the nibbles and fun like everyone else. I dunno,…

Maryigyny: >high fives< That is awesome :)

45 of Blondie, Tidal Wave. 1st 8 track, Mickey Mouse Disco. :)

Something I learned through the years is that I used to pray for those people who were difficult in my life, for them to be different, or change and etc. However in learning to pray for myself in how to be a better person in dealing with the person has brought me to be more patient, kind and compassionate and let them be…

I think the biggest challenge will be over the holiday weekend, many folks starting to celebrate the Saturday before and straight through Monday around here. I had to think about this cause when I make the family corned beef and cabbage each year, I add Irish Stout to the recipe. I'm going to try something new this year,…

Spiced Apple Brandywine We made a few of these over the winter and they were pretty good for a "night cap". 1 cup spiced apple cider 1/4 no sugar added red grape juice 2 teaspoons aged balsamic vinegar pinch of ground ginger Whisk all the ingredients together. I liked it warm so I made it in a small saucepan, poured into 2…

Looks like it's been awhile since anyone has been on here, but if anyone is currently doing or looking to start Abs, please post! I finished NROLFW on March 1st and I should have the Abs book read by the end of the week. Looking forward to starting a new program next week!

Hi Meg, welcome to the group and thanks for sharing! I will have to check out the Greek vegan site as I've been wanting to cut back on meat as well. Not for Lent, just in general. It's nice to wake up on a Sunday with the mind not foggy and the body energized :)

That's awesome Dbanks! Workout_Junke, Why are you dreading not drinking? The pressure from others? Feel like you can't have fun without it? It's a bit of awkwardness the first time being out in a drinking social, and it made me take a deeper look at myself when I first did one of these non-drinking challenges. After doing…

Are you an emotional drinker? I read this article today about emotional eating, I think alot of the same concepts could be applied to drinking. "Food brings us joy and is part of many celebrations, and it indeed can be a positive part of your day in harder times. But relying on food to fill a void or improve a problem will…

Sounds yum :)

Try O'douls, Amber O'douls or some bars carry Kaliber, put out by Guiness. Most non alcoholic beers run about 55-75 calories per bottle.

Just out of curiosity, how many of you are doing this for religious reasons? for other reasons? Plan to go the whole 46 days? Plan to go for 40 days with one day off for 2 drinks?
-
First weekend coming up! Do you have a strategy if you are going to be out with temptations? Be strong! :)

Found this article today: Wired? Amped up? Stressed out? With the ever increasing popularity of the energy drink movement and our society’s non-stop pace, there eventually had to come a yin to the yang. Previously, the only solution one might have at their disposal to slow down was alcohol, tea, or medication. Introduce…

Again, it's up to you if you want to go the full 46 days of Lent Season from Ash Wednesday-Good Friday. The goal I had in mind to shoot for is 40 days of these 46. Anything above that is bonus :)
