Morning :hello:

A Saturday AFD for me too. Everyone around me was drinking last night but I also couldn't face the calories so I resisted but I did eat 4 chololates :eek:which was probably just as bad!

Thank you so much for organising the weekly challenge marru.

Woul you put me down for 3 this week, please. I'm out on Tuesday (Toby Carvery again Miss P:eek:) so am planning a single glass with my meal then back on the wagon.

:T to everyone who's managed any AF days over the weekend and (for once) this includes me:D.

Morning all, and happy Valentines day everyone

A very tired, bleary eyed Miss P here. Piglet has come down with a cold and cough and was up all night coughing. Think we had about an hours sleep . Am praying my Mum can have him today so I can go to work - they're short-staffed this week and if I don't go in my name will be mud. I really hate being a working mum.:(

Maman - am very jealous of the Toby carvery. Think a roast is up there as one of my favourite meals

Stressedoutsue - hope you are feeling a bit better and less guilty today. :grouphug:

Well, off to drag my weary body into the shower.:rotfl:

Morning all!

Hope you're all ok and have had a lovely weekend! Well, no AF days this weekend but I'm sooo proud of myself! I had half a lager on Friday when DH surprised me with a meal at a beautiful restaurant - such a lucky girl!!! We had friends round on Saturday night and I had half a bottle of wine then I had a sneaky beer last night! I'd normally be cringing at the sound of the crashing empties hitting the bottle bin today but there was no sign of that this morning! I don't usually know when to stop!

Thinking of buying a special bottle of wine to share with DH tonight (valentine) so not committing right now....but,I'd usually drink a bottle all to myself pre-cutting back forum so really not worrying about it. I do need to make sure it's not the start of "celebrate the opening of an envelope" excuse to drink tho! I'm the queen of excuses.

Have a good day all,

Lala xxxx

Well done everybody on your AF and cutting down achievements over the weekend and Happy Valentines day ! Hubby surprised me with a card this morning, I must say after 20 years married he`s finally getting the hang of this romance thing.
13 AF DAYS THANKS SHAGGY.

10 please, Shaggy, thanks.

Babysat for some friends last night and didn't drink the wine that they'd left me. Not sure that has ever happened before.

Thanks, Miss P, feeling great again today. :j

Why On Earth do I do it??? Every single Sunday I feel ***p because every single Saturday night I 'treat' myself with 1.33 bottles of wine ie nearly all my weekly allowed units in one night - pathetic. :mad: It doesn't bother me being AF every other day - I've SO got to get out of this habit, but after many, many years, I'm entrenched in it. :eek:

So I'm going to try next Saturday - we'll just have arrived on holiday, late evening, so won't have any wine with me anyway, and doubt if we'll go out on that first night! :cool:

:rotfl: We've all been there! I always try to plan my target with leeway for just such events. You never know when an envelope will drop on the mat;)

I'm exactly the same SOS. You could probably do it next weekend if you tell yourself not to waste an AF day/units by starting late in the day.

I had the 1.33 on Friday evening (cross with myself because it was 0.66 last weekend). I made myself have an AF day on Saturday to average it out. Then yesterday we had people round (unexpectedly) and back to square one!!:o Strangely it's the extra calories that make me more cross than anything. I'm away for a few days next week, too, and am really hoping to be moderate.
