    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.

    Morning all, 13 AFD for me please Shaggy. The bells clanged on saturday evening for the first time in a long time. I really wanted a cigarette as well. I think it was because I had a heart to heart with my favourite aunt and she re-assured me that I wasnt imagining my ex's crazy behaviour. I did some breathing exercises and it passed.
    Happy to say my drumming is improving now that I dont turn up for practice with a hangover, really glad to be back in the saddle. Cant beleive I have neglected it for so long. Excellent stress releiver.
    The exercise regime has stepped up a pace, determined not to take my "muffin top" on holiday in August.

    Have a great day y'all and keep up with the challenges.

    Well done on resisting the lure of the bells...:T

    6AF please Shaggy

    That's me done for a while as we're off on holiday tomorrow. I'm not planning to be AF but will drink plenty of water and don't want to spoil any lovely sunny days being hungover.

    Should manage a few more days when I get back.

    Take care everyone and keep up the motivation (daily);).

    Happy Holiday Maman Smiley-Hammock.gif

    Miss You already :D

    Really fancied a drink last night. DH had a couple of ciders, and I'd had a stressy day at work. But somehow I managed to resist, so no fuzzy head for me today :D

    8 please Shaggy, and 1 for the SNC please Mackeroo

    Beautiful day here at last, shame it's not the weekend though.

    Me too Rachel - after just three days of having a drink The bells were clanging away - terrible really. But I did resist so I have - for the SNC please Mackeroo and 9 in total for June please Shaggy. I think I'll have to be AF for the rest of the month to hit my target though. Probably doable as I don't have anything sociable on that doesn't involve school and kids (so are AF events). I do wish I'd noti e a difference on the scales though!
    Trying to keep in budget.

    9 please, Shaggy
    And 1 for the SNC, please, Mackeroo

    Went to a lunch today where Pimms was served on arrival and wine offered throughout - I resisted, so AF today. DD2 passed her driving test today - first time - very proud. But DD1, home from uni at the moment, just gone completely ballistic because she knows that she will have to share the car we bought for the girls ... After all my good AF-ness today, I could really appreciate a glass of wine now, but will resist ...

    Hi everyone
    Hope you all well. Some may have noticed that ive removed myself from this weeks SNC challenge, for some reason im giving in too easy to the bells, in fact thats not even true, i dont even wait for them to ring, im opening the wine as soon as i get in! Feel pretty crappy about it so dont want a visual reminder of me failing this week so as the 'stand in for bearacus' for SNC i took the executive decision to remove myself from this weeks challenge. Hope you all dont mind.
    Will take it a day at a time. Ive also gone off the rails re WW, the 2 always go hand in hand. Feel my motivation is ebbing away on a daily basis and the temptation to eat crap and drink wine is winning at the mo.
    It entered my head (hangs head in shame) today to come on here and lie, and continue to notch up the AF days but if i aint truthful with my VL friends what hope have i got.
    Phew, all a bit heavy for a Tues night but feel better for sharing.
