    evening all. Another AF day today - DH is away and I never drink when alone at night with the kids (what if I had to drive to the hospital????).

    Trasi, you touch a nerve for me when you said that drinking leaves a hole - my danger time is actually after we've eaten and cleared up and there's an hour before bed. If I've had a glass with dinner it's almost sure I'll slump in front of the telly. If not, there's a much greater possibilty that I'll do something that needs to be done or I want to do. - so why do I choose to just slump and waste away another hour on doing nothing?
    Trying to keep in budget.

    Congratulations on the wee half pound mackeroo, it all counts!

    Good to see lots of enthusiastic target setting for April! Well done everyone for sticking with it.

    One more for me tonight, so that's

    13AF please Shaggy

    Undecided about tomorrow. I'm out to lunch so may have a drink but if I do it won't be many.
  • 1 more AF please Shaggy. I actually went to the pub this evening after a comedy event. Didn't drink as I was driving. Also celebrating 90 days of being cigarette free.
    Grinning like a cheshire cat.

    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.

    Rachael and Shaggy - have you found www.foodfocus.co.uk - really good dieting tool and is also free (or at least it is free for the moment).

    Thanks for the link. I'll try and have a look at it later. I have been quite angelic over the last couple of days :A well for me anyways....:)
