2/31 AFDs. Lots of cups of tea have been my substitutes.
I've sloped off to bed early as telly is boring, and I'm trying not to snack.
Did go for my first run of the year this morning... not far and not fast, but this was the first one after 3 weeks of a virus.What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?0 -
I greatly admire anybody who is trying for 31 days!
I've remained AF so far though feeling awfully tempted, must not give in.2018 totals:
