    Update: 14/16

    A failure tonight due to a combination of boredom and a bad day at work so I suspect that with 2 days of the month to go that I will miss my target.
  • 5/12reporting back with only one more afd. Am trying to end the month on a positive. Was at gps yesterday she took my blood pressure which was fine, then asked me if I smoked or drank. No to the first, yes to the second. She strongly hinted at my weight being the result of my wine consumption. I know she's right. I really want to change my weight loss signature, but can't until I lose some:o. Made me determined not to drink last night, just a shandy with B*varia 0% which is really quite nice. Felt so much more positive when I woke up this morning. Off now to walk my four legged friend. Have a lovely day everyone.:T
    Total weight lost 6.5/73lbs starting yet again. Afds August 10/15. /8 Sept.

    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.

    Hey you gorgeous people :hello:

    No more AFDs to report but definitely I can say Ive cut down and am more aware of the volume Im drinking :j

    Last night I did a story telling gig in one of the small clubs in town :eek: it was my first time (and last...bucket list thingy) so there was no way I was going AF :rotfl:the evening was a success (thankfully) and I was also able to moderate my wine intake - yet feel that I had some dutch courage :j

    Still on 11/20 Shaggy - I hope I can add another one tonight but I cant be sure just yet :o

    PS - I just love reading all your posts. Love to all :grouphug:

    You're like me and need today and tomorrow to be AF to meet your target. Don't give it up yet. It isn't over until the month is through.
