Thanks for the encouragement HB.:)
I know it's poor food choices that are mostly to blame (We've eaten out 8 times in 4 weeks:eek:). Too many treat foods like chips, bread and cheese and invariably when I'm out socialising I have midweek alcohol which just adds to the total.
No drinking tonight. Hope you manage it too lucy.

DH is working late tonight, so I'm taking the boys over to see him and grab a takeaway to feed us all. Might also be on taxi duty to collect skids from the train station later, so definitely AF tonight.

12/18 for me pls.
Ok confession time....
Went out for dinner last night and drank too much wine. Felt so bad this morning that i couldn't get out of bed. Eventually i was sick and then felt better enough to move. Feel ashamed of myself to over do it that much, can't remember the last time i was ill on alcohol. Don't even want any for a long time. Cross with myself.Live for the moment and plan for the future0 -
Anyway, so I changed my mind when I got home from work and did in fact have a drink, for the first time in a fortnight, and that means I'm still on 15/21 for today. I will probably also have a drink tomorrow but plan to be back on track on Sunday.0
