Afternoon :hello:
Stayed on the AF wagon over Easter - though the diet went a bit to pot- though probably just means I won't lose anything this week rather than a gain. Still 3 months to my holidays....

Slowdown pushing out the
for you. If you want to join the April monthly challenge there are (including yesterday) 10 days up for grabs - you can also go TF - target free - if you want a "no pressure" option.

Well done Slowdown, I read your posts yesterday but didn't get time to reply, I think a lot of us are in the same boat as you. I only managed 11 AFDs last month so I'm happy with this months total. I actually look forward to adding another day to my tally now.
Keep up the good work everyone xx
Thank you BlueDaisy. And well done on your total this month.
Thank you to sukeyboo and Shaggy to for your comments. I have to say that I m going to go for the no pressure option of not getting a target set in stone as I just don't think I'd like to set myself up for failure at the moment. Bit of a chicken I know, but hey.
I didn't have a drink last night as I was at yoga and very relaxing it was too. Had a calm day at work yesterday which helped, but found out yet another member of staff might be leaving in Sept. That means 5 out of 8 teaching staff will be going. These are people I have worked with for a long time and I'm feeling a little bereft. Some are older and retiring, one is having a baby and two are moving to new schools.:
(All adds to my insecurities.
Well time to shake a leg for work, later than usual already!
PS. Anyone eating chocolate instead of drinking? I seem to be.
Kind regards

Well done for last night, Slowdown.
I'm not eating chocolate but I do have a mug of hot chocolate at about 9pm as my 'relax' drink now, instead of a glass (or 2) of wine
15/16 for me please Shaggy

Morning all,
I think going target-free is a good place to start Slowdown.
I am with Bluedaisy - hot chocolate has become my evening tipple on AF days now and I must say I do enjoy it - not sure I will feel quite the same on long, hot summer evenings though (if we get any that is!)
I am declaring early for tonight as I am off to Zumba and know I won't have a drink after that, so that takes me to 9/12
Shaggy - look at all those smilies you have against your name! You are doing so well - congratulations :T0
