    I had a drink yesterday and I feel awful today so I'm off it. Permanently.
    You can have results or excuses, but not both.

    11 please, thanks very much for keeping score, Baileys I am really sorry, but I can't take over for you in August, because things are pretty hectic here.

    Day 6 Alcohol free, the weekend was hard as that!!!8217;s when I normally treat myself.
    Day 2 Caffeine free, I!!!8217;m finding this even harder, I have less of a headache today so it!!!8217;s improving.

    I don!!!8217;t normally eat much sugar, but found myself eating sweets yesterday, so that!!!8217;s not good. I do need to lose about a stone in weight and I was hoping cutting out alcohol and coffee may help me achieve this, it won!!!8217;t if I am snacking on junk food!
