13/25 please. Annoyed as even if I stay AF for the whole of the rest of the month I will miss my target by 1 day again…

@doingitanyway it's quite a high target - also, if you do 24 AFDs, all of them are better than a non-AFD xx :)

You'll have 3 extra days to play with next month @doingitanyway so it'll be much easier. Don't be so hard on yourself. 🤗

18/25 for me today please.
Lent starts today, and for some reason I've always found it easier to abstain for those 40 nights.

What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?
