Anyone doing Dry January?
 
I am going to do it this year and might extend till my birthday in March. I only drink at weekends but going to knock that on the head for a bit. I don't sleep well and rarely sleep past 6am so hoping if I have an alcohol detox it may help.

Anyone else doing it or maybe Veganuary?

Might do a couple of weeks, half dry January? [emoji23] just a Christmas detox

Dry day

Yeah i am. Been drinking way too much recently. Alright at the time, but such a massive downer otherwise.

Im doing 6 months sober (gonna try my hardest). Last year, i got my 6 pack back, good eating (1 cheat day a week), lots of walking and working out.

Im gonna start a "lets go" thread in the new year. Eat well, drink non, walk, lift weights, move etc. A thread where we can encourage, give tips, will each other on.

That sounds like a great idea.

I don't often drink, but when I do there is normally some sort of calamity.

I went out for a Christmas brunch in Birmingham and somehow ended in Manchester with no idea how I got there. No other trains back and hotels full so it cost me £370 in a taxi to get home which was 113 miles away

It doesn't bother me to not drink, it makes me feel quite down afterwards anyway.

Looking forward to getting back into a healthy routine where I'm eating better and exercising

I went there 7 years ago, I didn't sit down for the meetings but I went to get weighed every week, kept me motivated

The meetings can be handy with tips on what to eat to stay on plan if going out for dinner

I didn't stick to it that rigidly, if I went out to dinner I ate what I wanted, it still worked really well though (obviously I wasn't eating out loads)

Nicky91 30-12-2024 01:51 PM

Slimming World?

Paying money for someone to tell you to stop shoveling food in your mouth.

I'll tell you for free.

Redway 30-12-2024 05:47 PM
