Day 4; oh no it’s the weekend!
22/07/11 • 1 Comment

So far… so good!  Although I appreciate it is early days!  I am finding not drinking in the week pretty easy, it’s nice to watch the end of TV programmes without nodding off, I have been going to bed at a decent time, and I think my quality of sleep is much better I feel much more alive in the morning now whereas before I used to feeling like I was wading through a fog!  I also appreciate my food more and am finding I can eat much more without even touching my weekly bonus points!  Although sadly the scales don’t seem to be cooperating!  I think the wine belly has gone down a bit though which is definitely a bonus (or maybe wishful thinking?). I have to admit though I have been dreading the weekend; surely Friday eves were may for cracking open a nice bottle of white and having [...]

Day 2…

So I survived day 1 with no alcohol, and was looking forward to waking up bright eyed and bushy tailed… the reality? I didnt sleep at all well and woke up feeling like I had been out on the tiles I am ralisitic though and I know from experience that eventually sleep will return to normal, and then I will reap the rewards as the quality of sleep is so much better.  I have a weigh in tonight at WW, and expect to maintain after a week of indulgence in food and booze, however I am confident that this is the proper start to my weight loss journey and look forward to getting on the scales next week.  Furthermore I find already I have plenty of points to spare so can identify a daily treat so I don’t feel so deprived! Today i may have M&Ms!

Ok, so here starts my journey of 3 months alcohol free! How am I feeling? A kind of low grade anxiety, can I do this? What if I can’t? Why am I doing this? That’s simple, I drink too much! I drink a bottle of wine every day, I try not to, I tell myself I won’t drink in the week or that I’ll only have one, and then there’s that open bottle of wine, and I think just one more, and then the bottle is empty! Then there is weight watchers, I have been going 10 weeks and have had limited success, why? Because I drink too much, I spend all my weekly bonus points (and more) on wine and actually don’t eat much at all but still don’t lose weight, its ridiculous, so instead I will have something nice to eat and ditch the bottle of wine (18) points [...]
