Dry January

[suityou01]

Feckit, given that there's less than 1% chance of making it to the end of the month, I may as well fail early and then I can relax.

You did better than me by about 4 days. Treasure that

[MarillionFan]

Yeah, same here.

For my sins I'm still battling on with 5:2 fasting therefore I already don't drink 2 days a week. I always feel marvellous the day after fasting, very fresh and detoxed in the morning while looking forward to whatever I want to eat that day and a pint or glass (or three) of red that evening.

But like you said, it's mainly calories for me. I probably drink 50 units o' booze a week = approx 5000 calories. No wonder the fasting diet isn't really working wonders for me

F*** it



EDIT: I'm considering allowing myself one day per week of drinking during January. The first one being today. I'm crawling the walls to go to the pub!

I've just calculated my intake online for the last week(which was about normal), coming to 18 units a day average, which seems to be around 1200-1300 calories a day. That would account for why I've piled the weight on. Need to break that habit.

3 pints for me last night at the pub. But I'm still going to try to not drink this week and treat myself to a bevvy at the weekend again

Day 10.

How's everyone doing? Anyone barricaded themselves into a spare room like Renton on Trainspotting for the weekend?

Still dry here. Might be tested a little over the weekend but a couple of friends are doing it too so meeting up with them shouldn't be a problem.

I've only lapsed twice due to illness but since then have been averaging 10 units of cool, delicious, throat-quenching, lip smacking cool iced beer a day...mmmmmm....

If you are regularly drinking 18 units of alcohol a day on average, being a fat bastard might soon be the least of your worries.
I've had no alcohol since Christmas day, part from a couple of glasses on New year's eve.

I have barely drunk anything this month (maybe nothing) but then again I barely drink generally.

[Platypus]

Slipped, but am making a supreme effort to drink on fewer than my usual 5 days per week, and drink less on the days when I do drink.

Gave up giving up. Feel much happier for my failure.
