health, husband, Moo, reflection, Sober for October

Yay!!! Success!!!! It is all downhill from here 😀

Time for some reflection. I have actually been booze free for 19 days, and have successfully drunk 2 litres of water each day. I have also been sticking to a pretty healthy diet. So far I have shed about 7lbs. I was away for work yesterday and unprompted someone said my skin looked amazing, glowing! Then she asked if I was pregnant 😐 mind you, I half expected that question when I decided to go sober.

But there are points where it is still a struggle. I do crave a glass of wine from time to time. To get through the weekend I decided to try an alcohol free wine. I was distinctly underwhelmed I have to say, it was a jumped up Shloer. I have another one to try tomorrow, but that doesn’t even pretend to be wine.

On non health news, the eldest child (Moo) was poorly this week. I was a rubbish mum and slept through the carnage whilst the husband dealt with it (I blame the flu jab for making me feel a bit worn out). She also finished up for a two week school holiday. Other parents look horrified when I say 2 weeks, their half term is a week and two days. So two weeks of frantic child and work juggling ahead!

Anyway, I’m posting a pic of my alcohol free wine. Don’t everyone rush at once!

fitness, health, Sober for October

After a week of staying off the booze, drinking lots of water and watching what I eat, it was time to step things up. Back to the gym, eeeeeeek!!!!

I had actually been out running a handful of times before starting Sober for October. I was using C25K and was slow but trying. It is getting darker at night so I’m shifting my efforts to the gym because I don’t fancy freaking myself out on dark roads!

So on the treadmill I knew exactly how far I went. I managed 2.5km in 20 mins. Not too bad considering how unfit I am. I was red for ages afterwards!

It will be Thursday before I get to go again due to work and childcare, but I am aiming for 5km by Christmas. Might sign up to the Christmas Day 5k as extra motivation…..hmmmmm…..
