Dryathlon

Does anyone else fancy joining Lucylu and me for a dry (alcohol free) January?? It starts 9am on 1st January 2013.

I know that the alcohol (syns in it and it's effects on my determination to stick to plan, not to mention missing exercise classes and gym sessions due to hang overs!!) is really detrimental to my weight-loss efforts. Plus I will be quite poor in January as well, so won't really be able to afford to keep going out. SO - I've decided to commit to this.


PS I need one golden pass for works do, but that's allowed!!

PPS We will all be responsible for our own sponsorships etc rather than doing that as a team as it could get complicated otherwise. This thread will just be a support network for the SW Minimins Dryathletes.

Come on peeps!!!! Join us!!!

I too have one day out planned in jan but I'm really hoping to do this! If I'm honest the only weekends I don't drink would be if I'm ill so this is a real test for me!

I'd usually be out and drinking Fri, Sat and Sun every weekend so a real challenge for me as well. Hoping it might break the habit for me!!

*Edit* I clearly didn't read and realise it was a sponsorship thing, I won't be participating (well I won't be having alcohol but not for sponsorship ..if I suggest I'll be carted off to AA haha) Good luck guys!

Woo hoo - loads of Miniminners on board. I'm not going overboard asking people to sponsor me as I hate hassling people. I've put the link etc on my facebook page and will find the link for my Just Giving page to put on here so people know who I am. I'll donate some of my own pennies at the end of the month as well. I figure every little helps, but January is a lean month for people (financially at any rate!!) so don't want to peeve people off going on about sponsorships.
