Getting back to Target
Morning all...... for those that don't know me..... I'm a beer drinker! - not in a problematic way, just socially, but socially used to be maybe 3 times a week.
Since joining SW in January, I've now lost 2 stone and have reduced my beer consumption dramatically.... always kept within my syns (except for special occasions ( my birthday and a family weekend party) and business trips/holidays, all of which were planned.
I WI on a Thursday evening, and generally now go out on a Friday, drink 40-60 syns, and have none, or 1 or 2 syns here and there between Saturday and WI - keeping within 80 syns per week.
Most weeks, if I go out again, I drink diet coke, or if I've had less on a Friday, I maybe have 10-20 syns on a Wednesday if I'm still within my allowance.
Generally, Friday & Wednesdays are nights out... occasionally on a Sunday lunch - all pub visits, and from time to time I'll have a few beers after WI if I'm at a friends and not driving.
The last couple of months have been lose a 1lb, put on a 1lb, lose 0.5lb, put on 0.5lb..... you get my drift, I'm still overall down, and as of WI last night, I'm at my lowest weight so far, so not all bad, but I'm wondering if stopping drinking, and using my syns daily instead of weekly might benefit?
So.... I'm going to challenge myself not to drink for a couple of weeks or so -
I enjoy a social drink, and would miss it if I gave up entirely (I think)... but have decided for now that I will not have an alcoholic drink for the rest of August.... OK it's only a fortnight, but it's a start!!!
I've not had one since Sunday anyway, and had diet coke on Wednesday when we went out.
Has anyone else found that giving-up has helped, or doesn't make any difference iif it's within your allowance anyway?
So... that's it.. lots of waffling
Day 1 today
