Hi Queens,
Have decided to sober October again this year if anyone wants to join me for moral support?! I love a couple of glasses of prosexy on a weekend but my issue is with the amount of extra snacks I eat when having a few drinks. I always end up picking at plates of crackers and cheese or big bowls of crisps and dips so I've decided to cut it out for the month and hope I see some progress in my journey.
It's definitely not healthy and I'm definitely not hungry its just become a habit. I always feel so sluggish on a Sat and Sun morning after all that fizz and salt!
Come on help a Queen out and join in and see how we feel?!!
Ciara.
@Ciara Franklin hi Ciara, I am doing sober October at least until someone maybe comes to visit here ot there is a big celebration. I also feel the same, especially after August September I always find the summer months at home tend to involve a lot more socialising, bbqs and just those gorgeous summer nights of drinking.
I am glad of the humidity here as it makes sitting outside at night a tad uncomfortable & also its harder and way more expensive to buy alcohol here.
So we are on day 4 woohoo, actually, the first weekend is always the hardest and we did it. I did go out for dinner and I had a mocktail which was pear, yuzo and soda water, it was rather delicious.. Yay ..
I think it's great, sometimes it's just nice to give the body a break...
@Ciara Franklin I am so trying to cut down - like yourself the snacks... lets do this!
Can't do a sober October because it's my birthday month and I have two vacations 😊 but I really would like to cut back on my drinking so will follow along for tips!!!
Ah great @Dee Synnott ! I will really miss a glass of prosecco while watching strictly! Will need to do some low sugar mocktail ideas if anyone has any!! @Maeve Madden that sounds delicious!
Going to do a little picky plate with veggies and hummus to avoid the crisps and nuts and cheese overload for the weekend but defintely need Mocktail Inspo!!
First weekend down and I had to take the kids to early Basketball practice on Sunday morn so I was glad of no fizz headache!
Think Planning things to do Sat and Sun morning early helps too as it always feels better to have a clear head. I usually take weekends off QDQ but I am going to do a class early Sat Morn to keep that motivatuon!!
@Ciara Franklin The Saturday HIIT class is excellent! Really sets you up for the day!
@Ciara Franklin well done, one weekend down! Thinking of trying alcohol free wine or Prosecco this week 😎
