Hello! No alcohol since 29th December.
I think I would class myself as a heavy drinker prior to this, so I'm quite surprised at how easy it's been, after the first week or so.
Normal drinking nights would have been Friday, Saturday, Sunday. I'm now at the stage where I don't think about at the weekend, I've replaced alcohol with crisps and ginger beer, which I actually look forward to!
We had our company sales conference last Thursday, which involved an overnight stay in a swanky hotel. There was a gala dinner and a free bar all night. I wasn't even tempted, strange. felt good getting up early and hitting the gym.
Benefits so far? Getting out for early morning rides both Saturdays and Sundays, riding for longer and enjoying it.
Downsides? Not lost any weight, time to kick the crisps!
I only ever planned on doing this for January as my birthday is 2nd February, however, I'm now going to continue this through February and after that, who knows. Maybe permanently?
