Well, gang, I did it. I survived one whole week without hooch.
You may recall that last week, I told you about my intention to give up booze for FebFast. A week has past, and I'm pure as the driven snow. There were times when I was tempted - on Saturday night, it was hard to see my family drinking wine with their Thai while I had Diet Coke, and on Friday night, at The Winery, I wanted to throttle anyone who had vodka as well as soda water and lime. Yesterday, D and I went to see a play, something we do pretty regularly...but always with a glass of wine in our hands. This time, we stuck to Diet Coke. I've got to say, it made staying awake during the play a helluva lot easier.
There are so many added, unexpected benefits to this teetotal lifestyle, too. Not only is my purse feeling the effects (I estimate I saved about $120 over the weekend. Which is a little shameful to admit...but probably on the money. Geddit?) but my waist is, too. In seven days, I've lost 1.5 kgs. That's including the two croissants I ate over the weekend, half a cannoli, a profiterole and dessert at Bills. Pretty amazing, huh? It's making me think twice about getting back on the chardonnay train, for sure.
How are you guys going with FebFast? I want to hear all about it...
