Default Mods Monday

Off to pilates but wanted to start us up. DH and I have decided to make June (starting today though) a healthy month. More fish and leans meats, use our steamer more, keep up the exercise, mods...Two months till I turn 50 and I want to drop some weight.

How is everyone today?

Hey Ducky,

I am doing great today! I am trying to make June a healthy month as well - keeping up with my moderation (it's so nice to be able to enjoy the occasional margarita on the deck without stressing about it!)

Started excercising and eating healthy - I am trying to drop about 10 pounds as well! Bathing suit season is here!

Take care everyone, have a great mods day!
Uni

Good morning Ducky and Uni!

I'm with you. I tried really hard to eat better and move more, but the weight won't come off like I want! So I'm going to bump it up a little--get my bike out! I'd like to tone up and drop a few before we go to Texas next week, but that's probably asking too much!! I really thought that once I quit consuming the extra beer calories the weight would fall off. Maybe it's my age???
I'm pretty happy about my moderating. I have gone from drinking 8-10 beers 3-5 nights a week and then sometimes more on the weekend, to a few beers at social events a couple times a month. (From 30 beers a week to less than that a month) I still need to work on cutting down on the number of beers at a time by adding water between beers. Next goal!

Hang in there everyone!! I think Finding my self has added some inspiration to this site!!

Morning all, seems to be something in the air, or maybe its because the first holiday is over......we never made it to a party we had on Saturday, which wasn't a bad thing, had our own cookout with the kids which made me more attune to not drinking with everything i do, also made me do some more cooking and baking, made TGIF's sauce to go with the BBQ on Sat and then made some healthy chicken soup......didn't go AF this weekend, was kind of depressed, get that way on holidays, but did do pretty darn good if i say so myself....i have found it easier to keep that water available in between sips, if not in between drinks......new week, new start to exercise and eat right and get out and enjoy this beautiful weather, and hopefully drop a few pounds as well for bathing suit season.

Hey Waves,

A bit up and down here. The exercise is going great and we have been eating less, and healthier. I dropped 4 pounds in the last couple of weeks. Still wanting to cut down more on A though...

How is everyone else doing?

Seriously guys I might have to change my name from Boozehag to Mother Theresa. I am so virtuous these days I might well be cannonized. Moderating is going well - no binge urges at all. Funny thing though I have been swimming most days since the day I went AF/NF that is 1 April. Well I started on 25 lengths then upped it to 30 lengths then moved to from the kiddies pool into the main pool. No just joking I am now on 50 lengths and its a piece of cake. Well the interesting thing is that for the first few lengths my brain goes what the hell do you think you are doing this hurts us why not go and sit in the lovely spa pool or the steam room or better still the cafe and nobody will know. It is the same freaking voice that used to make me drink and smoke. I have come to the conclusion that the brain is really a lazy alcoholic couch potatoe that just wants to lie around all day and drink and smoke and eat bad food. What you think?
