Default Modster Monday - March 31st!

Good day Modsters!

With the new month coming tomorrow I am motivated to try harder to cut my drinking down. I am doing better on the whole than when I started here, but still have a ways to go. I actually ordered the 6 week starter kit to help motivate myself and make sure I have the right supplements. I also want to start eating more healthfully. I have been exercising but not losing weight because I eat and drink too much.

I hope to see a lot of modsters check in. Off to get my braces tightened.

Hi Ducky,
I'm with ya. With a couple of social events behind me now, and a cold that has taken up residence in my larynx and chest--I'm going to try harder. Like you, I'm doing way better than I was, but I want to go AF for several days, eat better, and exercise more!

Hey Kat and LTV, I am glad to have some company! I had a healthy breakfast and plan to work out later. I want to start weaving some AF weekdays in, and stick to one cocktail or 2-3 glasses of wine when I do indulge. I turn 50 this summer and I am tired of feeling like crap and carrying 25 extra pounds. Let's do it!!!

hey all, so nice to see that mods thread is back ! I was getting a bit nostalgic that no one was posting.

I have a plan as well for this month. eating healthy is number 1. doing a raw detox.

and cutting down on the drink.

it is similar to your BB
I would like to stay AF on weekdays and only drink in the eve. on the weekends.

let's see how far we can take this.


big hug to my mod friends

Welcome back Boopster!

And everybody else too!



Wow! Tomorrow is April Fools isn't it?

This has felt like one of the longest winters in history...

I'm soooo ready for a change of season!

Doing suprisingly well on the Modding... don't know why,... I'm soo frustrated & pissed @ work lately, I can't wait to quit & start @ my new job! But that won't happen for another month or so...
Just trying to be patient...

I feel like I "should" be drinking like a fish... I always used to in times like this...
Just haven't felt the need other than my usual few beers here & there...

Maybe I'm just getting old! LOL

Have a great day everybody.
Huge hugs,
Judie

PS...yep it has been quiet down here in mods land. I must admit, I kinda quit posting except in the private Forum for a while... after being cyber attacked by Sh*tcakes...I didn't really have the heart to come out & be "exposed" to that for a while...

I'm back now.

Not gonna let her ruin this place for me...

Hello Betty Boop, Trixietrack & St Jude, Betty, my goal is at least Mon-Thurs AF. Fri-Sat or Sunday no more that 3. I have the extra goal of weight loss this time. Trixietrack, what is raw detox ? St Jude, sometimes I am able to mod despite stress and sometimes not. I really have to say if we keep repeating our goals maybe some of it sticks. I agree on the long winter, thought it would never end. Best to you on your new job, maybe that is your motivation.

Hi BB, Trix, Judie --

BB, glad to hear the supps help. I can't wait to receive mine. I have the kudzu so will take that alone until the rest of the stuff arrives.

I get scared to be too definitive w/r to goals because I am afraid to fail. I feel good if I can manage 2 AF days during the week and be mods (2-3 glasses) the rest. So that's what I will strive for. For me the main challenge is to keep busy. I tend to use AL to fill up my evenings.

BB, glad you are posting. Judie, glad to see you back as well. I know it's easy for me to say but try not to let anyone/thing get to you. There will always be someone you don't get along with and you guys are valued here.

Glad to see some posts today. Hope it continues!

Oh, and I would like to lose 15 pounds by my birthday, which is July 25th. Cutting back on my friend AL should help!
