So 6 days have whizzed past, and I can honestly say that I haven't been tempted once. I'm not really surprised by this, as this is the 5th year I've done Dry January, and I pretty much know that this honeymoon post quitting period is to be expected.
I went out last night with 3 close girlfriends for an early drink, and they were downing delicious looking cocktails. Again, not tempted. One of them asked me to taste hers, and couldn't understand why I wouldn't have a sip. She's one of those annoying "occasional drinkers" who can take or leave a glass of wine, and I explained to her that once I start I can't stop, so best not to start. I think she got it .. albeit tentatively.
The only disappointment was that there were only 2 mocktails on the list - this was Soho House which is a fairly fancy, happening place, and I guess drinking is the norm. But I ordered a beetroot, rose and tonic drink (sounds vile but it was actually good) and topped it up with soda to make it last.
Hot Yoga yesterday morning and this morning ... such a difference with a clear head. I actually felt energised, and less "struggling through it", more "enjoying the poses". I lose count of how many Saturday and Sunday morning yoga sessions I have felt queasy and sub par in. Many over the years.
Eye bags - not looking too bad, though the eyes are yet to sparkle in any way.
Weight - 73.5kgs which is pretty much what I expected. I want to lose 10kgs, which will see me finally fit into all those lovely UK size 12 clothes looking longingly at me from my wardrobe.
Starting the 4/3 fasting diet tomorrow, so let's see how that goes
Quit lit - Mrs D goes within ...
