On my way home tonight I had a great feeling: I feel healthier. Not just like "Yay, I'm not hungover" but really just healthier in general. Also, it may just be in my mind, but I think I am a wee bit smaller in my waist. Just a little. And even if it is just in my mind, that's ok, because it's making me more motivated to keep this up. Even if it's just the food part and toning down the drinking.
I messaged a few people: "My hardest challenge is done, and 13 days down!"
Almost all of them wrote: "Wow. Bet you're excited for Wednesday." (My official first day I could drink after the completion of this 2 week challenge)
You know what though? I don't know if I will drink Wednesday. I don't have the desire to. I definitely don't want to drink "just because I can." I miss being asked to have a drink, and regret always having to decline. But I have been trying for a long time to only drink "when there's an event" and told myself "that I couldn't/wouldn't just randomly ask people to join me for a happy Tuesday evening of cocktails." After this little endevor I think that will be easier.
I have money. I feel better. I think ultimately I will look better (can't loose too much weight, gotta keep the girls) but you get the picture.
I know sooner than later I will try a sample of the new wine at work, or sample a new martini I concocted for a customer request. But I am really going to make a concious effort to remember how easy one slide's righttttt backkkkk into it.
Oh well, raise your caramel cappuccino glasses: "Here's to day fourteen."
