DryFeb: Day 1

Should I start this off by admitting my “cheat” strategy? Here’s what I did last year and what I have put in place this year as a celebratory measure, should it be employed/necessary.

I did not have any alcohol on Monday, January 31st and DryFeb, for me, means being alcohol-free for 28 days! So this “cheat” means that if I wish to have a celebratory drink on the last day (Monday, February 28th) then I will! Judge if you must but being alcohol-free is a feat worthy of cheers!

Day 1: Tuesday, February 1st

Started the day by weighing myself. I will be sharing a + or - result once per week (every Tuesday) but no totals will be given because weight isn’t my favourite topic of conversation. I would like to lose a couple pounds this month and am curious to see if a lack on alcohol consumption will do anything for me in that respect.

I also had my first assessment with a new Athletic Therapist downtown. She is very awesome and our first session gives me hope for pain management and “prehab” structure which will help me post operation.

I’m at work now and we have a new contest goin’ which keeps us hosts incredibly busy so I hope to be posting about DryFeb a few times per week throughout the month.
