Anyone Up For 30 Day AF

Hi Ishy, hope you had a great day at the beach.
There have been a lot of folks who have talked about the colleration between periods and cravings, so I think there is something there - I know I used it as one of my many million excuses to drink, and I do know a couple of my slips when I really was not expecting it was when I was about to start. I am perimenopausal, so not really sure which of my moods/state of mind to blame on what:H

Hi again,
SL, I have had many PMS drunks! The hangovers are even more wicked than usual. The last time I stayed in bed with a hangover migraine. See another bad memory to reinforce why I'm no longer drinking.
Pj. I forgot to mention how super cute your sweet pea is! I love animals, they see your soul.

Hi everyone

Not checked in for a few days so thought I'd better.
Janet - good luck with the interview . Sweet pea is really cute.
Janice (doubt you'll see this) but I am thinking about you , hope your trip is going OK.
Hi Ishy, Scottlish Lass and anyone else following. Interesting comment re periods - I've had a hysterectomy (still have ovaries) but prior to this I always had v erratic / irregular periods. I do get odd spells of a couple of days or so every few weeks when I experience worse cravings so maybe it is related to my hormone cycle - have no way of knowing!

Have a good day all x

Hello Everyone,

A quick post for me...

Hope everyone is doing well and congrats on your AF day count. I am have been struck by a VERY bad spider bite and there are these PAINFUL blisters that formed on my left side of my hand (has the most blisters), arm and outer bicep area. Unfortunately, I don't have medical insurance but the good news is that it's starting get somewhat better. But wow it's still really painful and it doesn't help in the heat or going on job interviews. Speaking of interviews both places were not the place I wanted work and so I keep moving forward to find the place (sigh).

Anywho, it's been a rough week but I have been just TRYING to stay positive and just remind myself that I will get through it.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Hugs,
Janet

Hello Everyone,

Hope you all had a nice weekend. I am doing good and a phew of relief that my spider bite is healing, wow was that a scary experience. Nothing to really post....unfortunately the interviews that I have been on are just not a match for me, except for one and they haven't made a decision yet. But again, keeping positive thoughts.....

How is EVERYONE? Janice, hope your visit is going well. Sausage, how are you feeling? Ishybit, what beach did you go to? I love La Jolla beach because you have the beach and park together, but that parking is a pain.

Wishing everybody a great week and I will check back in tomorrow....


Hugs,
Janet

Hi Janet and everyone.

Yes 6 months for me today! Feels great. Just been for a run for the first time in a long while to celebrate. Wasn't very fast but i did keep going and I feel so much better for it now.

Janet you have had a run of bad luck, things can only get better, Janice hoping your trip continues to go OK - look forward to you posting on your return. Hi Ishy. Scottish Lass and everyone else.

Have a great AF day xx

Hi everyone, just got back so a quick check-in before bed. Will catch up on your posts tomorrow but just wanted to say a massive Congrats to Sausage on 6months-brilliant!!!

Good couple of weeks, the first week had its moments of stress but I was prepared. The second week my hubby joined me and we had a few days in Yorkshire, finishing off at York Races today before travelling home.

Well...there was alcohol everywhere! Never seen so many drunken women - all done up in high heels, short skirts, fake tan, big hats, & absolutely plastered. It was obvious they had no interest in the racing and by the end of the afternoon ever so many were having to be propped up & others were being sick-what a sight! It reinforced the reasons why I dont want alcohol back in my life - the effects are ugly.

Off to bed, will pop back tomorrow.

xx

Hello Everyone,

Janice, glad that hear that your trip went well. Sausage, way to go on the run and hey who cares how fast you, it's best to start slow anyway. Scottish Lass, how are you? A welcome hug to anyone reading this thread.

I am doing okay, finally starting to recover from this flu. However, I still have the cold and sometimes cough and hope I will be able to contain it tomorrow on my interview. It's been about a 3 weeks since I went for a run and FINALLY I am ready to start running again. I was able to take my dog out on my bike this weekend, she just loves the doggie basket.

Anywho, wishing everybody a great week and I will check back in on Wednesday. Oh wow, just checked to the calendar and a week from today will be 4 months....yikes!!!


Hugs,
Janet

pj - I am good, thanks for asking - hanging in and strinking together AF days in August, the odd slip here and there, but overall trotting along . Quick check in whilst at work - don't tell!
I really hope the interview goes well tomorrow - hopefully the cough lies low for your time to shine!
Janice - it is interesting to watch the effects of AL - makes one really wonder what they were like doesn't it
Have a good day all.....

Hi everyone...Janet, Sausage, Ishy, Scottish Lass, hope all is well in AF Land!

Janet, hope you're feeling better & that you're over the flu..how did the interview go?? Scottish Lass well done for sticking at it & stringing those AF days together, I hope you're feeling the benefits!! Sausage good to hear you're getting back into the running. Exercise is so important & helps to keep us positive...I swam yesterday for the first time in 3wks. The hardest part was getting up & out early but I felt so much better afterwards! Ishy, good to hear from you...kids must be back at school soon??

Dark wet afternoon here...trying to motivate myself to clean the bathroom but I keep ending up on the laptop knee deep in my family history research...still a few months back at this time of the day I would have been working my way through the first bottle. I am been very kind to myself lately & just enjoying the simple pleasures of my new life.

Just checked my diary & its Day 112...been there before a few yrs back but not much further!! I was certainly having mod thoughts at this stage & struggling with the "go on, you know it makes sense" voices in my head. But nothing like that this time. Now & again I mght have a thought "oh wouldnt it be nice..." but thats all it is, a thought. I cant because it wouldnt be nice and I wont - thats all there is to it.

Look forward to hearing from you all ...xx
