Halloween!

Halloween night.  Kept my promise to myself.  Goodnight!

Day 5

Buffalo Wild Wings.  Saints won!  I continued my water drinking streak!

Day 4!

I feel like I have more energy tonight than I usually do!  Pansy and I went on a long walk down to the river and back home.  I'm going to make some eggs for dinner and then do my new nightly beauty routine.  I'm feeling much more calm today.

On another note, my sweet Pansy is sadly getting old.  :(  I should take her on walks more often.  I love that little girl, and she makes my evenings happier.

Day 3

Day 3, and all is peaceful.  I have been feeling better drinking water, and I'm already in bed close to falling asleep before 10 pm!  I was thinking of taking a long walk with Pansy tonight, but I got a little lazy and watch Sons of Anarchy and organized my fantasy football team instead.  There's always tomorrow.

Big day at work tomorrow!  I have 2 Hearings, and I'm working with a new guy.  I'm hoping that goes a little better than the last one...which I shouldn't comment about too much since I don't have a lot of nice things to say.

Also, I feel good about how well I've started taking care of my skin.  No make-up here and my skin isn't too red!  I think my red cheeks were because of the drinking.

Goodnight world.  I feel peaceful and happy. 

Day 2

Usually when I come home from work, I make myself dinner and drink beer while I cook, eat, and then watch TV.  Today, I drank water, and when my roommate called me with an emergency (her car wouldn't start), I was really glad that I didn't drink because I had to drive somewhere.

I'm feeling good today and thinking that water may just be better for me than beer!

Have my face mask on, and time for a bath. 

End of Day 1

I made it all day.  Stayed busy.  Somehow knowing that I cut myself off made me really just want to have a glass of wine.  I feel good today though...got a lot more done than usual for a Sunday!

Pansy is skeptical.

Day 1 - October 26, 2014

I just thought of doing this while laying in bed, not able to sleep.  I've had a headache for almost a week now, something hurts in the back of my head...  Got me thinking, how would I be feeling if I were healthier?

The benefits I've thought about so far are:
weight loss
skin/hair condition
overall health (less sugar)
teeth will probably be stronger/more white
more clear minded
better performance at work
less sick leave used
mental stability
better able to care for others
no legal risk in not drinking
financial
fun - I'd like to learn new ways to have fun

I wonder what I'll look back and think were the benefits in a year?  There's probably so many that I haven't thought of...
