4am?? Girl you've got some insane motivation. I wouldn't be able to get my eyes to uncross at that hour. WTG on the meals today, and I wish you much luck on the wine!!

Wine had always been a major part of my sleep aid.... so u will prolly be seeing TONS of 4AM POSTINGS FROM NOW ON. I have a brutal case of insomnia.

Keep up the good work baby girl. I know that you got the willpower to handle anything, keep on truckin momma!

I think it will pass before long!!

That was the SAME reason I used to LOVE wine in the off season, but once I dropped it seemed okay after a few weeks, so you can do it too!!

Ok, Today wasn't so good. Not really in the mood to eat. I get like that and it SUX!
6am- maybe 3 bites of my egg white. Tummy just didn't feel like eating. Jumped on the treadmill for 30 minutes(HIIT) and did some push ups and crunches. Baby doesn't let me get to the gym, much, but I DO use a 70 pound weight vest on the treadmill..... so that helps.
I had a chicken breast and 1/2 apple after my workout. My body is REALLY grumpy without the wine. It is making it hard to eat..... but thats a good sign I shouldn't drink anymore wine.
I tried to eat orange roughy tonight, but only choked down 2 bites.
No worries. I'msure I will be back to normal when my body adjust to not having wine EVERY night. Its almost like Im detoxing. geeez.

MW, if you really want to detox, this is the way to do it.

If, for instance you have 4 glasses of wine at night, have 4 glasses for 3 days, then 3 glasses for 3 days, then 2 glasses for 3 days... And so forth until you have 0, then you don't have any. Otherwise you'll go through uncomfortable withdrawals. This way will be seamless.

I know you are 100% correct, however, just feeling like I NEED it like this makes me HATE even thinking about drinking it. I feel like it is controling me if I drink it, so I can't do that to myself. It's the rough road, but I want to feel in control.
Does that make any sense?

I know you're right and you have been the BIGGEST motivating force for me every step of the way.... with this and EVERYTHING else. Thank you.

Makes perfect sense.

My suggestion is to just try and shift that focus to something else? Or remind yourself of all the calories you were wasting on wine, and use about half of those or something to "treat" yourself to something each week? Could do the trick??

I completely understand what you're saying, and I think is so great you are hating the wine. That alone will keep you motivated. My advice is based on what Dr's prescribed when someone wants/needs to detox at home on their own. However, that also depends on how much you were drinking. If it wasn't much, then stopping cold turkey will only be uncomfortable and you will get used to it. However, if you were drinking a great deal, I really don't recommend you do that. Because I am a Health Counselor as well as a Nutritionist, I get to see so many people with challenging issues walking in my office that can be avoided.
I hope you're doing well today. It's one step at a time.

((Big hug to you, girl!))
