Blog: Dry January – Helen

Over the coming weeks, we’re issuing people’s views and experiences about their Dry January 2016 challenge.

Today, Helen (scripted Mon 4 Jan):- 

Why?: well, neither of us drink that much but the weekly bottle of wine for me has increased to two, weight has crept up, and generally feeling a bit sluggish. We are both hoping that this will kick-start a new healthy 2016.

Finding it surprisingly easy so far, and even successfully had meal out at our local pub last night and had a gorgeous fruit drink instead. My son was waiting for us to forget and automatically order a glass of wine; the look on his face priceless.

Expectations: back at work today, so waiting for stress to kick in, I’m expecting Friday evening to be the killer.

Joined local gym so going swimming most evenings instead and, apart from catching my hubbie’s cold, feeling well and sleeping much better.
