40 days

Yes it’s been 40 days (as a lapsed Catholic I quite like the reference) since I last had a drink. I really think this is a HUGE accomplishment for me. In fact I don’t think I have ever, in my adult life, gone this long without a drink.

It was hard the first week or so, but not now. Now I don’t miss it at all. Mind you, I’m looking forward to drinking a bottle of Dom Perignon with Mr Man at Christmas (and maybe a glass or two at New Year).

Whilst Dom is incredibly expensive, I’ve worked out that with the money I have saved, I can buy at least 6 bottles. Now that’s what I call an incentive to save.

Did you know Dom Perignon was Marilyn Monroe’s favourite drink? I love Champagne – and I think it’s definitely worth saving yourself for! XXX

Well I will be in GREAT company then! Good job on the loss again. I have my weigh-in tomorrow and am a little worried – but I always am and it’s always OK… I have stuck to the plan and that’s the most important thing.
