I haven’t had any alcohol for exactly a month today. I had a few reasons for the decision, some of them, which are summed up in this card I spotted in Paperchase. But most of all, I decided I needed all the help I could get for my 300km overnight bike ride, which is happening this Friday in Sweden!
I must say I haven’t even found it hard not to drink. Ok, when I was in Finland for half term, I quite fancied a cold beer on a couple of the gorgeous, sunny days, but didn’t ‘give in.’ And because I wasn’t drinking at a fantastic party my friends threw over the weekend, I had the pleasure of witnessing everyone else get utterly ruined by Jaeger, which was very entertaining!
If anyone needs motivation to drink less, I will happily tell you that a lot of people keep commenting about how good my skin looks and I can actually see some definition in my abs! And not having a hazy head in the morning when you haven’t slept that well anyway thanks to the kids is definitely a bonus too!
