Attempted "Dry January" for the very 1st time and I found it an absolute doddle. Last gulp of booze (Stella) was at 1800 on Dec 31st.

Ate the same, zero exercise but I swapped booze for Orange Fanta / Lemon Fanta / Coffee.

The Results!

1st Jan 76.30kg - 168.2lbs - 12st 0.2lbs
1st Feb 73.55kg - 162.1lbs - 11st 8.1lbs

A weight loss of 2.75kg - 6.1lbs.

Lightest I've been for a few years. Always stuck around the 76.5kg mark with visits to the 77kg range quite frequent! I was aiming for the 74kg mark so this result exceeds my expectations.

Saying all that, I've be having a 0.0% Guinness later (that's the only Guinness ASDA had in stock yesterday). Chin Chin.

Well, I've shown through the lack of cravings that I can cut down a lot on what I drink but I'll still drink, just not as much.

Probably keep it to 1 drink after work midweek at most but then sensibly enjoy myself at the weekend.

I'll certainly be watching the scales. It's 1120am and I've still not opened a Can / Bottle as a relief either for late last night at midnight or this morning to chill with after 31 days.

I feel strangely calm about it all, something I wasn't expecting.

Nice one dude, sounds like a good plan. 🙂

Cool you've not gone hell for leather straight back into it after the 31 days.
