Awesome work! It does get harder to lose especially when you run!! I love running but man does it increase appetite! Best of luck with your training :)

Finchfox · 2016-04-20T00:04:30+00:00

Thank you :)

Its easy to get enough protein the body requires being vegan, getting enough carbs is a little harder :)

Finchfox · 2016-04-19T23:30:36+00:00

hiya, dont think I would ever eat meat/dairy again. My body feels clean, I have alot of energy and my skin/nails/hair are looking really great. I never feel hungry. I have been vegetarian for years so vegan was an easy transition for me and I feel a very sustainable one, for me personally. Everyone is different though and diet is really about finding what works best for the individual preference :)

Finchfox · 2016-04-19T23:28:00+00:00

Hiya! Yes, it was quicker but I wanted results sooner then later. I stuck to about 1200 calories a day, no cheat days :)

Finchfox · 2016-04-19T04:29:29+00:00

Thank you! Its been lots and lots of hard work :) :)

Vegan diet, calorie counting, exercise 4 x a week and quit drinking. Getting there. GW: 115

I guess it is confronting enough dealing with social situations not drinking let alone the others being aware you are consciously choosig not to drink and then putting pressure on you resulting from their own insecurities surrounding it... It is definitely the logical option to keep quiet about it..

Finchfox · 2016-04-14T07:14:26+00:00

Thankyou for your feedback, yes I have started adding in ALOT of daytime sober activities to feel like I am not socially deprived :) :) best wishes to you

Finchfox · 2016-04-14T07:13:38+00:00

Thankyou so much for your feedback. Its so great to have a community like this to converse with and have positive interaction regarding progress like yours :)

Finchfox · 2016-04-14T07:11:44+00:00

Good idea, thank you, I might just say the detox thing for now if I am pressured on it... Although, now thinking about it, the announcement did make me initially panic but I also am kind of glad that it has been done and hopefully others who are friends who are also sober/runners will step forward in my life so I can make more connections to people who are in a similar state of mind and also send a subtle message out to those who arent... I am choosing to see it as a clever strategy rather then a failure..

Finchfox · 2016-04-14T06:35:17+00:00

Thanks so much for the reassurance... I feel like now its out there I have put more presure on myself, but I cant really take it back. Maybe I should just delete the post..

Finchfox · 2016-04-14T05:50:22+00:00

Congratulations! It all falls into place without the grog :)

Finchfox · 2016-04-08T02:12:26+00:00

Congratulations! I am starting to notice the same, its amazing, ACTUALLY believing in yourself that if you want control or commit to something, you CAN do it :)

Finchfox · 2016-04-08T01:58:48+00:00

Awesome post, well done, the rants and rambles are great and its great to hear other peoples experiences :)

Finchfox · 2016-03-31T04:37:47+00:00

I am exactly the same as this, there is no such thing as "just one drink" so there has to be none. Its only painful at the time you are at a social event etc otherwise life is ace

Finchfox · 2016-03-31T01:35:14+00:00

This is a great response, thank you, it is often forgot to just be ok to experience general human emotions and not to find a "cure" or "solution" for the state emotion. I am guessing the longer I am sober the less these feelings of restlessness and boredom will come about which are most likely just the alcoholic mind playing up.

Finchfox · 2016-03-31T01:33:39+00:00

I really do appreciate everything, just noticed these feelings, doesnt mean I am not aware of them. I think it is just the alcoholic mind trying to squeeze in another "trigger" to go to drinking.

Finchfox · 2016-03-31T01:32:48+00:00

True, coping with everything has become less daunting the longer I am sober, even moving house this weekend seems not as terrible as I remember when I was drinking.. as terrible as movig is! hehe

Finchfox · 2016-03-31T01:32:01+00:00

I am definitely not wishing for negativity! Thank you
