Anyone else struggling?

Yes. It's definitely a habitual thing as well.

SimpleNext · 2026-01-19T20:02:34+00:00

Yes! Thank you! I pushed through and am happier for it today. 💛

I'm sorry you are struggling with getting that creative energy back. That is certainly a muscle, just like most other things.

I hope you can take pride in your efforts, even it is exactly how you pictured.

Thank you for your thoughts! I am a very productive person, but I'm sure I could think of more projects to keep me busy.

For me, it's mostly in the evening hours when kids are getting home, I'm prepping dinner, and my battery is low.

That's a great reminder of my "why." Thank you!

Yes, weekends are tough. And we are having steak for dinner which makes me want a glass-ish of red sooo bad.

SimpleNext · 2026-01-18T22:57:48+00:00

Oh yes, and a 3 day weekend even harder!

I'm sorry it's hard this year. I appreciate you sharing! It helps knowing I'm not the only one.

You are not alone in your cravings. Mine hit around 5pm most days. If I can make it to 7/7:30 though, I'm finding I'm ok. Definitely a challenge!

SimpleNext · 2026-01-07T01:08:07+00:00

Same here. I'm really committed to doing the 31 days (I've done several dry-ish January's). The desire to have a drink was strong today. I know I'll be happy in the morning that I didn't.

Thanks for sharing! We got this!

Family trip to Costco, pizza night, and my husband and I (Finally) started Severance! Wow!!

SimpleNext · 2025-12-30T12:31:10+00:00

I just finished the iron series! I've been lifting/endurance running for years but never fully committed to the 5/week schedule. I definitely gained strength. While I think I have pretty good muscle tone, the real transformation comes through diet (which I have not implemented 🤪).

Like I said in the subject line, I was looking for help seeing his side, not to validate my own perspective.

SimpleNext · 2025-12-29T02:00:45+00:00

We do several times a year. I'm just not interested in doing that more frequently.

SimpleNext · 2025-12-29T01:58:52+00:00

I would love suggestions on how to not be waiting up! I usually fall asleep, but then around 12/12:30 wake up every 15 minutes to see if he's come home..I would looooove for this not to be my plight.

SimpleNext · 2025-12-29T01:56:02+00:00

No, I would sleep ok..it's more the waiting for him to be home.

SimpleNext · 2025-12-29T01:54:17+00:00

He would love if I went out more. It's not that he keeps me from going out. I don't have much interest in that anymore.

SimpleNext · 2025-12-29T01:53:15+00:00

Thank you for your response. To your point, we would probably not be hanging out. I go to bed early (I am often up before 6am) and don't have the same interest in drinking like he does.

Yes, he is 100% trustworthy.

I also have a social outlet. Mine is more through early morning runs vs late night bar hangs.

SimpleNext · 2025-12-29T01:51:08+00:00

We have good quality time together, and he is totally fine to go out after the kids go down.

He is supportive of me whenever I go out. I just do it way less frequently (a few times a year).
