I've had this blog for over 4 years now, and it's taken me that long to tackle this month's experiment. Some of my readers may not even know that my blog started as a series of one-month lifestyle challenges. Each month I dabbled in a new goal. These experiments give me a reason to research and experience first-hand different ways of living. Here's the summary:
Month One: Vegetarianism
Month Two: Shopping-Free
Month Three: Caffeine-Free
Month Four: No High Heels
Month Five: Gluten-free
Month Six: Pants-Free
Month Seven: Cell phone-Free
Month Eight: Blog-Free
Month Nine: All Things Ayurveda
Month Ten: Chi Running
Month Eleven: Finding Free
And now finally, Month Twelve: Alcohol Free. I'm not sure why it took me this long to be willing to give up alcohol for 30 days. It just always seemed like the wrong time. I always have a wedding coming up, a holiday coming up, a birthday coming up, whatever. These excuses have now taken the back seat because I recently started taking an anti-inflammatory for my knee that is really tough on the liver and kidneys. Now I finally have a good reason to not drink. Combining alcohol with this medication would be dangerous for my body and overall health. I have a feeling that some interesting insights will come up this month. Bring it on!
I've been there girl, four whole months when Ironman training. But you know what. It wasn't that hard. Drink soda and lime from a goblet and it's almost like the real thing. Almost. Kudos to you and hope your knee feels better. xo
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a good plan, D! Anything bubbly still feels pretty festive. Hope you're doing awesome!
