Well, it's been some time now since I decided to stop my rum chugging. I should update my 'I quit' blog to 'I'm changing my habits'. I no longer drink rum every night and in fact, I don't even drink on the weekends now. Do i miss it? Nope. I realized that never drinking again really isn't what I wanted to achieve....ex: pizza place with hubby, share a pitcher of beer. (I really just wanted the pizza and drank 3 glasses of water also) and I only had 2 glasses of beer and started to feel 'tipsy'! But I will admit, the beer tasted pretty darn good, and I have to think that's because I haven't been drinking lately. I'm feeling better, no hangovers, I don't sleep too late, I don't over eat at night, we are saving LOTS of $$$....I'm feeling this is a definite win/win. I'm realizing it was just a habit. Probably something I really didn't enjoy THAT much. I much prefer my ice water.
*edited* to add that I'm totally LOLing at my title of this blog and the giant pitcher of beer next to it LOL.
Wow, that is awesome. Rum is my drink of choice. Obviously, hence my blog name. I don't drink all the time, but I don't know if I could quit like you. Great job. You should be very proud of yourself.
ReplyDeleteGood job, Lori. I love the new look of your blog...but that picture just makes me want a beer!! lol
ReplyDeletethanks Amy and Bacardi Mama :) I really really enjoy the taste of rum, but mostly in a fruity, blended drink versus the rum and diet beverage. So it wasn't really too difficult to give up the daily drink. I would never drink a daquiri everyday because then eventually I wouldn't fit through the front door lol.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, ty for the pats on the back.
Wow! Who knew? Very pretty new design and I love your tag line.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you're blogging and that you've changed some habits that you weren't happy with. Good job!
thanks, Mom...it makes me happy too :)
