I have decided to have a Dry July. Although I fudged a bit when Reema came over, and really fudged this last Saturday, I am back on the program.
What are the reasons behind this? It's getting to be time that I can no longer blame my baby for my weight. If I have it now, it's mine, not hers. Drinking is expensive. Even my bargain bottles, 1.5 liter bottles and dare I say box wines were adding up. I can't live in the red just for a nicely-chilled white. I am also doing it for my daughter. Taking care of myself has never been more important. Being an older mom, I want to be sure that I am alive and kicking to see my grand-babies. And, well, when one is never enough, it's time to call it quits.
So, here's to ya on this Bastille day. Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité... Sanité.
My obsessions with food and France have led me to this. It's not my fault.

And so I've been walking lots and doing Atkins but I still haven't given up the wine!! I NEED to!! Thank you for giving me the encouragement to do so!!! Hope you are well!! Loving your blog!!!
