I am so sick of Dry January. I want it to be over.
It’s not that I need to drink, or even that I want to get drunk. I just want to be able to have a cocktail at brunch or enjoy a glass of wine while making dinner.
Do you know what it really is? It’s the idea of deprivation. This is why I’ve never had luck with diets. As soon as there is something I cannot have, it’s all I want.
Also? I am craving soda really badly. Mostly I’m sticking to my fizzy waters, but I have indulged in that sugary goodness badness a few times this month, which is a lot more than usual.
Highlights:
- Still sleeping really well! Sleep score is up to 89, and my resting heart rate is down to 60.
- I’ve lost 10 lbs!
I am happy with the weight loss but other than that I am counting down the days until next Saturday. Is anyone else still sticking with this terrible experiment? 😉

I feel you. It is the same with pregnancy, the stigma about drinking while pregnant really prevents me having a proper beer, but also it is like I don’t care about getting DRUNK or buzzed, so it is easy to just be like “I guess I will just deal” But also there aren’t many good subs to the complexity of alcoholic drinks! First pregnancy I totally craved bitter hoppy beer, but there wasn’t anything on the market. Now there are hop teas, a kind-of hoppy seltzer and many many non-alcoholic beers to choose from. No bitter notes in soft drinks!
