It's a new one but decided to join in. But the weekend I've had, sod it. I'll try dry January.

We applaud your pathetic and completely predictable capitulation.

I started after my Alpes cycling trip, first week of September.

I want to improve my cycling and one of the ways to do it is to shed some weight, giving up alcohol seems a pretty easy win, so I did that.

I'm going to try & push though until the end of the year.

The only thing I am really missing is wine with a nice meal, and you also realise how much of a social lubricant it is.

I did it last year, no problem. However, I did only hear about it on the 29th, but still, better late than never. smile
