No I don't drink

I don't drink alcohol.

I haven't in over 9 years.
My last sip was on my wedding day..I had champagne with my new hubs!

I don't drink because wayyy back when I started running..I began to notice that if I drank the night before it totally affected the way I ran the next day. So I started to really curtail any alcohol. Maybe 1-2 drinks a month.

When I met Brad we both tried to act "cool" with each other thinking that that the other was a partier...so we drank the first month or so when we started dating. 
But now he doesn't drink either. 
He has had two beers in 9 years. 

Plus I found out how many calories drinking really has. 

1 bottle of beer 100-150 calories
1 glass of wine (4 ounces) 100 calories
Margarita (3.5 ounces) 155 calories..plus tons of sugar!

I would much rather eat than drink my calories. 
I like to feel great everyday. 
I hate hangovers. 
And I like to be uber fit! 

Here's a challenge for you...weigh yourself today...stop drinking any alcohol for one week...drink 100 ounces of water daily...weigh yourself after the week. Bet your down a few. 

Now what if you did that for a month? Six? A year? Try it! 

Let me know how it goes!

If I can do it you can do it!
