| PP w/ ED past. I am under treatment for osteoporosis and so under my physical therapist’s advice, now wear a weighted vest for my daily power walks. I’m a former runner who had to give it up after repeated injuries and a break and instead am out there tearing up the trails and tracks! Loving the vest and feel like it’s improving my cardio fitness and helping my core strength and bones. |

| Only committed to Dry Jan. My husband and I are doing this together so it’s pretty easy. Not a huge drinker but ramped up in Nov & Dec so the break is welcome. |

| I’ve done a 10 minute Pilates routine everyday so far! Not a big thing but I’m hoping to build up my activity level as the year goes on. |

Congrats and keep it up! 2 lbs a week is a lot. |

Well, I was going to do no sugar in January, but then I took a gummy last night and that went out the door…
Recommitting today! |

| My teenagers are committed to no fast food or takeout for the month of January. I am cooking for them, with their help. We have a meals planned for the first 2 weeks, and they've responded positively. |

What did you get out of dry January last year? I’m trying it this year, so far so good but going to a party tonight so it will be harder. |

Also doing Dry January, plus making healthier food choices, tracking what I'm eating, and ramping up the exercise. We have a Peloton that I use 5 days/week consistently but I've been choosing easier classes and not pushing myself. I'm feeling pretty good - it feels like a great reset so far. |

| Pp, could you please link a vest that you wear? |

I’ve looked at these before but can’t decide what weight to get! |

| I got some bad blood readings and other readings in December, so I really have gone cold turkey on salt, wheat, and calories. Even during Christmas. I'm down ten pounds already and my BP is a bit lower. |

First, it was harder than it should have been, which was a red flag. Second, I truly felt much better after about a week without wine -- better sleep, better mornings, better attitude. Third, my annual bloodwork two months later (March) was PERFECT. Not true the year before. I also managed to reduce my consumption for several months after DJ. Then we went on vacation, and to a 4-day wedding, and to the beach and I was back to nightly wine. Then the holidays and fuggedaboudit. Time for another annual reset. |

I hear you, I had an easyish few days but tonight was hard. I think I had a lot of cortisol from the kidnapped baby in Georgetown story and then I had a lot more sugar cravings. Drank some water, ate a hard boiled egg and went for a short walk to distract myself. Cleared the house of junk the other day but wanted to order out tonight. Stay strong! |

I have been mostly carnivore for the past 19 months but did a little cheating over the holidays. Had my last dinner on New Years Day and have been fasting since. Over 100 hours and I feel great! Shooting for 14 days and then super clean eating to maximize the benefits of extended fasting.
Doing a cold plunge in a local river today too! 2024 is my year for great health! |
