This is a long story. The short version is:
I once weighed 150kgs. I drank, a lot. Wine. White or red. Mostly white. But let's face it, mostly ATE! Loved food!
I had gastric sleeve, lost the weight, cut back drinking. Then slowly started drinking again. I blame (well not really) Covid and being on maternity leave. It was one huge holiday for me.
Ended up back to 107kgs in 2024, went on Wegovy (another story) and now sitting at a comfortable and happy 80kgs. Goal weight is 75 and I know I will get there.
But.... the drinking has crept up again. To a point I don't like. I don't get drunk every night, but I do drink wine every day. Sometimes a bottle. By definition, an alcoholic. Although I don't feel addicted. I could go without. I just choose not to. I like it.
So today, I decided to take control. Tony (husband) just took a job where he'll finally be home every night. That means a little bit of freedom for me. So I decided to finally join the gym! I've joined Jetts and it's 24/7 so no excuse.
Can't wait to get started and start building some strength, particularly in my knees! And because I need to drive there - less drinking!
Let's see how this goes. I will expand on all of the above at another time.
