One Year No Beer Challenge

It’s day one of the Reset and Realign One Year No Beer challenge. My exercise today is to write down all the reasons that I am taking the challenge and to put them somewhere easy to refer to so what better place than on a public blog so I can be held to account by anyone reading it! So here are my reasons why!

  • After losing so much weight and getting healthier and fitter in 2024, I don’t want to ruin all the good work that I’ve done. If I drink alcohol, even if it’s just one or two nights a week which has become the norm, it slows down my progress and stops me wanting to embrace all the healthy habits that I’ve formed.
  • I need to be on the top of my game this year as I am applying for voluntary redundancy and need to find a new career.
  • I love running with my dogs and I just don’t feel like it when I’ve had a drink the night before.

Overnight oats cheat

I forgot to make my overnight oats last night but really fancied some this morning. So, I just covered the oats in boiling water to soften them and left them to cool while I blended the kefir with fruit and prepped the fruit to go on top! Voila! You wouldn’t know they hadn’t been prepared last night!
