I've always been an all around active person especially with running. One of my goals is to run a marathon and now that I have a bit more structure in my life, training a bit harder and racking up the mileage has been easier to fit in my schedule, confused why I'm not burning off the "travel calories" as fast as I thought, my boyfriend brought up a good point..
Alcohol has a TON of calories, especially in my drink of choice, which happens to be darker beers. It's not like I get drunk all the time, but I do frequent happy hour, go out once or twice a weekend and do love a beer during studying to bite the edge. I'm happy with my weight for the most part, but then I actually put thought into giving up alcohol, I was shocked that I really didn't think I could do it. There's Ahmanis birthday this weekend with the beer Olympics, Cinco De Mayo, happy hour Wednesday with David, happy hour Sundays with Neil, going out on the weekends, Canada in two weeks, lifty beers at the mountain, after midterms beers.. shitttt. Alcohol really is in my everyday life. Oh about next month? "But Claire, there will ALWAYS be something" -Ben, hmm you're right. Next month is end of school partys, friend graduation partys, beginning of summer, sun river with the crew, Alli's visit, Rylee and Caitlin's birthday's WOW. so..
It's funny to think that I could EASILY not get drunk for a month, but giving up my mirror pond at happy hour or a glass of red with the girls, is a challenge. On that note I have officially hit my mid-twenties in alcohol maturity, HAH! It's good to know I'm past my earlier college days of getting wasted every night and using fake ID's to go out to the oh so "cool bars". I know I can have fun without alcohol, could do with out the extra calories, more cash in my pocket and I love a little challenge. So I'm not drinking for 30 days (until my birthday May 30th), which ironically is going to be themed like a child's birthday party.. haha. Bring it!
