One week down, only….ah, heck. Who cares?! Going beer free is HARD! But I’m sure it will get easier as time goes on…

Thanks to me and my big mouth the other week, I decided the best way to tame my Buddha Belly was to give up beer. At least until Christmas. So imagine my surprise when Shawn, Chad, Karl, and Tom all decided they’d try it, too! How’s it going so far, guys??

I did some serious manual labour on Saturday and, as you can see from the picture, my fellow labourers rewarded themselves with a cold one. Can you guess which hand is mine? That happened as we helped a friend move to a new house.

Then on Sunday I was back at the hockey rink after spending the afternoon in the blazing sun. What goes better with hockey than beer??

Of course, the weather was so nice all weekend it just begged for a beer on the patio. But I resisted and, to be honest, I’m more determined now than ever to carry this through until Christmas without a single cheat day. Only 106 days to go!

Which also means 106 more days to figure out a way to work some regular exercise into my day. Because more than beer, it’s the sitting around and talking for a living that’s really killing me. But let’s just take this one step at a time…

How are the rest of our #BeerFreeFor115 competitors doing? Feel free to send pictures and post updates!
