Alcohol And Fitness

Hello Maniacs,

I can’t stop laughing at the quote.  Red or White?!!!!  I would choose white by the way.

I often talk about alcohol, my journey, wine, the battles I face daily, gin and tonic, my training schedule, whiskey…….. 

I have included a paragraph from MY STORY.  I was a drinker…  A BIG drinker.  I never missed an opportunity to have a drink.  I was the life and soul of every party.  First to arrive and last to leave.  Everyone wanted me at their parties because I was a good time just waiting to happen. Yip, I even danced on tables – thankfully I am a brilliant dancer.

Then I changed, I never believed change was possible.  It did not happen quickly; it was a process. It was my journey, a journey that I pray never ends.  You have to want to change, because change is hard.  Once I had made the decision to change my lifestyle it was clear to me what I had to do.

From My Story…….

“I also stopped drinking 3 bottles of wine every time I went out for dinner or to a party – Like I said earlier I was the life and soul of every party. …. alcohol is known as empty calories.  One glass of wine is equivalent to eating 3 baked potatoes.  So I must have eaten the equivalent of a pocket of potatoes every time I went out. I now happily enjoy 2 – 3 spritzers. 

When we consume alcohol our body stops burning fat and there is immense pressure put on our organs while our body tries to expel the alcohol from our body.”
