The Sober Teatotaler!

I just looked up some words to describe "sobriety" and teetotaler popped up first!!  Funnily, this word has come into view a few times so this is what I'm calling my blog!! THE SOBER TEATOTALER!!

I had my last drink on August 22, 2025, so I'm heading towards 10 months and getting close to a year without alcohol!  This has been a very long journey with spells of not consuming at all to completely over doing it!  I'm actually pretty bowled over that I'm doing this!!

Luckily, I found an internet site called "Women for Sobriety" (WFS) and it's been my lifeline.  I originally joined WFS back in 2021, when I managed to maintain sobriety for 6 months.  I fell completely off the wagon until last August when I decided, enough is enough!

I'll talk more about my relationship with WFS in my next post but I wanted to introduce you to my new blog, one which I feel very strongly about and hope I can help some other people out with their sobriety journey.  Stay tuned my sober friends!! xxx

The Bohemian Keto Lifestyle

In late August, 2017 I began to prepare for a "sugar free" September.  This was huge because I love sweet stuff.  As well, I made a commitment  to go low carbohydrate again.  I'd quit the white pasta, rice and flour about a year ago but fell off the wagon.  During the time I didn't consume all of those carbs I had lost some weight and felt good but unfortunately didn't stick with it.

This time, I've managed to stay on course, with a small deviation at Christmas.  I have healed the inflammation that was starting in my Achilles heel, lost inches and gained energy. 

I practice Intermittent Fasting which means I don't eat from 7:00 p.m. until 11:00 a.m the next day.  I know the experts say we should never miss breakfast.  The three days I get up really early to work, I eat breakfast.  The other four days I do the fasting.  This works for me because I am not a breakfast person.  I just don't feel hungry.  On the topic of hunger, this Way of Eating works.  Once you get over the craving for sugar and carbohydrates you really don't feel that hunger.  It's very interesting. 

There's lots of information in regard to Keto diets and Low Carb eating plans.  If you are so inclined, check out Diet Doctor that has free information and you can pay to subscribe.  My favorite cook book writer is Maria Emmerich.

This is a lifestyle change for me.  I sabotage myself when it comes to scales so I don't weigh myself.  I just go by how my clothes fit.  #keto
