So, here we are at the end of another Dry July.
Now, I’m no wowser, but I am a coach – and I’m just here to give you the facts so you can make your own decisions about your body.
Many of you will be fist pumping and looking forward to your first drink after #winning Dry July by lasting the whole month. Other folk will be contemplating and deciding if drinking is really all it’ s cracked up to be.
Most ‘standard drinks’ are between 75 – 85calories (175ml beer/100ml wine/double nip spirit) But a standard drink in the privacy of our homes is far in excess of that and it’s not uncommon for that volume to be a normal evening practice.
Now, let’s add some mixers and perhaps go on a drinking binge, we’ll add snacks and post drinking food binges to really stack up the calories along with undoing all the great biochemical changes in our body from Dry July.
Contrary to what you think, your body will not hold its changes when you go back to your old habits.
Let’s also spare a thought for our charity; supporting those living with Cancer. Why not consider our own eating and drinking habits to minimize the risk factors in our own body also?
I’ll leave you with a couple of things to think about:
1. What do you really want from your body?
2. Did you start getting it during Dry July?
3. Do you want to continue getting it?
4. What do you need to keep doing, to keep getting the same results?
Now, we’re not here to bank up Weight Watchers points, but I prefer to save my alcohol consumption for special occasions, and yeah, I get pissed too – don’t you worry about that! There’s no such thing as a ‘healthy drink’ – the health lies in the reasons for the drinking and the consumption.
If you want to know how to balance it all out – getting healthy, losing weight and still enjoying what you want – get in touch. You’ve built up momentum during Dry July and I’d hate to see all that go to waste.
