Welcome to February! We love this time of year. It is the perfect month to keep enjoying early your morning outdoor workouts, long evening strolls, free flowing fashion, fresh seasonal salads, seasonal decluttering and new routines. February also brings us FebFast. Even if you haven’t registered for this inaugural fundraising event that encourages you to press ‘pause’ on drinking, you can still benefit from changing your Summer drinking habits, starting today!
If you answer ‘yes’ to any of the following statements, then we would highly recommend you consider embracing a month of modified drinking behaviour to improve your health and wellbeing, starting now!
Over the month of January:
- I have been drinking two or more standard drinks per day.
- I have not had more than two AFD’s (alcohol free days) per week.
- I have been drinking on an empty stomach.
- I have had a ‘binge’ (more than 4 standard drinks) more than once.
- I have been drinking spirits with soft drink (mixers).
- I have been making bad food choices when I drink.
- I have put on weight.
Our Top Tips To Cut Down On Grog This Feb…
- Abstain 100%
- Abstain mid-week, allowing yourself 2 standard glasses on the weekend.
- Fill a wine glass with sparkling water, add ice & squeeze in some fresh lemon or lime.
- Never drink on an empty stomach, only enjoy with a full meal.
- Order only a glass of wine when out, not a bottle to share.
- Do not open a bottle of wine at home.
- Add ice to your white wine or rose.
- Make a spritzer with your wine by adding mineral water.
- Use only mineral water as your ‘mixer’, adding a fresh lime for flavour. Or just add a nip of tonic.
- Be the designated driver.
- Commit to an early fitness sessions to avoid late night drinking.
- Know your social triggers and meet for a hit of tennis, a movie, brunch or at the beach with friends instead of drinks or dinner.
- Each week, buy a case of mineral water (we love our San Pellegrino – nice and bubbly & we love a glass bottle) and a bag of lemons and limes. You are now set for success!
