I would like to drink less. After having children, I started to drink most evenings. Never more then half a bottle. But this is usually 5-6 nights a week. I have started to cut back to 4 nights a week and I am now trying to do just 3 nights a week. I rarely ever go out, so drinking never is more then 2 large glasses or 3 small ones. However, I feel like its such a bad habit and worry that it could eventually increase. So I am cutting back. I am slim, get regular work outs, walk everywhere. So at least that is a positive in the right direction.
Today, I felt a little grumpy in the evening. Its almost like, what do I have to look forward to? I love having a nice glass of wine while I cook or while I relax. I tried tea...but that didn't feel as nice. What else could I do? I do love a nice bath. But I have already had one today after my work out. What else is there that could be come a nice evening ritual to relax. I don't like hot chocolate or sweets much, nor do I want to switch one bad habit for another. Anyone else have some other nice ideas on what they do?
Top of my list would be bath. I LOVE baths. But I usually have one every day anyway, so I need something else. I am starting to get back into my gym routine and that is something I enjoy. But need something for evenings as well. Gym is morning.
