12 days done, and coincidentally I've also just finished a 12 mile walk
I feel dead. Went out with my 10 year old for a 3 mile walk around our local nature reserve. I ended up taking a detour, but my battery died on my phone so I had no map. I got lost (note to self: invest in a paper map). My feet also have 2 huge blisters. But we both enjoyed it a lot. It was time together, just us two.
My son doesn't seem affected by the walk lmao and is sat on our master system playing sonic. I'd love to be a kid again.
Lying in bed now with a bottle of diet cola and my laptop. Time to put my feet up for the rest of the day because they're a bit sore. I burned off around 2000 calories which goes towards my goal to lose 2 stone.
And 12 days no drinking! I almost convinced myself a quarter of vodka would be fine. Excitement and happiness seems to make me want to drink. But I convinced myself that I just did a walk I could never have done while drinking. That was enough to shake my craving.
Rock on!

Yay! Congrats on 12 days. I'm one day behind ya. Gosh I love long walks. I have no-one to hike with currently though. Have to wait for the weekend to go with the SO.
Congrats on surfing that urge! If you had got the vodka you'd feel like crap tomorrow. I'm the same way though. A good day of hiking always ended with pizza and beers at our favorite place. I'll have to work on finding a different treat or a new way of thinking about it.
