Blacking out from drinking on a monday night = Wake up call

[KiwiChick]

Hi Im yet another newby here - Im 27 yr Female from New Zealand but currently in California.

Im 5'3 and about 125 lb (down from 138 so heading the right direction). I don't have a goal weight I would rather get nice and tonned and reduce my body fat content.

I woke up on Tuesday morning, fully clothed on the couch with no memory of how I got there, my last memory being drinking wine about 9pm monday night. mmmmm not good, real wake up call to get back to the old healthy me! I used to do half ironman trialthons and be super strong fit, and lean. Injury ment I kinda turned into a sad slob on antidepressants, but not any more - my lifestyle is about to improve.

I have always been keen on the paleo lifestyle (im already gluten free and adore meat and healthy fats), but traveling has ment I dont have access to good fresh food - gosh america has so much hidden sugar and salt in everything! So over corn tortillas! So I plan to adopt a bit more of the paleo diet and cut back on the drinking! Today I restocked the cubbord and did some yoga on the lawn in the sun so Im feeling good

Just wanted to say hi and I look forward to being a member of this super cool community. Im still thinking about my short and long term goals at the moment, I have an idea of the person I want to be, Im just not sure how to articulate that into goals yet!

xoxo Kiwi

Welcome! I'm looking forward to seeing your goals. I'm glad you had a wakeup call that was more scary/unsettling than a serious medical issue. Feel free to ask any questions and it's good to see you here!

Good that you're awake. We could always use more rebels to fight against the norm. Glad you're with us!
