October is just around the corner.  And you know what that means: OKTOBERFEST! Alcohol! Alcohol! Alcohol!

But I will sit this one out. 

Yes, you read that right.  I am currently on an indefinite leave from alcoholandia. Nope, this has nothing to do with drama or being emo.  I just need to stop drinking alcohol, for the meantime. I don't really consider myself as an alcoholic since I only drink and get really drunk on weekends, but I gotta put a stop to drinking.

I noticed a pattern in the days following my excessive weekend drinking sprees: I always get sick.  TMI but I get either constipated or have diarrhea afterwards.  I'm no doctor but I believe these ailments do not have anything to do with the food that I take.  Not with the water as well. 

I have started my quest for an alcohol-free lifestyle (for the meantime lang to!, until I feel better) and I am planning to live an alcohol-free October. I will also try to cut down on my soda and substitute it with either water or fruit juices. And accomplish one of the things from my 25 before 25 list:  add more vegeteables to my "edibles" list.

Earlier today, I had sinigang for lunch and it was the first time that I ate ALL the veggies.  SOME veggies ain't so bad after all.  They just need a lot of getting used to.

SO here's to living a healthy lifestyle! (save for cigarettes... one at a time please. alcohol first. cigs will follow later.)

Wish me luck!
