Downsize Me...Does no alcohol = less weight?

I'm feeling a bit Morgan Spurlock here,... in my previous blog I committed to no alcohol for the next 3 months, so I thought I'd keep a journal to notice how my body, thoughts & life changes over the next 3 months.

As it's changing to Autumn here, it's probably a really good time to go within and reflect and make subtle changes

So far it's been easy and I've also been eating a more vegetarian-friendly diet (I'm an ex-vegetarian).   Hopefully this will also help to reduce my quite high cholesterol, as apart from alcohol there's not a lot that I consume that I feel would have such a dramatic impact. 

I've been reading some interesting blogs about nutrition and vegetarianism & I'm feeling quite inspired.
(see Michael's 30 Day Vegan trial).

Not drinking could make me a bit of a social outcast, but we'll see.

Anyway, that's it for now 

Peace, love & mung beans

You're looking really good, buddy!  I'm on a bit of a health kick these days myself but I can't kick my beer and wine habit, so more power to you.  Don't worry, you won't be an outcast on the social scene.  Drinkers need responsible, sober people all of the time (I should know, ha-ha!)

Namaste
Thea

P.S.
What's a mung bean?
