More tea vicar...?

As many of you will know this month   is Sober October! With Christmas and its many
parties just around the corner  October is the perfect time to put down the wine
and pick up the water.  Giving up booze is an easy way to get rid of a whole
host of empty calories  and shed the pounds with little effort.

And the number of calories may surprise you as per 100ml beer contains 41 calories and wine 77 calories with 
spirits a whopping 250 calories. Bearing in mind that many men and women  drink
pints of beer and the fact that wine glass sizes have crept up from  125ml to
175ml and even 250ml is now given as standard, we’re adding a  shocking number
of unnecessary calories to already overburdened bodies!. I  remember when having
a bottle of wine was seen as a major treat. Now we drop  them into the shopping
trolley all too easily, but it’ll take more than a  walk around the supermarket
to walk off the damage! 

Think of the benefits…..It will  also help you to get a more restful sleep and we all
know how important our  beauty sleep is! Who doesn't want clearer skin?  Swap your wine for a sparkling water and a  slice (or even two if you really want to push the boat out!) of lemon or 
lime! Or at home go for your favourite herbal or fruit tea and if you don't 
have a favourite then get experimenting! If you are really going for it then 
why not try a detox tea to help cleanse the body and give you beautiful  glowing
skin. Get your friends and family in on the act too as the best way  to stick at
it is to do it as a group. To get the most out of your October  challenge why
not swap chatting over tea and biscuits for going for a walk  with your best
friend? Wrap up warm and head out on a lovely autumnal day and  crunch through
the leaves.

  Not only will you shed pounds this month you will also save
them. So why not  treat yourself to a facial or dinner out with your friends at
the end of the  month to celebrate your achievement!
