The monthly challenge for July is an exercise in self-control and discipline when it comes to our favourite tipple, it is, of course, DRY JULY. You might have heard or even taken part in the popular dry January challenge. This challenge, however, is much harder, it’s taking place over a part of summer where there are numerous occasions where we might want to drink, at weddings, parties, BBQs or a lazy Sunday afternoon. This is what makes it such a challenge.
Join us this July for Dry July, you’ll reduce your calorie intake and might even lose weight.
Ditch The Booze and Lose Weight! Are you In?
Drinking enough water every day and limiting other drinks is one of the most fundamental things we can do for weight management and staying healthy. It’s important to consume enough water to maintain a healthy water balance, your water input must equal your water output. I guess this is much like accounting, if the in’s and out’s don’t balance, there is something wrong. So as well as keeping DRY for July, we want you to stay hydrated, preferably with water, not cordial and defiantly not juice.

Reducing Calories
All drinks other than water will contain additional calories, additional to your requirement. We get out calorie requirement through the food we eat. Calories within drinks rarely have any nutritional value. Limiting additional drinks consumption can have a positive effect on your calorie balance.
The biggest contributor to additional calories in drinks is alcohol, alcohol contains many unnecessary calories. Breaking habit will help to reduce alcohol consumption, sure we all like a drink sometimes but most of the occasions we drink are due to habit. This includes statements and beliefs such as, “it’s Friday, I’ll have a drink” “it’s the weekend” these are behaviours instigated through habit.
Staying Hydrated
Most people are dehydrated nearly all the time, due to habit or lifestyle we often don’t intake as much fluid as we need, although we extract some of our fluid requirement through the food we eat (about 30%) we are still normally in a negative calorie balance by the end of the day. If you feel thirsty during the day, your body has triggered the stimulus to encourage you to drink, a sign that you’ve not had enough fluid. Just because you are not thirsty, does not mean you shouldn’t drink and hydrate. The thirst sensor is a warning signal, just like the water warning light on your car. If you drink enough during the day your body won’t need to stimulate you to drink, a healthy balance is achieved with a fluid loss equal to fluid intake.
Remember not to consume water in large quantities, it is best to drink little and often, have a water bottle that you sip throughout the day.
You need roughly 1 litre of water for every 1000 calories of expenditure, that’s about 2.5 litres for most people.
Fundraise and make a commitment to stay Dry this July.

Day 9 of Dry July (9th July)
Welcome to Day 9 of DryJuly! As you continue your alcohol-free journey, it’s important to recognize the positive impact your decision is having on your liver. Today, we focus on an encouraging fact: excess fatty deposits that can build up on your liver due to prolonged drinking are reversible with just two weeks of abstinence.
The liver is a resilient organ that plays a vital role in processing nutrients, detoxifying the body, and maintaining overall health.

By giving your liver a break from alcohol, even for just a few weeks, you’re allowing it to recover and reverse the fatty deposits that may have built up over time. This can restore your liver’s functionality and contribute to improved overall liver health.
On Day 9 of DryJuly, take a moment to appreciate the positive impact your alcohol-free journey is having on your liver. Your commitment to abstinence is giving your liver the opportunity to heal and restore itself. By prioritizing your health and well-being, you’re actively taking steps towards a healthier future.
As you continue on this path, remind yourself of the remarkable resilience of your body. Embrace the knowledge that your liver is on its way to regaining its optimal function, and let it serve as a motivating factor to stay strong and committed to your alcohol-free goals.
Cheers to Day 9 of DryJuly, where your liver is thanking you for the care and attention you’re giving it.

Day 13 of Dry July (13th July)
Welcome to Day 13 of DryJuly! Today, we delve into the power of routine and how it can help you overcome the habit of consuming alcohol. It’s a well-known fact that many alcohol consumption patterns are deeply rooted in habit. However, by making changes to your routine, you can break free from the automatic association and reduce the inclination to think about alcohol.
Habits are formed when our brains create strong neural pathways that link specific cues or triggers with certain behaviors. These cues can be environmental, emotional, or tied to specific activities. By disrupting these cues and altering your routine, you have the opportunity to reshape the associations that lead to the desire for alcohol.
So, on Day 13 of DryJuly, embrace the power of change and consider modifying your routine. Explore different activities, environments, and experiences that are unrelated to alcohol.

Consider engaging in activities that bring you joy, relaxation, or fulfillment. It could be anything from taking a walk in nature, pursuing a hobby or creative outlet, spending quality time with loved ones, or exploring new interests. By actively engaging in positive experiences, you divert your attention from alcohol and create new neural pathways that support your alcohol-free journey.
Remember, breaking free from alcohol-related habits is a process, and it takes time and effort. Be patient with yourself and embrace the opportunity to discover new routines that align with your goals and values. As you change your routine, you’ll likely find that you naturally think less about alcohol and become more immersed in the fulfilling experiences that life has to offer.
On Day 13 of DryJuly, empower yourself with the knowledge that you have the ability to shape your habits and overcome the pull of alcohol.

Day 15 of Dry July (15th July)
Welcome to Day 15 of DryJuly! Today, we delve into the power of self-reflection and challenge you to explore the reasons behind your desire for a drink. By asking yourself, “Why do I want a drink tonight?” you can uncover the role of habit in your decision-making process.
As human beings, we are creatures of habit. Our behaviors and choices are often driven by familiar patterns and routines. When it comes to alcohol consumption, it’s important to recognize the influence of habit on our desire for a drink.
On Day 15, take a moment to pause and reflect. Ask yourself why you want a drink tonight. Is it because it’s what you typically do during certain times, events, or situations? Recognizing the power of habit can be a catalyst for change and open up new possibilities for your alcohol-free journey.
By identifying the underlying reasons for your desire for a drink, you can consciously challenge those habits and explore alternative choices. Consider engaging in activities or rituals that bring you joy, relaxation, or fulfillment without the presence of alcohol. Embrace the opportunity to break free from the confines of habit and discover new ways to enjoy your evenings or socialize with others.
Remember, change takes time and effort. Breaking the cycle of habit requires conscious awareness, intention, and persistence. Be patient with yourself and embrace each step forward as an opportunity for growth and transformation.
On Day 15 of DryJuly, empower yourself with the knowledge that you have the ability to reshape your habits and redefine your relationship with alcohol. Challenge the “default” option and explore new possibilities. Your journey is unique, and by questioning the reasons behind your desire for a drink, you’re taking an active role in shaping your own path.
Cheers to Day 15, where self-reflection and the recognition of habit propel you towards a more mindful and intentional approach to alcohol consumption.
