    LOVE grilling...and yes I do require something refreshing while doing so....preferable with booze :wink:

    Busy weekend, but good. I was DD saturday night, so I had a few Coronas at my nephews party. Sunday we had a baptism, my in laws drove, had some white wine and more when we got home. Yesterday I was dragging.

    Actually managed a zero yesterday :huh: Feeling good today. Gonna get in some yoga tonight.

    Happy tuesday!!!

    I opened a bottle of pinot gris last night and only had two glasses. It was great with the salad. tonight is Doug grilling brats and ears of corn. I would exist on fresh grilled corn on the cob all summer if I could. I love it. I will probably finish my wine and maybe have a Newcastle with the brats. It is supposed to be over 80 again today.

    I was so-so over the weekend. Friday we didn't finish the liter bottle of wine I bought. We did walk up and have a beer before dinner. Was too sleepy after we ate a late dinner to drink much more. Saturday I probably had a bottle of wine, a couple beers and a glass of red. I was kinda drunk but remember everything. Sunday I had a beer at lunch and one at the baseball game. Yesterday I played in a golf scramble and drank 5 16oz Miller lites. I think it was 5..... Domestic beer is so weird. If I drank the equivalent in wine to 6 beers, I'd have been tanked. I had a period where I was kind of buzzed, but by the time I ate and it was time to go, I was basically sober. I did eat way too much bad for me food over the weekend. Topped it off with all that beer and I was feeling icky this morning. Feeling a bit better now, but I really need a good sweat.

    Maybe tonight, or if I am low on cals I might have some wine-while I watch the season finale of Married at First Site-will the couple choose to stay together or get a divorce? can't wait to find out!

    I finished my bottle of wine so 2.5 more glasses. but that was all. Pretty good for this old lush. Our decking was delivered yesterday (finally) so we know what I will be working on this weekend.

    Kate, I was just thinking that this morning. The warm weather and deck hanging out are making me drink! I'm averaging about 2 drinks a night during the week. Yesterday I was off, I took the kids to the pool and grilled steaks for dinner. There was no way out of drinking some cold rose'. I had 2 cocktails Tuesday and 3 glasses of wine last night. Maybe a 0 tonight? Or I may grab a bottle of Kettle One and have a martini or 2.

    Same here! Grilled last night and drank wine. I'm going for a 0 tonight though. I'm up 2 lbs :(

    Last night my friend called and needed a happy hour so I had 3 beers. Tuesday I was watching the finale of Married at First Site and had the 7 oz of wine my cals allowed, is that 2 glasses? 1.5? it easily fit in the glass :p
    Sunday=3
    Monday=0
    Tuesday=1.5
    Wednesday=3

    Tonight I will not have any calories left over to drink...

    My pours are typically 5-6 ounces. Which is why if I drink a bottle, I had 4 glasses. :drinker:

    2 dirty martinis last night. I stopped for a bottle of Kettle One and no wine. I win! I'll probably stop for the big bottle of Austrian wine on the way home again. We're taking the kids to a friend's for dinner and baby pool but have tons to do tomorrow so I need to behave. So no 0's for me this week. But no more than 2 either, so I say that's good.

    Tuesday-3 grape vodkas
    Wednesday-2 margaritas
    Thursday-8oz Bourbon County Vanilla Rye Stout (YUMMY), 3 smurfette on the rag (blueberry vodka, lemonade and a splash of cranberry)
    Tonight, I am sure there will be drinks.
    Tomorrow, we have a grad party and the In laws are driving...WOOHOO!!!! Although I shouldn't drink too much because we are brewing Sunday...we shall see!!!!

    Oh I lied. I forgot I had 3 glasses of wine Wednesday. And 5 (domestic) beers on the golf course. So I never got drunk during the week. Yay!

    SoCalWoman Posts: 2,384 Member
    LOL at smurfette on the rag. sounds yummy!
    I was exhausted yesterday...so I managed a 0 but didn't exercise. I've got to get in a workout today....and move past the shoulder pain. I know it will make me feel better.
    Drinks tonight. Binging on shows including OITNB. The plan is to workout everyday and drink within my calories.
    TGIF lushes! :drinker:

    Syd, I need to jump on board with you......I can't keep going like I am....I feel like I've gained 5 lbs in the last 3 wks.....damn MIL and all her delicious snacks :wink: If I can counteract the food/booze with exercise I'd feel a lot better!!!!

    Hi Lushes. Last night was 2.5 glasses. 5oz pours and a bottle has 25oz so I drank half the bottle. Not bad since I drank a whole bottle the night before. This weekend is demoing the deck and rebuilding with Trex Enhance ULM (ultra low maintenance) I am sure I will have cider or Newcastle or blue moon while working outside. Have a great weekend!

    Smurfette drink does sound good, at first I thought it would be something blue, which I do not like (blue curacao), but blueberry vodka and cranberry would be good. The "Colorado Greyhound" I had Sunday was ruby red vodka with club soda.
    Last night I got a 0, thanks to my husband. I had enough calories for a glass of wine but I asked if he wanted any and he said he was trying not to drink last night so I didn't either.
    Sunday=3
    Monday=0
    Tuesday=1.5
    Wednesday=3
    Thursday=0
    Friday
    My husband is emceeing both shows tonight and I am going because the headliner is Jen Kirkman and I think she is funny. I will probably have 4 drinks, maybe 5 if we go out after...

    I love Jen Kirkman...enjoy!
    Vodka/d-squirt with a splash of blood orange lemonade is my new drink.

    Oh yes, on my 2nd glass of red wine, first time I've had alcohol in ages. I'm sure I'll pay in the morning, alcohol seems to make me feel so rough now, but for right now it seems a good idea, so I'm nearly a legitimate lush again!
    I've hit a bit of a blip with my motivation 16 weeks or so post spinal surgery and 4 weeks post shoulder surgery I am soooo fed up with how my fitness has nosedived and what a long and slow road back it will be. At least though I think this is pretty much the lowest point so the only way is up and every baby step I can make is in the right direction.

    I'm with you Kate. I am shooting for 0's this week. Along with some more exercise. At the very least only drinking if it fits in my calories.
    Sat-0
    Sun-bottle of wine drank throughout the day.

    Headed to the beach today but still going to try for a 0.

    I drank a bottle of wine, a beer, and cocktail Friday. I was drunkish. Saturday had most of a tall guy Budweiser at my daughter's friend's birthday party, 2 beers at a graduation party, then some watermelon margaritas at home (made from fresh watermelon), then a couple glasses of wine and another cocktail. It was spread out over about 10 hours so I wasn't too bad off. I had 2 beers yesterday that made me more full than anything. I was thinking that I may try to abstain some this week, but I have a couple really long days and a pretty stressful work week up ahead which usually calls for cocktails. I'll dry out some when I get back from vacation.

    Going to jump on the zeros bandwagon with the rest of you. Trying for two to three this week.
