    Well, yesterday I had a break down...2 beers out to dinner and 3 at home...warm beautiful night hanging out in the hot tub with the family and WAM!!!

    So, I will definitely have to be good the upcoming days. Goal is to stay under double digits. So sad, the week is not even near over. At least, I refrained Monday and Tuesday.

    Katie, glad you enjoyed your malbec

    Alison, have fun on your night out!!!

    Good luck everyone!!!

    Well, all bets are off this weekend! It's the 4th, so I've taken off Friday and have company holiday Monday, and it's also my very first ever 1-year anniversary with my boyfriend!! There's wine chilling in my fridge, beer in his, plus a variety of hard alcohol between our apartments' cabinets. The only limiting factors this weekend will be (1) time, as he has to work some of the weekend (he works on a tourist train in the mountains, and they're doing a fireworks display that passengers get to watch while the train is parked on top of the bridge; he's trying to get me comp tix :wink: ) and (2) money, specifically at the symphony we're (hopefully) catching on Monday at Red Rocks Amphitheater. Free admission and you can bring in stuff, but not alcohol. I'm sure they want to overcharge me for a nice glass of wine, so I might just refrain during the symphony. I am broker than dirt. :frown:

    GOD BLESS AMERICA, I AM GOING TO BE DRUNK THIS WEEKEND!! :drinker:

    Um, I know I shouldn't encourage you....but, you could always pack some vodka/lemonade which is easily indistinguishable...spoken from a true alki

    Anybody else, have any tricks??

    Oh, I know the tricks (I went to CU-Boulder after all!) but so do they! Drinks must be factory-sealed, or you can bring an EMPTY water bottle and fill it inside.

    I find it so much harder when there is alcohol in the house. Currently there's a couple of cold beers in the fridge left from the weekend and it's hard to resist a cold beer when you come in hot and tired after a long day.

    Ditto!!! If it's in the house, I will guzzle it up

    Now I'd love to say I'm not drinking until friday too... however my in laws arrive Wednesday morning... which means wine... wine.. oh yes and more wine. Thursday we're also going to Summerfest


    You had me at in-laws.

    Please! My father-in-law has MOVED IN!!! His house purchase has stalled. He is a lovely man but he does not stop talking about TOTAL CRAP. My husband has conveniently disappeared on a tennis tour....hmmmm
    Yesterday over dinner my father in law read me out the dimensions of every storage facility he could rent and then read the entire history from the storage company's website. At breakfast (he's up at 6am so I cant even have an early breakfast) he gave me a lecture on the history of brass bands...my little girl is only 8 and I swear I could see her gaze shifting to the wine..I want to cry..and drink...A LOT...so

    Tonight...cocktails..many cocktails

    One of the great things about getting divorced is losing the in laws :smile: well that and having the bed to yourself, I'm an unsociable thing, I love to be able to stretch out, or roll over and find a cool spot :bigsmile:


    I would agree with that one except that I actually like my MIL better than the EX. We have maintained a relationship (long distance though) and let him go to the crapper.... It is all good either way...

    Sorry for my absence everyone.

    I know I mentioned this before, but I am going to start a new message thread called Like Minded Lushes - July 2010. That way everyone can sort of check back in and actually define what their goals are. It will be easier to go back to the first page of that board and find them than read through all of this.


    SO......... FOLLOW ME!!!! :drinker: :drinker:

    Hi guys! I haven't been online lately so I'm behind on the posts. Somebody else may have already posted a link to this study, but I thought it was relevant for our group. Apparently this study shows that if you're trying to lose weight it doesn't matter what type of calories you consume. What matters is HOW MANY calories you consume. So, in our case, it makes no difference (in terms of weight loss) whether you consume 200 calories of grilled chicken breast or 200 calories of alcohol.

    Of course, we all know a balanced diet is in our best interest in terms of good health. But if we're strictly looking at weight loss, it won't hurt us to use our calories for alcohol. (According to this study)

    I'm having a beer to celebrate!

    The link to the study is here: http://health.yahoo.net/experts/weightloss/diet-type-or-calories-lost-whats-best-weight-loss
