    Ashley...I don't really pay too much attention, sadly, to what I spend on booze. I have to say most of it comes form Costco and it is usually reasonably priced.

    Thursday-0....if I succeed this evening, it will mark 5 weeks of no drinks Monday-Thursday...I'm pretty impressed considering 2 1/2-3mths I was drinking every day, so....yeah, YAY me :laugh:

    Yea I'm still drinking daily and not losing weight, go figure :/

    But, I love the Truly waters. They are about 9 a six pack here too. I also like Whiteclaw...same idea but I can usually find those a bit cheaper.

    Just go back from a few days at Mt Adams. Was warm and we chased the shade around during the afternoon. Lots of food and booze. I will need to get back on track!

    It looks as if everyone is doing fantastic!

    I'm actually quite pleased with my drinking this week. Higher frequency but lower volume.

    Friends are coming in town tonight and they like to drink so I'll be drinking some wine. Maybe some cocktails. Have a great weekend!

    Did fairly well this weekend...
    Friday - 1 1/2 Long Island Ice Tea
    Saturday - 1 glass of wine
    Sunday - White Peach sangria and 1 Guinness Blonde beer

    Sunday we walked the Oakland Hills Golf course and watched the USGA Amateur Golf Championship - so lots & lots of walking over hills, uneven ground etc...
    Happy Monday all! :)

    I, on the other hand, didn't fair as well.
    Friday I moderated with just 1 beer. Saturday I worked out before hosting a BBQ. Met the son's new girlfriend. Drank a bottle of wine and had 2 tequilas. :o
    Yesterday I had 1 beer but ate all the carbs. Like every carb I could find.
    Time to reset.

    We drank a lot Friday and stayed up past 2am. I probably drank a bottle and a half of wine.

    Saturday we went to a late breakfast and our friends left around noon. Kids napped, we watched a movie and then went shopping and got Daphne's ears pierced. She screamed and cried, but ultimately wanted them and now is so happy with her fancy earrings. I had a beer and half a glass of wine at dinner and a glass of wine at home. Went to bed at 10.

    Yesterday I had some wine with lunch, grocery shopped, had a beer, had a cider at the pool, and then drank slowly the rest of the night. I paced myself and went to bed around 11 so feel fine today.

    I don't know what I have planned this week. It is SO nice out and there is beer in the fridge and an unopened bottle of red so we'll see.

    Both sons and our grandson visited over the weekend. Mass calories consumed. (But is was so worth it!)

    Time to get back on track!

    1 beer. Lots of calories at the baseball game. I need to get these summer pounds off!

    Monday - 1
    Tuesday - I opened a bottle of homemade wine (from KY....never a good thing) and mixed with sparkling water and it was not bad at first. I finished 1.5 wine spritzers and had half a cider.
    Wednesday - 2 beers and they just made me bloated.

    We're going to the KY State fair tonight! So I will likely eat corn dogs and drink draft beer.

    I did my second morning yoga class today. It was good! I am actually liking this getting up early thing. Although I seem to be more tired in the mornings.

    Moderating a bit. Now if I can coordinate that with eating right and getting in some exercise!

    Lenny took the ferry to Lanai today for work, so he will be working late, but instead of drinking and watching Family Feud I will clean the condo :laugh:
