Goal is no more than 3 during the week...weekend will be more liberal with excess calories saved...I have gotten to toughen up0 -
Made it thru yesterday with no alcohol. Only four more days to go until Friday!!!! I can do this, I can do this, I can do this, I can do this, I can do this. ....0

Awe thanks Keith! Yea, we're gonna be in for it when our daughter gets older. She's got the prettiest blue eyes with that dark hair... I believe the call it pay back!? :laugh:
Despite all my constant moving this weekend... I think the alcohol and lack of water got to me.... up 3 pounds from Friday :sad: Nothing but water for me!!!!
And yes rjadams YOU CAN DO THIS, I'll be doing it with you!
Haha, go Kim. At least you didn't do a keg stand or anything.. those are pretty typical for grad parties here0 -
Yesterday, lots of wine but not too bad with food. Today? No booze at all, but food, not so great. I Really need to get back to journaling. I'm going to try to do that tomorrow!0
-
Should I even bother? Nope.
Here it is Monday night, and I drank again. Never more than I can count, and not even enough to get a buzz, but more than I would like, all weekend, all week, and not starting off this week too good either. WTF??? I managed to give up cigarettes? Why not this? It and coffee are my only vices. I drink my coffee black, so no calories. Sadly, the only alcohol I like is the high calorie kind. Beer and wine. Managed to stay within cals, though. Try again tomorrow.0 -
You don't have to quit. You just have to be willing to do the exercise to make up for it!0

OK, Day 2 of no alcohol...it's starting to feel wierd...hubs put a 12 pack in the garage...I am committed to remaining strong this week.0

Lake George NY, Great Escape Lodge... & Six Flags/Splashwater Kingdom.
2nd day at the lodge & indoor waterpark - a special needs young adult pooped in the water
4th day, I found a used tampon in the splash pad where children were playing... pointed it out to the young lifeguard, who wasn't sure what it was (don't think he's ever seen one before...) So I had to tell him what it was.
:sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick:
was it worth the 2500$ for the week?0 -

Are you on Day 2...I am also hoping to make it to the weekend...let's hang tough...I want to see the scale move0 -
I worked as a lifegurard for years (in my young and thin days). Poop in the pool and used tampons on the floor were all too common.0
-
I've got two words. Dis Gusting. Seriously? People are such pigs!0
-
another day successfully acheived. two more evenings and it will be Friday. I am starting to feel really positive about making it thru this week. :bigsmile:0
-
I have cut out whiskey and twisted teas, and now i am just drinking red wine!0
-
Had a beer and a wine cooler at my boyfriend's family reunion on Sunday, and one glass of plum wine last night with dinner. I never really defined when my "week" begins, so I guess if I want to drink again before Sunday, then my weeks will start on a different day! :laugh: My budget week starts on Fridays (b/c I get paid every other Friday) so I might make that my alcohol week start too.0

Awesome! I have to think that much like exercising, abstaining starts to pick up its own momentum the longer you go. Of course, I can't speak from experience.
Great job to everyone who has made it this far this week! Just make it through tonight then it's party time!0 -
thanks for the encouragement Dave. I made it thru last night. tomorrow is Friday, I can tast the wine, vodka, and rum already but I will be strong and wait until then.0

Lushes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm back from a two week vaca in rural New Brunswick. Yes rural. SHOULD have ='d a LOT of drinking but alas, I got a chest cold
Not only did I not drink, I couldn't bring myself to eat anything "bad" because it didn't feel worth it if I couldn't taste.
Of course I got home and had 5 days to hang out in my backyard by the pool (SOOOOOOOO thankful I have my own pool after reading THIS thread eh?). Despite the 5 days of fun, I managed to weigh in on Sunday at my lowest weight so NO DAMMAGE!
Been finding my "no weekday" drinking rule pretty easy to stick to. I think it helps that I partake in smoking wacky tabacky on a daily basis
I've even manged to swap "sitting around watching TV while munching" for "swimming naked in my pool" at night! LOOOOOOOVE summer!
This weekend is going to be a crazy one though! There is a big free concert in the park festival all weekend and my favourite Indian Restaurant has a booth. Booze and Indian food....how can I resist
Glad to be back!0 -
this thread of worst drinks is shocking (and for a change they are picking on all alcohol drinks.
they're listed as a count down #20 to #1
read and then promise- never, never, never
-always go for the red wine instead!

going out with friends tonight. we're headed to our favorite hangout, which now days has a "skinny" drink selection of 8 different 90 to 100 calorie drinks. i'm thinking i can have two. now i just get the fun of deciding which one. last week it was the vodka lemon drop. today, i'm thinking of rum.....0 -

Well done, you have put me to shame as I gave in to the call of a cold beer (actually 2) on Tuesday evening. Haven't got my bottle of wine in for the weekend yet, might just settle for vodka as that's the only alcohol I have in the house.0 -
last night was delicious - knocked down a bottle of south african blend (Faithful Hound - I highly recommend it), sat outdoors under the gazebo with my husband listening to the Jazz Masters and the kidlets playing in the yard. It was heavenly!0

Haven't had a drink since Monday (Yay!).
Today's goal is to motivate myself and be the person I can to myself by eating right & exercising so that I can get to a healthier BMI/weight.0 -
People, THIS is why we drink:
Me, yesterday morning, on the scale, at my lowest weight ever since starting MFP. Whoo hoo! Had a bad headache all day yesterday, and didn't feel like drinking last night. Was going to have a beer but decided not to. My first day with NO alcohol in something like 2 weeks. Today, me on scale. UP TWO POUNDS. WTF?????
I'm drinking tonight.0 -
awe Tabbydog... I've been there.. It is frustrating for sure!
Well I made it the whole week without drinking. Had enough cals tonight to drink!! I'm on my second beer... however I'm behaving.. it's a MGD 64. We'll see if I can have any more.. after my deliciuos FILLING dinner... I'm actually not sure if I want any!
Tomorrow will be a drink night! goin to a local "festival" WOO WOO!0 -
Been friends with beer all week. Guess I didn't get out of "vacation mode."
Oh well, Monday will be here soon.0
