    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.....

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Been friends with beer all week. Guess I didn't get out of "vacation mode."

    Oh well, Monday will be here soon.
