Cheers, make it a double!!!!!!

:drinker:
Why thank you Yvonne! but after all of my good intentions I have had a GnT with ice n a slice for my aperitif and am having a glass of rosé right now- I am so crap at going without...... but hey have had a bit of a day at work and that is excuse enough evidently!!!!!!! have a good evening everyone0 -
I had a good week visiting my sister in CA--despite visits with my dad, which really do require liquor, I had six clean days in a row there. Went out drinking with a HS friend on the 7th night (Monday) and kept it to 2 vodka gimlets, which I felt was quite restrained, and had a glass of Arneis with my husband when I got home on Tuesday night. No drinking for the past three days, but I am going to town tonight. Date night with my husband and I ran 15 miles this morning so I have a million extra calories and it's going to be almost 100 degrees today. I see many glasses of cool white or gimlets in my future, and I will also probably do whatever I want tomorrow. It's almost time to stop drinking entirely for marathon training, so I might as well enjoy it while I can.0

a) The Bills suck
b) Bolts?
c) Two words: Da Bears
A) you hit the nail on the head, seriously, the Bills?
Bolts = San Diego Chargers
C) AMEN!!!! DA BEARS!!
Just treated myself and bought a signed Urlacher jersey and a Bears jersey purse. Yes, I did it while drinking a beer.
Football season is fast approaching! Did I mention I am excited?0 -
Hi Lushes... I've sworn to stay dry this weekend. So far its going well, although the Don Julio tequilla is calling from my cabinet. I feel so badly leaving it all alone and full in that bottle, but I'm going to try. :laugh: I have a personal challenge going on to stay dry for a consecutive 5 days, we'll see how it goes :drinker:

ah, I just found this! Perfect. Well, Friday I had a vodka-soda before heading out to the comedy show where I drank 4 Bud Light limes. I had to go through a DUI checkpoint on my way home, they said, "have you been drinking?" I said "No" and they said, "be on your way" I was scared though! I don't think I was drunk, but I don't know if I was over the legal limit!
Today, I was able to drink close to home, there was a festival near my house, I spent some time in the beet garden and got to walk home!0 -
OMG!!! I love this thread.... Lushes worlwide unite!!
I'm managing to stick to one night a week at the moment, but I think I'm getting a whole weeks worth at once. I live in a party street full of really great friends and everyone has been really supportive so far but as soon as 5pm on saturday arrives the champagne flows! Trying to stick to vodka(62cal) Soda water(0cal) and fresh Lime(1cal) but i love the bubbles
I refuse to give up everything and am trying to have everything in moderation.

Well I had vodka Friday night, beer last night and started a few hours ago today with some cider. The cider was well deserved though as I had to spend 3 hours in Paeds A&E with my daughter waiting to be seen by a doctor so she could get some antibiotics for an infected insect bite. What a great way to spend your Sunday afternoon, especially seeing as it's the hospital I work in, feel like I haven't been away from the place

Well, I had a white sangria with dinner Thursday night. It was actually WAY too tart, but I guess that's good because it slowed me down and I only had the one drink. Didn't drink the rest of the weekend, I just hung around my apartment and watched Buffy for two days, but on Saturday morning, I did finally break my not-losing streak and hit my mini-goal! :drinker:0

Totally planned on not drinkin til Friday.... hubs poured a crown and coke and let it sit... ARE YOU KIDDING! So then he was gonna dump it b/c it got watered down.. no *kitten*... so I took it, got a new glass, filled with ice.. added more crown.. added the "watered down" drink.. and topped with coke... thanks a lot hubs... grrr... now I want another one...0

I like the way you think, mamaturner. I always said there is alcohol abuse and there is alcohol neglect and I can't abide either! You can't let it go to waste!0

thank you! As I was typing I was worried I sounded like a crazed alcie.... I'm really not but I am against alcohol abuse/neglect and that was just rediculous. Don't pour it if your gonna let it sit in the kitchen!0

Going to the casino tonight...usually don't drink 'cause drinking and gambling = stupid mistakes...the buffet should be easy, salad and only one plate
I drank light beer for my last few days of drinking...the sacrifices I have to make...boy, is that stuff full of water...better off drinking what I like and then a glass of water between....geez
Dave, I think I might have to wait for summer to be over to focus on goals....0 -
I just mapped Billy's Inn, this bar, from my house and it is 3 miles (approx 5k) so I think that is a sign I should jog there tonight to meet my friend for happy hour. Then I get in the "couch to 5k" workout and the workout allows me the calories for two bud lights and a shrimp taco.
Have you seen this study:

Beer hydrates better than water!
There was a lot of food at work today to celebrate birthdays, so I am not too hungry anyway. It does look like it is going to rain, though...0 -
My goal was around my fitness. Think I've pretty much achieved what I set out to do. Took a week or so to get back on my feet after my treatment, back is still a bit sore but hey ho. Since then have got back to cycling to work. Have also made it back to the gym not quite as many times per week but getting there. At my session with my trainer on Sunday I lifted the heaviest weights I ever have. Proudest achievement is leg pressing 222lbs, not far off being twice my body weight, the best bit though was the next person to use the machine was a man twice the size of me and he adjusted the weight down :laugh: :drinker: ...not that I'm gloating or anything...0

So I soooooo feel better about the 3 coors light I had by the pool this afternoon! haha:bigsmile:0 -
3 days a week sounds reasonable and i like to think i am a reasonable guy. I seem to have highs and lows when it comes to having a drink ( that sounds rather scarry but i don't think i need AA just yet). I was told about MFP by a friend and so far so great. It is just too easy to go to the fridge and get a cold one so i am going to take up Surlydave idea and see how it goes.

Monday was a fail because I had lunch at my fathers and they always give me a glass of wine. :grumble: tuesday was a fail because I had a vodka at 9:30 to help me sleep. :yawn: Lets try for today. :noway:0
