Women who drink

JulieAnn72

I drink a couple glasses of wine several nights a week. I don't go out partying anymore, though! If I did, I'd save it for the weekends. Log it all. And I always see these posts where everyone recommends hard liquor, but I find wine works better for me. I can drink it without mixing it with anything and it's fairly low in calories compared to a lot of other choices.

My usual is vodka and diet cherry 7up. I do still drink beer just not as much of it. Just make sure you log it. :drinker:

OMG, vodka diet cherry 7up. . .YUMMMO

Although I am still swearing by Walmart brand sparkling Strawberry Lemonade soda - zero cal, zero sugar!

25 more minutes of work, So ready for a drink right now!!!

Yep! I drink and definitely more than once a week. I log it and try to make it fit. It requires burning extra cals to really get crazy, but I find it to be worth not giving up my social life, as I won't stick with it if I did. I do vodka/soda usually. :drinker:

I use it as my great day, bc I'm not really a ohh I want to eat chocolate girl. Those night are my don't remember getting home. I never ever drink beer that's bloats me far to much.
I'm a shot person thou - agwa, soju, whatever else is going around.
I usually buy a bag drink which is as much as whatever drink and limit the sugar mix.

If I could I would do wine, but it's not sold over here .

Vodka, Soda and a muddled lime... It's the lowest calorie drink for nights when I want to overindulge. Red wine for dinners out. If I know I'm going to really go out hard, I schedule my hard workout the day of and take a day off the next day. Lots of water! Sometimes, I actually weigh less the next day. Probably because of dehydration...lol

Beer is a losing battle for me. I absolutely love it and I have trouble just having one or two of them. Making it a goal to reduce beer to a once every couple of months thing. I believe beer and Taco Bell is the reason I'm in this boat. : ( It may just be a trigger food/drink for me that I have to stay away from....

For the record, I was the "after" body in many fitness commercials about 10 years ago....and DRANK! I did cut out weekday (well, Sun-Thur) drinking but tended to party pretty hard on the weekends. And was 10% bodyfat, ripped, and in great health. It can be done. And I'd gotten lean doing the same thing, so it wasn't like I'd always been in that shape.

Cheers!

You can still drink and enjoy yourself if that's what you want to do. Opt for spirits and a diet mixer. That's low cal hun x

i'm probably gonna get a lot of hate for this, but go on an empty stomach. 2-3 drinks will keep you happy all night.

Just try to resist the urge to get a kebab drenched in garlic mayo on the way home! *drooool* I can't help myself when i'm drunk. It's not the drink that adds the calories it's all the food I eat when i'm leathered and the following hungover day. Vodka and diet anything tends to keep calories low. Absolute vodka and cranberry gives me less of a hangover (cheap nasty vodka isn't as kind), so I make better choices the next day. A salad just doesn't sort a hangover out the same way a fry up does...

Here is what I know:

I drink Stoli or Tito's and soda with plenty of citrus. I drink lots of water as well while I'm drinking. I've read that DRY champagne and DRY red wine has the least calories next to vodka as well. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. I used to be big into craft beer but I don't really like beer anymore. Needless to say the calories are big. I also drink white wine spritzers with a dry white, soda and lemon. Bartenders look at me like I'm some flashback 80's housewife (who is also a bartender) but I stretch my alcohol out so I have a drink in my hand but it's lower alcohol since it's in a tall glass and I get the benefit of citrus and water again.

The other problem is alcohol inhibits your self control. Next you're eating nachos or a late night burger or worse-- you're hungover the next day and you make even more poor food decisions. And science shows that greasy foods and caffeine make a hangover worse. The cycle continues... next you know you're off your meal plan and stopped exercising.

Take me for example, I was on a roll! Then, I went out with my buddy and a few days later I hadn't done P90x as I was never home, I'd been drinking like crazy and my meal plan wasn't what it could be.

It's a week later. Midterms are over and I am finally getting back on P90x.

I'm not saying that wild nights lead to two wild nights which leads to a week long bender. (Unless you're me.) I am saying that I've learned from experience that I have to be in control or else I get out of control and then I'm bummed that I let myself get outta control. etc. Vicious cycle!

Drinking is actually what made my weight go up 13 lbs! so i completly stopped. and if i do go out I get one of those Skinny drinks but even then its still not the best thing. but at 21 just do it socially that shoudl be fine. :drinker:

I drink occasionally--I stick to vodka with plain soda water and a slice of fresh lemon or lime. I also drink lots of water along with it. Sometimes I have champagne or a glass of red wine. I've never been a beer drinker, so I can't be of any help if that's your thing. :drinker:
