    I had a great day yesterday. good exercise, healthy food within calories and no alcohol. so today I will just do it again. Easy peasy.:tongue: I hope. I can do this. :noway:

    You and me both sister!

    Heavy workout, no need for alcohol. Mind you, at 2 a.m. while hubby was sawing wood in my ear, I could've used a shot of vodka!

    I wouldn't even want to know the number:noway: :sad: :blushing:

    Guys (or should I say gals for the most part).... I am a total failure. I have not worked out in a week, have drank daily, the scale is creeping upward on me, and so I start yesterday with the plan to go to the gym and avoid the bar. And I did the exact opposite.

    Well, the opposite is more fun!!!!:bigsmile:

    Home drinking is my big problem, I'll open a bottle of wine while making dinner and suddenly it's empty.

    I know exactly how you feel...when I go to pour another glass and it's gone...I'm like, "Where's the wine?"

    Some elf must be lurking around the house taking it when I am not looking.

    Maybe I should get a cat to catch the elf.

    Ditto on that.

    Guys (or should I say gals for the most part).... I am a total failure. I have not worked out in a week, have drank daily, the scale is creeping upward on me, and so I start yesterday with the plan to go to the gym and avoid the bar. And I did the exact opposite.

    Granted, mentally this week seems like a throw away, what with Alisonengland and her band of Brits (aka family) invading my town Saturday. Baseball + Brits = beer + brats. God save the Queen.

    Maybe I'll track one or two days, just out of curiosity:drinker:

    And no, you're not a total failure. You're just "success challenged"! It is definitely a weird week for me. Between trying to get all my work done before heading south, and wanting to be south already, I'm in a very strange place with everything right now! I will admit to imbibing last night, so now I have to be extra good until Thursday. :grumble:

    Hi Everyone. I am new to MFP and think I have found the group for me :drinker:
    I love nothing more than a cold beer with dinner and a rum and coke to de-stress at the end of the day... needless to say I don't enjoy the lighest of beers and my drink does not have 1oz of liquor in it... :laugh: soooo... it adds up.

    I want to limit the nights I drink to 3 per week - difficult in a summer full of beach gatherings, birthdays, and BBQ-ing... but I will try. I had a beer last night, and already have happy hour plans for thursday, and a party on sat. so I will to stick to those three days :drinker:

    August Goal... to get out of the 150's and no more than 3 nights of drinking per week... :bigsmile:

    OK, I think I've decided what my goals are. They're not lofty, but they're at least something.

    I am going to limit myself to one 6-ounce glass of wine with dinner each night. Friday and Saturday nights, I will allow myself an additional 3 ounces of hard stuff (tequila, rum, vodka, etc.).

    I sort of do this anyway, except the wine sometimes reaches 8 ounces, and the extra booze sometimes finds its way into Sunday nights. I've lost 30 pounds, so what I've been doing works, but I have 5 more to go, and it's getting tough, so it's time for me to buckle down and get tough too.

    Greeting fellow lushes. I'm on vacation right now so my goal of 2 dry nights a week will have to wait until I get home. I seem to have a wine elf inhabiting our travel trailer. Cheeky thing seems to be sucking back half my wine (at least). My 1 beer a week husband is having 1 a day, phew. Yesterday he had a beer in the afternoon an a glass of wine with dinner. After eating he announced that he felt woozy - like it was a bad thing. Can you guys settle an argument - he says there are 6 glasses of wine in a bottle, I only seem to find 4...strange.
