Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for this thread. I was always thin until I made the career change to being a personal chef... an occupational hazard has been a 40 pound weight gain over the course of a couple years. What can I say, I love good food, I love good wine, and with my schedule being rather inconsistent the gym was the first thing to go.
So here I am... dedicated to losing weight which can only come by exercising and reducing my alcohol intake and adding a more structured routine to my life. The food I prepare is very healthy I just need to cut out the late night eating. All simple in theory... lets see what reality brings.
Week 1 (8/8 - 8/14): No booze on Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday. Work out daily.0 -
ALL RJADAMS fault....
hit a bottle of blended aussie. I showed restraint and didn't drink it all.0 -

Way to go. but now you will probably have to finish it. It is actually kind of nice to have a bottle last longer than one sitting.

Welcome! Chef/fellow foodie here too. I gained 40 in the years of school.. no longer in the restaurant business due to hours (now have a toddler) and work 2-3 days a week as a cake decorator. I've found it quite fun and challenging trying to make the classics into healthier versions with just as much flavor!0 -
You just made my weekend!0 -
This article makes me all smiley inside.

Thanks! I actually work as a personal chef, the Herb-N Kitchen Fairy. I worked in the resaurant business while I was in grad school and then went off to "save the world" in DC -- after almost ten years of politics it dawned on me that the only thing I really loved about it was the food! I have always had a passion for food, wine, etc. So I quit it all ... and launched my concept -- but with the stress of starting a new business, testing, etc along with lack of routine those pounds just "magically" appeared. HA!0 -
How has it not been a week of August yet? I used up my six drinks on white wine by yesterday (2 glasses per night on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday) but will not be sober tonight. My father-in-law is in town and he likes to drink and he likes it when someone keeps him company. I try to be a good hostess. Same goal for next week, though--six drinks on 4 or fewer occasions. *kitten*, maybe I should join a thread trying to limit my chocolate oreo consumption instead, because I have been disinclined to say no to a cool beverage lately.0

Well I spread a bottle of wine over Thursday and Friday evenings, none last night as personal training session this morning. I lost weight last week despite upping calories to maintenance so I figured I could treat myself to some extra alcohol. Bought 2 bottles of wine today (on offer when you buy 2, see I'm being frugal
Now I have them in the house it is dangerous as the only way I stop myself from drinking is to not keep wine in the house otherwise the temptation is too much. Spirits I'm fine with, I can mostly even resist the temptation of a cold bottle of beer calling me from the fridge, but wine? the willpower goes out the window.
Oh well, so I guess this week I am not going to stick to only drinking 2 nights/weekend! :drinker:0 -
I didn't do too badly - although I said I wasn't going to drink for the rest of the week.
Yesterday I had 2 Coors Light, 1 vodka perrier lime.
now the pressure is on - nothing the rest of the week since my annual physical is on Friday.
Next weekend however is a different story - my out-laws will take my children for the weekend - so DH and I will get stoooopid together

Alcohol DEFINITELY slows the metabolism!!! BUMMER! I've gone from having three 99-calorie beers a night to three in a week and can see the difference in my gut! I'm gonna' hang with it until I het my goal then add some back on Friday nights!0

I just realized that it has been four days since I had a drink. I think I am going to go for 7.0

I am amazed you did that over the weekend! Personally, I am just focussing on today... eating right... working out... not drinking.
The British invasion of Northeast Indiana has been quelled. Amazingly, I am actually a couple pounds lighter than I was before the weekend started. I think our decision to go with a liquid diet Saturday night helped. I still hate my scale. :drinker:0 -
well, it was my first anniversary this weekend. Friday I had to have a drink, to celebrate Friday. Saturday I had a bottle of wine to share that was a wedding gift, then a vodka press with dinner, and a couple of drinks afterwards-a pear martini and then a miller lite.
Still every Monday I have the same 2 llbs back on the scale, I can get em down by the end of the week and then Monday morning, back again...0 -

Jessica, why don't you just eliminate the middle man and go straight for the buttery Crown? If nothing else, I won't smirk like a teenager every time you say nipple.0

Teehee, nipple..... :laugh:
Had more vodka/Rose's Friday night, but I had already budgeted for them, so I won't feel bad anyways! And my impromptu party was a bit of a bust, so no boozing there either. And Sunday night me and some friends went to a small local amusement park. Not sure if they even sold alcohol, but I couldn't have afforded it if they did. Again, being broke is really helping with the not drinking. If anyone is really struggling with a drinking problem, feel free to send your excess money to me, and I guarantee it'll help! :bigsmile:
My company just hired a new group of people, so I'm sure I'll be boozing with them in the next week or two (my poor wallet :sad: )0 -

Hmm... think whiskey and butterscotch liquere would mix well? N I think buttery crown makes for a much more interesting visual! :laugh:0
