    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:

    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 :wink: :smokin: :drinker:

    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!

    I just realized that it has been four days since I had a drink. I think I am going to go for 7.

    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:

    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...

    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.

    Teehee, nipple..... :laugh:

    Had more vodka/Rose's Friday night, but I had already budgeted for them, so I won't feel bad anyways! :tongue: 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: )
