    I am tired of drinking lite beer. It seems like I can drink it all day and not get a buzz. I guess I will just have to drink vodka or tequila with club soda!

    Well so far I have been 3 days with no alcohol! Tough feat for me. But now the weekend is around the corner and I can almost sense me trying to make up for the whole damn week!! I am a healthy eater so I know my 15lbs is from drinking. UGH!!! When the weekend comes, how do you keep your alcohol calories in check with your food calories?

    That's when the CC really comes in handy,getting in a good work out definitely helps.I try to be very limited on my first few meals,then eat something like a turkey dog mustard on a piece of wheat bread just before starting to drink,then the trick is to not eat after the party,and carefull not to binge the next day due to your hang over.

    So, is it bad that I looked at my remaining calories after dinner and decided that I needed to go to the gym so I could have a couple of beers? I guess it's motivation, right?
    Chatting with the ladies counts as exercise right?

    try 20+ vodka soda
    or 13 Jack Daniels
    or 3/4's BOTTLE of Glenlivet

    Pam I gotta try your vodka drink.. it sounds yummy and refreshing. I work with the cutest older gentlemen who always drinks Perrier (he's from Austria, he's so cute I love him lol.)

    I ended up having only 1 beer last night and went to bed.. waking up at 4:30 is taking it's toll, at least I only do it 2 days a week (in 2 weeks it'll be up at 3:30 for 4 days) Who the hell gets married on labor day weekend?? we have 9 freakin wedding cakes to get done and deliver so I'm kinda in charge of the bakery.. AH!

    A la Carte at Milwaukee zoo today, SUPER EXCITED! Gonna fine the wine tent asap!

    Hey Kim, my daughter is moving to your area in a week. she works for US Bank and is transfering from Las Vegas to Eagan(she wants to live somewhere with seasons having grown up in the desert) I am worried about her finding a place and all but I will cope. probably with the help of lots of wine.

    so no drining yesterday. other than lots of water. I still feel really out of sorts, my body can really tell that I abused it camping. I have a deck warming party to attend today and I am just not feeling it.

    Ha, "a deck-warming party"...sounds like a reason to drink

    If she is looking to buy property, tell to be careful in Eagan because of all the planes...a lot of them fly directly over Eagan...I live in Woodbury, MN...it's East side of St. Paul....10 miles from the WI border; yep, we're right next to the cheese heads

    My hubs supports US Banks network thru Verizon Business...small world
