    Maybe it's just me, but 37 calories an ounce doesn't sound good. Regular tequilla has about 69 calories an ounce. Seems like you could get more bang for your buck just using regular tequilla and a smarter mixer (club soda & lime, crystal light, etc).

    37 calories for 1.5 oz...for me, it's about quality...if it tastes like a real margarita with 1/4 of the calories...I'M IN!!

    I can't even stomach light beer...it's just not worth it to me...I blame living in Germany...got super spoiled

    AH! I may have to run to the store today to get some so I can enjoy this weekend... does it look bad going into a liquor store with a toddler trailing?

    that reminds me of friends with small children took them to a bar with a volleyball pit in the back. they called it "the sandbox" and took buckets and toys and let the kids play in the sand while they were drinking at happy hour. They could walk there so...
    Also, "I'm outdoorsey, if by "outdoorsey" you mean drinking on patios!"

    I think I found my home! :love: It's my biggest downfall. It drives me to eat bad things as well as the calories from the booze itself.

    I haven't quite figured out a goal for this "month" as I *just* found this thread today.

    I did want to say re: vacation, I found I didn't drink as much as I do at home because I was busy, engaged in what I was doing, etc. Being at home is so routine, there's a big entertainment factor to drinking for me.

    I have to run right now, but wanted to join in ASAP so I don't forget!

    :heart:

    Sorry you are having a bad day. I am sure you can stay strong. and enjoy the wine.

    I am so looking forward to tomorrow and then to complete unadulterated drinking for days. I am going camping for 4 days and I plan on putting the Lush in Lush!!!!

    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?

    rjadams- enjoy it!! You CANNOT repeat you CANNOT camp without drink!!

    stellcorb- not at all (in my opinion) that's what this is all about, making sure your enjoying life and yourself without going overboard... ps don't look at my food diary today..

    Somebody tell me how the skinny girl marg in a bottle tastes! Last night had one Kirin with my bento dinner. Wednesday I had two Annapurna Amber ales, but instead of the burger and fries I had the crabcake and corn chips. Baby steps!
