    Almost 1/3rd of the month done...

    No quiz here because I kind of already know the limits and that I exceed them frequently. Hence, I am on a lush board on a diet website.

    Bridget, I've had a hubs and kids so long that I am afraid to sleep in the house alone - I hear lots of noises. I've never liked sleeping alone.

    Mama, I hope you find your mojo...for me, it's going to be one day at a time.

    Bridget, having someone live with you is definitely an adjustment and as long as they respect you and your house you will be fine. My gf lived with us for 2mths while she was getting her life back together after a bad breakup and then our in laws lived with us for 2mths after they sold their house and we waiting for their new home to finish being built. They were both in the same year (different times of the year), so it was a little nutty but not as bad as I thought it would be!!! Good luck!

    Sunday-Tuesday-0
    Wednesday-2 beers
    I am going out to lunch with my mom today and will most likely have a cocktail. Who know about after work??!!!

    I don't think I'm feeling good. Our neighbor brought us over a sampler pack of Sam Adams last night. The Chocolate Cherry Bock was pretty awesome and, check this out, I only had one sip. We also have a bloody 12 pack of bud light still sitting in the fridge too. What's wrong with me???

    0's for the week.

    Being that I'm pregnant I only had one sip of my husbands Chocolate Cherry Bock and it was a huge mistake because I then wanted the whole damn thing, so good!!

    I don't know if I miss beer or wine more.

    I begged the other half to save me the rest of them. Come Saturday, they're mine. *evil laugh* I'll probably regret it but dang I'll enjoy it.

    Kat, pick some up now so you can enjoy after you get through the pregnancy/feeding thing! I'm thinking they'll taste even better after all that.

    Funny you said that because I told husband I wanted to go and pick some up to have for once baby is out and about. I can't wait to have a full glass of real champagne either haha :drinker: Less than 3 months until this lush is back!!!

    Although reading about the dumb Sam Adams really made me want one. Also, the Chocolate Bock is good in chili if you're willing to spare it.

    Kate, I forgot to mention at Christmas I saw a game called "Beer Nerds" and thought of you :happy:

    Oh I don't mean super lush will be returning, obviously I'll have a little one to take care of. However I am looking forward to actually being able to have wine at the end of the day :smile:

    I know - I was just teasing....

    Amy, I read that and heard the pssshh of the bottle opening...I would love the wine tonight - but, will hold strong.

    Way to go with JSNJ Kim! Is it getting easier? I remember after 2 weeks it seemed easier. 2 weeks to form a habit, right?

    Kat, I still drink quite a bit with a small child. But it totally sucks waking up hungover at 7am. And I typically make myself feel guilty for drinking so much....you know that whole responsibility thing. Thus why I am trying to moderate more this year. So far so good.

    M - 1
    T - 3
    W - 0
    R - Finished the wine and split another bottle with Eric. So around 3-4 glasses

    I have a head cold and feel like crap. I may not drink tonight and just get to bed early. I've not been sleeping all that well between my daughter coughing at night and me having to blow my nose all night. Wah.

    Beer nerd, huh....I'll have to check that out :smile:

    Sunday-Tuesday-0
    Wednesday-2 beers
    Thursday-2 bourbon cocktails at lunch and nothing when I got home :huh:
    Not sure about tonight. I have been having this belly/reflux thing going for the last week and alcohol just isn't as appealing, HA but we'll see!!!

    Tomorrow, we are taking my parents out for their xmas gift....dinner at a fab mexican byob, which serves margaritas "on the house". Then Sunday I have a baby shower, MEH :grumble: :wink: .

    I'm guessing that baby shower isn't like the ones we do for our friends. Usually at a bar and involves the rest of us enjoying a drink or five. I swear I'm not trash. ;D

    HAHAHA Nope, nothing that fun!!! :laugh: It's wine only...which is ok, and apparently the place has some pretty amazing food. I just have no interest in baby showers....ehh well any shower to be honest....I get ADD at those things!!! AND I hate doing things on sundays...much rather be home with Lenny sitting on the couch and sipping on brewskis :wink:

    Oh Kate, at least you're getting some kind of alcohol at the baby shower! LOL. I have never attended a baby shower that included alcohol.....probably because my friends who are pregnant were also my big drinking buddies, so it would've been way unfair to have anything around them when they can't partake.

    I've had 0's all week AND I worked out every single night this week!!! Taking tonight off, but plan on going to the Y tomorrow! I'm really in good spirits and feeling awesome! Glad to be getting back to a good routine, even though I really get anxious with the massive amounts of people (& the kids running around like crazy) at the gym. However, this too shall pass...probably in March! HAHA.

    Happy Friday, Lushes!!! :drinker:

    Well my Aunt knows her family well enough to have booze there, hahaha!!!!

    Bridget, the gym will probably start thinning out in a few weeks. We go in the mornings and definitely see less new people then at night. Actually that is one of the reasons we starting going in the morning, because it gets ridiculous! Plus, we are super lazy and if we don't get it out of the way in the morning then we won't do anything, even though Lenny HATES getting up at 430am, hahaha!!!
    Glad you having a good day :bigsmile:

    I didn't want a baby shower and don't want to go to mine but I apparently have no choice :grumble:

    Most of the baby showers I go to are couples and there is a keg! Got one Jan 26, can't wait:drinker:

    So last night I had a beer and 2 glasses of wine.

    Tonight I will have one margarita, but it is 26 oz! Love the Loma marg, can't wait:bigsmile:

    Eons ago when I had my shower..it was couples and there was plenty of booze lol.

    I did well this week with the exercise and moderation. 2 Vodka/sodas with lemon last night. I was asleep by 10pm lol. I had wine most other nights. It fit into my calories and never more than 2.

    I'm not making any promises over this weekend...but I definitely want to avoid the I can't remember how many I had last night feeling. I'm thinking the Chargers will dissapoint on Sunday so there won't be much celebrating.

    enjoy lushes!:drinker:

    Tonight is my first night out drinking. I'm excited but nervous. I'm trying a trick my boss gave me and figured you guys wouldn't judge me too hard. If they don't have diet tonic water or diet 7-up/Sprite, I'm gonna do vodka water with dasani drops. I know, I know, all those chemicals and what not blah blah blah. Still less sodium than my beloved beer and stuff. Damn it, I just want to get my drink on!

    Bun, that's actually a good idea!

    I was pretty good this week, didn't drink Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday...at least I don't think I had one on Wednesday.) Had a captain/fresca on Thursday, but I got my drink on last night. The JD Tennessee Honey is DANGEROUS!!

    My car broke down last night so I thought I would do some drinking.
    Fri - 6 drinks
  • sisterlilbunny
    sisterlilbunny Posts: 686 Member
    ^Ouch. Car break downs are not cheap or convienent. :( I don't blame you for the 6.

    JD Honey would be the death of me. I forget the name, it's like Jagerbaron or something but oh man, pure honey alcoholic gold! It's not honey but we had Evan Williams' Orchard Apple (might be a bit different but that's what I remember LOL) on NYE. Tasted just like cider. Amazing stuff.

    extraordinary_machine Posts: 3,028 Member
    The honey stuff is 108 cals for 1.5 oz....and we each had 3 or 4 shots last night. Oops! We've now relegated it to a "we just got home from work and we need a little something to take the edge off" category, not the "we want to get effed up" category.

    Kate, I'm with you and the ADD on the baby showers.

    Zip, I would drink too (and many other reasons).

    sisterlilbunny Posts: 686 Member
    Well the vodka diet 7up with dasani drops turned out amazing. I went over my "limit" though and had 8. I'm gonna have to watch that in the future because as we all know, vodka effs ya up differently than beer does. Oh well, nothing a good meal and a day of football can't cure. :)

    My goals for this upcoming week are 0's for M-F, 5 on Sat, 0 on Sun. That might change a bit if I end up going out for a margarita with friends i haven't seen in a while.
