    Legendary drinking in Chicago.
    I opened a bottle of Liano last night when I got home, to have a drink with my husband - who took great care of the girls while I was away (even took them to Ballet Class!)
    Since the wine is open - I'll need to finish it.... so hopefully no drinking from TOMORROW night onward!:laugh:

    So now am into healthy eating plan after the two week kick start. Enjoyed the two gin & tonics I allowed myself over the weekend but back to no alcohol now until Saturday. Am feeling great and as long as I don;t go mad tonight I shall end the day within my calorie allocation of 1400. Managed 90 minutes of fairly heavy duty gardening earlier today so have burnt off a few calories in addition to 45 minutes on WiiFit Plus (Free step and rhythm boxing). Best of luck everyone at the start of a new week!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Another weekend in the books without a drink ... I think I am too full of water for anything else to FIT. I am worried about this next weekend though ... Oktoberfest and I LOVE the Angel City Beer ... ugh! I am going to try though. Other then the 1 shot of sake and the couple sips of Ouzo (at the Greek fest) I have been alcohol free Since Sept. 1

    Kim - have a great time in Vegas - I will PM you so we can try to have a drink next weekend when I am up in your neck of the woods.

    Yvonne - sweeten up those kids of yours with the chocolate! Save yourself, sacrafice the kids:tongue:

    Pam - incredible will power. good job.

    for me Monday = 0 drinks and I wasn't missing it.

    So to everyone - keep strong when you need to be strong and resist temptation - and then drink proudly with your head held high when you want to drink. We control this and it is our choice.

    Down another 3lbs this morning and I think if I were still drinking Vodka I wouldn't be ... so I am going to keep going on the No Alcohol but seriously, all bets are off on Sunday the26th when I go to Oktoberfest. I may have to "treat" myself to 1

    I had 3 miller lites and watched the first season of Weeds last night. Overall it worked into my calories budget because I ran on the treadmill. Tonight there will be wine at a reading so I will probably have some...

    Managed another two nights without alcohol; will treat myself to a drink with dinner on Saturday and Sunday. Have done loads of gardening the last two days plus WiiFit workouts and a pilates class this evening. Am feeling pooped so should sleep very well tonight. Keep up the good work fellow lushes. :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

    it happens. don't beat yourself up.

    Monday =0
    Tuesday = 0
    Last night I had to keep telling myself I really didn't want a drink, that I was just falling into habit. I successfully convinced myself not to drink.

    Hello Everybody!!!

    I am still following atkins - and yes the scale is still bouncing like crazy! Still no visible changes in my body - but I'm trying really hard to be patient. Over the week-end of Oct. 1st I will be spending a lot of time with extended family. (Karen are you listening?) That means TONS of Italian & Greek food, more liquor than you can imagine. Total debauchery!!!!And yes, planned lushness!!!

    yesterday 144lb
    today 146.2 it is enough to make me scream!:explode: :explode: :explode:

    Oh well......I wish you all a wonderful night!!!!!

    Had a JD and diet coke whilst waiting for my daughter at football practice last night, it was just too tempting whilst I was hiding inside in the warmth by the bar. I did cycle there and back so I burned off the calories anyway. Plus opened a bottle of red to put some in last nights dinner and I haven't touched it since. I've been pretty good by my recent standards :smile:

    thats the only really fun way to cook. I consider wine my creative muse whilst I am cooking. :laugh:

    I always think I cook better food if I do so with a glass of wine in my hand. Trouble is there isn't always that much left to drink with the meal by the time it's cooked. Maybe it's not that I make better food, it's that I'm too drunk to worry what it tastes like :drinker:
