    I'm on track to make amends for my wine and pringle incident at the weekend :happy: Might just have a little drink tomorrow night though :ohwell: fortunately no evil pringles in the house to tempt me.

    Just had a random image of trying to smoke a pringle and kill 2 birds with 1 stone.. I worry about the way my mind works sometimes!

    The craziest thing happend to me last night.... after a long day at work, exercise, and healthy eating all day, I decided that I wanted a beer. Now here is the CRAZY thing... I only drank HALF! Who does that???!!! :drinker: Certainly not me! :devil: Could this active healthy lifestyle really be working? :love: Of course, I don't think I would have the same results with a glass of wine (which I give myself permission to have on the weekend). :laugh:

    What did I tell you about alcohol neglect? There's abuse, and there's neglect... I can't abide either!:angry:

    This was going to be my "no wine" week, but that hasn't gone so well. Not nearly as much fun as "wine" weeks. I've done pretty well with calories, and excellently with working out, so there are two out of three!

    I know better than to even consider a posibility that next week will not include alcohol. We have a birthday party, a holiday, and my husband (who travels all the time for work) will be home for 5 days. SO, I will continue to count calories and work out and hope for the best!!!

    had a coors light tonight, but it worked ok-only 50 over goal. I should run up and down the stairs or something.

    Ok, I have my munchy snacks ready - getting the vodka today and Crystal Light....Weekend begins at 1:30 est today and ends Monday......FULL WEEKEND of football and racing......bittersweet, excited to have a good time with friends, scared to death of the temptation and throwing everything out the window. On a brighter note, the 4.5lbs I inherited last weekend (which I am convinced was from the 6 beers) IS GONE as of yesterday morning and steady this morning. I really cant see getting any workouts in until Monday night.....:)

    Have a great weekend my fellow lushes....try to pace yourself (and Ill also try to take my own advice)

    *HUGS*

    GO DAWGS!!!!!

    Last night was rough - 4 coors light - opened the smokes, and I went down hill fast:sad:

    The good news - I didn't like the smokes - I still have them - but won't be buying another pack

    I did some grocery shopping and now the house is filled with healthy stuff

    I'm back at day one

    It's heading towards 10pm here in the lovely UK and I'm only on my second glass of wine which for some reason is disappearing incredibly slowly. The rest of the bottle is definitely not being drunk tonight. I am even resisting the call of the pringles...yes some evil ****** has brought some salt and vinegar pringles into my house again! Tonight however I will absolutely, positively ignore their pleas for me to eat them.

    @yvonnej1 they have low fat pringles i read somewhere here

    Okay ... so no drinking during the week. That sound really great in theory! I have tried to stick to this ... but it hasn't worked that well and, in fact, it is probably part of what has caused my weight to sky rocket and me not be able to fit comfortably in my jeans anymore LOL.

    Okay so ... without even SEEING this thread I had resolved to quit drinking during the week. I have done it before and shall again. Every time I want a vodka (that's straight up/ no mixers thankyouverymuch) I will pour a glass of water. Hey, it's clear!

    So far in september:

    9/1 (the day I weighed myself): 3 oz of mango vodka and 1/4 bottle of white wine
    9/2 (the day I realized that the alcohol was probably adding to my weight): 0

    Tonight is a crap shoot but I think that I am not going to drink ... I am going to try although it's a friends birthday party and we are going to sushi (shudder ... only because I love sushi and sake). I will try to keep the "no drinking during the week" thing up and only moderate drinking (read: karen don't drink 1/2 a bottle of vodka) over the weekend (if at all). Good luck everyone!

    Going to reward myself by taking the TV outside to watch the Gator game while floating in the pool with some cocktails:glasses:

    It's the ying and the yang in my life and I'm ok with it
