Okay so the scale creeped up a pound this week. So now I really have to get serious. So after this week I am going to go on the wagon for real for a while. I figure I can do anything for a month so my goal is no alcohol until thanksgiving. there is one exception. on 11/7 I already have tickets for the Oyster New Year festival which is an all you can eat oysters and wine and beer tasting bash. It is so much fun and we try to go every year. So I will be clean and sober until then and after that until thanksgiving. If I can't do this then I really do have a problem so this is going to be my focus. I am going to avoid the scale during this time except a weekly weigh in ( i am a daily weigher right now) and I am focusing on keeping sugars down to 15g or less per day. I am telling all of you to help keep me accountable.
Until Monday I will enjoy a drink or four.
have a good day.0 -
Janna, I think work does make me drink...One time, I came home after a particularily crazy night and boom...there went a bottle of skinny margaritas...I think most of us drink to deal with stress, it's something I have been working on. Plus, I really do love it which I am also working on
I weigh in on Mondays; so, I am going to be really good this weekend and hope for a good loss...I'll let everyone know how I do...*fingers and toes crossed*...fridge with the alcohol locked and wired with electrical shock, maybe some barbed wire too0 -
Robin; well done on the goal for the next month. Think it will help knowing that you have a 'treat' to look forward with the Oyster Festival. Looking forward to hearing how you get on. Have stayed alcohol free since Sunday and have done well with my exercise and my calories this week so am hoping for a good weigh in in the morning. But whatever happens, I am looking forward to my gin and tonic tomorrow night! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: Have a great weekend everyone. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:0

I can't imagine giving up alcohol for a month! wow! I am impressed. I must have a problem
I had a vodka press yesterday afternoon, and then I made a quick sangria with leftover wine, orange juice, sprite and soda. I had to use up the leftover wine!
My mom is here, she is not a drinker so it's really not that hard to not drink. Tonight we are going to this show, Cavalia, like cirque du Soliel with horses, should be fun!0 -
I was naughty last night and had a (big) class of chianti......Thankfully I live by myself and have been staying away from my 'lush' friends for the past month to keep me from binge drinking. It's just until I get to my goal weight (15lbs to go still). I find that it helps not having peer pressure....for some reason some of my friends really can't stand it when I don't drink.....so annoying!
Anyway - Race for the Cure Sat, so may reward myself with some light beer for the FSU Football game!0 -

Wow, am I good?!! Woke this morning just before 07.00 so got up and did 55 mins on the WiiFit including 30 mins Free Step. Then washed hair, showered and dressed. Stripped bed and put load of washing on. Walked to High Street to get my paper and was home by 09.12!! Whoooeeeeee. Am now going to 'chillax' (as the grandkids would say) and have a leisurely breakfast while reading the paper. Am babysitting for Dawn tonight, need to be there at 16.30, so am conserving my energy for the rest of the day for dealing with the munchkins!! Happy Saturday, fellow lushes :drinker: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

Hope it was delicious!!! Sad thing is, I would crack a 2nd bottle:noway:0 -
Had a bottle of cider last night but not having any tonight. Think the idea of not drinking for a month is actually quite good, considering going for that too.0

Hope everyone has had a good weekend. I was way over my calories today but felt I deserved a break Also had a coupld of glasses of red wine last night and tonight, instead of my usual gin and diet tonic. Anyway, I still feel good. Calories, booze and exercise might be off the schedule for part of this week as I am going back to my brother's house on Tuesday for two nights and will be spending time with his stepson while we continue sorting the house and, I expect, crack the odd bottle of red. However, normal service will be resumed later. Will try to maintain the 'no booze' on week nights regime until Christmas and see how that impacts on the weight loss. Have a good week lushes :drinker: :drinker: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

I think I am regressing! I am drinking more wine than I should and "other half" told me that Bacardi and diet coke was less calories than wine so I have been drinking that ON TOP OF THE WINE!
Dear god I really need to get back on top of this....................................
Somebody slap me?0 -

Well I'm not entirely sure I can go a month which is why it'll be a challenge! Well I'm sure I can go without but will I want to enough so I don't give in? Managed 3 weeks OK when I was first starting to lose though. In some ways now I'm not so tight on calories I'm almost encouraging myself to drink more as I see alcohol as my weekend or occasional weekday treat which I'm entitled to have so I do.
OK so I've talked myself into it - I have 1 bottle of white chilling in the fridge which I will drink before the end of the month. After that throughout November my goal is to not drink alcohol. :bigsmile:0
