drank a lot of wine yesterday and I don't feel too bad about it. I will start my monday on a positive thought note and see where we go from there. Kiera is getting better but she has a ways to go. So Stressfull!!!!!!0

I went out on Friday and had a couple of margs and a beer and ended up getting sick, which has not happened in a long time, so I do not know if it was food poisoning or the Rio margs, they can be dangerous.
Saturday at the tailgate I had beer, but not very much.
Sunday I got my run in, it was so nice outside. Then I had a bloody mary, then a beer with dinner, another beer with dessert and a glass of wine later at home. I do not know how I managed to stay under cals yesterday, if you look at my food diary it is a mess! I guess sleeping through breakfast helped.
This week I should be ok, after tonight, I am going to a concert and will likely have a couple of beers.0 -
Robin, glad to hear the pup is rebounding...too bad about hitting the sauce tho...

One day at a time!!! It's so cliched but so true. When I start to think big picture it seems to stress me out.
I had my weigh-in this morning, and was shocked at the scale....11lbs lost! I felt really good about a 5k I ran last night.....going to be doing Race for the Cure this weekend so I'm glad I can make it through 5k without dying!
The system asked me if I wanted it to 'recalculate' my formula b/c I've lost 11lbs......anyone know what that means? I clicked 'yes' but it still has the same calorie allotment.....0 -

those sneaky mean litlle mexican restaurants with inexpensive beer and tasty margaritas. they are so evil.0 -
I'm supposed to be off beer for the next month until my trip to Mexico (where there will be unlimited beer for freeee). We made the trip to WYO for the football game and I had my rum and diet and was being a pretty good girl when the boys wanted to shotgun a beer. OK, what is wrong with me that I cannot turn down a shotgun?? I am 33 years old! I am a lady. But I hear the word "Shotgun!" and I jump out of my chair. I think I must be grasping at my young tomboy ways. I must get this under control. At least a had my workout before the game and played a little football while tailgating.
This weekend won't be that great either. It is my mother's 60th birthday and I am in charge (as usual) of making jello shots. They also found a great jalapeno dirty martini recipe. My dad is making shrimp and grits and I'm making ganache filled cupcakes. Oh dear.
This last ditch effort to look hot in Mexico is is crumbling before my eyes. I'll never fit into that Dallas Cowboys bikini! :sad:
I hope everyone is doing better than I am.

sillygoose, I think it is hilarious that you cannot turn down a shotgun challenge. I also love that you make jell-o shots for your mother's 60th b-day.
I went to a concert last night and had a few beers. $9 miller lites, such a good deal:) they were 20 oz though.
I think there's a happy in the planning for tonight, but then wednesday I should be able to go alchol-free. Mum gets here Thursday for a visit. We won't be making any Jell-o shots for her

I guess immaturity runs in my family. We have a delightful time together though! 0 -
I had a glass of Moscato on Sunday. Very yummy, but managed to limit as we had to go grocery shopping after dinner. None since. I'll do well until Saturday when we're having our Halloween party. Then, well... Sunday will probably hurt.0

Retribution of the alcohol Gods....0 -
Well, I had a couple of beers and a "glojito" on Sunday at Disneyland. This was all planned but man, I have to tell you the effects of that day, and the added sodium, resulted in a 2lb gain from Sunday to Monday. I know that it's "retention weight" from just eating junky that day (again planned) but it goes to show that there are really adverse effects to weight loss efforts by using alcohol.
Besides just the dehydration factor, it also promotes unhealthy eating and snacking. The inhibitors in your brain are lifted. I can remember many a night time binge after drinking. Usually in the form of 1000 calorie plus burgers at Carl's Jr. (the jalapeno burger is a personal favorite). Anyway, I have another Disneyland day and the last night of Oktoberfest (this saturday night). I plan on working out hard on Saturday so I can eat a little but I will leave the beer to others.
EDIT: between yesterday and today I have already dropped 1 of the 2 lbs0 -
Karen, I'm likin' the new photo of your....va va vooom...you were in Disneyland!!!
Sillygoose...you are silly and fun...anyway, try to pick and choose your party times carefully and see if that helps...0 -

I miss Carl's Jr. they finally opened one up here but it is 15 miles from my home. What I really miss is In and Out 0 -
always want what we can't have. Have Carl's Jr and I NEVER go there, seriously, never have. But wish we had In N Out burger! I hear we are getting Culver's and some people say it is like In N Out? can anyone confirm that?0

Thank you *blush* that was actually taken Sunday morning before leaving for the park. I am going to post some park pics tonight when I get back from work!0 -

Well, you know about where I live, so you know there are TWO In and Out Burger joints within 4 miles of my house (the one on Lankershim and there is one on Ventura across from Micheli's now).0 -

I'm from KS. We don't have In N Out, but I visited one last year. Culver's has hamburgers and fries and shakes like an In N Out, so I would say it's sort of similar. Though, I don't understand what's so great about In N Out...0 -
In N Out has a secret menu that I discovered online after a couple of visits when I was in Las Vegas or California. They have something called "animal style" and it is grilled onions and a dressing sort of like thousand island. It tastes so good on a cheeseburger. Also, their french fries are fresh instead of frozen and I think that makes them so yummy!0
-
That was probably part of my problem. I can't eat potatoes, so no fries for me. They did look very yummy.0
-
Karen, the only one was on Lankershim when I lived there. Yum, double double animal style protein. (lettuce leaves no bun) Messy but ooooohhhh so tasty. the fries are the best. When I am in Vegas for my daughters wedding in January I will definitely indulge.0

Well now they have the one off the 101 exit at Lankershim (going south) across from Micheli's and Poquito Mas ... I haven't been in a very long time but looking at the calorie/sodium online I could go for a protein style without doing too much damage LOL0 -

I think tonight will be alcohol free, I stuck to one glass of red wine with dinner last night. I have a pot roast in the slow cooker at home, hope it's yummy!0

There is no room for failure...not eating out...lots to do on my agenda for the next few days and I don't want to feel like CRAP...I've been a lot perkier and efficient without the lag hangovers
Naughty, naughty, Robin...at least, you sound in better spirits (no pun intended)
Asjerven, yummy pot roast...put the wine in there0 -
Robin - glad to see you are brighter, hope that means that Keira is doing well.
Karen - keep up the good work
I've had a great day. Has been very sunny and warm here. Started the day with 45 mins aerobics on the Wii (third session this week). Followed this with 2.5 hours gardening - digging, weeding, planting etc. Still have spring bulbs to plant and a new vegetable bed to dig but am beginning to see the major work for this year done. Once I can 'tuck' the garden up for the winter I shall replace the gardening with some serious walking. Once I finished the gardening I went for a brisk walk to the chemist to collect a prescription and, having left a load of washing in the machine before I went out, it was then ready for me to hang out on the line. It was warm enough this afternoon for it to dry nicely, even my jeans!! So, have some ironing waiting to be done, I think it will have to wait until tomorrow as I have a church meeting to go to tonight. Did my pilates class last night and am going swimming with daughter and grand-daughter tomorrow night, so has been a good week for the exercise programme.
Have managed to sort through four of the six sacks of paperwork that I brought back from my brother's last week. Most of it has been shredded or recycled but there is some that I will need to re-sort and file. Hoping to get through the last two sacks tomorrow before I go swimming.
Am staying at my daughter's on Saturday night to babysit while Dawn and Chris go to a ball and spend the night at an hotel. I love spending time with the little girls (3 & 6); it's great fun bathing them and reading them their bed time stories, then I can spend the evening catching up with their big sister Emma (16). When I get home on Sunday I want to do some baking so that I have some cakes to take back to my brother's on Tuesday; some I will take into him but the others I will share with his stepson and my oldest daughter and her eldest (Stephanie and Mikkala) who are coming down from the north of England to visit my brother and me. Am really looking forward to that as I haven't seen them since they were here on holiday in August.
On Monday I am taking Emma up to London for the day. She has some birthday money to spend and I have a massage booked at Harrods, courtesy of my son and his partner, so a great day out planned for us both.
Yep - has been a really good week so far and am feeling great. No alcohol since Sunday, so am looking forward to my treat on Saturday and Sunday. I am really hoping for a good weigh in this week.
Keep up the good work fellow lushes! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:0 -
Shesh, I don't check the page for a day, and there are too many things to comment on!
Sillygoose - LOVE LOVE LOVE your shotgun beer story!!! That reminds me oh so much of my long gone college days!
Oldbat - how do you like the Wii aerobics?? I've been thinking about getting one to try something new (I'm totally ADD with my cardio - I get SO bored running). Also, I've always wondered how many calories I burn when doing household chores - I SO think those should count! Can't wait for my heart rate monitor to confirm....
Karen - love the pics - my favorite is the corn dog/beer photo - hahahaha. I see you didn't try a turkeyleg???? eck.
To all: don't know what this Carl Jr's place is, as we didn't have it in FL and haven't seen it in GA but THANK GOODNESS! Sounds way too tempting.
Ran a 5k with little problem on Monday, thinking of taking today off, but who knows. Going to run Race for the Cure on saturday, so trying not to feel guilty about taking one day off of exercising. At least this morning I stilled weighed the same, confirming I had in fact lost those last 2 lbs!! I always worry about a good scale reading being a fluke of dehydration and what not.
Anyway - loved reading all your posts!!

Oooh I'm so full up my tummy hurts, had lots of calories left for dinner! No alcohol for me tonight, I'm going to be good for once. Had 2 glasses of red wine last night after I opened the bottle to put some in my pasta sauce. Although my weight is staying constant I'm sure I'm looking more podgy round the middle. Think I need to go back to only drinking at weekends to see if it makes a difference again.0
