    Hey lushes....I think my grand total for the week was:

    4 margaritas
    9 beers
    3 martinis with 2 pours each (6, rough estimate)
    3 bottles of wine (15 glasses)
    1.5 bottles of champagne (7.5 glasses)

    41.5 total:noway: :cry: ...I haven't been this bad since the summer...well, I am turning over a new leaf tomorrow...just went grocery shopping to the tune of $225 with tons of meats, veggies and fruits....time to DETOX

    This weeks' goal is less than 10...hope I don't withdrawl

    WOW, but if you are going to do something you have to do it properly and I think achieved it :laugh: I'm sure you will be fine getting back on track, enjoy those veggies

    Thank you, I try to go above and beyond....I though about your winter veggies dilemna, how about beef stew with potatoes, carrots & peas, brocolli soup or pasta fagiolo...I have recipes if any of them interest you...

    I am drinking some pinot noir right now! this weekend, well, started Wednesday with Wild Turkey Wednesday, but I didn't have Wild Turkey so I drank rum in rootbeer, it was pretty tasty, then we went out for dinner and I had two bud lights.
    Thursday there was two bud lights, followed by wine with dinner (the bottle they sent home with me and I am drinking right now).
    I did not keep track Friday, we went on wine tasting to four vineyards, then had chicken noodle soup and a couple of more bud lights.
    Saturday I had a couple of margs I made with tequila, sprite and lime seltzer, then a house marg at a mexican restaurant and a couple coors lights hanging out.
    Tonight I poured this wine, then we went to dinner and I had an agave wheat beer, breckenridge brewery-really yummy if you like wheat beer, and it's a local brew.
    I am worried about the weigh-in tomorrow!

    welp ... I made it thru thanksgiving with my mom without any alcohol. I love my mom a lot, don't get me wrong but somehow it's easier to spend hours with her when I am a little tipsy. First thanksgiving in a long time spend completely sober.

    Hope all of you are doing well!

    Karen, you have done so well, there's no way I'll be surviving my family this Christmas without the help of alcohol :happy: :drinker:

    Did you have pangs for the alcohol or has it become easier at this point?

    Glad I found this thread! I'm def a wino too. My vices are wine and cheese with crackers :) My friends all go drinking every thursday. So it's def a struggle. I guess the only thing I could do is eat less during the day so that I have enough room for the alcohol calories, but that sucks! lol

    SO happy I found this thread <3 I count the calories and for sure factor in the liquid calories. Glad to know we are together here! I have just started and hoping to drop 30lbs ... so every bit of motivation and team support helps. my like minded lushes

    Last week was a doozy for me... lots of wine, lots of cosmos, and lots of cider with spiced rum.

    This week back to no alcohol except for Sat night. I am going to try to stick to this schedule for December.

    Have a great week Lushes!

    Hi friends! Sorry I've been MIA but I took a little hiatus from posting online (didn't take a break from healthy eating.....except for Thanksgiving.....and day after thanksgiving......and the sunday after......but besides that, NO CHANGE......). I definitely splurged BIG TIME on alcohol last saturday when my Seminoles played their rivals, the Gators. GO NOLES!!!! Had 4 of my little brothers 'foreign' beers.....soooooooooooo good when it hits your lips!!! I cut myself off after four and didn't feel too bad the next day.

    Actually lost a pound (probably b/c I ran 25 miles last week, haha).....thankful for that.....back on to healthy eating with a vengence as I want to lose at least 5 lbs by Christmas!!!

    This definitely looks like a group for me! I work in the beer industry - and even have a kegerator in my office. It is not uncommon for us to have wine with lunch or a pint during a meeting. I can definitely see value in being apart of this group! :)

    You've just described my husband's dream job!! :drinker:

    Welcome to all the new people! (I'm a noob myself...)

    Well, I had a raspberry vodka-sugar free red bull last night to get me through some major cooking and cleaning, but I stopped at one. Yay me!

    I was not alcohol free last night, had 2 bud lights. Tonight I think we will have wine with dinner and tomorrow I might drink after mani/pedis with a friend. Thursday maybe no drinks.
    I have not tried rum in cider, that sounds good and warming!

    Monday, 0 drinks...my pancreas and liver are in shock:tongue:

    I am determined that alcohol will not touch these lips for 1 week. I gained 1.6 lbs over the past two weeks because I didn't exercise or log and engaged in lushness. I must be strong. :drinker: Day 3 is the hardest when the lush monster rears its ugly head:devil:

    If you have a Trader Joe's near you, their Spiced Cider is delish. We warm the cider then pour in some Capt Morgan's or Sailor Jerry's let it warm again, then enjoy! It is sooo good and sooo high in calories :drinker:

    Did anyone else read this post to the tune of The 12 Days of Christmas?

    OK, seriously - I suspect many of us have weeks like that. If we get in extra exercise, lots of water and some healthy eating, you can undo the negative effects.
