    Happy Monday lushes!

    I was designated driver to/from last nights football party so I kept my drinking pretty in check. I think I had 7 beers all day, from 2:00 till about 11:00. It sounds like a lot, but all of my friends are big guys who drink a lot so I looked like the angel :laugh: ...and made sure to stop altogether 2 hours before driving.

    cw, I have never gotten a comment like that before, but my diary is public. Sometimes if its a particularly bad week I make it private, to be honest, because I've wondered how I would take it if someone made a comment....but Amy is right-try not to take it personally. Only you know what works for you and why.

    Amy-Vegas sounds like a blast. I went last year and LOVED it! It is def not good for the waistline though, haha! :drinker:

    My goal this week is two-three non drinking days, which should be pretty simple considering I'm working A LOT this week :(

    Good luck with all of your goals this week!!

    Glass of wine for me tonight, just finishing off the bottle I opened on Saturday, no alcohol for the rest of the week now.

    Impressive control. I used to have some contol I seem to have lost it all.
    New job and I want a glass or three of wine.

    Kim - I don't count them cuz then I would see how much I really drink. You will do great this week I am sure.

    I am heading to the wedding and Vegas for a whole week so I am sure I will be thoroughly lushy while I am there!

    Good luck to all this week.

    Saturday, Sunday, Monday=0 drinks
    I think maybe no drinks tonight, I usually get together with a friend and watch Weeds but she is busy so I am home and even though we have a fridge full of beer, I guess I overdid it in Vegas and DH is sick so I am trying to support my immune system and sleep well, so not drinking helps.

    I need to join this thread. It's true that many people on here don't acknowledge alcohol. I apologize, I didn't read through the 14 pages of posts, but I love that this is a topic on the forum. Thanks!!

    McDebbie: I try to limit my sugar and eat some of the suggestions of Jorge Cruise, author of "The Belly Fat Cure" and he suggests drinking champagne, so who am I to argue with him????


    And, no, I am not headed to the wedding in Las Vegas, Robin is, but my "quote" from her posts didn't quite work. Have fun Robin!!

    so last night I was totally set for a "0" day. Got to my BFs, go all snuggly to watch the bachelor when suddenly a glass of red wine appeared in my hand. How thoughtful of him! ;) So of course I drank it hehe.

    Alright, well I think I'm finally sobering up from the Bears defeat =D I did drink, a bit in excess this weekend, but overall it wasn't THAT bad.

    This week, headed to Mount Hood to hit the slopes for three LONG days. Just a little flask of Rumplemintz to stay warm (+ it's vacation) ;D Good Luck Everyone!

    Week 2 with our new trainer. She passes out a lovely piece of paper that among other things says: no alcohol for 4 weeks! Wow...this will be hard. It's such a big part of my social life. I immediately started thinking about all my "events" coming up thinking "good heavens what will I do". I know one thing for sure...all my friends will think I am pregnant LOL.

    Thank goodness I found this group/thread! I am definitely and oenophile and a good gin & tonic got me thru Alabama's miserably hot summer of 2010. Since New Year's, I've managed to have one bottle of barbera, one of sauv blanc, one vodka martini, one margarita. I know the Margarita was the biggest no-no, but I LIKE tequila!!

    Oh, I feel like I've found my people! Here you were all the time. My weakness is vodka & diet tonic water. I am currently shooting to have a couple on Fri & Sat only, but once in a while a drink on Sunday is called for too!

    so glad to see people being honest about this topic!! i have just started new goals this week and have already broke the no drinking during the week rule.. (this is what really put on the weight from the beginning) last night worked out with a friend after we did we had to have a congrats beer for working out for the hour... that was pointless as one turned into 4!! it really is going to be a challenge to cut down drinking when its so easily accessible in the fridge calling my name.....

    Bingo.
    Tonight I too fell of the no-hooch-during-the-week wagon and BLERP, not just the winecalories, but the extra crackers,biscotti,caramel,chocolatecalories, not to mention the too-buzzed-to-exercise feeling...
    fooey.
