    I decided to try something different this week. Mon and Tues I have had one glass of wine each...its very rare that a bottle gets opened and NOT finished, so this almost seems HARDER to do than just staying away all together! I'm wondering if I treat myself with one single drink a night, if at the end of the week that will add up to less than if I tried to stay away for 3-4 days and then went crazy! :drinker: We shall see. Any thoughts?

    I could see that working...The past few weeks, when I've tried to go without during the week, hubby and I have a blowout with the neighbors that involves shots and many, many, many drinks with vodka.

    Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday=0 drinks
    This must be some kind of record for me! I am going out with friends after work today and I am kind of tempted to not drink because I want to work out after and I won't do that if I drink.

    well, tonight I had a glass of merlot and then did not workout. Tomorrow was supposed to be a rest day so maybe I will trade, rest today, work-out tomorrow, before my massage-since that is supposed to be my reward for sticking to my training plan!

    Wow! Great topic! And so true too!! My problem is that if I did want to have a drink now and then I eat horribly!! It is like a license to eat freely and not even care!

    I do like to drink. I drink beer about 2-3 times a week and yes I know it is killing my diet, but what can I say? I like beer. I am trying Michelob lite ultra this week to see if it helps with the calorie thing. I only hope that the pounds come off enough to make up for the lack of taste.

    Hey joining in fellow lushes! I use alcohol as a pain/stress reliever WAY too much...it was starting to be almost nightly with one drink or glass of red wine at night...Since starting dieting Jan 1 I've been much better...maybe once a week? Of course I'm sitting here right now with a vodka and Diet Hansens. :) Oops.

    Just found this topic - excellent idea. I have not read every post, just page one at the moment and thought - this is a topic I need to be part of. I love a glass of wine or three, live in the Hawke's Bay region of New Zealand - how could you not drink wine here!

    So cheers to all - look forward to reading all your posts - now off to page 2!

    Just found a new Smiley as well:drinker:

    soooo my plan didnt really work :laugh:

    Wednesday= 4 glasses of wine. Had a nice night with the family though, and basically stayed within my calories for the day so oh well.

    I always drink on jersey shore night and then its the weekend, so i guess id better get my butt on the elliptical or something. Although the 12 inches of snow I have to shovel AGAIN should count for something! ugh.

    gaby have you tried the bud 55s? I feel like if you are going to sacrifice taste anyway I'd go as light as you can...they arent too bad, they do have less alcohol, but that could be a good thing LOL

    Wellllllll, I had one vodka-soda last night, but I stopped at one. I didn't workout either, but like Amy, I'll just trade my "rest" days. I did do 30 minutes of yoga yesterday, so I guess I did something.

    Welcome new lushes!
