    Thanks, Robin. I am a lush. :drinker: I like it. :bigsmile: It relaxes me. :yawn: I like the buzz.:smokin:

    Can you set a moderate goal for the week? I think you are better at moderation than I am. I track here every week to keep it real and accountable. My numbers were in the upper 20's when I first started tracking. Just way too much. Or, do what Blondie does and measures out a respectable amount everyday. Find something that works for you.:flowerforyou:

    Oh, and don't give it up for the weekend. You'll be a Debbie downer like I was.:grumble:

    WTG Kim! I know I could make it through Monday through Friday not too bad, but weekends are so tough!!

    So, last night was a complete booze-fest, just like I had imagined. 10 people + 200 jello shooters = one helluva night! And don't forget all the mixed drinks on top of that. We just have way too much fun! I guess I'll just be working out a little extra this week. :ohwell:

    We had so much fun in Blackhawk--it was the first time I've ever been there. I drank WAAAAAAAAAAY too much, but I didn't really eat much so I guess my calorie intake wasn't that bad. :tongue:

    We're off tomorrow with the kids, so I'm going to be drink free tonight and tomorrow. For those of you that "caved" no worries! :flowerforyou:

    Forgive my serial posting, but I thought this was funny...

    Someone posted something about the kid in Iowa who refused to wrestle a girl in the state tourney because of religious beliefs. Anyway, someone started a thread about it and I posted a couple times and after my 2nd (and very, very, very long post) I left for the weekend and didn't see if anyone replied or what other people said. I went to see it today and it's not there...I think the thread got deleted. Ha!

    Hey everyone. I am very proud of myself. I made it through the weekend with only having 2 glasses of Merlot & 1 small glass of port on Friday night. This is the first weekend in a long time that I have not had a full on blow out at least one of the days. I treated myself to a rootbeer float on Saturday night since I was not drinking! I had not had one of those in a long time :)

    Wine is my weakness... just incorporate it into my calories.. try to be cognizant of how much so I dont lose out on the healthy calories.

    It's Monday night here and I am getting very lushy :drinker: Kim, if I may call you that, I am soooooooooo proud of you and think you are an absolute champion. I hope you have an amazing weigh in and reap the benefits. Thanks for sticking it out even though I didn't. You are an inspiration :flowerforyou:

    Have a fabulous weekend Amy!

    Well done delilah!

    WTG Kim! I've done okay since I last posted. But, of course, there were a couple gooduns' last week....Friday, and yesterday. Whew! But have kept the calorie count okay. BTW my new Doc, whom I'm not sure will work out, says to watch the sugar and carbs. NOTHING about drinking! I love that we have the reports.....I plan on taking them next time because I don't really have sugar, unless it's a rare piece of fruit. And my carbs are not bad at all, the good ones. Alas, the blood work shows different. I think it has ALOT to do with no exercise. So this week I will get in some of that.....oh boy! ....and keep up the habit that I dropped 6 years ago......and look where it got me.....large! Very! Hope all has a good week.

    Hello, fellow lushes. I am so glad to know that I am not alone. I have already stopped lushing throughout the whole week, but I'm still a bit of a lush nevertheless. (hiccup) I love you guys! I love this site and definitely this thread! A little improvement is better than none. I'm going to try NOT being a lush for the remainder of the week to see if I can come off of my plateau!

    I had a very boozy weekend, 3 glasses of wine on Friday, same on Saturday and 2 glasses last night. As usual because I have drunk more I have a stronger urge to have a drink again tonight, the more I have, the more I want. Well I'm going to aim for only 2 nights drinking this week but one of those nights might be a week night so I'm not committing to only drinking at the weekend this week. In fact I think it's probably better for me personally if I spread my drinking nights, rather than waiting all week then making up for it at the weekends. I might try to limit myself to 4 glasses of wine a week spread out however suits me best. Does anyone else limit themselves like this rather than the monday -thursday rule?

    So are we but I think our drinking will be limited since we will have grandboy with us. Normally happy hour is from 6-9, okay maybe 10 (yeah, dinner is waaaay late) but we will have to restrict to 5-7 happy hour and dinner at 7:15 or so on the cruise. Plus all the walking should help to offset the deserts! My oh my, we will probably be stuffing our faces. But maybe with better food than frozen lasagna and homemade taco's.

    Couple of drinks tonight, yea - I "could" go without them but I had a crappy day and promise not to make Monday night drinking a habbit (again!). Bad day, felt better when I waked through the door and husband (knowing how crappy my day had been) asked if I wanted a beer......hells yea I want a beer!

    Yvonne, I do the same thing...I don't limit myself to drinks per se, but I do set a limit on how many nights a week I'm going to drink (or really, how many nights without drinks) and then I take it as it comes. Right now, I'm trying to *not* drink anywhere between 2-4 nights a week...sometimes those nights fall on the weekends, sometimes not. I like doing it that way so if I have a function or whatever during the week, I can have a drink and not feel like I "failed".

    Speaking of...I'm enjoying a vodka soda right now. :drinker:
