    I had my 250ml today, very proud of my rationing:happy: Dh did wonder what was the yellowish coloured liquid in a funny container on the fridge, "not having any doctor check ups are you:noway: he asked". I had to dig hard in the cupboards to find a wee glass at home. I I put 50ml in my usual size wine glass it barely touches the bottom of the glass. So.. having found a glass (which incidentally was taken one night from an Indian restaurant so I could finish my wine in the car journey home - no - I wasnt driving) 50ml makes it LOOK like a glass of wine... its all in the mind...
    I just cannot drink soft drinks with my dinner..yuk.... need that little wine kick with my main meal..
    I am saving a few calories for the weekend for a real top up though:bigsmile:
    But marching by the supermarket aisle with the deep rich red cabernets, ignoring those cheeky wee chillieans, and as for a dark rich Bordeaux, I am BLIND:ohwell:
    Now, if only it was summer..I would go on the iced spritzers:glasses:
    Meanwhile, not a bad day here in the Blondie household.. detoxing is agreeing with me:wink:
    Night all!

    Whoot, Kim!

    1 Monday
    0 Tuesday

    Tonight is Hubby's night at grad school, and I'll have our 2 plus the neighbor kid for a few hours...I might need to stop for some wine.

    I always drink in the car when DH drives. It's a bad habit. :blushing:

    Good luck on no smoking! And congrats to those that have quit. My new Dr. is having me renew my efforts to quit smoking, so quit date is this Sat. He has me on Wellbutrin to help (will be on it for a wk this Sat). Hope it does! THEN, he'll get after me about the drinking and weight, I bet!! lol Well, I am still not drinking and, gee, lost 3.5 lbs just this week. I NEED to do this, I CAN do this!

    Love this site, I don't feel so alone!

    Hello lushes,
    Congrats to those of you that are trying to quit smoking as well as reduce the drinking. I know I only smoke 1/2 as much a day when we are not drinking. Need to have more of those days. I can't imagine drinking and not smoking so will be interested to hear how it goes.

    Tuesday=0 drinks! it was a struggle, but I did my 3.5 mile run and came home and had a salad. I had only 300 calories remaining and was still hungry, so instead of going to the tavern with DH I had a three chicken wings and chips and salsa leftover from Superbowl. Anyway, not the healthiest choice but I was only over a little, instead of a lot with a beer and sandwich and fries!

    Changing doctors is always a challenge! I changed from a long term doctor because he wouldn't give me natural thyroid medication that I wanted. The 2nd doctor was an integrative doctor but he gave me thyroid medication from a mail order pharmacist. Finally, my 3rd doctor was wonderful--She listened to me and I am now on the correct thyroid medication. Before I see my doctor, I write out questions for the visit. Good luck with your new doctor!!

    I am so happy to find this. Especially after the last two days that I have had. I have had some relationship issues, and I have been so upset and stressed. I couldnt take it anymore. I havent smoked since Christmas and have cut my drinking back to once a week and lately less than that. But I broke last night under the stress bought a pack of smokes and had 10 vodka and waters and smoked half the pack!

    generally if I have a drink, I cannot work out later. The only time I did was when I was doing 30DS for 30 days straight and I couldn't workout before meeting friends for happy hour. It was tough to workout with a buzz!
