    Kim, I've been contemplating occurrence vs. quantity and I think for me, I might be better off "allowing" myself 1 drink a night, because on the weeks where I don't drink, don't drink, don't drink, DRINK...I really drink. Weeks when I drink every night, I'll have one and call it good. Hmmmmmmmmmm...

    Last week might not be the best example though, because I had NO intention of drinking on Tuesday until "The Great Work F**k Over of 2011".

    I had a couple of weeks where I decided I would not limit drinks, just be sensible. Like you Amy I thought that if I deprived myself all week when I do drink I drink too much. Have to say though it didn't really work for me, one glass most nights turned to 2 glasses pretty much every night and even though I stayed under my calories I ended up gaining a little weight.

    I think in future I will probably try to limit my drinks overall, set a maximum target of something like 2 bottles of wine a week. That will give me the option to drink in the week if I want to but then I won't be able to drink so much at the weekend. I'm doing fine at the moment as for some strange reason I don't really fancy alcohol.

    Well, Friday I drank quite a bit. I made a marg at home, then went out for pizza and split a couple of pitchers, but there were 3 of us and the glasses were small so, I don't know how many I had. Then DH went somewhere else and I had two more pints of coors light.
    Saturday I was at a baby shower and we didn't drink much, but later we had small glass of wine, then went to a Mexican place for dinner and had a dos xx amber.
    Sunday I had two red sangrias.
    Today I am going to happy hour with a friend, I think I will drink Vodka sodas, maybe two.
    dinner with the in-laws tomorrow, so probably I'll drink something, we'll see where we go.

    Dino, sounds like the party was pure success:drinker: Was he super surprised?
    Amy, doesn't the week REALLY start today!?...:bigsmile:
    Natasha, yep, it turned out fine...SPD brings out the Irish in all of us...Was it fun at BWWs?

    Tonight is 75 cent taco night with 3.50 34oz beers...I refuse to start the week this way especially since the plan is to have some legendary consumption on SPD :drinker: :drinker: So, I may just get some lunch meat for sandwiches - or - tacos tonight with taco themed salad.

    I weighed in at 179.0 today and lost nearly everything I gained the week before...so, I just need to lay of the booze and hope to lose another pound this week...would LOVE :heart: to hit 177ish..

    peace out!

    Monday - 1 glass of wine, well look at that I stopped at 1!

    Cause I have a job interview this morning I can't be hungover for. I am soooo nervous. Am I doing the right thing leaving my job? I've already come back to this company once, but I'm soooo over the crap and no support from higher above me. I have also busted my *kitten* for a year on casual and not been promoted to full time work, which is ridiculous. Then I may have two new job prospects and which one would I choose if I got both? Ugh this is so horribly stressful. I am definitely drinking tonight. :drinker: I apologise for the rant, but I can't rant anywhere else, they'll know I plan to resign. :laugh:

    Good luck to everyone on their goals this week. :heart:

    Yes the party was a super success and I actually switched to ice water for about an hour at one point, so yes I was trashed, but not as bad as I could've been. My husband doesn't drink when we go out and I drink, and I do the same for him (although not as often). He is just no much of a drinker, so we were safe!

    Faith, glad you did so well on the job interview! Way to go and you deserve that drink!

    Kim, scary about the needle stick, I have one of those tests on my "treatment plan" script which of course I am putting off until I 'quit drinking' baaahaaa :laugh: :laugh: That's one test that will never be done.

    Robin, how is the new week /new goal plan going?

    We are still drinking but we have an excuse, our kitchen cabinets are in but we have no sink or running water in the kitchen. I am heating up water in the microwave and pouring it in a plastic tub to wash dishes. I feel like a pioneer woman. And they always kicked back with a shot or two at night didn't they? Whoops, maybe that was the bar girls. :bigsmile:

    What happened to our lady from England? Can't remember the name (shame on me) but she was a regular for awhile.
