Oh yeah and how do I post my ticker?
No drinks since Sunday for me. Being broke keeps me sober!
None for me either. Not having any until Friday when the boyfriend and I take his parents out to dinner.0 -
I was so proud thinking that I hadn't had any alcohol since the 1 drink at the bowling alley Sunday afternoon. Then I realized that today is only Tuesday. Wow, one whole night without a drink, lol. I don't think that should feel like such an accomplishment, but I'll take it anyway.0

Yeah, I:noway: know, I can hardly believe it my self but I am really on a role. I just wish something would happen with my waist. Being 50 (almost 51) I all too familiar with what happens to your metabolism. (and perimenopause and now full blown menopaus, oh joy oh joy) It is frustrating when you do all the right things (eat 1450 calories) and exersize moderately (walk for an hour at 3.5 t0 4.5 on various inclines) include strength training 3 days a week and I still gain weight. I noticed that my metabolism was shot to hell back in the early 90's when I tried the Norplant as a birth control. It totally wrecked me I went from 130 to 160 in two months and I have struggled with it ever since even though I had the thing removed in two months.
So to all you youngin's out there don't take it for granted and things WILL change as you get older. it gets a whole lot harder.
I certainly don't take it for granted. It's why I've strived to be healthy my whole life and especially now. I want to be healthy for when I have children and be able to teach them how to live a healthy lifestyle. I'm not and never was one of those young kids who said "oh I can eat anything and not get fat" I always knew about skinny fat. Skinny doesn't mean healthy and I've always known that. To be healthy you've got to live a healthy lifestyle, exercise and a diet full of healthy unprocessed foods. Of course genetics plays a part as well. Some people never struggle with weight no matter what their age, others, such as my bestfriend, have struggled since they were little.0 -

A whole night is better than no night! So good for you =]0 -
This week is not starting off so good. I have a horribly sinus infection and my throat hurts and the only thing that makes it feel better is wine. :blushing:0

I battled a cold/flu the first few weeks when I was trying to get serious about logging my food/exercise and it really set me back. I hope you feel better soon!
They say a shot of whiskey helps too.0 -

I think it was psychologically making me feel better.
On the upside, I've lost my appetite so the liquid calories aren't hurting too badly.
Thanks, the whiskey would probably be a better route!0 -
I'm going to have a glass of wine tonight, just because I fancy one :-) :drinker:0

Yvonne, I fancy one as well...but, won't have oneAlthough, I put a nice red in my pot roast and marinara sauce and in the back of my mind I was thinking how it would be with dinner. I am going to stay strong this week
Natasha, SoCalWomen...Isn't the whiskey supposed to be a hot toddy when you are ill...hot tea (opens sinues), honey (sooths throat) and whiskey (makes you sleep well) :bigsmile:
It's official: I'm pretty sure....
Sunday, 0 drinks

Off to Zumba to shake some hips and booty as well as banking those calories burned0 -
You're doing great Kim!! I hear Zumba is lots of fun. My girlfriend swears by it.
I on the other hand, appear to enjoy torture and just subjected myself to another round of Jillian. I swear that woman makes me want to take ice picks straight to my ear drums. :grumble:0 -
Well done on the willpower Kim, mine has taken a temporary leave of absence, not that I'm searching for it!0

SoCal, I agree. I have the same reaction to her!! :explode:0

I did the 30 day slimdown with 3 of her DVDs...the results were great; but, I cannot bear the thought of hearing her voice anymore.
The music is like from the early 80's when workout video first came out...whoever was in charge of the music should be FIRED. There so much great music out there and that's the best they could do...CHEAP BUDGET
I really do like Zumba, but here's how I feel:
1) I am a really out of shape white woman
2) I feel like I'm in the scene from Dirty Dancing when they are giving lessons to all the fuddy duddies, uncoordinated and bumping into each other.0 -

Tuesday - 2 bottles of wine. I did get an extra workout in as I did hip hop abs WHILST drunk. :laugh:
I feel great today though. Just wish this humidity and heat would go away so I can jump on the treadmill.
Robin you are a champion!!
Keep up the awesome work Kim :flowerforyou:
Also thanks to my fellow lushes who read my epic drunken post last night. :laugh: :blushing:0 -
I am so glad I just discovered this group! This is exactly what I posted about last night! I always drink on the weekends and I felt terrible until I saw this group, it is great! Question that I have is what do ya'll drink? Cause my fav drink is Miller Lite but I feel like I need to focus on low-cal drinks.

So glad I found people with the same "habit"...
I need you guys for weekly (daily) support so please add me as a friend if you can. It will be much appreciated!! Lol0 -
alright, I had alot of calories left today and I have done so well. So I am having a couple of glasses of wine. Not the whole bottle and it has been a while. I just really "fancy" one like Yvonne said, so I am giving in. I did good on this run and I know I can do it again if I want to. I just don't want to abstain anymore right now:blushing: So on to some moderation. :drinker:0

Robin...watch...you will drink the wine, the scale will drop 3 lbs tomorrow...your body will welcome the wine with open arms and give you the weight loss...it's holding pounds as hostage0
