    I think I am becoming a light weight...

    1 glass of wine pre-dinner at home...shared a bottle of wine with my girlfriend...another glass after dinner at the bar...went to another bar on the way home, 2 beers

    I FEEL LIKE *kitten* today....I even drank lots of water inbetween

    The song Thriller came on at the bar...my friend and I became zombies and stomped around to it...not a pretty site I'm sure...but, we had fun:bigsmile: The hubs just sit there and shake their heads.

    Monday, 5 drinks (1 bottle of wine)
    Tues - Thrus, 0 drinks
    Friday, 6 drinks

    Total: 11
    Goal: 12 to 14

    Still not 100% but oh so much better from Monday and the rest of the week. Hopped on the stationary bike today because I couldn't stand not working out any longer. Shed a little over a pound of water weight.

    I'm a light weight when I have something on an empty stomach, understandable. Had a Blue Moon before dinner last night and was buzzed, ended up having 4 total and was exhausted and went to bed haha.

    Going out tonight for dinner not only for date night but to celebrate the boyfriends birthday. When I asked if he wanted to get together with his friends he said no, guess they're going to some bar and he and I have been over the bar scene for awhile. I don't know how they do it. Wading through drunkards, screaming, sweaty, loud music .... :sick:

    Got a food scale today so I can get more accurate with food, upping my calories seemed to do the trick for my body, at least for right now. I'm sure that will also come in handy come Monday when my body starts getting beat up again from P90X :smile:

    Not sure if I'll go for beer or wine tonight for dinner but I'm going to get my gallon+ of water in before then.

    Hope you all have a wonderful Saturday :drinker:

    Are you still giving blood tomorow, Littlebunney? I'm just saying that it might not be a great idea after drinking tonight, not that you wouldn't of have thought about that yourself or anything...Just putting it out there!

    Not giving blood (especially with dancing right after), just helping out with the drive. Much easier and I don't feel guilty. ;D I tried only ONCE to give blood after a night of drinking. The dehydration that accompanies drinking made for a very VERY interesting time. No worries! :D

    okay not boasting or it may be the tequila talking but I am a chef goddess. The seafood stuffed chile rellanos and the seafood enchiladas with tomatillo sauce were freakin amazing. I am a great cook. the awsome avacado and other ingredients helped but OMG I am so happy. oh yeah and BTW hubs and I have finished off a bottle of Aha Toro Anejo. ooops!

    That sounds, absolutely, delicious.

    Went out to dinner for the boyfriends birthday that's on Wednesday. Close to home, quick service, amazing food. Back home now, watching Shark Men with the pups and about to start up Paranormal Activity 2.

    Had wine with dinner and now ending the night with Blue Moon =]

    Couldn't be a happier lush/girl. Such a good night :smile:

    Sounds like everyone had a great weekend, thus far!

    Robin, you *do* sound like a kitchen goddess!!

    We had my neph's 1st b-day party last night, and I was good...just stuck to 2 vodka sodas. My SIL isn't that great of a cook, so I didn't gorge myself on food either. :laugh:

    Sunday=2
    Monday=0
    Tuesday=0
    Wednesday=0
    Thursday=1
    Friday=2 (big cherry vodka/diets)
    Saturday=2

    So, 6 for the week...not too shabby!

    Well, I managed to overkill the week...last night was 2 martinis and 6-ish beers

    Total for the week: 19

    Stupid Groupons that I had to use or lose this weekend...We are NOT going out for a long time...especially, after our tax bill

    My weigh-in is going to SUCK!!

    rjadams Posts: 4,029 Member
    Kim, I think my overkill beats yours, 8 drinks not counting the kaluha in the morning or the beers 2 at lunch. I managed to do mine in the house with no excuse of being out! I can't beleive I drank half a bottle of tequila. I started out by making waboritas but then it was jus tequila and marg mix. I am not feeling too bad this morning, just a little rough around the edges.

    Well, it turned out to be a beautiful day here. Got some cleaning done, boyfriend is doing some laundry, pups are napping and there's a marathon of Shark Men on :smile: .

    It's now well past lunch time and is now Wine O'Clock, gotta have something to hold me over until dinner :drinker:

    So much for not drinking on Sundays haha, good thing I changed weigh in day.

    Cheers all

    I don't have a final count from the week. Bad week for me. And yesterday instead of being productive around the house, I went to lunch with my girlfriends where we split 2 bottles of wine between 3 of us and proceeded to drink 2.5 more at my house after. I was in bed by 8 I think. This week I am determined not to drink until Thursday. Need to get back on a schedule and get my house in order.

    Those Chile relannos sound awesome!

    I love sitting home and watching movies or DVR'd shows while getting my buzz on!

    Para Norm 2 sucked azz. The first was better. I was all jacked to see the second and we both were let down. :sad:

    Friday=4.5 beers. I had two at home then we went for burgers and I had one and then was working on the second when we realized we had to go and catch a movie. We saw Cedar Rapids. It was pretty good, small-town humor for sure.
    Saturday=2 drinks. I took a bottle of wine and sangria to a friends but I am not sure how much of it I drank.
    Sunday=0 drinks

    I have to take DH to the airport early. No big plans this week but there is beer in the fridge. We'll see how it turns out...

    Went swimming today, doesn't seem to burn off enough calories in relation to how hungry it makes you for the rest of the day :grumble:

    Well tonight I am going to finish the open bottle of white wine I've got in the fridge. Tomorrow is my last day off before I have to go back to work, those 10 days have gone way too quickly :huh: :sad: :grumble: :noway: :frown: :sick:

    Happy Monday :grumble: fellow lushes.

    Went to dinner Friday night and had 2 margaritas and it was downhill from there. :embarassed:

    I am not even going to attempt to count up how many I had. :glasses:

    Here's to a new week. :drinker:

    I hope everyone does well with their goals this week. :flowerforyou:

    So, Chris...am I to assume that you're done with your detox? :laugh:

    I'm my defense, I busted butt all weekend, working on the yard and spring cleaning the house. I earned my vodka! :drinker:

    New week for me....I've been eliminated from my competition...I'm up 2 lb.., probably due to a combination of things (bbq & booze on Saturday and started strength training last week)...funny thing is, it will probably be gone tomorrow.

    I really don't have a drinking plan for the week:

    Monday, to be determined...it is after all taco night with yummy drafts

    I am so glad I came across this thread!!! It seems like most of my "friends" on here are not big drinkers - but I am!! I love Corona and usually drink one or two a night unless its a weekend then I usually drink more. I have tried drinking Bud 55 and MGD 64 but they just don't taste very good. I have switched to Corona Light which is a little better calorie wise...anyways....so glad I found this thread and more lushes out there like myself! :laugh: :drinker:

    About 2 bottles of wine last night. So much for not drinking on Sundays haha.

    I had 12 glasses of water before the wine and then 6 more after, so luckily no hangover, which is good because I'm starting up another round of the X, finally. Still not 100% better but it's to the point where my work out won't suffer and I really, really miss my weights and pull up bar. We'll see how Chest and Back goes :smile:

    I changed my weigh in day so, no drinking until Friday night, definitely keeps me motivated to stay away from the sauce during the week.

    Chris, Paranormal Activity 2 was okay, definitely different from the first. As with the first one, the boyfriend fell asleep so he didn't see the second one either haha.

    Well, good luck to all on their weekly goals! :smile:

    I actually did okay yesteday. Only a little kaluha in the morning and on little tiny goldschlager before bed. I wasn't really feeling like drinking. Okay maybe it was the whole bottle of tequila the night before that made me feel like that. Its a new week. so I think it will be good.

    Friday-2 beers and 3 cherry vodkas & diet coke
    Saturday-4 beers
    Sunday- 1 1/2 beers and three glasses of wine

    Not too bad for the weekend. Of course, I did still manage to go over calories all three days BAD :grumble: ! I refuse to weigh myself again until saturday (instead of everyday, like a crazy person :laugh: )....just couldn't bare the thought of being WAY up this morning so I made my husband put the scale in the guest bathroom, so I won't be tempted!!!

    I do plan on having wine every night this week.....just cause I'm PMSing and I want it cause I'm cranky and it'll help when things get on my nerves......

    I am too. Sorry to any guys on this post haha. Luckily I don't get cramps but I do get one heck of an attitude. Most everything annoys me, on top of being cranky when I'm simply tired, I've even more tired during this time so it's about twice the grumpy.

    Looks like drinks are in the mix for Thursday. My bestfriend needs some friend/de-stress time, so we're going to get some stuff, make dinner at my place and have some drinks. I'll be good though as weigh in day is Friday.

    Is it bed time yet? :yawn:

    My poor husband....he gets the worst of it.....I usually send a warning via text before I get home if its real bad so he knows I don't hate him :explode:
