Hope I don't sound stupid asking but what the hell does bump mean?

Wow! I'm so glad I found this thread! Happily into 2 margaritas for my birthday celebration...thinking of getting a little exercise, even with a small buzz on! Time to dance!!
**clink** Cheers!

**UPDATE** This is a cautionary tale. I decided to do a Golds Gym Dance Workout after having 2 margaritas yesterday and now I have to admit that wasn't such a good idea after all! I threw my back out jumping rope. I managed to make it through the rest of the day either bent over or in the hot tub, on muscle relaxers, 600 mg of ibuprofen and 1 tall skinny girl margarita, 2 tall sangrias and a beer before hitting the sack at 8:30. Today I had to go to the doctors and got a shot of Toradol. So no workouts for me for a while and definitely no drinking before a workout again!!

Friends coming over tonight to help with the basement and bro-in-law and his son coming for dinner on Wednesday. I'm going to try for alcohol free tonight but we'll see. Usually the friend and I polish off a couple bottles of wine. I'm feeling crappy b/c of allergies, so may refrain only for that.

Off to a good start on the week.
Monday 0 drinks. it wasn't that hard yesterday.

Yvonne, good luck on forgoing the month of May. I could never do that with my anniversary and Birthday thrown into the month. I am sure you will do it though. You are so strong willed.

Mskatec22 - I don't like to exersize buzzed for that exact reason.

faith - I am sure you will lose it again. Wish I could say the same for the 20pounds I put back on since last August.

Monday, 5 Dos Equis, 1/2 Miller Lite

Tuesday is questionable...Plan is for zero drinks today although I start the competition tomorrow and this would be a final HOORAY:drinker: :drinker:

Cinco de Mayo is Thursday and that should really be the only day that sets me back...I work the weekend; so, that should a no-brainer, right??

rjadams

You can do it Kim. Stick with me this week. just think zero's for the rest of the week. we can do it together.

5 dos equis so you already celebrated cinco de Mayo early so no need to do it again on thursday. (but of course I will support your choices what ever they are!)

Indeed, I often joke that I'm a lush. I love me a cocktail or two after a stressful day. And I love hanging out with hubby on Saturday nights, mixing drinks, and watching movies. I try to only have a Saturday night drinking fest every two weeks, but sometimes it's every Saturday. And then I really try not to drink during the week, but last night I had a glass of wine. Just one. But it was delish!

I'll definitely not consume tonight to be in solidarity with you. However, my gf and I were already discussing comsumption on Thursday. I think they are having activities such as bobbing for avocados, frozen t-shirts contests, DJ, etc...

The Cinco festivities around here are amateur night, so we usually stay home...

So, the trip to Moab. We left the house at 10 a.m. I started drinking around 10:45. During the trip, we got the car up to 140 mph, ran out of gas about 10 miles into Utah, paid a hippie $40 to drive us 2 miles to the gas station and back. We got to the campsite...it was WINDY! So we drank more, slept in the car. Next morning...ate breakfast, went hiking around the park, saw the wedding, started drinking, hiked, kept drinking, drank some more. At 6 p.m. decided it was too frelling windy to stay and camp, so we left. We did.not drink. Vail pass was scary, we made it home in just under 6 hours and I DID NOT drink at all yesterday.

Fin.

Hi all!!

Well since I started MFP me and OH have been pretty good with reducing our alcohol intake. However last week was just a total write-off LOL - starting with Good Friday. Wine, beer, gin *sigh* And no exercise (we were away most of the week so although I took my resistance bands and the Turbo Fire Tone 30 DVD with me I only got a chance to use it once). Whoops.

We have a half-bottle of red wine to finish - am sure that will go tonight after horse riding - and then that's it for the next 2 weeks at least!! :drinker:

I am a fan of those skinny margs...you can mix them with a little perrier if you'd like because they can sneak up on you:sick:

I think they also make jello shots that are marg flavored...I was going to look for the "recipe" and make a few...a friend of mine want to have jello wars...anybody have super creative ideas so that I can come out TOP LUSH

So Friday, my plan was to drink wine and some vodka, but I only ended up doing the wine.

Friday: 2 - 4 oz. servings of Moscato

This weekend might be the vodka! :-)

Due to lack of food in the house and needing calories ... 4 glasses of wine last night.

Boyfriend will be late at work all this week, so it may be a lushy week. Nothing like kicking back with the pups watching my shows and having a few glasses to enjoy some alone time I'd rather have wine than order cheese steaks everynight! Well not really but for some reason the wine seems like the lesser of two evils :drinker:

I'll be needing over 2500 calories today and will try to fill them mostly with food but need to spread the food out over the next few days so I see wine in my night tonight as well. Once we go grocery shopping this weekend, I'll get back to the dry week, boy does that sound like the lushiest statement or what :noway:

Another alternative to skinny girl and i think just as good (if not better) is just taking tequila and mixing with carb free (sugar free) margarita mix, a little triple sec and a fresh lime slice. The mix has about 10 calories for 8 oz, so a rocks glass size provides about 100 calories for 1 drink. I was drinking those last month and ran out of mix. I may have to get more.

I have been thinking about detoxing for a week or two. However my husband and I are trying for babies so I figure once I get prego, I'll have to detox for 9 months, so I might as well get it all in now right?

Wow am I glad to have found this Topic. Here I thought I was the only one struggling to give up the rum I so enjoy and lose weight at the same time. I try to go without but it's so hard on the weekends!!! The problem is, when I drink, the next day all I want to do is EAT!!!!!!!!!!!! If I could get up and exercise the next day like some of you mentioned . . . that would be awesome. That is the only thing that gets rid of alcohol is to work it off within 24 hrs (heard that from somewhere).

Anyway, glad to know I'm not the only one that likes to drink and can be accepted and not criticized for it. WHOOO HOOO!!

Happy May all! Still new but loving this thread. Weekend away on the motorcycle led to overconsumption of alcohol. Not even worth counting. Hungover Monday, but worked today and just finished Kenpo X decided to celebrate feeling better with a little vodka in my water. Hoping everyone is having a splendid start to May

I did try that skinny girl marg and it is was decent but it went super fast. I was drinking from a pint glass like I normally do with margs and it was gone in a snap. It tasted ok though! Oh well... :drinker:

I am back on Three Olives Dude Vodka with diet supernova mtn dew. Its a great drink!

I thought about detox for a bit but hey pffftttt who needs that! :sad:

Totally off subject but what kind of dog is that in your pic? It looks just like mine did about a year and a half ago!

Woohoo day 1 of no alcohol :happy:

However sod's law has dictated that now I've decided to give up alcohol for the month my friend has invited me out for drinks on Friday and I haven't seen her in months :grumble:
