    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:

    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 :smile: 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? :wink:

    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

    Tenaya

    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:
