    Amy, you are definitely winning!! Great work!

    Heh, it never occurred to me that we had non-participating members. *waves at the silent peeps!* I was going to say "lurkers" but that sounds dirty. :laugh:

    So, I'm having a Skinny Girl Marg. :drinker:

    Sunday=lots
    Monday=0
    Tuesday=0
    Wednesday=1

    What quantity constitues 1 drink, 4 oz?? I count the whole bottle as 5. Just wondering how far this lush is off the alcohol meter...
    In bartender terms... a drink is considered a 4oz glass of wine, a 12oz beer, or a 2 oz shot/mixed drink....

    That's what I am wondering, is it considered a mixed drink or a shot...I guess I'll have to look at the alcohol content to figure it out...I been counting a bottle of 5...but, it could very well be 10

    Good job to all those doing so good this week! Well I said it was going to be a mellow dry night for me, but all of our friends are going to the free Cage the Elephant concert downtown so looks like we're in as well. Plus I'm feeling better. And I'm off work tomorrow.

    Next week is a new one.....I'll do better then.....

    Happy Cinco de Mayo!

    I drank way too much last night. And I lost a pound.
    I'm going to do my darnedest not to eat like crap today and keep that pound off instead of feeding my hangover.
    Happy cinco de mayo everyone! I'll be abstaining tonight i think.

    Happy Cinco De Mayo fellow Lushes! Hope everyone has a great celebration with no guilt! I've been saving up - no booze all week so I can have a couple of Patrón margis at Cantina Laredo. Now, to NOT eat that freakin fabulous Cascabel Ribeye....

    Cheers!

    Is it bad that my top two entries in my most used portion of my food diary are Sutter Home Moscato and Barefoot Moscato?
    On a positive note the scale was down another pound this morning....will log it tomorrow if it stays off!

    I am making shrimp stuffed chile rellenos tonight for dinner so I think it will involve shots of tequila.

    Kim you are doing great detoxing can be a good thing.
    Asjerven is seriously rockin the sober thing. very impressive.

    Enjoy your evening all. Even you silent lurking types.:wink:

    fri is drinking night. No idea what to get yet. Maybe if I ask the lady at the counter? I only have 900 cals to play with for dinner and my drinking. :sad: :drinker: The skinny margs sound cool but we don't sell that sort of mix I believe. Might try tequila or vodka with sf red bulls? or I dunno. Pouring my own shots is not the best idea. They just get bigger and bigger. I'll be over I'd say. :smokin:

    Dunno, it might be bad if your top 2 things are alcohol, but we're in the same boat, mine are Smirnoff rasberrry (witch I use for all the flavored smirnoffs, since its the only one listed on MFP) and bud lite. Already had me 3 shots, and happy cinco de mayo, though I'll have to save the real celibrating for tom. night, run day in the AM! :drinker:

    Sounds like a good plan :drinker: If that doesn't work out for you...google the skinny margaritas...the ingrediants are tequila, agave nectar & limes. But, I imagine the red bull will ENERGIZE you as well.

    We can do this Faith!!! We have to be stronger than the other lushes.

    FYI, the vodka can SNEAK:glasses: up on you before you know it...especially, if you aren't used to it...Drinker :drinker: Beware

    UGH Liquor store was out of Skinny Girl last night :sad: So we picked up a bottle of Sauza Blanco tequila and took some very good advice from Better Balance and got the lite margarita mix and oranges and limes and made us some pretty tasty margaritas!!! More calories than the Skinny girl BUT I'm sure more booze :happy: Of course, by the time we got home from our walk and picking up the stuff it was 730 before we had our first drink and dinner, but it was a great night AND I felt good this morning for our 515 gym date!!!
    Tonight dinner with my mommy for Mother's day and 1/2 bottle of wine...hey its only 2 (BIG) glasses and that's it! Hopefully :wink:
    Happy Friday Everyone!
