    ended up working overtime yesterday and didn't feel like cooking so no rellenos last night. Instead I made strawberry margs. I needed to use up some strawberries I had n the fridge.

    Faith you did great. I couldn't type if I were on my 14th shot.

    Yes...how ya doing this morning Faith? :drinker:

    Kate, glad you liked the margs.

    Ended up at the chow wagon which is basically like the state fair on the waterfront for Derby. Drinks were ridiculous but that didn't stop me from having 3 Miller Lite aluminum cans (not usually a domestic girl but you get what you can), and 2 glasses of decent white. Had a Brooklyn Summer Ale with pizza before. We walked around a lot which I totally counted and was over by 200. Not bad. So....

    S - 5
    M - 0
    T - 3
    W - 5
    R - 6ish
    F - who knows...have the day off and my husband and I plan on watching the Oaks races on TV and betting online. I already did my last day of Level 2 Shred (thank God that level is over) and plan on a longish run since I'm not working and its beautiful outside.

    Happy Friday lushes!!

    HEY FAITH! IS THIS TOO LOUD?? :devil:

    Hee, hee, my freshman year of college, we could see into a friend's room in the dorms. (Our dorms were curved and he was 3 floors below us...perfect shot.) When we knew he was massively hung over we'd prank call him and say things like, "Tuna fish milkshake!) and then watch him run to the bathroom. Good times.

    So, I'm weak. It was a crazy night last night, and the neighbor, who *didn't* have to work today, wanted to try out the Skyy Passion Fruit vodka she just bought. So, I had 3 of those (with club soda and some mushed strawberries...we used what we had in the house...I really need to go to the store.)

    Oh, I had a cherry and diet and a beer too. Me no feel so good today. :laugh:

    So, do you see any benefits from not drinking? 5 days is really impressive. Well, for me, it is anyway.

    7 glasses of wine last night and not enough sleep due to getting up and getting both work outs done before spending the day with Mom and Gramma. Have a ton of Cal's for today as the boyfriend and I are taking Mom and Gram out to dinner and I want one coconut lime marg :smile:

    Have a great Friday all :drinker:

    Well, the scale was down a little bit but I am not trying to lose, just trying to tone up. I don't feel better seem to sleep better. I haven't gone 5 days without drinking, not for years. I was going to do these two weeks of no sugar or flour and alcohol seemed like something to cut as well. I will let you know after two weeks if I feel better.
    DH isn't drinking either and he got a cold, he thinks maybe he would have killed it off if he was drinking!

    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:
    I'm with ya! Not only to they get bigger the time inbetween shots tend to get smaller!

    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:

    You got me thinking with the raspberry smirnoff thing and i tried it with soda water and fresh lime juice... It was awesome and very low cal :drinker:

    So, I'm really proud of myself so far this week. I've done great cutting back my drinking. Last week I went through 3 or 4 fifths of whiskey, about a case of beer, and numerous other random mixed drinks!

    Sunday- 2 shots of whiskey
    Monday- 1 bloody mary, 1 red beer
    Tuesday- 3 vodka/soda, 1 white russian (hubby took me out for dinner :love: )
    Wednesday- Nothing!
    Thursday- 1 glass of wine

    I still have the weekend though but I think i'll do okay... I'm working today and tomorrow and going to the lake Sunday for mothers day. Might have to have a couple beers lake-side but that should be the extent of the damage :drinker:

    I think I am PMSing. Really bad day. Started off with weird dreams, my pedometer broke as I put it on this morning. then at work something I had to get done before 7 AM and my account was revoked for some unexplicable reason. Got it back at 6:45 and got stuff done by 8. boss and psuedo boss treat me like a old lady secretary. I have an MBA and I was a Regional Finance Director for 10 schools in the past. I changed careers but I am still leadership material and not a glorified office clerk. I was so frustrated and PO'd today I was constantly on the verge of tears. I had to reboot my freakin computer 3 times because of issues. Like I said really crappy day. so I bought two bottles of chardonnay and a bag of chips to eat with some of our home made salsa. Happy weekend Lushes!!!!!:drinker:
