    Mondavi wines are amazing! I just got back from Napa/Sonoma this weekend and picked up a few bottles from Sebastiani & Imagery estates to take home for the summer. Could not be more excited :). Also, definite overload on the champagne and alcohol this past weekend after graduating with my MS. Now summer starts!

    Ohhhh!!!! Me and the hubby are going to Napa (and San Fran) at the end of July. We have never been to Napa before. Let me know if you have any tips. (And I love Sebastiani wines!)

    I managed to stick to zero last night. Hope to do the same thing tonight and tomorrow!

    "Here's to you and here's to me, and may we never disagree. And if we ever disagree, f*&k you, here's to me!" :drinker:

    Too funny, that was also my husband's fraternity song also! One of many!

    Its so easy to slip back into it isn't it!!!!! I have been keeping up with my workouts but I need some motivation, I fear I may fall off the horse SOON!!!!!!!!!! I've had two REALLY bad weekends in a row and its hard to get motivated after that!!!
    We can do it Robin, we just have to remember why we are making these changes....for our health and for our personal happiness!!!! XOXO

    I saw someone post on here somewhere once about what wagon/horse you were on. People worry about falling off the wagon, but she said you should really be changing your wagon. When we are regularly not exercising or eating well that is a wagon in and of itself. Changing your wagon so that you default is to eat healthy and exercise is the goal. In that case, falling off sometimes is natural. But since its now you're wagon, you'll get back on. I liked this thought process. I finally feel like after 4.5 months of "being on the wagon" I am now at default here. But that doens't mean I don't have to try of course!

    Thanks, I really need to step up my game this week because my lushy sister is coming next Thursday and staying until Sunday. It could definitely mean elimination.`````

    Gramma's biopsy came out fine =] AND the boyfriend offered to take her Kitty she's having problems with so we're getting 2 kitties this weekend and my Gram is very happy she doesn't have to put angel down And so am I because he's such a sweet boy.

    This calls for celebration tonight :drinker:

    In other news, not counting calories has been great and listening to my body has been working, here's to hoping it stays this way.

    Glad to see this thread exists!

    I am a total weekend warrior when it comes to drinking, but I'm so proud of myself, last night went out with the hub and took the role of designated driver. It made it a lot easier to get up for my 5:30 appointment with my personal trainer, that's for sure!

    It may have been discussed already, I only read the first and last two pages of this thread, but anybody ever heard of this method for calculating calories in wine?

    alcohol %
    x
    # of ounces consumed
    total
    x
    1.6
    your total number of calories consumed

    I found this info on this page: www.wineintro.com/basics/health/metabolism

    Where all the science is explained, and also some other fascinating things about metabolism. I have no excuse for not logging my booze calories anymore. Wah! or YAY! (depending. :wink: )
