    So I had 2 glasses of wine tonight, my first wine in 33 days :smile: wasn't even sure I wanted it that much but I was cooking with it and decided to pour myself a glass. Just when I was starting to enjoy my wine and chill out the guy I've been seeing decided to phone me and start a deep and meaningful. Seriously why can't life just be simple sometimes? Needless to say the rest of the wine disappeared pretty quickly after that, to be followed by a vodka. Ooh I'm going to feel terrible in the morning, hangover from the alcohol and the emotional crap, great feeling huh, I've been there enough times before!!

    Hey guys! New to MFP but I know exactly what you are all on about... :)

    Hadn't drunk a drop all week and then massively screwed up last night, 3 glasses of wine and a beer - Just about stayed within my calorie limits but right now I'm a teeny bit hungover and ALL I can think about is food!!! The stupid thing is I know i'm not actually hungry, but I'm trying to find distractions around the house and failing... i swear the hangover involves me going more off my healthy plan than the original drinking sesh!

    Beer, I love my beer, I try all different kinds from all around the USA and the world. Since I work the night shift, I don't drink beer on during teh week, BUT I will indulge ont eh weekends, but usually no more then 4-6 a night (two nigths) I won't have more then a 12 pack in the house, and since in Georgia you can't buy liquor on Sunday, I have to keep 6 for Sunday handy :)

    what can I say I love it...

    yeah that's how I am, when I play halo or call of duty I usually end up shooting my own team mates after too many!

    Oh and exercising so I can earn enough cals for a few shots or the other half of the bottle :wink:

    had neither, other half of the bottle now and a few ciders later, suns out, flat to myself, be rude not to :bigsmile:

    bump. We just got the Kinect and I love it. Played the Shark game last night with the kids and had fun jumping around. That has to count as some sort of exercise right???

    Fri - 3 bluemoons and I had Fetuccini for dinner. Went way over the Cals. Today is another day:) Have a good weekend everyone.

    The sun was out, it was my day off & it just seemed so perfect to sit outside & have some shots. Of course, today I have to do some extra exercises... & it's going to be another beautiful day in the PNW.

    Have a great wkend everyone!!

    Well, last night was my game group night and I did very good!! I took 2 cups of raspberry lemonade crystal light, with a shot of vodka- and that is all I drank! Then when I got home I drank a glass of water- this morning, very refreshed!

    Awesome job Kim
    Yvone, glad you were able to have the wine after the phone call. You have done so well.

    The sun is finally shining so I need to get out and get working on the yard so I need to keep this short.

    So last night my teeny tiny bottle of pinot grigio turned into a regular sized bottle and then it was chased with two vodka rocks.

    That being said - I have lost 3 pounds since Monday so I need to get back on the wagon. :bigsmile:

    Uggh yes I felt terrible this morning and I didn't even bother with the vodka, I ended up tipping it away, something I'd never usually do!
    Walked through the alcohol section in the supermarket earlier and didn't pick anything up, figured I might as well wait until I really fancy it.

    Great job Kim and Robin!!
    Yvonne, you've done soooo great. Next time turn the phone off..lol. :wink:

    0=Thursday
    0=Friday
    Can I do the whole weekend at zero? Hmmm. I will admit I white knuckled it a bit last night.
    Off to exercise.

    Yvonne, your kinda BF calls on a Friday evening and wants to get into a heavy discussion? Oh my, it's a wonder you didn't drink more. Men and children can surely lead us to drink. :wink:

    Faith, is it going to be shots tonight? Shall we expect lushy posts? I seem to recall you started out drinking something in between shots, was it water? Hopefully no blackouts! Guess I won't see the posts until tomorrow, DH makes me get off the computer at 9pm, guess he is afraid I will start lushy posting. :laugh:

    Robin, great going with the 3 pound loss!

    Oh, and there was somebody on the prior page who said they had a weigh in on Sunday. :noway: That must be brutal.

    "Oh Boy!" she says jumping up and down, "I love drunken postings"
    I hope you don't blackout. Worked outside all day today. beautiful weather. bright sunshine and 68-70 degrees. I had a beer and a Mikes hard lime. lots of calories but I was burning them off. ribs on the bbq for dinner with cole slaw and corn on the cob. bbq oysters for a starter. what a great day.

    I'm going wine today, it seems safer haha. Convinced the ex to come for my walk, so it will be on! Battle of fat vs skinny, who is the fittest? We shall see. I hope he pushes me hard and I earn many a wine. :devil: :smokin:

    I blew it! I had a tall vodka/soda with lime last night and I think I had 3 double shots of whiskey!:drinker: I didn't eat dinner though so I still stayed within calories. My husband decided we are having a bbq tomorrow so I'm sure i'll end up a little lushy then too:ohwell: . I think i'm gonna make bbq'd beer can chicken. I've never tried it before but it sounds like it'd be fun to do not to mention way healthier than some of the other bbq options. Now I got to come up with some good sides:wink:
    I have never tried this either but it does look good and healthy! I am not sure our grill is big enough for a chicken to sit upright on a beer can, though!
    Last night I had happy hour-dog walking with a vodka soda.


    I make it in my oven. It is sooo good. Just pour out a little of the beer, add some butter ( or light margarine) to the can along with some seasoning. I rub the outside of the chicken with butter or margarine and sprinkle Lawry's over it. Its pretty low cal if you don't eat the skin, but the skin is delicious!

    I walked for 90 mins. My car has crapped itself and I have lots and lots of cals spare so I am drinking some of them! I really can't afford to fix my car even with a loan from the ex so this will end up in a bad drinking sesh I'm sure. :laugh: :sad:

    lurking and checking up for updates...

    Faith, it would be a waste not to use those calories and you must be thirsty after all that walking :bigsmile:
