I'm quite the lush .... I've been trying to cut back but man, I just like my Jack and Ckaptain too much, haha!

I blame it on my Scot-Irish heritage, haha! :drinker:

Nice to meet everyone!

Glad the cruise was great and you had a wonderful time. Can't wait for our next one.

Kim and Faith, remember - drinking will dehydrate you which will mean a few less ounces on that scale. Maybe you both should have a few tonight. :drinker:

:laugh: :laugh:

I've done well this week, just one night on it all week. In saying that I had a miller, a white wine and about 10 vodkas. We're going to the cinema this week to try and keep me on track and losing, I've gotta shift the rest of this weight to fit into my bridesmaids dress asap!

Just back from a lovely holiday in Kent where we quaffed many a pint of local ale and cider. Mmm! Now I'm broke and can't afford any booze until pay day! Ah well, keeps the calories down!

bbecker613

girlontheseesaw

Is it terrible that I woke up this morning and the first thing I thought was, 'whoohoo! half a bottle of wine tonight!'

I am looking forward to it though ...

Last night I decided I wasn't hungry at all and so I polished off a lovely pinot noir. the really weird thing is that I feel really drunk this morning. one bottle of wine at 5:00 last night I should feel this way this morning. but I do. it is kind of scary.:noway:

kblue2007

Robin,
That's crazy.....makes the mornings go better but afternoon now thats a different story!!! Good luck and I hope you have a good day

Had Dogfish Head Black and Blue last night.....DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tonight Lagunitas Hop Stoopid and possibly 1/2 a Fegley's Hopsolutely..... I LOVE IPAs :drinker:

So its Philly beer week and we might not get a chance to get out and try anything so we loaded up on some delicious (never had) craft beers over the weekend.....spent a ridiculous amount of money too!!!! So I decided to forego my usual wine and split a beer a night with my husband. Last night was Dogfish Head Theobroma (its a chocolate beer with chiles and trees spices, not at all what you'd expect from a chocolate beer, it had a golden color and had quite a citrus smell....very very good...9%abv)....we split the 22oz and I have no idea how many calories were in it, but I saved myself 300 to be on the safe side.
Tonight is Dogfish Black and Blue 22oz...splittng it of course, so 11oz is 266 calories, not too bad!!!! Its a Fruit beer, which I like every once and a while but it IS dogfish head so its gotta be pretty decent!!!! Oh and its 10% abv
Enjoy your day!!!

I love Dogfish Head's beers. My favorites are the IPA's specifically the 120 min IPA.

I would so love to try that Chocolate one! :drinker:

Monday, 3 glasses of wine
Tuesday, 1 glass of wine

Total: 4

Anyone else find they're not quite as, umm, regular when you don't drink for a few days running? However much I cram my diet with high-fibre food, fruit and vegetables, it takes a couple of glasses of red to get things moving and get a weight loss!

chrisyoung0422

I was sooooo hungover sunday I ate so much food.....wawa chicken salad shorti with 1/2 bag of kettle chips, chicken lo mein/friend rice/general's taos chicken/egg roll, reese's milk shake and 1/2 bag of pretzels....it was seriously ridiculous, I was about 1500over calories for the day...but it sure helped my hangover :laugh:

If I really rock it the night before (and I mean really like you can feel the hangover headache while you sleep and you wake up so dry you are coughing) I seem to always find my lushy hungoverness craving some serious mexican or chinese food. I literally eat my face off and then not only am I hung over the rest of the day but now bloated and salt shaker like.

Chris we had the Sah'tea that other day too and it was really nice. Dogfish head makes and amazing beer. We are going to the brewery this summer....can not wait!!!!!
I've never had their 120min, its really hard to find, but I have enjoyed their 60 and 90 min!
If you can get a hold of the world wide stout, try it out, its pretty amazing and VERY high in ABV, think we spent 9bucks on one 12oz beer.......

As I'm getting older I notice that hangovers last atleast two days :laugh: I used to be able to kill it friday night, saturday and sunday all feeling great that monday....now if I drink too much saturday, monday I'm still recovering. But as you can see that hasn't stopped me, haha!!!

nll002

I've gone a week and a half without and it's killing me!! It is incredibly hard to sit through the NHL playoffs without a drink in my hand! I feel like something is missing! I'm trying to hit a mini goal in the next 2 months, so I'm using a reward to convince myself to avoid alcohol - I'm going to Las Vegas in August. Every time I think about a drink (or some really good tasting/bad for me food) I remind myself that nothing around here is going to taste as good as all the booze I will be downing in Vegas!

amysj303

I am going to Vegas in July but I don't think I could not drink til then! when you get there you will be such a lightweight, you'll probably get drunk on one drink-but that will save money
Last night I had half a bottle of wine, it was a savignon blanc. I feel a little hungover today. Allergies too, yuck.

Here here on the hangovers! Gross! I am going to abstain tonight (a pregnant friend will be there so that shouldn't be too difficult) but will surely drink a ton of beer tomorrow When you cheer for the Kansas City Royals, you have to!

Chuisle-Great before and after bikini shots....Looking Good

We're going to the cinema this week to try and keep me on track and losing, I've gotta shift the rest of this weight to fit into my bridesmaids dress asap!

I did well last night -- no drinks, and a hard workout at the gym! Tonight we are going to the movies, but unlike you Jingly, this is not an attempt to stay on track. We're going to the Alamo Drafthouse, which serves dinner and drinks! It is super-awesome but I know I will have a drink, no matter how much I claim right now I won't. I think I am gonna try white wine. I find I sip on it slowly...so I will have less. AND way less calories than all the yummy craft beers I like there. Hopefully just a glass or two.

Half-way to the weekend!

Chuisle -- you do look awesome!

I've been to the Alamo Drafthouse when I was visiting my sister in law in Austin....what an amazing idea. We always wanted one in our area....AND we are finally getting one :happy: YAY!!! It's not a Alamo Drafthouse but something similar...Movie Tavern!!!!
