    I'm not the only one on here!
    I was so excited to find 0 calorie margarita mix today and needed someone to share it with! Who knows how long its been there, but I just found it (my store hides the alcohol from the rest of the store so if you don't go lookin' you won't find it).

    Gonna enjoy some margaritas this weekend!

    most nights its just white wine, but special occasions.....tequila!

    I started July off by celebrating Canada Day with some Canadian friends yesterday. I know I lost count how many drinks I had but I stuck to Malibu Rum mixed w/Sprite Zero or 10 calorie Tropicana Fruit Punch. So, here's to a weekend of working (at least for me) and maybe a couple days w/o alcohol?

    0 yesterday and still 0 today so far.
    I've been slacking on the exercising though, and it's starting to show..I feel sluggish and the scale inched up.
    I did manage to put in some workout time today. More of the same the rest of the weekend is a must. Especially if I decide to have a cocktail or 2...which knowing me, I will. :drinker:
    Hope everyone's enjoying their weekend. It's finally summer in So Cal...I turned on our A/C for the first time!

    I had a couple shots last night, but that was it...Of course, I started the shots at 10 and didn't go to bed until 1 because I was dealing with my drunk and sad neighbor. Ah, the things we do for our friends. :drinker:

    Tonite? Maybe a glass of wine. We're having a quiet holiday weekend since we all got crazy on vacay recently.

    Also doing vodka/soda - minus the balls (just an old, tired, somewhat brown skinned, lime) tastes great though :laugh:

    Spent the last part of the afternoon baking cookies for tomorrow (chocolate, peanut butter chip and regular chocolate chip) and I only tasted a 1/2 of cookie thus far...yay me!

    Then made an awesome dinner of stuffed artichokes, grilled eggplant and baked brie on 5 grain french bread. Still over my calories though :ohwell: ...think I might go for a walk.

    Everyone have a great 4th! :drinker: I :heart: my country!

    Holy crap!! stuffed artichokes sound amaaazing!! care to share the recipe? I wish i liked eggplant..i'm not much of a fan..but if i do eat it..must.be.grilled.
    speaking of grilled..do you ever grill artichokes? :tongue:

    Ok..it's clear i'm getting hungry. I marinated skirt steak for the grill (been in the fridge since 9am) and have white corn on the cob soaking in the husks for the grill as well. made some of my famous salsa. (tomatoes, jalapeños, green onions, roasted green chiles, cilantro) i'll probably skip the tortillas..but have a few homemade flour ones from my SIL that everyone else will probably eat.
    i logged all this early in the day so i'd be ok. and am now on #2 of the vodka/soda/watermelon concoction. still 300 cals left. *fingers crossed*
