    What up lushes??

    I wasn't too bad, despite the camping...damn kids...keeping me in check! (I kid, for those of you new to the thread.)

    I had a few beers, a few vodka red bulls, and that's about it.

    No drunk posts...no cell service to speak of.

    However, I managed to not burn my feet or lose my *kitten*. :laugh:
    Well then you must not have had enough fun:glasses: !!! My phone was on warranty so they sent me a new one but this piece of crap is like from 2004ish... it takes me like 10 minutes to text one freakin' sentence, I want my full keyboard back!!

    Robin, drinking on the weekends only is definately the way to go! I was drink free all the way to Friday. I got smashed at my bar and said things I shouldn't have and now i'm really nervous about going in today. Saturday we went camping at the beach just for the night... I had a few beers but nothing too crazy. I did manage to burn my lower eye lid though.... Hush Soccer, I know your laughing!! Alright, got to get ready for work... Have a good night everyone:bigsmile: :drinker:

    Oh Kim, that IS alcohal abuse expecially if it's red wine... You know that stuff doesn't hold for long after its been corked! Drink up, you still have 2 days to weigh-in :drinker:

    Hope to be back on track after a really crummy last week. The eating and drinking were both off and my exercise was bleh.
    I'm staying away from the scale so I don't get too frustrated.
    Maybe I'll try that sticking to just the weekend to drink thing that you all keep mentioning. :tongue:

    Re: not having enough fun on the camping trip...yeah, it was a pretty mellow trip. One of the families we went with "frowns upon excessive drinking around the kids" so my family and the other family kept it low key..

    I'm right there with you...beer, ale, etc motivate me to work out more because I want to make sure I have enough calories left for a couple frosty beverages in the evening!

    When I cook amazing food I have to have amazing wine. :blushing: i made the best oyster corn fritters (so loaded with vegies it was ridiculous) with a habenero lime dipping sauce, (yum!) for dinner and i had an open bottle of chardonnay so I had to drink it. I am still under calories since I exersized today but still what is it with me.

    Tuesday - one 5 oz. glass of white wine (logged!)
    Wednesday - 0

    Thursday I will be at a HP party so I think I need to decide between grazing and drinking! On Friday the BF and I go up to Minneapolis for the weekend to visit his parents. They're not big drinkers but maybe a glass or two of wine with dinner! But its relatively safe to say I will be binge free!

    I've been good so far this week without beers. Monday I had 10oz of wine, last night 6oz, tonight probably 12oz - 16oz, my husbands working late and it helps me sleep :happy:

    We are heading down the shore friday afternoon with my sister in law, her boyfriend, my husbands cousin and his girlfriend.....guaranteed to be lushy!!

    Next weekend we are going to Ocean City, MD for the weekend, another guaranteed lush fest!!
    I'm nervous about all the away from home time but I just have to keep my priorities straight....avoid food, drink beer :laugh:

    I know the feeling. I will be out of town again this weekend and of the last 5 weekends it is the 4th that I am traveling! I have not been avoiding any specific food really but just really focusing on listening to my body. If I had a choice in food then I would always go with a healthy carb, lean protein, and some veggies. When I did (group meal, snacks, etc) I just ate what I wanted until I was full and then STOPPED. I managed to not gain and even lose a bit.

    I know this is obvious but when I made it my main focus (instead of calories, carbs, protein, etc) it helped a lot.

    Sunday 0
    Monday 0
    Tuesday 0
    Wednsday 0 (not off work till 1am so no drinks)

    As for the rest of the week I think I'll be good. Might have a glass of wine at my dads b-day party but that's about it. My great aunt will be there and she can drink a grown man under the table. This woman is like in her late 70's and at my wedding she was going shot for shot Yukon Jack with me and the rest of us 30-something kids! She is so freakin' awesome, I love her :heart:

    I am not a light beer drinker either...unless I have to be! I have been trying to avoid beer during the week and reserve it for one day a week....not that I don't have other vices, you know like wine, vodka, tequila, etc :laugh:
    This thread is great it gives you encouragement that you need but doesn't make you feel bad if you don't stick to you original drinking plans!!!
