    I have a gin (Bombay Saphire - 1/2 shot) and diet tonic (16 oz) with a half of a lime squeezed in it every night after working 15 hours (M-F). I figure I deserve it. I have two on Friday nights, No excuses. Its lower calorie, fat and carb than a beer and I LOVE IT. And I log every one of them!

    Just got two new games to play while we camp... should be lots of fun! I actually found a trival pursuit "totally 80's" edition! I also bought Battle of the Sexes. We have 3 couples going so this should be interesting :) I've also decided I am going to rent the sand boards they have for skating down the sand dunes! I'm so stinkin' excited! I've been camping a gazillion times already this summer but not for more than one night at the beach.... I LOVE the ocean!

    Sounds awesome Kasi. I really miss camping. Haven't been in a long time due to my bestie being pregnant etc etc.

    I need to do better about checking in here. Out of all of the threads I follow y'all are the chattiest bunch! :laugh:


    I have been doing really good this week

    Sun 2 glasses of wine
    Mon 0
    Tues 0
    Wed 0

    I am debating staying sober this weekend since I did not make that goal last weekend and went waaaay over board.

    I have been noticing the scale is actually moving the less I drink. :embarassed: So I should probably cool it for a bit if I want to look hot in my wedding dress.

    Hope you fellow lushes are doing well with your goals! :drinker:

    Ok, so Tuesday I had a glass of wine with lunch and a glass after dinner. took my sister and nieces to the airport at 4am this morning. I miss them already, but I am sleepy. No plans tonight, I could remain drink free, but I might have one to fall asleep, DH will be out doing comedy and now I have this open bottle of white wine...

    Sunday=1/2 beer
    Monday=1/2 beer (Ruby Redbird)
    Tuesday=1/2 beer (Summer Shandy)

    What the heck is wrong with me?? :laugh: I had back to school night last night and I wanted a BIG glass of wine and a beer but I had ramen instead. I still am in panic mode at school, so until that dies down, I don't have enough time to really work out--so I'm trying to be good with the booze. :sad:

    I bow down to you for being able to stop at 1/2 a beer. My 1/2 would have been at the bottom, so I'd have no choice but to drink the whole thing. :laugh:

    I hope everything calms down soon and you get into a nice routine. *hugs*

    Oh yeah, I forgot about this. Here I am, back to confess.

    Wednesday, 5 vodka sodas with lime (still only about 75 cals over my limit that day)

    Thursday, 2 vodka sodas with lime

    Friday, 1/2 a bud light lime

    Saturday, a grape vodka with soda and two sweet concoctions with lots of grenadine

    Sunday, nothing

    Monday, glass of red wine

    Tuesday, an AMAZING bottle of Samuel Adam's Harvest Pumpkin Ale. Seriously, go buy it now.



    Wow. I feel like a lush, even among other lushes. :blushing:

    Way to portion Yvonne! I wish we could learn to do that with our whiskey... just never seams to last:embarassed:

    My sister and I did decide though that this weekend we each will bring a half gallon of our favorite liquor and when we are out were out! We always end up making unexpected trips to the liquor store when we camp but this time the nearest liquor store is 20+ miles away so were not gonna do it! May end up up drinking a crap load of beer but no extra liqour!!!
