    Guinness last night...........................hmmmmm!
  • Too much wine continues to lead to too much food and the scale moving in the wrong direction. :sad: So...I'm planning on ZERO alcohol for the next 21 days. (Takes 21 days to build a habit and I definitely need a new and healthier one.) I'll come to this great group to post my status. Wish me luck. (The longest I've gone in the recent past is 3 days.)

    Worked another double on Sunday night. That's the key! Have no life and work the weekends.

    Made it thru the week with 18 total...eh, could be better and it could be worse

    3 drinks at the work party on Friday, nothing on Saturday, and 2 yesterday...

    I'm starting my logging today, so I can at least start with a zero.

    Kim, did you get my PM?

    Wedding reception Saturday evening netted me 3 bud lights and 3 (weak ones) gin and 7-up. Put me over on calories but had a great time!

    wedding weekend and I don't feel so great, definitely lost track of how much I drank on Saturday night but it started with Moscow Mules, mmm. There was red wine, more vodka drinks, beers...
    I need a plan for the week, I think I will refrain from drinking tonight and tomorrow, then Wednesday I will have to drink at my cousin's party, she will be 21!
    Sunday=0 drinks
  • 2 for 2!!

    I worked a double last night and drinking on the job isn't acceptable behavior....success for Friday :drinker: having a plan is working :tongue:
    Dang Kim, 13 at the State Fair! Don't know about your fair but here you could go broke and still not have a buzz! I'm pouring the beer here and I feel so bad when I have to charge them so much for something so small!

    Look at all your 0's though! That's awesome, you rock lady:drinker:

    It was probably 8 premium beers @ 20 oz each. I have standards you know. $6.75 each. So, I figured it out to be 13. Going again on Thursday, I'm thinking of packin' some vodka/soda. Beer is too heavy to drink all day long; plus, the cost as you have mentioned. :grumble:

    The zeros took lots of effort as the drinking as been shall we say legendary. I'm drinking vodka, soda with a splash of Izzy pom and a twist of lime. Life is good again :heart:

    I learned the hard way this weekend that I have to make my own vodka/soda's if I want to have any accountablity. I went to one bar on Friday and drank my drink no problem... went to a different bar the next night and was a hot frickin' mess! Can't really count the calories when the bartender is overpouring like a mad man!

    tweaked my back. Feeling lots of pain. Grumpy. didn't drink all day yesterday until 8:00 and then I had a few vodka rocks because I wanted to try to sleep. I will probably drink tonight because I am here at work in agony.

    April, I like when they overpour...

    Robin, you crack me up...

    I would be up for a low drinky September; but, not sure how successful I would be :ohwell:

    OK, lushes, what liquor should I pack for the fair. Thinking I could buy lemonade there and add my own vodka.

    I was thinking the same thing when i read that! Love when you find a bartender who overpours. SOOO rare! I'm such a lush. jeeeez.
    I vote for vodka for sure. Freeze it so it stays nice and cold. YUM!
    Sunday=0
    Monday=0
    But i might still be drunk from Saturday. That's JUST how much I had that night. :glasses:

    SoCal, great idea about freezing it!! :bigsmile:

    I knew I could cound on my lushy buddies!!! :heart: You guys got my back!!! :wink:

    Lately I have been adding Cruzan Black Cherry Rum in my lemonade. Very tasty!!! I know that rum makes some people "weird" . Great... now I want one, but it's okay I am already weird.

    Sunday - 2 Merlot
    Monday - 0
    Tuesday - Rum and lemonade...# to be determined.

    I love your group. Do you take men? I drink wine. And tequila. And gin. And beer. In that order of preference.
    I usually have a glass or two of wine every night. Rarely more.
    I expend about 6,000 calories per week exercising, so I believe that earns the right to have alcohol.
