    Think I'll have some vodka sodas tonight. A habit I'll never kick is soda, I don't have it regularly but I love it. It fills me up, I like the flavor and love the fizz. Found all natural soda at Whole Foods, I know that doesn't mean it's good for me but it makes me feel a little better about drinking it haha. Or since I have a good amount of calories left, I may use a grapefruit izzy for the mixer, we'll see!

    Ohh wow it is so nice to find fellow indulgers! Honestly, I think alcohol is my #1 diet sabotage. I am young (23) and love to go out. I try to do vodka and club soda with lime (they are my favorite), but I drink them so fast I am usually the first one feeling tipsy! When I go out and want to drink and spend time with everyone I need to drink beer because I can drink that relatively slow and then oops there goes my diet! Especially since I love the lagers.... And then I get home and eat a half a package of my stashed 'PMS' Oreos and wake up the next morning hating myself. Lol Atleast I can come on here and whine about it. I havent been out in a while because I hate that feeling! Just wanted to commiserate. =)

    I love grapefruit, simply grapefruit juice is the best, tastes exactly as it does when you wheeze the actual fruit for juice. When I was first introduced to grapefruit izzy when I worked at Starbucks, I fell in love. I can't imagine it would be bad with vodka but I'll definitely let everyone know, :drinker:

    My aunt and uncle live in Colorado! I've only been there once and I was really little so the only parts I remember are my ears bothering me on the plane, it being pretty hot, shrimp cocktail and my uncle introducing me to Dr. Pepper, which I love.

    The grapefruit izzy and vodka is scrumptious, especially when you have some good vodka and therefore can't taste it. Of course that can be a dangerous thing too haha.

    Very dangerous...if you want to save some calories, mix the izzy with sparking water :love:

    I've never heard of Izzy... I thought you guys were talking about the Pizza place for while. I'm gonna have to keep an eye out for it.

    I've got 9 days of no drinks right now! I almost broke down a couple times this weekend but managed to stay sober:bigsmile:

    TOM, nuff said. I can't complain though because the only thing that happens to me is I get super tired no matter how much sleep or iron I get and I lose my appetite. It's usually a good week for me to lose some water and a couple real pounds. Boyfriend gets back tonight so I don't think there are any drinks happening but who knows, he may want a Johnny Walker after meetings and traveling all day and if that's the case I'll have a glass of wine or two.

    Still going to get a bike ride in to reach my 500 calorie burn a day goal and get what little laundry there is done so I can stay ahead of it.

    Hang in there, you may find the more you post about it or log it the easier it is to abstain. I tend to exercise for booze LOL!

    Totally forgot that my shows start again tonight! 90210 at 8 and a new one, Ringer, at 9. This along with the fact that it's almost 7 and I've got 740 calories left for the day and that does not count the 510 I just "earned" from my bike ride. Boyfriend isn't a huge fan of watching my shows with me but he does so we spend time together. However, he's still in the process of flying home and won't land until about 9:30 so he escapes the shows tonight haha. Think I'll stick with red wine tonight since there's no more vodka :ohwell:

    :drinker: to Solpwr!! Aren't you on maintenance or close to your goal weight already?

    I'm like wolf and tend to exercise so I can drink whenever/however much I want. But I'm back on my "strict" plan since i have a vacay coming up and want to drop some more lbs before then.
    I'll join you on the red wine though once the weather gets cooler here. :wink:

    OMG how happy I am to find others who just can't say no to alcohol!!! :drinker:

    Most days we have a bottle of wine with our dinner...red wine being my favorite. I really try to limit myself but you know, I REALLY like the way it tastes - I look forward to sitting down and unwinding from whatever wound me up that day - and enjoying a glass of wine while I do it.

    I realize that most diet plans don't advocate drinking...and that my drinking does slow down the weight loss process, but I feel that if I cut the wine completely I won't be a happy girl.... so I say, drink on and enjoy!!
