    Sounds like you guys are doing pretty well, especially with the weight loss.

    I've been pretty lushy this weekend, cider friday, vodka yesterday and wine with lunch today which has led to another glass tonight :drinker:

    I'm staying sensible with my drinking so probably won't drink much, if at all in the week, I'm steadily getting leaner too so it's not affecting my weight, yay :happy:

    Zomg, is that Yvonee I see? :heart:

    I'm enjoying a diet coke and cherry vodka...with fountain diet coke from McD's. I know that place is poison, but they have the BEST fountain drinks!!

    HI *waves* Yvonne :flowerforyou:

    Robin, keep dropping weight for me too, OK? :wink:

    Dot, I have to agree with you in some sort of sick way :embarassed:

    New week, new plan and my birthday needs to get worked in the mix :drinker: :drinker:

    Monday, 0
    Tuesday, 0
    Wednesday, 0...Weigh-in
    Thursday, 6
    Friday, 6 to 8...Birthday
    Saturday 6 to 8
    Sunday, 0

    Total: 18 to 22

    I'm going to be starting the C25K tomorrow and hope that I can combat some of the liquor. I only work on Thursday; so, this could be a very, very dangerous week. However, i do like the way not being hungover and gross feels.

    after all the wine I had on Saturday I had zero yesterday. I am proud of me. I did eat salty yesterday (brat for dinner) so the scale was not kind this morning but I know that if I hold straight and true and I will do okay for the weigh in.

    I too like the feeling of not feeling gross. You did good last week Kim I am sure can hang tough even with a birthday thrown into the mis.

    Glad you dropped back in Yvonne. we have missed you.

    Dot I love diet coke with cherry vodka.

    Here to a good week lushes.

    Yay, it sounds like we are all hanging in, staying moderate lushes, which is really for the best.

    I am proud of myself. Last night I decided I wanted a drink and got into the vodka but had a very reasonable 2 drinks with diet coke and the evening did not turn into a WTH? event.

    I like fountain drinks in general better than out of the can and agree McD's has the best. Maybe they use a higher syrup to carbonated water ratio. I know we don't need any other good ideas for drinking but Sonic slushes (any flavor) and vodka is really good too.

    I've heard about the deliciousness that is Sonic slushies and vodka. Must stay away!

    Sunday=2 (1 glass of sangria and 1 red bull/seltzer/grape vodka)

    My goal for this week is 0 through the week...

    2 large glasses of wine last night.

    hope to be at 0 for most of this week. leave for vacay on saturday. i'm going to pull out my new bathing suits as my motivation to stay on track.
    it is my tom (TMI..sorry guys), which tends to make me sluggish..but i will hopefully exercise through it, as that always makes me feel better afterward.

    have a good week everyone!

    MMMM, that is a nice idea. I might have to start carrying vodka in a water bottle like my grandmother. There's lots of smoothie recipes out there that involve liquor as well...ooooo, jello shots too

    Robin, you are doing very well too...I'm glad that the scale is moving for you...I am thinking that food is not an option on b-day, just drinks :ohwell: We have to make choices

    SoCal...you can work thru it...I think it's like sex when your not in the mood...the first few minutes are the hardest and then when your done you feel :bigsmile:

    well, I better do the week's tally.

    Monday - 2, 20oz budlights and 1 Shiner Boch,
    Tuesday - dry,
    Wed - 6 budlights - oh ya this was the day hubby was off and I started drinking at noon. I love those days but they are no good for my health and modivation.
    Thurs - dry,
    Fri - 3 glasses of blush wine - I don't even really like blush but I needed a drink and that's what we had besides the vodka, which I'm really trying to stay away from.
    Sat - dry,
    Sun - remains to be seen.

    I guess it's not as bad as I felt it was. Seems like I've been on a day on/day off schedule this week. Scale did not move this week so I will try harder next week. Have a great SUnday everyone!

    I've been on the "every other day" plan lately as well... I was beating myself up until I remembered I used to only maybe skip one day per week!!! :noway: I'm not buying anything this evening to drink and therefore not going to drink anything.

    Monday - 0 (unless something crazy happens)

    welcome back. I am glad the tumor was benign and you are now back in action,
