    That was a tough weekend too! Well, it's ok, it's time to get back to work!
    No more lounging and drinking bloody mary's and whatever else is put in front of me!

    OMG - I think I've found my home. Can't remember the last day I didn't have wine (or something else) at the end of the day! Convinced it's why I've packed on the pounds. Went back to Weight Watchers and am now incorporating it into my daily point plus goal. Seems to be working -- first week down almost 3 lbs.

    Feel free to Friend me if you want to get through this together WITHOUT sacrificing our love of the drink!

    Robin, I followed you you to this board. Sounds like a sympatico place to me! I like to have a big glass of wine nearly every evening . I like it, I think it is good for me, and if I had to give up everything I liked to stay on my diet, I would not stay on it long! A lot of you seem to be mourning the end of summer. I live on the Gulf Coast of Texas, home of the seemingly endless summer. Currently we have had over a month of 100+ degree weather, together with a 10 month drought. So strange for a usually wet, semi-tropical place! What's a girl to do do? When life gives you lemons make lemonade - raspberry lemonade with vodka in it! I'm never a binger. Never have more than 2 drinks, unless I'm on a cruise ship, and then I sorta drink my way thru the day....hey i don't have to drive home after dinner, right? Maxy

    Well said...............all of it!

    Monday=2

    Whoot! It helps that Hubs is cutting back too...we're such bad influences on each other. :drinker:
    Thank gosh my mister isn't a drinker! I never fared well when dating drinkers...always chubbed up!
    He will drink an occasional beer, very rare cocktail, an never wine. He calls it " a perversion of delicious grape juice." Oh well...so sad! More Gnarely Head for me!
    I had one glass of Gazela Vihno Verde last night, and having some red now...mmmm:)

    Yay for me,,,,,,Tuesday = 0

    Wednesday = 0

    I know it's only Wednesday today but I don't plan on drinking at all until Friday - and way less than I have been for the last 4 weekends. Back to tracking all of my alcohol calories.......and shed some lbs! I swear I haven't lost anything for 6 weeks - damn (fun!!!) summer!!!
