    Friday was horrible, after not drinking for 2 weeks, 1 vodka soda, 2 glasses red wine, 2 shots of zambuca, and I think about 9 beers. Yesterday nothing because I felt like crap. In the past that would be a normal Friday night then I would do it again on Saturday. Time for me to get back on track as I usually don't get hung over but Saturday was horrible.

    Robin, Lol...I'm kinda hoping we have a time difference cause my computer says you posted that at 8am! Love a good Bloody Mary though... Drink on lady:drinker: :bigsmile:

    So I think I figured out my resolution for drinking too much... I have to go to a bar with a dance floor! I must look like a sloppy mess when I dance cause I get cut off everytime. I only had 3 drinks Friday but the bartender told me "I think we need to space out your drinks a little". So I guess techniqually I didn't get cut off but I was having so much fun on the dance floor I didn't even attempt to order another! I woke up Saturday down like 2.5lbs. I'm sure some of it was dehydration but I danced for probably 3-4 hours straight.... had to have burned a ton of calories:tongue:

    Kim, Lol... You kicked out your patients to go drinking, I hope you at least invited them to join you:wink::bigsmile: JK!!!

    Kat, how was your frightfest thing? I so totally wanted to go to a haunted house or something this year but it doesn't look like it'll happen. Last year Extreme Home Makeover redid a haunted house here in Salem... Rob Zombie helped to design it, I really want to check it out. I'm heading out to the pumpkin patch today though with the kids so that should be fun.

    Amy, Orange vodka and soda sound delish... gonna have to try that. I usually just stick to regular vodka with muddled lime.

    April, not time difference, :blushing: but in my defense I do get up at 4:00am, yes even on the weekends. I am a creature of habit.

    I did my haunted maze thing this year it was a blast. go Groupon!!!! (thanks Kim)

    I am into champagne and kiwi now. I love life.

    Oy, lushy night. Date night and I'm wanting champagne :smile: As well as Philly cheesesteak egg rolls!
    Philly cheesesteak egg rolls? how is that?
    I had 5 beers on Friday and yesterday I had some wine while getting ready for the fundraiser formal I was volunteering for and when I got there I had a tickle in my throat so I had a vodka soda to quell that! Then after the fundraiser I went to meet DH for drink since I was all dressed up-I had a pear tree martini, so yummy, then he surprised with a hotel room with wine and roses and cupcakes! and breakfast in bed...

    The boys won the State championship for 4th grade football. They get to go to Nationals in Texas. So, after 7 hours in the partially rainy day, I wanted to go celebrate. Wait!!! Are you sitting down? I did NOT order one single drink!! I just decided that I don't want to feel like crap tomorrow.
  • Have no vodka or any other alcohol in the house, my plan on is not going out to purchase any, I am hoping by not drinking it will help with my weight lost during the week. I am on a weight lost challenge to lose 5lbs by Halloween and I have 1lb to go.. Need all the support I can get to kick that last lb for the challenge...:embarassed:

    It would be the one time that you drink, she decides to go into labor. Kids are like that, from my experience anyway. :grumble: Uh oh, what if she goes late? :noway: Is she having a boy or a girl?

    I broke my sabbatical on Saturday. I went without alcohol for 12 days. I started over alcohol free Sunday and will stay that way until next Saturday. After that play it by ear through November 20, which is the last day of my current training plan.

    On Saturday Jurgen, the owner of Bayern Brewery in Missoula Montana stopped into the Raven in Bigfork. He brews a few kegs of Oktoberfest beer in wooden kegs each year the traditional way, naturally carbonated, taps the bung and the beer from that keg is free. He also personally makes brats and kraut, free of charge. This happened Saturday and I just couldn't pass it up. Met a couple of buddies, and in typical Wade fashion I helped dispense, pour, and distribute the beer to the crowd.

    I drank a lot of beer. And I had a brat. And some really good potato salad. I have no idea how much beer I really drank. More than a quart, less than a half gallon.

    Sounds fun solpwr!

    I took a break this weekend and indulged in mexican food. I stayed away from the rice and beans but had some killer carne asada and homemade flour tortillas (2). lots of homemade salsa and a few chips. oh..and guacamole. lots of it.

    I drank plenty of vodka to go along with it as well.

    it was all worth every last calorie!! :bigsmile:

    WAY too much this weekend, WAY too much!!!

    Friday-1 pint of beer and two shots of pear vodka
    Saturday-2 pear vodka and diet cranberry cocktails, 1/2 bottle of wine, and I have no idea how many beers.....only remember 5, oh and shots of whisky, probably why I don't remember how many beers!!!
    Sunday-6 beers and 1 BIG glass of wine.
    Nothing last night....we will see how the night goes tonight, but probably nothing. I won't be getting home from the gym until late, then have to make dinner, long evening.

    My goal was to just have a drink or two at a party or social get together.
    I thought if I just drank at social functions I would lose more weight.

    So on Sunday what did I do, I had (2) Bloody Ceasars and some Sake
    at a restaurant for dinner. Just a regular weekend day.

    I just blew that goal out the window. :drinker:
