    I cannot even begin to calculate drinks for last week, nor do I want to...

    Monday, 0 drinks
    Tuesday, 0 drinks

    Goal: < 15 drinks

    Welcome Marie!

    Dot - I hope you feel better. Sometimes for me, a diet coke will help get rid of a headache, even a hangover headache. The caffine is good and the sweet bubbles make my mouth happy.

    I had a very sober weekend (shocking!). Just a little Gin on Fri, and dry Sat and Sun. I have no idea what the week will hold. Laying in bed last night, we realized our wedding anniversary is next Monday. 2 years! We have a trip planned to San Antonio next weekend so I think I will try my best to be good until then. I have a feeling it will be a drink and calorie BLOW OUT!

    Have a great week everyone.

    SarahMary...I even took the kids to McDonald's for lunch so I could get a diet coke! Didn't work. I think I had a weird reaction to some meds I took the night before for me knee, because the headache is still here.

    Hello survivors of the weekend! Welcome Marie to a great group!

    Saturday and Sunday panned out to zero. I am striving for zero all week long until maybe Saturday. I did it last week til Friday (which didn't work out for Sat. morning) so I can do it again! I just try to keep myself busy with anything starting about 4 pm til 7, then I'm good! I noticed that I have been eating supper earlier too, and that helps.

    I'm still pinching myself that I actually did not have any drinks for 7 days out of 8. I know I'm repeating myself, but it was an everyday thing, cocktail hour+ !

    Have a good week everyone! :drinker:

    Wow what a weekend! Well, I guess - what a last week......I drank every night for 11 nights in a week. Not quite sure what the deal was. I haven't done that since vacation - time for a break.

    I'll be "good" this week - saving it up for Friday, and since there is no special occasion - I'll try for >5 each night (friday, sat. and sun)

    Hope everyone has a great week!!!

    Wednesday=0 drinks
    Thursday=0 drinks
    Friday=0 drinks
    Saturday=0 drinks
    but I got really sick after returning from Spain and didn't really want anything to drink.
    But Sunday=7 drinks, I had two bloody marys and five bud lights.

    Woah, lushy past few days. New goal is nothing until Fridays even though I love having a drink or a few while watching my shows. Going to get back to my gallon of water too. Can't believe it's already October, my favorite month =] today is a beautiful fall day outside so it calls for some nice warm tea and cuddling under the covers with the fur babies.

    Great job (other) Amy...sorry you were sick, though!

    Kasi, the Fly the World is where each calorie counts as x miles in an airplane and the goal is to fly around the world. Lee (the dude that runs it) sets up this awesome Google map where he tracks how far we've gone.

    Like most of my weekends alcohol is part of it.
    I try to cut down but when the weekend comes
    I never make it through. I also have a family
    (my husbands) who drink more than I do.

    Friday 0
    Saturday 2 light beers
    Sunday Bailey's in my coffee (mmm)
    1 - bloody caesar
    1-light beer

    The only reason I didn't drink on Friday because my girlfriend had
    knee replacement surgery and can't drink for two weeks after surgery.
    I didn't want to mean and drink in front of her.:wink:

    Monday=1 good-sized margarita

    Tonight I might not drink, my aunt is coming over...
    Oh, I have a funny story for the lushes, I was remembering, in Spain Madrid has a drink that is red wine and coke and I wanted to try it, and I thought that is what I was ordering when I saw "copachito" on the menu. And the waiter, he asks me in Spanish "what kind?" and I said "no say" (I don't know) and he gives me a strange look and says, ok, I will bring you something I think you will like. So he brings me a shot of Bailey's irish cream and I realize I just ordered "a shot" not a calimoto (wine mixed with coke) and when he asked me what kind of shot I wanted I told him I didn't know. :laugh:

    Amy - hehehe, that made me laugh.

    Well, I was annoyed yesterday dealing with banks, universities, mortgages, and customer service. Then Hubby came home and he was annoyed with work so it was ON last night.

    Mon - 2 Hendrick's Gin and 4 Crown and Diet (6 total) - which is a lot for a Monday night. I am very glad that my schedule changed and I am only doing an evening class tonight from 630-920. I may need to take a nap. ;)

    I feel really bad for Hubby bc he drinks more than me and was seriously chinese eye'd when we went to bed. He's gone to work already in good spirits but saying he was already craving junk food. At least it's his Friday.

    How happy I am to find you all, lol! Glad my food diary isn't the only one that has alcohol adding to the calorie count! :)

    Hope everyone had a great Monday! I didn't drink - I feel pretty darn good this morning..other than I think I'm getting a cold, boo!

    Aiming for no drinks till Friday - and I might hold off on Sunday too - we'll see, I have to go to Jackpot on Tuesday/Wednesday - so there will be plenty of drinking - although it's a work thing, so I can't get too out of control lol.
