    Amy that was funny. I too know enough Spanish, German and French to get me in trouble. My friends from Germany introduced me to cheap red wine with diet coke. I kind of like it.

    Kat's new goal - fail.

    Haven't had an appetite the last couple days and I had pretty much all my calories for the day left over so I figured why not have some wine haha 4 glasses, measured out though.

    Not sure about tonight, I've only had 240 cals for the day and I'm simply not hungry and running around cleaning the house while listening to jazz. I know what we're having for dinner though and that will add at least some cals. So, hopefully no wine tonight but ya never know!

    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:


    Congratulations!
    I'm on day 2 for this week (Week started Monday). Tonight's plan is yoga at 7:00.

    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! :)

    I made a special category for it. Didn't really count as a snack.....
    I'm glad I found this group too. I was thinking I was the only one that tried to mix diet / fitness with alcohol.

    I have a catagory called desserts and alcohol for all my evil vices.

    My category is called "Lushing it up" for my alcohol. :drinker:

    I doubt I'll drink tonight...I've been eating everything in sight and I only have 17 calories left for the day. I need to hit the gym when the kids go to bed.

    so I did an experiment last night. I didn't eat dinner and I had several large vodka rocks instead. I did this so my early morning weigh in for the competition would look good (dehydration!!!) it worked. the benefit is I am motivated to be good the rest of the week so I can keep losing. for some reason when I had a loss without the alcohol I felt like I deserved to drink and I started slacking the rest of the week. this way I am motivated. I am not sure I am making any sense. :noway:

    Hi Lushes,

    Welcome all new lushes.

    Checking in for October. I am trying to not drink during the week and save up for this weekend. Going up to Nashville with another couple to visit wineries in middle TN. Some reason when I think TN, I do NOT think wine, should be interesting. I am going to keep an open mind :tongue: . We will then party it up in Nashville visiting clubs. I have never been to Nashville and I can tolerate some country music. Think it is too early for the fall foliage though :ohwell:

    Carry on!

    Robin, good strategy and you MUST do whatever works for you...Lushes are unique in their thinking

    My weight is up from the 4 days of birthday celebration. :cry:

    My plan is to only drink if I have the calories allowance for it and to track all my food this weekend. I shouldn't be too bad since it's my work weekend. :grumble:

    Last night I went to Tokyo Joe's and it was Sushi Night and beers were a $1 when you bought sushi, so I couldn't turn down a $1 beer!

    For those of you have a meal named for alcohol consumption, don't you just feel compelled to record something there? I think I would:tongue:
