in Motivation and Support
Hello and welcome to the thread that acknowledges alcohol. We like it.
Most of us drink it. We struggle with the effect it has on our weight loss. We support each other when we strive to control it. We support each other when we fail to control it.

This is a support zone. Not a judging zone.

It's November and that means that we heading into the Holidays. that means drinking. This will be a challenging month. Good luck to all.

    Last night...PF Changs....2 margaritas and 1 glass of cabernet. I was way over for the day BUT it was definitely worth it :wink:

    I just wish there wasn't so much damn Sodium in everything. I love PF Changs.

    I had vodka rocks and rum rocks last night. Scale was okay this morning.

    As long as you count it in your calories, what's the big deal? I enjoy a cocktail when I get home from the gym. And I burn extra calories so I can HAVE that cocktail.

    Robin-surprisingly my sodium wasn't too bad.....I got the buddhas feast, which is steamed veggies and tofu, BUT did share in my husbands apps...spring roll and pot stickers. Oh and the waiter thought it would be a nice gesture to give us a free dessert, *kitten* :laugh: It would have been very rude of me to decline it :wink:

    Hello again Lushes! Maybe I will spend more time with you this month. I agree, the holidays are brutal when it comes to not only food but alcohol!

    I can't believe there are so many like minded people out there! Red wine is my absolute favourite food group. A huge thank you to whoever started the original thread and to everyone else who's kept it going :flowerforyou:

    Alcohol is the main reason for my weight gain so I'm really trying to cut back at the moment. I'd love to be one of those people who can just cut it out completely but some days you (well ok, I) just need a g&t / vodka / beer to take the edge off. How lovely to meet people who understand that!

    Wishing you all a great start to November :drinker:

    I think there is something wrong with me...

    I put a bottle of white in the freezer to chill last night and I forgot about it :noway:

    Tonight there will be wine :bigsmile:

    Started the week out bad already, we got a new rescue puppy Sunday...a 7 month old chocolate lab, and she is a little crazy, but we start puppy school in less than 2 weeks. But, needless to say she drove me to the bottle of wine last night and I had 2 glasses, we will see how the rest of the week goes.

    Puppy! I love lab pups...so adorable!

    Amy, I love your costume.

    Last night we trick or treated with my ex and the neighborhood posse. I had a couple of red bull and vodkas with blood orange vodka. Nom!

    I think I'm going to do a "soberish" November...one night of drinking durning the week, and keeping that to one or two, and then only drinking one night on the weekends.
    So, my goal for the rest of the week is:
    Tuesday-0
    Wednesday-0
    Thursday-0
    Friday-2
    Saturday-0
    Sunday-0

    We'll see how it goes...

    That's terrible. You may need to see a doctor. Sounds like the beginning stages of part-zheimer's.

    I ate up WAY too many calories with hops last night. So I'm hoping to avoid it all together tonight! Like Sarah said... Oh well. This is life! :drinker:

    Monday - 8 (yeah, I know WOW)
    Tuesday - 0 (I hope)

    Dot... I'm going to also try to have a better November. Love everyones' costumes!!

    For November I would like to avoid wine until my birthday. Alternately, and most likely, I will give myself a free pass on Saturdays.... It's only 3 weeks. To celebrate we are going to go wine tasting then out to dinner where I want to be able to look great in my little black dress.
    Cheers!

    Feel like caca today. and for once it isn't the booze.
    Pretty sure it's the sugar from all the candy I normally don't eat. I don't even like chocolate very much (don't hate me)..and I think I had about 5 mini kit kat bars..and had one for breakfast.
    I have a killer headache.

    I just threw all the rest away.

    Happy November everyone!:drinker:
