Dieting and Alcohol...

rolandhulme

I have always liked the odd tipple and generally been known to handle my booze quite well...

However, I learned a humbling lesson this weekend!

If you 'save up' that day's calories to 'spend' on alcoholic drinks... You might find they hit you harder than you'd imagined!

Martinis on an empty stomach = NOT A GOOD IDEA.

I forgot I used to soak those things up with big meals and bread.

Sparkling water for me from now on, thank you!

i think i'm a bottomless pit.
i saved up my cals to "party" tonight. :drinker: presently, i'm downing my 3rd 10oz glass of wine (640 cals)
i wish i was happy to stop after 2.
i dont think i should drive right now, but as u can see, i can type w/out too many typos.

sad but true, i will not go over my cals tonight.
tomorrow morning, i might forse my self to go on a slow jog.

Ditto, I earned and am used up exercise calories for alcohol, bf said I was snoring lastnight (it's usually him who keeps me awake :yawn: ) so I guess it got to me pretty fast too!:laugh: :drinker: :laugh: :bigsmile:

I envy your motivation and determination on this. While I will attempt to not go overboard, I know I need to work out extra and/or make allowances for some alcohol. BUT, I did tell bf just now that I certainly know I will not be drinking Pina Colada's for our next vacation (all inclusvie every year, and in 2008 I can only imagine my caloric intake :noway: ) but that's okay, I'm fine with that.

I hear ya on the all-inclusives! We go to one almost every year in Mexico...and good grief those pack on the pounds!!!!

I'm a little nervous about the Super Bowl tomorrow...I have stayed away from those parties the past few years because I, quite frankly, LOVE food! I gravitate to the food and eat the day away...I could care less about who wins or the commercials...I just want to sample all the great stuff, and wash it down with lots of drinks! I think my plan may be to do diet coke w/ Bacardi floaters. Those always make me feel like I'm having a cocktail, but I do not get drunk and I don't take in many colories that way.

Anyone else got a plan for tomorrow?
