    5 mimosas and a cranberry vodka on the plane. then 3 vodka rocks in our room and a glass of wine with dinner. at least we had to walk about a mile and a half to get the vodka and then today we walked about 4 miles to get some cables for the video player and some water. ready to start in on the vodka again. I love vacations. :drinker:

    Hope all is well with everyone!

    We lost power right in the middle of my Xmas Eve dinner (along with about 583 other people in San Diego apparently)
    What to do? DRINK!!!

    The meal finally came together (sorta..minus a few planned items)
    We opened gifts by candlelight. The lights came back on after a couple of hours..and we turned them back off..except for the tree. It was nice. It could have been a disaster..but maybe we were all too hammered to care. :drinker:

    Haven't had anything to drink since..but I'm on total food leftover overload. Still no exercise. Tomorrow is a new day.

    Next big meal will be New Years Eve..Maine lobsters and clams!!
    Oy..the scale..I don't even WANT to know how bad it is!

    Wolf...way to make it happen, you probs feel a lot better by now

    SoCal...sounds like it was a blast overall...also seems like your power is always out in one form or the other

    Safe to say I have quelled the thoughts of drinking tonight:

    Monday, 0 drinks

    In think I was less lushy over Christmas than I've been all break. Last night was one...but i think I'm fighting a sinus infection, so I'll probably have nothing tonight.

    I've been superlushy, so not been counting, oh the dangers of pouring Baileys by the tumbler full, soooo easy to drink.

    Sounds like everyone had a pretty nice Christmas. I got a beautiful mental image of opening gifts by candle light!

    My husband came home Thursday and we got completely hammered so we got up on Friday and drank more so that we weren't hungover for Christmas eve but that plan kinda backfired cause I ended up pretty smashed by the end of the night and felt like crap Christmas morning. On the upside, I haven't drank since Friday.

    I went after Christmas shopping though on Sunday and bought some super cute jeans and sweaters all a size smaller than what I would have worn just a few months ago... pretty cool nsv:wink:

    Over the Christmas weekend, I was in Small Town, KS, USA. Totally lushy the ENTIRE time we were there...which was Friday-Monday. Didn't drink Monday night, or last night. I think my body is slowly detoxing! I don't plan on drinking until Friday (which I'm meeting girlfriends for drinks after work)...and of course, NYE! However, after that...I'm going to put my lushy ways in the backseat for a while (if I can!) My 25th birthday is at the end of January, so I'm going to try to hold off on drinking until my birthday weekend! Let's see if I can do it!!!

    Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas holiday! Can't believe that 2012 comes this weekend!! AHH!

    I did make some Jack Daniels fudge, which is awesome, but definitely NOT low calorie :noway:
    Recipe? That sounds good. There is a local ice cream place and they make a Jack Daniels ice cream and it is chocolatey. Jack Daniels fudge sounds delish.
    Weekend was pretty lushy.
    Friday= 1/2 bottle of red
    Saturday=2/3 of a bottle, or 1/3 of two bottles
    Sunday=couple of beers and red wine
    Monday=tequila, three oz
    Tuesday=0 drinks
    Tonight we are going to dinner with friends so I think there will be drinking. Thursday should be sober, no plans Friday but then NYE!

    Wednesday, 0 drinks, that's the plan

    I think that my body is going thru withdrawls. Sleep is very disrupted and I am super itchy, must be some neuro thing going on. Anyway, I feel more refreshed today and will actually do this thing called "exercise".

    Sounds like we are all pretty lushy right now. I guess, to be expected, given the circumstances.

    Woooooah, lushy is an understatement for Christmas Eve and Christmas haha. Oh well. Sort of jump started my New Year wedding diet today. Will probably have some beers tonight but have a healthy dinner. Cleaned out the fridge so there aren't any leftovers or anything unhealthy in there except of course the leftover cheesecake that I'm giving until the 1st and then ALL junk in the house goes! I'm looking forward to our Christmas/New Years party that will be this whole weekend. Lots of champagne which I just absolutely love :smile: We got some pretty great gifts this year, mostly for the house but I love gifts for the house haha.

    My plan to slim down for the wedding is as of the 1st, no drinking until at least Friday, lots of salads with either chicken, fish, pork or for the fiancé, maybe some lean red meat. We'll have to get creative so that we don't get bored with the meals but it should be fine and we should both be in great shape for the wedding. I will also be starting a round of P90X so I'll get the cardio and tone up, I'm looking forward to being back in shape :glasses:

    Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and that you all have a fabulous New Year :heart: :drinker:

    Here is the recipe I used

    http://www.food.com/recipe/jack-daniels-fudge-11961

    It tastes very strong at first, but the more you eat it the better it tastes :laugh:

    I did what Kat did today and threw everything out including the rest of the fudge :noway: . I was the only one eating it and if you look at the nutritional values...well let's just say there is zero nutritional value except calories!

    Last night - two glasses of chardonnay
    Tonight - I will finish the bottle that has maybe a half of glass left.
