I went out for a friends birthday last night. I ate really light for breakfast and lunch (knowing we would be going out after work) and thought I'd do fine. yeah, totally ended up drinking 1,000 calories! yikes! Just a warning to those of you who like to 'socialize' and have never really calculated it...

    I drank 4 white russians-mine were not your average 8 oz drink-mine were made more like 16oz cup with some ice (very little ice). I make mine 1/2 way up the cup with vodka-3/4 to the top with kahula and the rest of the way up with nf milk. Normal calories for a white russian is 360-mine is closer to 500-600. If 500 is right-that was 2000-2400 calories. WOOWEE.:noway:

    Stop your worrying - try a budweiser or twelve or twenty. All kidding aside - We all know moderation is the key. And being pretty active I rarely see an increase in my weight due to my nocturnal forays at the local watering holes.

    Of course I just got back from a killer 2.5 hr workout, and am just about out the door for another round of fun and games. Live Rock n Roll - eye candy, cold bottled bud, full no empty shot glasses, saturday nite, hmmmmm.

    Everyone have a safe and wonderful weekend !!!

    :wink:

    I posted earlier about today about drinking and being concerned about the # of calories I'm consuming. I guess it's harder if you're out at a bar. My choice beverage tonight will be Captain and Coke Zero. I'm hoping it won't sabotage all the hard work I"ve put into this first week!!!

    Cheers to everyone!:drinker:
