Tomorrow, I get my ear drained of this fluid finally. I am shooting for 0's thru the weekend as I am a working girl. Man, that did not sound good.:noway:
Robin, I am sorry that you hate your job.
Kat, you've got to remember that dress and how you want to look in it.
OK, off to bed now!0 -
yvonne..i admire you! (and not just for your amazing arms
)
and for all the bragging I did earlier about not drinking since the superbowl...I caved.
LOL..like it was some kind of major EVENT that I hadn't had a drink since Sunday. Good grief! I need an eyerolling smilie for myself, but I'll use this one instead :ohwell:
So robin..don't feel bad. I don't have a bad job and I *still* said WTH..I'm going for it.
I'm blaming it on The Real Housewives. They make even a teetotaler wanna drink. :drinker:0 -
Oh and Kim, how long has your effing ear been messed up??? Seems like forever!! It must be making you nuts. Hope you get some relief soon. :flowerforyou:0
-
Yvonne-good luck with everything Girl!!
Robin, we are in the same boat...I also hate my job!!! I actually hate working in general....keep telling my husband I'd be a great housewife :laugh:
Monday-0
Tuesday-0
Wednesday-well.......not the zeros I had accounted for.....1 grape vodka (3oz) with some kind of crystal light citrus thingy and 10oz wine.
Thursday-already have wine in my food diary....12oz0 -
Oh and Kim, good luck with the ear thing!!0

My husband is a bad influence....I was cool with the no drinking until the weekend thing I was trying to accomplish! But last night we decided to hit our favorite watering hole - at least I limited myself to only 2 drinks. It WAS nice to get out but I caved so easily.
Kim, good luck with the ear!
Kblue & Robin - I agree about being a good housewife - I tell my husband that ALL the time! Does anyone really LOVE their job??? It sucks slavin' for the man!
Yvonne - good luck!
Cheers all - going for no drinks til tomorrow night!:drinker:0 -
So last night it was Sake. (I made some sukiyaki so I had to get some sake and of course drink some)
I have had some jobs that I at least enjoyed the work I was doing. This job is such a bad fit for my skills and my manager is way to new and has no clue how to manage so that just makes it worse. I have applied for tons of other positions and I am sure some thing will come of it soon. This is such a huge company that I know I can find something I like to do.
I loved being unemployed and playing housewife for 20 months (other than the total lack of funding) I could certainly handle that again 0 -
Monday- 0
Tuesday-0
Wednesday- 0
Thursday- 0 is the plan
Friday- going out so probably some beers
Saturday- we said we were going to stay in so maybe some wine
Sunday- 0 is the plan
So I cant remember if this was the thread we were talking about Dexter but we just finished season 4 last night.....and OMFG!!! What a shocker!0 -
Oh Chloe, it gets much much crazier!! Have fun, love me some Dexter!!!!! And great job with all those zeros....clearly I caved last night :laugh:0

I've not had a good week.
Sunday- Superbowl! Probably had 3 or 4 Beers
Monday- 0
Tuesday- Trivia- 2 Beers, 2 Rum and Cokes. I did turn down a free shot.
Wednesday- 2 Rum and Cokes
Thursday... Who knows...
I am staying under my daily calories, still, but I don't think this is a good way to spend the ones I am spending. On the positive, I have lost 14 lbs without doing much to curb my consumption. I think if I quit drinking I would probably be in the 20's by now.0 -
I love that I'm able to stay at home with my fur kids and keep the house clean, only downside for me is I don't have a license so I'm home all the time. I do get out of the house for date night or when we run errands on the weekends. I know that has a lot to do with my boozy beverage issue. I'm sure once I get my license and can go places I'll be good.
4 glasses of wine last night which is a huge reduction from Tuesday but I would still like 0's during the week and only 1-3 on Fridays and/or Saturdays. Read some interesting articles on booze and weight loss. Think it'll help me steer clear during the week and be good on the weekends. Time will tell! Going for 0 tonight as weigh in day is tomorrow, however that may be shot due to my muscles hanging onto water at the moment. Going to get in a really good bike ride and lots of water to flush things out.0 -

Man, I've really sucked this week!
Monday - 0
Tuesday - 10 ounces Voli Lyte Vodka
Wednesday (immediately after my PT session) - 6 Miller Lites
Thursday - ???
I've decided to give up beer in March. Beer only (not my vodka or wine). My birthday is at the end of this month and I'm sure I'll be drinking a LOT of beer around that time.
Oh, Kim... it sounds like that ear thing is painful. I hope draining it takes the pain away!
Yvonne... wow! I don't think I've been on a streak that long in years. Kudos!!
You ladies with your HUGE wine glasses are making me giggle. :laugh: My husband's best friend brought some random chick over to my house last summer and she broke my favorite huge wine glass. I'd had it for about 10 years. :explode: I'm still shopping for the next "specail" one...
And... don't fall out of your chairs... I LOVE MY JOB!!! :bigsmile:0 -

Dexter was good, instead of beer though I made margs and when I figured out how much I had it was like 600 cals, yikes, should have had the 3 beers instead.
I did not like Dexter at first (we are only 9 episodes in, don't ruin anything for me) but started to like it at episode 5.
It does sort of suck to work, seems like anything would be a drag just for getting paid to do it. I don't hate my job, there's parts I like and parts I don't, like anything. I am not sure if I would be ok staying at home, I need more distractions and interactions because being left alone with my thoughts never leads me to good places, but that is just me! I could use a housewife though, that would be sweet! someone to wait for the cable guy, or the carpet cleaners, someone to grocery shop and prepare meals, clean the house and such...0 -

Officially, 4 weeks this Saturday...yes, I mourned the loss of my hearing...procedure went well; now, I just have to wait for things to drain and settle down.0 -
WOW...took me a while to catch up on posts...only one person loves their job...ha, ha :laugh:
Kat, I don't know how you get along without a license...that would drive me crazy to be stranded...but, I have kids so it makes a difference.
Amy-Dot...conferences would make me drink..in fact, I have one tonight for little guy
Jenbit...so far, so good, we have 0's. :flowerforyou:
Question is, if your a housewife...is it with or without kids? Makes a huge difference. Loved the idea of waiting for the cable guy
he, he
Wlgreen...that is the reason we are stuck at our weights...:drinker: :drinker:0 -

Yeah it's tough and there's only so much cleaning to be done around the house because I'm a neat freak so it's normally tidy, unless my fiancé has had the week off. We don't have kids yet but when we do I know I won't have a problem staying home all the time.
So, after rethinking about all the articles I read about alcohol and weight loss, it finally made sense in my head. Definitely going to try and go easy on the sauce by not having any during the week and only having a few drinks Fridays and Saturdays. Maybe once I get to the weight or size I want to be back to then I'll work a couple glasses in each night as there are some benefits to moderate drinking but until then I'm going to really focus on my work outs and food

Tomorrow, I have a weigh-in for another contest. My weight is up and I have no idea why other than water weight. So, I will see what happens after a night of slumber.
Peace!0 -
So I have a new goal for myself. Next week, NO ALCOHOL. Wife goes out of town next week so it is just me and the kid, no trivia night, so it should be easier. Plan on having a couple tonight, maybe tomorrow, but I will start Booze Free Week on Sunday.0

I actually love my job:bigsmile: I'm an attorney for the Social Security Administration. I love working for the federal government.
I've been cutting down during the week on the drinks, by a couple of drinks per night, and I'm going to try to keep that going on the weekend too. I am convinced I am not losing weight because of the beer. It's light beer, but still, it's making a huge dent in my calories each day. I'm thinking I may switch to red wine, which I like and drink much, much more slowly than a cold beer.

Hi, peeps...GM
I'll probably be drink-free tonight as well....weight is up 1.8 lbs from last Friday and I p*ssed about it. I think it's water weight, but....WHATevvvver! I know it's not from drinking. I know the 'ol bod is changing, it just I want the scale to move as well.
HAVE A LUSHY WEEKEND TO THOSE WHO PLAN TO LUSH IT UP :drinker: :drinker:0 -
I DID IT. Thursday = 0. It has been a while but I made it to a zero. Yay me! My ban on the hard stuff really helped me push thru. Now if I could just get up and get my but moving. Although I did 100 ab moves yesterday to take my mind of wanting some wine. :happy:0

Wow! So many did so good this week with all the 0s!! Congrats to everyone! I only caved on Wednesday night and limited it to two drinks.
Tonight - I have declared date nite with the husband and I am considering this my cheat night! Still gonna try to limit the number of drinks instead of blowing it out!
Saturday and Sunday will probably involve some drinking, but will try to keep under calories. My daughter has a cheer competetion tomorrow so it will be easy to do since we will get home late (but will definitely need a drink after that is over!) Sunday, we are going to a friends house for roof raising - steak dinner affair, lol:drinker: :drinker:
After reading this, it sounds as if I might have a "cheat" weekend! Have a great weekend all!:drinker: :drinker: :drinker:0 -
Thursday=3 drinks, one was a 22 oz kirin though, then two bud lights.
Going to the movies tonight, might have a drink before, with dinner, though.
No plans for the weekend so not sure how much drinking there will be. I am torn between being sober next week (the week before Mexico) or should I be conditioning for all-inclusive?0 -
Yesterday was a diaster!!! My husband's grandmother was in critical condition due to an obstruction in her bowel .She is the strongest woman I know, at the age of 83 she recovered and is in stable condition....AMAZING!! When we got the news she was having emergency surgery we drove to the hospital in South Jersey (about 2 1/2hr drive). We stayed down for the night and headed back up this morning. I ate crappy and drank too many beers FOR SURE....6 beers I think and 2 grape vodka and sprites!!!
All I wanna do tonight is relax on the couch and order a pizza.......0 -
Thanks for adding me to the group. I just started this year and I do great all week until Friday and then I start a crazy cycle of drinking and then eating to feel less hungover... I'm sure you know the score.
Cheers!0
