Me too!!! And all this talk about my wine glasses is pushing me towards them tonight (the big one)
It is snowing out right now and I think I will make my husband go for a walk to the store with me. There isn't supposed to be much accumulation, I'm actually exciting to walking in it!!!!!0 -
Well, I am not contributing to the self control of this thread. Went to dinner, it was awesome, split a bottle of wine and a brownie with caramel ice cream for dessert, then went around the corner for a beer.
tonight I am hosting Dexter watching and made chicken tortilla soup, my calories are looking low for the day, so I think I will probably have some beer.
I think I figured out why my tax situation changed from a refund last year, to owing this year and it was because of my withholding, I claimed to be single in 2010 even though I wasn't, I just didn't change it on my withholding, but that was better for me, because I changed it to married in 2011 and they didn't withhold enough so now I owe.0 -

It was Amy's birthday, she had a good excuse!!0

Amy, that sounds like a superb dessert, hope you had a great birthday.
I'm on day 8 of no drinks, it's been pretty easy so far as I've not been feeling great so haven't wanted to eat much either. Although I'm having a pretty stressful time at work at the moment, I got interviewed by a team of outside consultants today who are looking at cost improvements and efficiencies so this is where the future of my job is coming in to question. I just want to know what's going to be happening for definite as it's been uncertain since last August. Normally I'd be using this as justification for a mid-week glass of wine (or 2) but not today :happy: That first glass of wine in a few weeks time sure will taste good though :drinker:0 -

I definitely realize my self control isn't so great when it comes to me and my boozy beverages.0 -
Hey Lushes,
Monday, 0
Tuesday, 0
Wednesday, 0
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
