    Monday- 0

    On the subject of box wine (because I am a total wino and buying bottles gets expensive) I have to say my favs are Black Box and the Wine Cubes from Target.

    Kate, you could also do jello shots. Mardarin orange & lime are very good. You can google tons of recipes. Oh, here's a link for caipirinha...instead of cachaça, you can use a high quality vodka. I had these in a restaurant and had to find the recipe. De-lish :bigsmile:

    TOTALLY still lush friends!!! And...I will probably drink more beer then I even anticipated tonight!! My poor boys...they can't make a shot worth ****!!! I need to turn it off! You have the right idea...

    I LOVE How I Met Your Mother!! My hubby and I watch that together...that is one of our "together" shows. LOL. Lame, I know...but it's soooooo funny & I LOVE Barney!

    Ohmygoodness I love, love, LOVE Barney! He totally reminds me of one of my fiancés best friends. I just love the show :smile: it's not lame at all. Kyle watches it when I have it on and I catch him laughing every now and then. We had been watching Breaking Bad together but we reached the last episode that was on Netflix so that's over and we're back onto Madmen. Can't wait for SOA to be back this summer though!

    I started from the beginning on Netflix, haven't seen any recent ones but as soon as they're on Netflix I'll watch. I watch reruns on FX, it's on right now :smile:

    I love the episode where Lily moves in with Barney for a bit.

    Having some wine right now, too much last night, oh well. Tack another tally onto this being a lushy week haha.

    mmm..mahi mahi burgers sound awesome! do you have a recipe? I never think to make them. I need more fish in my life.

    Monday-0 but that's because I was so hungover from the sh!tload I drank on Sunday :glasses:
    Tuesday- some wine. but not going crazy.
    Plan to keep it pretty moderate until the weekend, then all bets are off because we're going out of town. The people we are staying with drink like fish. I can hear the voice in my head already "Sydney, pace yourself" :drinker:

    You're doing good Kim!

    Ha, ha, Syndey...I am trying to redeem myself in some sort of way. Have fun with the fishes. Your going to need ibuprofen & Monster lemonade. I was seriously addicted to those Monsters every afternoon. I finally broke the habit.

    That's just how I am I like to think I can hang with the best of em, and compared to some people I may be able to drink a lot, but we have some friends that I just feel like a huge light weight around. I end up being wasted while there all still going strong!

    I second the request for the recipe for the mahi burgers, I actually have some mahi in my freezer right now!

    Monday- 0
    Tuesday- 0
    Wednesday- will be 0
    Thursday- my 3 day weekend begins and so does my drinking :drinker:

    so there was only a tiny bit of wine in the box last night and I did not open a bottle, or a beer, or pour myself a vodka tonic, so can that make last night a 0?

    Hellooo everyone! I'm new here and really like this group's concept, I think it will help me get on track to post here!

    Quick introduction:

    I never used to like the taste of alcohol when I was really young.. tried to drink beer to fit in and my friends would razz me because I'd sometimes use a straw because I hated the taste of it. Same with hard liquor, not my bag.. except maybe for the ultra rare margarita or pina colada. Gradually as an adult I developed a taste for wine.. I started off with dryer wines and didn't like the taste at first.. so would only rarely have any, a bottle would last me a month. Then I discovered sweet wines.. and developed a bit more tolerance, although I'm a lightweight. These days I'm back to the dry wine for carbs sake and in hope of at least some health benefit.. and have at times finished a bottle over the course of a late afternoon/evening but I'm trying to stop that.. I can get away with it if I earn the calories for it but I don't feel great the next morning from it.. and lately as I've lost weight it definitely kicks my butt more when I indulge too much.

    So my current goal/challenge for myself is 2 servings maximum in an evening.. and not every evening.. with a lot more 0 days back to back.

    Monday April 2nd was a 0
    Tuesday April 3rd was a 3 and it kicked my butt pretty hard felt woozy last night and this morning so
    today, Wednesday April 4th will be a 1 (finish off that bottle and be rid of it)

    Thursday I'm scheduled to go to a wine tasting so I expect will be a 2.
