    Kat, chinese food is one of my weaknesses! I have to stay far away from it because I love it so much!

    So far this week:

    Sunday - 0
    Monday - 0
    Tuesday - will be 0

    I'm hoping to make it all the way to Friday or Saturday (or beyond) without drinking. But, we'll see how well that works out. LOL. It is TOM so that may change!

    Sydney...have fun at your b-day weekend...b-day, right? I think the idiot has to flare their ugly head every once in a while to keep us in check...now, it's someone else's turn. You didn't get escorted out of a club, do you? Ha, ha

    HAHA..no Kim. You take the cake with that one, my dear friend. Someone seriously needs to take away my phone and computer when I'm drunk though. :embarassed:

    Well I managed another 0 last night. This is the point where I usually cave. Let's see if I can hold on another 2 days.

    Sat-0
    Sun-0
    Mon-0
    Hoping for Tues and Wed as well. The scale inched downward today so that's motivating me.

    Had a serious food hangover from the chinese we got. Where I know I can control my alcohol if I just listen to myself it doesn't matter how much or little of chinese I have, I always feel terrible the next day. Think I need to just completely kick it.

    I get the same way. No more for me. I'm done with it.

    I'm in the day 3 club too!! I have 1/2 bottle of wine at home & a couple of beers, but I don't think I'll be drinking them tonight :) Staying good!

    I like Chinese but I can live without it, especially with how bad it makes me feel the next day. Fiancé thinks I'm allergic to msg but I just think my body doesn't like Chinese, way too much sodium. I'm fine with giving it up, bread I could never give up haha.

    0 last night and just got done with an hour on the bike, looking forward to bumming around on the couch with the fiancé when he gets home :smile:

    :sad: :sad: :sad:

    I SUCK! The son just told me I need to sleep in tomorrow for my birthday..so I instantly translate that to "well in that case, I should have a drink!"

    That's it. 3 days really is my official maximum I can go without alcohol.

    Fiancé started earnings which means most if not all nights for the next 2 & 1/2 weeks he will be late and I'll barely see him :ohwell: Here comes the test on whether I can refrain from the booze during the week. Although I'm definitely back onto one of my fitness kicks so I think I should be okay and even okay on the weekends when we have drinks. Time will tell though. I've got Shoulders & Arms and a bike ride for today's work out :smile:

    Monday-0
    Tuesday-as predicted I did not refrain...12oz of wine
    Wednesday-not sure yet. I missed my morning workout to sleep in and it was GLORIOUS. I have to hit the gym after work and that will determine whether I drink or not. I haven't been to the gym at night since the new year :drinker: heres hoping that its not as crazy busy anymore!!!!

    Hubs and I couldn't sleep last night. We are super stressed about his work changes that happen today. So, at 11:30 we decided to get out of bed and drink some wine. Then, we got some more wine. We are sick. Nothing else I can say.

    Hubs has 2nd interview with new company on Friday.

    Happy Birthday to you
    Happy Birthday to you
    Happy Birthday, Dear Sydney
    Happy Birthday to youuuuuuuuu

    Hope you have a great day

    Sunday, 0
    Monday, 1
    Tuesday, 3
    Wednesday, probs...

    I am going to play tennis with my daughter today. I should burn some good cals there. Mostly squats for ball retrieval because I suck.

    Okay - I will recap for the week:

    Sunday 0
    Monday 1 vodka tonic
    Tuesday 3 bud a rita (these suck by the way) Bud Light Lime Bud Rita
    Going to try to slow things down a bit!

    My youngest daughter's first Prom is this week and she has kept me very busy with her high maintenance self! Hubby is still out looking for work. Oldest daughter starts new classes in a few weeks. I am already tired, lol!

    Sydney - Happy Birthday!

    Kim - good luck with your hubs and have fun playing tennis - I suck too, but great workout!

    Kat - you can do it!

    Ok, what it a bud a rita? I like beer mixed with marg. Remember tequiza? I liked that too... even in Mexico I ordered a beer and a marg and poured them together.

    Last night: 4 beers, all different kinds. No reason to, I was drinking alone...

    Thanks for the bday wishes! I'm just waking up, no hangover, which is good.

    Kim, I hope things go well for the husband. Job stress is an awful thing. Mine really hates his and it takes such a horrible toll on your well being.

    Taking off for a long weekend tomorrow. Probably not much logging but just assume I will do all you lushes proud. :drinker:

    I was thinking this morning it would be amazing to just light some candles tonight and have some wine. Fiancé will be late so it would be a nice "me" night, BUT, I'm going to wait until tomorrow and see where that leads me.

    Monday - 0
    Tuesday - 0
    Wednesday - 0
    Thursday - 0

    Kate, the pineapple vodka will be delish I'm sure

    Kat, wtg with all the zeros.

    I was super lushy last night. I don't even know the number. All I know is I made gf go home at 1 and I got up to make an egg sandwich for my son at 7 and I went back to bed. Eventually, woke up at 10.

    I work in the AM...so, 0 for tonight

    Thanks nisi =] my health kick has set in and the lose weight get my awesome toned arms back thing has taken over haha. Doing double work outs, only eating when I'm hungry and not super indulging like before. The no booze thing comes easy when that happens, thankfully, though the real test will be if I get 0's next week too. I haven't gone more than a week with lots of 0's so far so it's a nice challenge for me.

    lushy week!
    Sunday= bottle of white
    Monday=2 beers
    Tuesday=4 beers
    Wednesday=1/2 bottle of white and 3 beers
    Thursday=going out to dinner for dining out for life, so there will probably be a couple of drinks.

    Well, hello there strangers!!

    I've really not been lushy at all. I had 3 red bull and vodkas last Saturday at the first "posse fire" of the year and I had a Blue Moon last night with my grad school cohort.

    I have not, however, lost any weight or really seen any difference...other than not feeling like *kitten* the next morning. :laugh:

    Look at that gorgeous pic of Kat!!

    So, that's been my debauchery in a (very small) nutshell. I'm hoping that by being "good" all the months leading up to summer means I won't go crazy--it may be hard though. I love drinking in front of a fire!

    Awww you're too sweet Dot :blushing: :flowerforyou: Happy to see a post from you! Drinking in front of a fire is so relaxing, I'm buying the fiancé a super nice fire pit for our deck, so really it's for the house but the guy has everything! AND buys himself everything so birthdays and Christmas and anniversaries are getting a little more difficult haha.

    You are making it very hard to not have some wine, especially when I've been good with food today and got in a great bike ride!
