    AHHH the dogs are adorable!!

    The better half and I way over did it this weekend. One of our bars closed down and well, we helped them close down on Friday. I lost track of the beer and shots. :(

    We both decided that maybe we need to back off on the drinking for a bit.

    Fri - 7 beers and I lost my car for a minute. I was in the wrong parking garage.

    This made me laugh because I've been there. It's like WTF, where's the car.

    Lushy Sunday but I'm learning to really focus just sipping and keeping track of time since that is what most contributes to alcohol processing. At least for me, I notice no matter how much water or food I have if I have my drinks too close together then I just drunk and then it's a bad situation. Where as if I just sip the drinks and don't chug them like water then the buzz just comes on gradually and then stays that way provided I don't then start drinking my boozy beverages quickly haha. I had 4 homemade margaritas and 2 large beers at lunch. They were all spaced out though so I just had a nice steady buzz all day, got to bed around 11 and no hangover =]

    Fiancés parents bought him an 18 count wine bottle fridge so it is currently chilling down to temp. Dual zone for red and white with a nifty light inside. We don't have much wine right now since I basically drank it all myself ... oops. Aunt dot is here so I won't have much of an appetite this week, so I may have to shoot for some liquid cals :wink:

    I had to read this a couple times...I was thinking why does Aunt Dot make her lose her appetite then I realized she is related to Aunt Flo! :laugh:

    I am the same way...if I sip, no hangover, also if I drink water in between.

    Hitting the vodka/diet/cran-grape lite tonight, but last night was zero!

    Hahaha I have different names for her, luckily I don't get her cousins Bonnie Bloat or Connie Cramps. I never used to sip, I would just drink alcoholic drinks like normal drinks and I'd go from sober to drunk with really no in between and then I would want to still drink even though I knew I should stop. I'm finally listening to my body when it comes to booze not just food. For me water and food mean nothing, it's all in the time span in which drinks are had. On our cruise I would have the same amount each night and would have 1.5 liters of water before bed. When I got to sleep as late as I wanted I wouldn't have a hangover but on the last day when I had the same amount of booze as every other night, I had my water too but had to be up at 6am to get off the ship and it was a miserable day.

    I've got a margarita right now, may have a second, we'll see!

    Friday, 0 work in the AM
    Saturday, 0 work in the AM
    Sunday, ???

    I think I am going to start the C25K this week.

    I am really loving the barre yoga even tho I suck at it and I am not very zen-like. I like the low impact workout with a high calorie burn. As you know, this body is getting old. But, I still have my Groupon for the pole dancing classes. :wink: :bigsmile:

    You'll get better at it Kim! I might have to check out exactly what barre yoga is....I'm down with regular all bendy yoga but not barre!!!

    Monday-0
    Tuesday-0.....mostly likely. I do have an extra 130something calories to make up tonight but I will try and just stuff my face instead of drinking :bigsmile:

    Kate, the barre yoga is some traditional yoga mixed with working on a dancer's barre. I have a new appreciation for dancer's bodies. Good look with the 130 cals remaining.

    I am shooting for a zero tonight; however, it's really my only night I can fully indulge :bigsmile:

    Alright, I have to get some housework stuff done and errands. Hmmmm, maybe I'll ride my bike to get them done?

    Thought about a 0 for today since this is pretty much 2 weeks straight with drinks everyday but my best friend who is also my MOH texted last night that she's been really depressed lately and asked what I was doing this weekend and unfortunately it's the Bermuda weekend. So she texted today and we're going out for lunch and a movie and she said she was going to have a drink because it's already been one of those weeks. I said well I never turn down a cocktail haha so here we are. Maybe a 0 tomorrow?

    It would be rude not to accept. :wink:

    So I only had one tequila shot last night and on vodka rocks. Not to bad.

    I have a meeting at 1130 today and I am going to ride my bike there. The meeting is 4 hours. I give credit to people with desk jobs. There is no way I could sit for 8 hours a day.

    I don't really mind my desk job. I enjoy having my own office & working. LOL. But it does suck when it's so pretty outside, but when it's nasty...I LOVE it!

    Bridget, at least you have your own office. You can goof off a bit when necessary.

    Oh, I also give credit to teachers. Not only do they teach, they have to deal with administration and parents. Oy vay!!

    OK, hopping on my bike to get this over with. Going to learn about pain, types of pain and how to manage it. DUH!!

    bgrune131 Posts: 703 Member
    Yes that is true. When all my work is done, I typically play around on the Internet...as you can tell. LOL.

    Enjoy your bike ride :)

    I REALLY need to get back on the exercise wagon! It's been probably about 1/2 a month or more now :( Ooops.

    I think a total of 8 drinks between lunch before the movie and a few drinks after. I came home and went straight to bed, fiancé made me some dinner and then I just slept. No hangover but also no appetite thanks to Flo, so I'm thinking there will be some wine tonight since I probably won't have dinner. We shall see though.

    Sunday=3 beers
    Monday=Marg (made with tequila, triple sec and soda) 1 beer
    Tuesday=8 oz of white wine-while watching the very last episode of Desperate Housewives-I stuck it out to the bitter end!
    Tonight, Rockies game, and a suite, not sure if beer is free but either way, I will be drinking some!

    Dang, Amy, you've got rockin' abs :smokin:

    Sydney, good luck at the MD tomorrow.

    Kat, I would have gone right to bed as well - or - maybe, just drink more :wink:

    I will be good tonight, work in the AM. :smile:

    Hahaha, I've learned to go to bed when I know I should. Had I kept drinking I would have had one heck of a hangover, while I didn't exactly pace myself as I'm getting better at, I did realize that I should just get in bed and watch some great movies while the fiancé got to play his video game =]

    Tonight, I had some salad for dinner because the fiancé gets worried if I don't eat, doesn't matter if it's that time of the month or not, he really is so damn sweet :heart: But aside from that all I had today was a salmon burger and a few chips so I've been drinking Bud LIght Lime and watching one of my all time favorite shows (because I totally should have been born in this time) Mad Men :smile:

    Went to get "supplies" for this time and the girl who checked us out said they should be tax deductible. Right?! I mean I guess you could go with out lady supplies but it would be bad. Anyway I'm very thankful I don't take after my mom or gram and don't get cramps but I do get absolutely exhausted which is usually exacerbated by lifting weights. It seems when my muscles are trying to repair that I simply can't get enough sleep. I do however get one heck of an attitude haha, the fiancé sometimes like to poke fun during this time but when he realizes I'm serious and not kidding around he immediately apologizes :smile: I am one very lucky girl to be marrying this man in a little over 4 months and to have already been with him for almost 9 years :heart:
