a couple of vodka diet gingerales last night. Aiming for zeros the rest of the week. Just need to buck up and do it.0

Monday - 0 woooooooo!
Yes that is big for me considering I've had drinks yes multiple drinks every day or night for the last month minus the one 0 for last week.
0 tonight too
It'll be tough starting tomorrow since the fiancé will be gone from tomorrow until Friday night and I always have a really hard time sleeping when he's gone. If I can make it through that though then I know I can maintain 0's during the week .... hopefully.0 -
Went out to dinner with some friends last night because my friend is moving to Virginia this week! So, since we were at Abuelos...and everyone else was having a margarita, I had to have one (or 2) as well!! They were tasty...and certainly made grocery shopping afterwards a lot more fun. LOL.0

Me too, Kat! Last night was a 0, and I think last monday was a 0, but mostly had been drinking every night for months.
Will try to go for 0 tonight too...0 -

Glad I'm not alone, we can totally get 0's tonight 0 -

Planning on 0's all week and possibly through the weekend. The weekend is really hard tho but we will see. I think my goal needs to be just keep it to a 3 max for the whole week. Sounds tough tho...0 -

I know I can do 0's, there was a time when I was on this crazy fitness kick and I didn't even want a beer on the weekends. However right now with wedding planning 0's seem to be few and far between but now that it finally seems to be coming together 0's should be a little easier.
This thread is great either way, if you get the 0's you want ... awesome, if you cave and have a drink or many ... it's not the end of the world =]0 -
Another 4 last night...I made myself stop and drink water
Going to go for a zero tonight. I am working on a household budget and going for a refi on the house. I've been wanting to refi but waiting to see what happens with Ron's job. It's enough to make you want to drink.0 -
Monday - 2 glasses of red
Tuesday - 1/2 bottle of white
I have been
ing my wine lately! Made a wonderful dinner of linguini in a lemon cream sauce with spinach and cod. It is from this Pasta Light cookbook that has low calorie recipes. So yummy!
To the lushes going for zeros this week...cheers!
To the lushes who are planning on being lushy...cheers!0 -
Monday, 4 beers & 3 vodkas (really?? Who does this on a Monday?)
Tuesday, 4 vodka/soda
Wednesday, 0...it's official
Thursday, shooting for a 0
I'll leave for Chicago on Friday. I'm sure it will be lushy; but, budget lushy. I'm wanting to go to Florida in October and I need to save some $$$. If I can't make it in October then Spring for sure. I'll take the boys to a water park and Lincoln Park Zoo. I have to go back in July for a wedding; so, we will do the Six Flags and museums then when I pinch some more pennies. The landscaping (retaining wall) & Kyle's grad party are sending the $$$ flying.
I need to keep my butt home and out of restaurants and happy hours. I seem to spend a lot in those areas as well as shopping in general.
Ha, good time to budget, right? While I'm traveling, grrr.0 -
Yay Chicago!!! Have fun!!
Monday-0

staying strong!0 -
Kim sounds like you got lots of traveling coming your way!!! Enjoy Chicago....great city!!!
Sunday-0
Monday-1 beer (cleaned basement)
Tuesday- 1 beer (cleaned second floor)
Wednesday-1 beer (cleaning kitchen)
Can I just say again, that a beer while cleaning makes life better
0 -
two vodka diet lemonades. I am consistent and starting to feel like my mother. Just a couple of cocktails in the evening right?
Kim I feel you on the save money to travel but have a bunch of sh1t to do around the house. it sucks. (dog kennel $1500) replace the grass, finish building the planter etc. I need to get to Vegas to kiss those Olivia adorable cheeks and I want to go someplace fun in the fall.
To all those aiming for zero's - good for you
To all those enjoying your inner lushness - good for you.
Have a great day.0 -
I've done you all proud while in Laguna Beach. I didn't even attempt to count. You know it's bad when people said they had conversations with you and you have zero recollection :huh:
Another day...then back for the son's graduation..then I really need to get back with the program. I can tell I've put on the lbs without even getting on the scale. Things should be quiet for a while after graduation so that will help.
I am going to put on the hrm on later today and try to burn some calories. I brought an exercise DVD so I think I'll throw it on in a bit before starting the eating and drinking today. :drinker:
Oh..here's the amazing view I've had all week.

Monday - 0
Tuesday - 0
Really hoping for a 0 tonight, tomorrow and maybe Friday but the fiancé is gone so we'll see what happens. While alone time is great, this big ol' house seems even bigger when it's just me and sleeping usually doesn't happen.0 -

But tonight, I got last minute plans to meet a friend for Mexican food and I have to have a marg. So, I was thinking, maybe I should not drink Friday, as a trade off?0 -

Ooohhhh good luck Amy!!!!0 -
Woop, go us!!!
Friday will be a tough one for me ... because it's Friday haha.
If you can do the trade off then go for it! If not, we still have our two 0's in a row So we can say we're getting to more 0's in a row slowly but surely and not just going cold turkey haha. 0 -
right. if I get Thursday a 0 that's still three zeros for the week, maybe four next week... We have to warm up, wouldn't want to pull somethingWoop, go us!!!

Hahaha exactly. I figure last week I had 1 0, this week so far I have 2 so that would still be a good start. Then maybe 3 next week!0 -
I was fighting the urge for a drink all night but I survived and will be going to bed soon
Getting together with childhood friends tomorrow, thinking there won't be any drinks but if there are then I certainly am not going to turn one down One is a friend in my wedding (friends since 5th grade) the other who we've both been friends with since 5th grade moved down to Louisiana and is visiting so we're going to see her and her baby
Even if there are drinks tomorrow then I'll try for 0 on Friday and that will still be 4 for the week.0 -

Thanks babes your comment certainly stuck in my mind and I'm glad I made it :happy:
Looking forward to catching up with friends in a bit. Plan for today/night is still 0 but we'll see what the day/evening holds in store. Thinking definitely a 0 for tomorrow which I think will be the first ever aside from when I used to not drink. Fiancé comes home tomorrow night and will not have had a chance to eat so I'm going to make him something for dinner and heat it up when he gets home 0 -
Nice job Kat!!!
Kate- I love when I have weeks where I clean throughout the week and then my weekend isn't consumed by housework. And drinking does always make it easier!
Monday-0

Today will be a struggle. The hubs is off and he is sealcoating the driveway all day so I know he will be up for some cocktails and we are grilling porkchops and zucchini. And grilling is always better with a beer. I am trying to force myself to stick with the MGD 64 throughout the summer bc my beer drinking increases so much through the summer that I need to watch cals. I did buy a new bottle of absolute vodka (my fav) so I could do that with a tonic and I'm sure I have some limes. Look at me already talking myself into a drink!!!! Ahhh summertime!! and the weather is PERFECT here all through the weekend!0 -

If your husband is anything like mine....he'd be down a few beers before I even got home from work with a project like that, haha!!!!
I love vodka tonics. I have to hit the liquor store tomorrow for our get together this saturday, and vodka will definitely we purchased for that particular drink!!!! :laugh:
Weather is perfect here too.....saturday can not come fast enough!!!
Enjoy your drinks...if you so choose 0 -
Very true Kate he will probably be started before I get home, which is the worst because I HAVE to get in my run when I get home still. I also buy the diet tonic so they are really not bad when you make them at home and so refreshing.....ughh I don't know how I am going to make it through this day!0

I have been working really hard and I was so brain fried last night that I drank a bottle of white. Today I have to give the training I have developed for the first time and I am nervous and so my stomach is completely jacked. The wine probably didn't help that situation. Ah you gotta love the stress.
Syd the view is amazing. Wish I was there.0
