Alcohol

I keep my limit to 2 beers, one or two nights a week. Any more than that and the hormonal and metabolic changes aren't worth it.

I have a drink once a week at least. I love my wine lol. I have a bottle of Pinot Grigio tonight, I just can't stop with a glass haha.

Exaxtly that I am trying to limit wine to weekends now.

Nothing else has really been working for me, so today is day 53 of no booze.

I eat clean (mostly), lift heavy, stay active.

I don't know what else I can do, but it doesn't look like I'll be wearing a swim suit in public this year

I drink maybe once every 2 weeks. But I don't include it in my calories. I want to enjoy it and not think about all that, and since I do it so infrequently I just don't worry about it!

I never "need" alcohol. But sometimes it's nice to enjoy a glass of something.

But have to watch those calories!

Do any of you still have a glass of wine here and there or other spirits? I know its taboo when trying to become healthier and more fit but, sometimes I need a little red wine! If any of you do still indulge, how much, how often and what?

Hey Shan- I belong to a group called "like minded lushes". People who are serious about their weight loss goals but also enjoy alcohol. It's a non judgemental group of adults who support each other. Check us out!

I DO. I love wine but so many calories. I can have two light beers for the same amount of calories as in one glass of wine. But my new favorite is Mojitos. Here's how: In a LARGE glass 1 1/2 oz light rum, 1 oz bottled Key Lime Juice (very good stuff), club soda and ice. Then just a splash of lemon lime soda to kill the bitterness of the club soda. Squeeze in 1/4 of a fresh lime and add 1/8 tsp or less of mint extract. In the summer I use fresh mint. If you like it sweeeter add Splenda. I think this is about 110 heavenly calories. The problem is staying away for the cheese and crackers.
