I had an Oktoberfest and half a bottle of Tempranillo Grenache at the party (but no cake!). Then I had a small glass of pinot noir that I didn't finish because I fell asleep wathcing Survivor. I call that moderation. Anything less than 4 seems like moderation to me. Because 4 is my magic number where I go from relaxed/buzzed to drunk. And then it just snowballs from there.....

0 tonight. Or maybe a tiny glass of red when I get home from my night meeting. I usually find I want a drink after neighborhood meetings. I go and neighbors b*tch about my projects which are developments in their neighborhoods. So it stresses me out. That an working an 11 hour day.

I have not been sleeping well at all and almost talked myself out of a work out today but got it done anyway. Then went out to lunch with the best friend and after that she helped rip up my dress for my costume which I think is going to be amazing when it comes together on Saturday. I'm pooped though and the husband is going to be late so I think I might just go up to bed and try and get some sleep :yawn:

Glad you're feeling better Mama Lush

2 shots of grape vodka...like, that's it. I chased it with diet coke. :laugh:

I had 3 yummy beers at the neighbor's last night ( in addition to some fantastic smoked wings and thighs so naturally that all needed beer) and about 8oz combined of wine before and after the visit. The meeting sucked. 60 angry neighbors and 3 news crews..... So drinks were in order. I am going to try to limit myself to 6 glasses or less of wine tonight. Good grief that sounds like a lot. But it's really not for a Friday. Happy Friday lushes!

.........................I'm ok with that

Especially since I had about 8 beers last night. I am too afraid to look in the recycle bin for fear it could be higher. I have son's birthday party today and of course feel like ****. It's at a trampoline place :sad: I wish he would have picked a movie theatre.

I think I am beginning to understand how moderation is better

Kate, if it's your favorite place have the hubs drive.

Chole, nice job on the zeros!!

See, compromise is what makes a good marriage

Chloe, you're rocking those 0s. Well done. Don't make us revoke your lush card

Couldn't help but laugh at that :laugh:

Stayed up until the husband got home which was around 1am, he said he thought I'd be asleep and I mentioned how I haven't been sleeping much. He gave me some sleep stuff which didn't work and I slept on and off this morning and am still tired. Not sure if we'll go out to dinner but I'm thinking an early night so we can be rested for our Thanks-o-weenie party tomorrow night

Wednesday - 0
Thursday - 1/2 bottle of wine
Friday - the other 1/2

Chloe - great work on the zeros, doesn't matter if it doesn't last, you earned it. :drinker:

Kim - You guys do rock! You are never too old to play.

Robin - Enjoy your tea vodka, I hear it has medicinal purposes at least temporarily.

Kat - Hope you get some good REM sleep tonight. :yawn:

Other lushes...have a good weekend!

Monday-Thursday- 0
Friday- 2 glasses of red, 2 vodka tonics and a michelob ultra

Tried out a new restaurant that opened up right by our house and it was really good. I love having new places to go that are close. We sat at the bar and the bartender was great too. I had a southwest chicken salad that was delicious! Going to a funeral now (yuck) and then on to the Oktoberfest party which should be a great time. Happy weekend fellow lushes :flowerforyou:

I think I'm going to have to start tallying on the back of my hand! I always lose count! Halloween celebrating...

Saturday- undeterminable amount of vodka sodas
Sunday- 0

Happy to find some like minded, weight-concious lushes!

Ad me, if you can be bothered with it, I'm new 'round these parts.

I'm new too, happy I found this group. I joined a different website and they were a bit judgmental about my drinking. They didn't seem to think you can lose weight and continue to drink. I love my vodka too much to give it up!

Saturday-2 glasses of red wine
Sunday-nothing yet but the night's still young

Add me if you want, I don't have any friends yet and could use some advice.

Another newbie here! My best girlfriends have nicknamed me Lush, so I think I'll feel right at home in this group! (Their nicknames are B!tch & $lut - I like mine best! :laugh: )

Any who... I was having a pretty alcohol free week until I had some friends over for a jewelry party on Thursday and drank 3/4 of a bottle of red wine. I had the rest on Friday and then finished the bottle of white that was left-over on Saturday followed by a beer with my pizza. Lets just say that yesterday was really bad for calories!

Not drinking today or in the near future, but before I know it Friday will arrive and I'll be looking to see what my wine fridge holds!
