    One grape vodka and red bull last night. I think I need to stop at the store and get some peach fresca...ooh, peach vodka + peach fresca would be yum.

    Tonight, who knows?

    So, it all started with cleaning out the fridge on a cool, dark November.......

    ...............thought I should just drink that large porter beer in the fridge

    and that was all it took to unleash the beer guzzling monster........

    Monday, 7 beers
    Tuesday, Big Fat Zero

    I should go for zeroes sometime! :)

    Had 2 doubles last night and a lovely dinner with my man, and then a lovely shower and evening with my man... ;)

    Life before kids... Do you remember it?

    I am almost even with the amount of time of with/without kids...in two years I will be dead even...been married almost as long as I've been single.

    Day 6 still alcohol free. I'm drooling over some of the drinks you guys are indulging in though :frown: can't help thinking this week would be rather more bearable if it was doused in copious amounts of alcohol

    Yvonne, I'm so impressed.

    Kim...you make me LOL. At least your fridge is clean.
    Robin...you and my hubs both find new jobs and new bosses. :ohwell:

    Sunday- wine. Several glasses while watching my shows as usual.
    Mon-0
    Tues- I'm thinking several vodkas. I'll blame it on the election. I did workout and have the calories so what the hell.

    Ended up with wine. Husband will be late =\ much easier to get my 0's when he's home. Had a bag of 94% fat free popcorn for dinner and am watching The Santa Clause :smile:

    Think I'll head to bed early, I'm beat, cleaned more today and worked out.

    Looking forward to the husband getting back to normal hours.

    We split a bottle of wine last night. I had a picture in my head of us drinking 2 bottles watching the election results and getting a little drunk, but instead we finished a "scary" movie and i fell asleep watching The Amazing Race at 9:15. Lame, but good. Tonight is 1/2 price bottle at our spot.

    Sun - 0
    Mon - 0
    Tues - 2 glasses of red

    Monday, 7 beers and a clean fridge
    Tuesday, 0
    Wednesday, planning for another zero

    I really feel much better when I have a zero...I just don't know why I don't have more of them :huh:

    I think that I will be eliminated out of my contest today. It overall helps to run one and keeps me accountable - for as accountable as a lush can be :drinker:

    Of course, I was cancelled for my extra shift. I have Barre Burn yoga at 10:45, a work meeting at 1230 and maybe, just maybe, a little treadmill this evening.

    BB, well done on the moderation, schmoderation...

    Ended up talking to mom on the phone and having too much wine, oh well. My holiday case of wine with one bottle of champagne was delivered this morning so that could pose a problem with shooting for a 0 tonight. Still have a work out on the books and right now I'm waiting for my food to be delivered.

    On another note, it's snowing here!!!!! :bigsmile: So I'm watching the Santa Clause again and snuggling with the pups :smile:

    Sorry Love, I should put a lid on it sometimes :blushing: Bad thing about it is it makes it hard to drag myself upstairs to work out :indifferent: We keep the bedroom cool otherwise I cannot sleep so starting the work out stinks because it's so cold but then when I'm sweating like crazy I'm thankful haha.

    Kat I'm jealous of your snow, oh and the wine too!

    Today is the first day since I started my no-no November that I've had a craving for sweet junky things, I'm lucky that I don't have much of that stuff in the house so it's easier to resist.

    Changed my loss goal from .5lb to 1 lb per week. That's like... 4 drinks per day that I have to cut out! But it's more likely the food will go. :)

    wed- at very least 5!

    I think I may be doomed. Weight loss will be getting even more difficult. My state just legalized recreational weed.:bigsmile:

    I like the math.

    Just half a bottle of red and half a Corona Light last night. I fell asleep before I could finish the beer. I clearly have not adjusted to daylight savings time yet......

    Maybe 0 tonight. Maybe a beer. Mmmm...maybe a dirty martini. I'm not going to buy wine desptie the fact that I dont' have to work tomorrow. Is it bad that a dirty martini already sounds good to me at 8:30am?

    Hell no Ashley!!!!
    Recreational pot, Robin...I'm moving to your neck of the woods :laugh:

    Sunday-0
    Monday-10oz of wine
    Tuesday-12oz of wine
    Wedneday-20ish-oz of wine....:blushing:
    Thursday-I have 10oz prelogged :happy:

    Looking forward to the weekend. We were supposed to host a cousins dinner party saturday but 4 out of the 6 couples couldn't make it so we decided to postpone. I'm thinking of cleaning a bit and definitely NEED to reorganize my closet. This my friends will require some beers and or mixed drinks. I already have two crockpot recipes ready to go for the weekend so no take out (like usual) and hopefully no hangovers too :laugh:
