    Sod not drinking during week, I've just cracked open a bottle of red. Passed my final course module with a distinction which means I've been offered my degree with first class honours, 5 years of hard work has been worth it :happy: :drinker:

    BA hons humanities, I've done a mix of mainly history, archaeology, some religion, technology & music. I had a free choice of a certain number of modules as I went along so I did some science, evolution and nutrition too.

    On my 2nd glass of wine now and the cheap date phenomenon has kicked in- after a month of abstinence I'm pissed as a fart on almost no alcohol! :laugh: :drinker:

    Congrats Yvonne!!!

    I ended up having wine last night....probably about 15 oz, but I didn't measure. Planning on a zero for tonight.

    Congrats Yvonne!

    Thanks everyone for all the compliments on the pup. No name yet, want to see more of his personality first.

    I am going to try to abstain from drinking for two weeks. It's not that I am drinking a whole lot, but I am wanting it a little too much on a regular basis and I am sort of a control nut. Plus I want to lose the real pound I gained over Thanksgiving.

    Cheers :drinker:

    2 glasses of wine yesterday. I had a great day...very productive..good workout.
    Hopefully today will be the same although I currently have an adorable kitten cuddled up next to me as I sip my coffee. I have zero desire to move.

    Well done Kblue on that 0!!! Can't remember the last time I had one :blushing:

    Chloe, sorry about sick pup :ohwell: never fun when one of the fur babes doesn't feel well.

    Congrats Yvonne that's awesome! :flowerforyou:

    Wine last night with our home made stir fry which was delicious. Don't know what I would do if my husband wasn't an awesome cook. Monday we had chicken breast coated in panko bread crumbs with prosciutto and a little cheese baked in the oven. Along with some delicious ravioli in a pomodoro sauce and garlic bread. Not sure about tonight.

    I also had some of the spiked egg nog we picked up over the weekend last night, yum but I like to mix my own. I've been good with food and definitely good with pacing drinks and not having too much. I haven't been working out this week though because I've been putting up the rest of the decorations and trees as well as getting other housework done. Today I'd like to squeeze in a work out but I've got a kitchen to clean and a little more laundry to do.

    I'm sure there will be drinks tonight :smile: It is the holidays after all :wink:

    Congratulations Yvonne!

    No zero last night. The Vodka was calling my name *hangs head in shame* and I gave in.

    No 0 for me last night. I opened a bottle of red to enjoy while I addressed Christmas cards. Hubby had two glasses but I think they were small because I had four!
    Drinking from here on out for the rest of the week...

    And this is why I am not logging for the rest of the month. Unexpected pizza party tonight for my husbands little cousin. So beer or wine I am sure. December is the most ridiculous month ever when it comes to family obligations between the holidays and birthdays!

    Had a break in housework so I squeezed in an hour on the bike and am currently having a glass of red :smile: food is fine though, I just had a nice plate of yummy cold cuts which included maple ham, roasted turkey breast, prosciutto and a little piece of mozz cheese. Now husband is making crab and lobster ravioli with garlic bread for dinner :smile:

    JEEEEBUS @ the crab and lobster ravioli Kat!! I'm salivating!

    I had another productive day at work..but today was all at the computer..and my back is stiff and my *kitten* hurts (you think I'd have enough padding back there, for the love of pete!) I looked up and couldn't believe that so many hours had passed.

    Haven't eaten (so those ravioli sounded ESPECIALLY good) I'm having a vodka/diet squirt/splash of pom which has gone straight to my head. I need to eat something.

    Monday, 5.3'ish beers
    Tuesday, bottle and flight of 3, 6'ish
    Wednesday, 0


    Total: 11.3 drinks

    Already off to a lushy week. Hoping to log a zero again for tomorrow because I have a feeling the weekend is going to be a joke.

    Peace out!!

    Monday-0
    Tuesday- about 15 oz of red
    Wednesday- 4 oz red and 5 miller lites (I think)

    Uggh I haven't drank that much beer in awhile and it made me feel super icky and bloated. Definitely zero tonight and maybe even tomorrow. I feel like a blob.

    I had a triple vodka/peach fresca during class last night...yep, that's right IN CLASS. It was the last session of the semester, so we were only there for an hour. Then, I went home and snuggled the kids and watched The Walking Dead with the husband.

    Husband and a I are all caught up on Walking Dead and I do not want to wait until Feb for the new episodes :angry:

    Socal your profile pic is beautiful!!! And the ravioli was scrumptious.

    Had some beers, a glass of wine and a super tiny shot glass of spiked nog last night. Tonight is the husbands late night and I don't feel like doing a darn thing today so I'm going to pretend I'm on vacation and just hang out in our bedroom with our new bed set and mini fridge :smile: I also totally forgot the husband has to go to London for work this weekend so that put a damper on my mood which also means drinks all weekend.

    Perhaps I'll get a work out in later but I'm not too concerned, I'll be good with food ... drinks on the other hand :wink:

    Well I was going to aim for a 0 tonight but after reading about all the lushiness I think I need to join in :happy: :drinker:

    So in the small pic it looks blurry but not so bad if you click on it ... in an event, my new pic is of my reset engagement ring and my wedding band :heart: Took longer than I liked for the engagement ring to be done, mostly because I did not like having to trust someone with it but it was worth the wait :smile:

    Thanks Kat. In honor of Throwback Thursday I'm reliving my college pic. I pretty much look the same...if you add 25 years and 20 pounds...lol. Your ring sure is purty :)

    I've been thinking about those ravioli since last night. We do Lobster for New Years Eve and I can't wait!

    I have an awesome "throwback" pic of my best friend her brother and I when we were little I should put up haha. You remind me of someone I know but I can't put my finger on it. And thank you =]

    Lobster for New Years is a fabulous idea!! We always have friends that stay the night and we party pretty hard but I'm sure I could convince the husband to get lobster for New Years day after everyone leaves as a nice first day of the year being married specialty =}

    We get the ravioli from Whole Foods, they have so many different kinds. I think the spinach ravioli we had on Monday or Tuesday was my favorite but the lobster/crab was tasty. Husband put a little clam juice in with the pasta sauce for a little more of a sea food kick which worked well and the garlic bread to soak up the sauce was key. Probably won't be a yummy dinner to report tonight but who knows, if I'm feeling zesty then maybe I'll whip something together ... though you digest liquids quicker so maybe a liquid dinner :tongue: .

    Oops, too big. Lets try again. We're going to move the exercise bike and weights out and turn one of the spare bedrooms into an exercise room since we're waiting on the kid thing.
