Like Minded Lushes - November

Hey lushes....I think my grand total for the week was:

4 margaritas
9 beers
3 martinis with 2 pours each (6, rough estimate)
3 bottles of wine (15 glasses)
1.5 bottles of champagne (7.5 glasses)

41.5 total:noway: ...I haven't been this bad since the summer...well, I am turning over a new leaf tomorrow...just went grocery shopping to the tune of $225 with tons of meats, veggies and fruits....time to DETOX

This weeks' goal is less than 10...hope I don't withdrawl

WOW, but if you are going to do something you have to do it properly and I think achieved it :laugh: I'm sure you will be fine getting back on track, enjoy those veggies

Thank you, I try to go above and beyond....I though about your winter veggies dilemna, how about beef stew with potatoes, carrots & peas, brocolli soup or pasta fagiolo...I have recipes if any of them interest you...

I am drinking some pinot noir right now! this weekend, well, started Wednesday with Wild Turkey Wednesday, but I didn't have Wild Turkey so I drank rum in rootbeer, it was pretty tasty, then we went out for dinner and I had two bud lights.
Thursday there was two bud lights, followed by wine with dinner (the bottle they sent home with me and I am drinking right now).
I did not keep track Friday, we went on wine tasting to four vineyards, then had chicken noodle soup and a couple of more bud lights.
Saturday I had a couple of margs I made with tequila, sprite and lime seltzer, then a house marg at a mexican restaurant and a couple coors lights hanging out.
Tonight I poured this wine, then we went to dinner and I had an agave wheat beer, breckenridge brewery-really yummy if you like wheat beer, and it's a local brew.
I am worried about the weigh-in tomorrow!

Holiday total: In the RV on the way to Nebraska...2 diet cokes with whipped cream vodka.
Once we were there...2 shots of Canadian MIst (blech!) and a few beers
On thanksgiving...several glasses of wine
Friday...several beers
Saturday...several red bull and vodkas
Sunday...one red bull and vodka

I've gotten my alcohol on for a few days and I'm ready for a break! :laugh:

I was really bad over the weekend and especially last night. Skyy vodka and 1800 tequila shots on special!!! Do I need help? I love that stuff. Too many specials!!! I am going to take a break starting tomorrow, lol. Wish me luck fellow lushes:drinker:

welp ... I made it thru thanksgiving with my mom without any alcohol.

Did you have pangs for the alcohol or has it become easier at this point?

SO happy I found this thread I count the calories and for sure factor in the liquid calories. Glad to know we are together here! I have just started and hoping to drop 30lbs ... so every bit of motivation and team support helps. my like minded lushes

Hi friends! Sorry I've been MIA but I took a little hiatus from posting online (didn't take a break from healthy eating.....except for Thanksgiving.....and day after thanksgiving......and the sunday after......but besides that, NO CHANGE......). I definitely splurged BIG TIME on alcohol last saturday when my Seminoles played their rivals, the Gators. GO NOLES!!!! Had 4 of my little brothers 'foreign' beers.....soooooooooooo good when it hits your lips!!! I cut myself off after four and didn't feel too bad the next day.

Actually lost a pound (probably b/c I ran 25 miles last week, haha).....thankful for that.....back on to healthy eating with a vengence as I want to lose at least 5 lbs by Christmas!!!

I was not alcohol free last night, had 2 bud lights. Tonight I think we will have wine with dinner and tomorrow I might drink after mani/pedis with a friend. Thursday maybe no drinks.
I have not tried rum in cider, that sounds good and warming!

If you have a Trader Joe's near you, their Spiced Cider is delish. We warm the cider then pour in some Capt Morgan's or Sailor Jerry's let it warm again, then enjoy! It is sooo good and sooo high in calories :drinker:

Did anyone else read this post to the tune of The 12 Days of Christmas?

OK, seriously - I suspect many of us have weeks like that. If we get in extra exercise, lots of water and some healthy eating, you can undo the negative effects.
