so last night I was totally set for a "0" day. Got to my BFs, go all snuggly to watch the bachelor when suddenly a glass of red wine appeared in my hand. How thoughtful of him!
So of course I drank it hehe. 0 -
My BFF is trying to coerce me into going for $1 burgers and $7 pitchers of premium beer...I said "NO"...but, the night is young0
-
I would count mine but after 3 I pretty much lose track. :laugh:
Robin, enjoy the wedding!
I hear ya on losing count...but, then, the empties are a vivid reminder of my lushiness
I WANT TO GO TO VEGAS TOO!!0 -
Alright, well I think I'm finally sobering up from the Bears defeat =D I did drink, a bit in excess this weekend, but overall it wasn't THAT bad.
This week, headed to Mount Hood to hit the slopes for three LONG days. Just a little flask of Rumplemintz to stay warm (+ it's vacation) ;D Good Luck Everyone!0 -
Week 2 with our new trainer. She passes out a lovely piece of paper that among other things says: no alcohol for 4 weeks! Wow...this will be hard. It's such a big part of my social life. I immediately started thinking about all my "events" coming up thinking "good heavens what will I do". I know one thing for sure...all my friends will think I am pregnant LOL.0

Just showed my husband and he starts laughing hysterically...."Your gonna fail!!!!" Thanks! Nice motivation to actually do it. Prove his a-- wrong!0

Thank goodness I found this group/thread! I am definitely and oenophile and a good gin & tonic got me thru Alabama's miserably hot summer of 2010. Since New Year's, I've managed to have one bottle of barbera, one of sauv blanc, one vodka martini, one margarita. I know the Margarita was the biggest no-no, but I LIKE tequila!!0
-
Oh, I feel like I've found my people! Here you were all the time. My weakness is vodka & diet tonic water. I am currently shooting to have a couple on Fri & Sat only, but once in a while a drink on Sunday is called for too!0
-
so glad to see people being honest about this topic!! i have just started new goals this week and have already broke the no drinking during the week rule.. (this is what really put on the weight from the beginning) last night worked out with a friend after we did we had to have a congrats beer for working out for the hour... that was pointless as one turned into 4!! it really is going to be a challenge to cut down drinking when its so easily accessible in the fridge calling my name.....0
-
Bingo.
Tonight I too fell of the no-hooch-during-the-week wagon and BLERP, not just the winecalories, but the extra crackers,biscotti,caramel,chocolatecalories, not to mention the too-buzzed-to-exercise feeling...

off to the wedding! lots of drinking in my near future!:drinker:0
-
Have a great time at the wedding Robin!!
I've been doing okay this week.
0 drinks Monday, Tuesday...okay, it's only been 2 days, but still! :laugh:0 -
I decided to try something different this week. Mon and Tues I have had one glass of wine each...its very rare that a bottle gets opened and NOT finished, so this almost seems HARDER to do than just staying away all together! I'm wondering if I treat myself with one single drink a night, if at the end of the week that will add up to less than if I tried to stay away for 3-4 days and then went crazy! :drinker: We shall see. Any thoughts?0
-
I could see that working...The past few weeks, when I've tried to go without during the week, hubby and I have a blowout with the neighbors that involves shots and many, many, many drinks with vodka.0
-
This is a good group and one I need to be in.. I try to limit myself during the week and up it a bit on weekends..0
-
Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday=0 drinks
This must be some kind of record for me! I am going out with friends after work today and I am kind of tempted to not drink because I want to work out after and I won't do that if I drink.0 -
I count mine before I have them then TRY not to go over.0
-
now thats a plan... i wont put beer in the fridge until i know i will be drinking them then it wont be so tempting. :laugh:0
-
This is my kind of group. Great to have the support from others who are facing the same struggles. Good luck! 0
-
well, tonight I had a glass of merlot and then did not workout. Tomorrow was supposed to be a rest day so maybe I will trade, rest today, work-out tomorrow, before my massage-since that is supposed to be my reward for sticking to my training plan!0
-
Wow! Great topic! And so true too!! My problem is that if I did want to have a drink now and then I eat horribly!! It is like a license to eat freely and not even care!0
-
I do like to drink. I drink beer about 2-3 times a week and yes I know it is killing my diet, but what can I say? I like beer. I am trying Michelob lite ultra this week to see if it helps with the calorie thing. I only hope that the pounds come off enough to make up for the lack of taste.0
-
Hey joining in fellow lushes! I use alcohol as a pain/stress reliever WAY too much...it was starting to be almost nightly with one drink or glass of red wine at night...Since starting dieting Jan 1 I've been much better...maybe once a week? Of course I'm sitting here right now with a vodka and Diet Hansens.
Oops. 0 -
this is something i struggle with as well. i really enjoy drinking, but drinking doesn't like my waistline. =( this seems like a great group, i'm definitely interested!0
-
Just found this topic - excellent idea. I have not read every post, just page one at the moment and thought - this is a topic I need to be part of. I love a glass of wine or three, live in the Hawke's Bay region of New Zealand - how could you not drink wine here!
So cheers to all - look forward to reading all your posts - now off to page 2!
Just found a new Smiley as well:drinker:0 -
soooo my plan didnt really work :laugh:
Wednesday= 4 glasses of wine. Had a nice night with the family though, and basically stayed within my calories for the day so oh well.
I always drink on jersey shore night and then its the weekend, so i guess id better get my butt on the elliptical or something. Although the 12 inches of snow I have to shovel AGAIN should count for something! ugh.
gaby have you tried the bud 55s? I feel like if you are going to sacrifice taste anyway I'd go as light as you can...they arent too bad, they do have less alcohol, but that could be a good thing LOL0 -
Wellllllll, I had one vodka-soda last night, but I stopped at one. I didn't workout either, but like Amy, I'll just trade my "rest" days. I did do 30 minutes of yoga yesterday, so I guess I did something.
Welcome new lushes!0 -
