    so this morning is our valentines day celebration starting with a nice bottle of Tattinger and bagels with king crab and cream cheese. tonight DH is making me his infamous stuffed flank steak with and artichoke on the side. I love to celebrate anything. He got me my favorite white roses yesterday too. He's a keeper.

    Started with a couple of glasses of wine while grading papers and ended up finishing the whole bottle. Instead of eating one slice of pizza, ate 2. So, I was up 2 pounds this morning. I'm not going to beat myself up about it but I have to be real about the fact that too much of anything is going to keep me from reaching my goal weight. "Moderation is the key" is my new mantra!

    Hope everyone had a fun weekend!:happy:

    Friday night I had one big glass of red wine with my steak dinner at The Keg. I saw the movie The Fighter, it was great. Last night we saw Devotchka at the Fillmore and I had three 24 oz miller lites and one 12 oz. I don't feel as bad as I thought I might today!

    Hi everyone, I know I've been really quiet lately, have been logging my food everyday but staying away from the forums. I haven't read back through the posts but I hope everyone is well. Gone a bit astray with the alcohol and fallen out of my gym routine due to a knee injury. Going to get back on track this week so no alcohol mon-fri for me this week.

    So I'm new to MFP and have been just looking through the message boards - I LOVE this thread!!

    Hubby and I are big beer snobs. We LOVE our microbrews. I also just adore some good tasty wine every now and again.

    This past weekend was just about a three day bender for me. Not really, but I was definitely at least heavily buzzed three nights in a row (Wed-Fri nights - I took days off this week for a much needed break!) Visited friends in Connecticut and they took us out for a few nights on the town. So much fun, and so much to drink. My goodness. My body is reminding me that I'm almost 30 and can't handle that much anymore by what is probably turning out to be a chest cold courtesy of my husband.

    SO in the spirit of healing, I'm vowing not to drink for the next two weeks!! Just feel like after this weekend I need to chill out a little bit.

    I'm so glad I found you all!!!

    Feel free to add me.

    This past year '10 - I drank pretty much every night of the week. Not to really get drunk, but just more out of habit. Drink on monday cause I don't feel that great after the weekend, Tuesday because, well - it's Tuesday, Wednesday 1/2 way there.....Thursday, almost Friday! Friday, Saturday and Sunday - drink, drink, drink.

    Yep, and I gained about 30#. Started at 180 (lean but still heavy for my frame) went to 209 Jan 1st......

    Ok, so all of Jan. and up till now - no drinks M-Thurs and usually don't drink on Sunday (superbowl was an exception) I have lost 9 lbs - feel less bloated, less tired, less grumpy.

    I think I broke the cycle - but could sure use some friends/support that feel the same way as I do!

    So...I had one drink today and then about an hour later, I was slicing some carrots with my new mandolin slicer and sliced off the side of my thumb. (About 5 cm long, about 2-3 deep...into the fatty layer.) It was lovely, and because of the alcohol in my system, it took for-frelling-ever to stop bleeding. Ugh.

    Ouch!!!! Funny that you didn't complain about pain tho...just bleeding

    Blondie, jello shots are jello and liquor mixed in little cups:
    Mandarin orange vodka with orange jello (topped with whip cream)
    Citron Absolute mixed with lime and lemon jello (topped with whip cream)
    Tequila mixed with lime jello

    Robin, beautiful pictures...the flowers are beautiful...looked like a lovely wedding

    cat77, good job on breaking the cycle...that's half the battle

    Yvonne, welcome back....if I remember right, your back in school, right?...hope the knee heals better

    We are starting a "9 Weeks 'Til Spring Break Challenge" at my school, sponsored by the YMCA. So, I'm going to have a glass of red wine while making dinner in the evenings and not go overboard as I really want to lose 10 pounds by summer (its true that the last 10 is always the hardest!). The Y has also asked me to consider going to Zumba training next month so we can have a class at my school for the teachers. Its a cool challenge for me so I need to cut down on indulging in the evenings.

    Well I had 3 bottles of sparkling over 3 days and a couple of vodkas. I had pizza last night as I felt so down and grumpy. I am challenging myself to no drinking until Sat night and keeping my cals on the down low till then. After 5 weeks and only losing 2.5 kgs I keep hitting a slump once a week (in the last 2 weeks) and feeling like giving up. What's the point etc etc if I work my *kitten* off and see no real loss. I got back on the bandwagon today, under my cals and 1/2 hr on the treadmill. Around we go again lol.

    Nice to meet you all and thanks for those who have added me :)

    ouch, Amy, that gave me the heeby-jeebies to think about slicing into the meat of your thumb on a mandolin. Although, I want a mandolin for making sweet potato chips!
    I did not drink yesterday. tonight there will be wine. Not sure about the rest of the week!

    4crazykids....the Y challenge sounds like a good goal...ummm, zumba training will kick your *kitten* into shape

    Faithikins...if you want, I will go alcohol free with you on this Friday...we can be miserable together and celebrate with a good weight loss

    Soccerdot, that's what I was thinkin'...today would be mo' fo' day, sounded deep...hope it gets better soon

    Asjerven, enjoy your wine tonight

    Yesterday I was drink free; so, that's bought my total to 17 for the week...still seems like a lot even though I felt like I was being good.

    Question is, can I be good for V-day? Hate to start the week at a deficit...

    Monday, ????

    Husband informed me there will be wine with dinner tonight! Ok, I can do this and not totally over obsess right? It *is* a special occasion, and since the first of the year I've only drank on Friday and Sat, the occasional Sunday and one Tuesday night. I'll cut back on my afternoon snack to compensate! Yay, that means I'll get drunk faster too! Woo hoo! Happy valentines day!

    So happy I just found this message board! Just joined mfp last week and one thing I will not give up is my alcohol!! I enjoy my red wine/beer and incorporate them into my calories. I am going to try and cut down though!!!
