Oh so that was a complete let down..... Apparently his day didn't go quite to plan so he spent all his time fixing someone's computer instead of shopping for the ingredients to cook dinner. Yep that reminds me why he's my ex :ohwell:

Shame on him, bad karma for sure to him...and for you, GOOD will come, good reminder though

Well, yvonne, sometimes we need to be reminded why exes are exes, so it sounds like you got that. My dad says, "Good judgement comes from
experience. Experience comes from bad judgement."
For low cal drinks I have two theories. One, drink something you don't like that well, if you want it to last. For me, I like red wine but I don't suck it down, so I order that.
Vodka with club soda I order with lemon and lime. Lite beer is ok, but I can drink it so fast!
I heard champagne is low cal-is that true?
Love your Dads saying!
Champagne is lower than wine in cals, but ooooh soooooooo drinkable! Here in the UK now, we can buy really good champagne ie taittinger, bollinger etc for a fraction of what it used to be, and is my DH and I's fave drink, we usually buy in by the case...BUT..right now its BANNED! It is just so easy to down a bottle and you cant re cork champagne... I miss it though:sad:
Have a fabulous vacation!!0 -
Doing good tonight but oh boy tomorrow night is going to be really hard. I knock off work early and have Sunday off. I will just chant to my self all night one more day, one more day lol. Remind me never to do this challenge again :grumble: I will be really proud of myself though and it will taste so damn good on Monday!0

YAAAY! We'll al be green with envy come Monday
Ok, so I picked up my B1 tablets yesterday, does that mean that I am offically "hardcore" now:happy:
DH just offered me a trip to the Indian restaurant tonight (incidentally this restaurant is about 50 miles away!)... can see the "TO GO WINE GLASS" making another journey his evening. I am torn apart though... I have been doing so well, and a trip to the Indian might blow my weeks work...hmmmmm....if I can get a HUGE workout in today, can justify it, we shall see.
Have a great Friday everyone :drinker:0 -
alot of red wine followed by two tequila anejo shots. Geez, I really had a great workout on the dreadmill and then I was so amped that I needed a few drinks. that seems a little pointless.0

Hubs and I are thinking of doing the same thing today. Except no booze for me. I actually am good when gambling because I think when I drink and gamble, I'm too loose with the $$$...loosens my inhibitions0 -
Last night I had tequila too! I had one of those squeezy limes, so I mixed that with sugar water, added tequila and orange juice and called it a marg. I thought it tasted pretty good. Then I had an agave wheat beer, and then some more of that red wine that isn't very good but I opened it so I have to drink it. you know, there is alcohol abuse and then there is alcohol neglect and I can't abide either!
Tonight we go to the airport and then to Punta Cana DR. I am so excited.0 -

Amy, I completely understand the dilemna...have superfun on the trip0 -
Amy, have fun!!!
I made risotto last night and only had a tiny sip of the wine--I was cooking with a riesling that I wasn't familiar with so I wanted to see how it tasted--but I stopped after a sip. So, progress!
I'm not a huge gambler...I like the penny slots and I do enjoy some Blackjack. Hubs is a Texas Hold 'Em guy (he won a small tourney the first time we went to Vegas) so I mostly people watch and drink. :drinker:
We're staying 2 nights instead of the original 1, so I'm excited!!! (Not like an amazing trip the Punta Canta, but I'll take it!)0 -
I have not been to Blackhawk in many years, good luck and have fun!Amy, have fun!!!

I had to share this, it made me laugh, my credit card statement categorizes my purchases "recreation" "auto related" "travel" "groceries" etc. and my liquor store purchases are called "eating out".
but what is more suitable? Recreation? Groceries?0 -
:laugh: Recreation I say. You all sound like you're having fabulous weekends whilst I trudge myself off to work :sad:
Having a rest day off exercise today - everything hurts ugh. TOM as well and just want to come home after work and get on it. I'm trying to focus on our shooting tomorrow night and how fun that will be, instead of how much I'd rather stay at home, crank tunes and get drunk.0 -
Gosh, this is a great group!
Had some beer with lunch (I AM at the beach, after all). Walked this morning, and am going for another walk now before heading to our favorite beach bar. I appreciate the thoughts on low-cal drinks, especially the question whether you want the buzz or not. Wow, what a question. Yes, a little buzz without the calories.
Actually, I felt great last night after just 2 drinks and really good this morning.
Alcohol = recreation, I think.0 -
Anejo is the really aged Tequila, expensive but smoooooooooooth.alot of red wine followed by two tequila anejo shots. Geez, I really had a great workout on the dreadmill and then I was so amped that I needed a few drinks. that seems a little pointless.

Hi everyone, happy weekend :drinker:
I had a great workout with my PT yesterday, he was testing me to failure in various exercises like plank, side plank, bridge and a 45 degree sit up position. He commented on how much my core strength has improved particularly in bridge where he had to tell me to quit before I gave up as I'd been going so long :happy: I have to admit that it felt like every muscle in my body was shaking after that but I managed a record of 3 unassisted chin ups too, one of my goals this year was to manage 5 so I'm getting there. Seems like it paid off to take a bit of a rest from training, for the last 2 weeks I haven't been to the gym except for circuit training class and when I went to that on Wednesday I noticed a big improvement in my stamina too, I managed the full 45 second interval of full press ups which is a first for me.
..and I managed Mon-Thurs with no drinks, made up for it tonight with 3 glasses of wine though and have a table booked at Chinese restaurant for Sat night :drinker: :bigsmile:0 -
Tomorrow I should weigh in at weight watchers but I keep putting it off...........................I'm lifetime and you have to weigh in the first meeting you attend each month, sooooooo, I haven't attended any meetings this month and am presently enjoying a glass of champagne! I really think I can finish the bottle by myself.......................geesh......................I am on the right topic?????!!!0

Awesome Yvonne!
Ummm nisijam5 I'm sorry but :drinker: I CAAAVVVEDDDD :blushing:
Ahhh sweet sweet sparkling wine I love you. 0 -
:noway: 4 beers (Bud 55) and 3 shots of vanilla vodka last night. Not too bad considering that, for a long time, had been an everynight occurance. Since the first of the year I have only drank on Friday and Saturday with the occasional Sunday (superbowl) one random Tuesday (few glasses of wine) and Valentines day.
This is awesome for me! I am not seeing the scale move as rapidly as I would have hoped, my clothes aren't fitting *that* much better, BUT - I am sleeping better, I have more energy throughout the day, I don't feel a "need" for a drink every night. I do feel like I broke the habit - and I am totally happy about it.......I certainly don't need to drink alcohol every single night....
How'd everyone's weekend start out so far??? Any good stories? I had my drinks at home with my husband watching Goldmine - love that show, but we had paused it - rewound it a few times, so we were half way through when it was supposed to be over - and I hit the channel button instead of the volume button - and changed the channel! :noway: I was so sad!!!! I didn't get to see the end of it, but I saw it came on later so I recorded it and I'll watch it a little later.0 -
last night was diet sunkist lemon and vodka. It was nice but I got the munchies.
AAAAArrrrgggggh I am back up to 158. So I have planned out all my meals for Monday thru Friday like I used to do. I am going to workout every night and I am going to lose the 14 pounds I have gained back since mid August. If I only eat what I have on the plan I will do great. I know I can do this. I have no alcohol on the plan until Friday night. but today I will drink since we are going to play pool and who knows what tomorrow will bring.
Awesome job Yvonne.!0 -
Hello all! Hope you are all having a fabulous weekend. Had one beer while doing the dishes last night. LOL And I only had one jello shooter while making them - it wasn't quite full so I had to drink it. :bigsmile:
Amy ~ Have a great trip!!0 -

I didn't cave and I sooooo wanted to...I actually thought of you during my suffrage
Yvonne, awesome on the therapist stopping you at a plank...my fantasy come true
Cat77, I watched gold rush as well...it's our Friday night ritual, my son who's 9 even loves it....I made apps and refrained from the alcohol....did I mention how miserable I was...also, I feel a lot less bloated and more motivated to get stuff done around the house....down 3 lbs with last weigh-in
Amerbermabee, way to take one for the team...the sacrifice
Robin, you will be able to do it...get back in your rhythm0 -
Hello Fellow Lushes. Hope you have a great weekend. I am going out for toddies tonight for sure. I have been good all week and the most I have had to drink was one beer. I deserve to Lushout tonight and I have the cals to give me a head start lol. Enjoy the weekend all!!:drinker:0

Hello lushes, sounds like some good drinks going down here. :drinker: The scale wavers between 7-8 pounds lost everyday and is not budging. I will need to get serious once we return from our cruise next week and the kitchen renodel going on at the same time. I can safely say that for the next 3 weeks all bets are off for eating and drinking. Will catch up with you all mid March and hopefully will not have gained back those 7-8 pounds!
Drink on!0 -
It's 3:00 AM Sunday morning, I just got back from the casino....no drinks for Saturday...one more day makes almost a week...this is hard!!!0
