    Monday, 3 margaritas, 2 Sam Adams
    Tuesday, 0 drinks
    Wednesday, 0 drinks

    Total: 5
    Goal < 12

    Yvonne, hope you didn't spill that wine with the jiggly arms....LOL
    Berry and Mom, welcome to the thread
    Faith, nice job on the weight loss...It's a great feeling to watch that scale move in the right direction
    Blondie, oh man, the morning after hurt

    I decided that I am going to maintain sobriety until next Wednesday when we celebrate my son's big 2-0 birthday...that will be 8 days in a row...it shouldn't be too bad since I work the weekend

    an ah, ha moment...I'm thinking I like the feeling of losing weight better than drinking at this time

    sorry bout the hangover Blondie but the hot pepper thing sounds good and remeber hot spicy foods (and drinks) burn more calories.

    Yvonne I have had those arms before, thats what staws are for:wink:
    Faith glad someone is losing weight well. I am slowly inching down.
    Kim what a great goal. I know you can do 8 days.

    I caved last night and had a few vodkas. I was getting real late ngith munchy and I decided if I had a drink or two I wouldn't keep munching. I think I did better with vodka calories than I would have with the bag of chips that was calling my name.

    I've never really drank much or all the time but there is seriously something satisfying about a beer after a long day or week.
    This being said...I just realized I can't have my weekly booze fix because I picked up 16 hours of over time...****.

    I can understand the rationalization:ohwell: ....the other benefit is, you don't have a hangover in the morning:happy:

    My biggest pet peeve is actually being able to taste how cheap it is. :angry:

    I ended up having a glass of wine last night...it was that or ice cream.

    Sunday=0
    Monday=1 vodka soda
    Tuesday=1 riesling
    Wednesday=1 riesling

    Back from DR where I had a lushy fab time, it was super warm and the beach and ocean are beautiful. I had mimosas or bloody marys, followed by beer, rum punch, coco locos and all manner of crazy drinks. The margs were good too.
    My goals now, I think, drink less. Maybe three days per week.
    Restaurant week is coming up and I have reservations at several places so the eating and the drinking for the next two weeks might be a challenge, I need to keep up with my exercise schedule if I want to eliminate my vacation pounds...

    Hi! I love reading this post because it helps me acknowledge that I love to drink and don't want to stop cause I'm trying to lose weight. Reading that others are just like me helps me feel less guilty! There's so much I do to maintain a healthy life style and I'm working hard to lose my weight. I just don't want to deny every pleasure. I enjoy wine and occasional mixed drinks. It's important to me to know that I can manage this pleasure with all the other stuff I do to reach my goal.

    Well, I had one sprayed on before I left, it looked pretty good. But I am vigilant with the sunscreen so I don't think I got much color. It sure looks nice but now all I see is wrinkles and cancer:tongue: and, getting a sunburn on vacation is the worst, you're uncomfortable, you stay out of the sun and it hurts.

    Yup, quite right Amy.. I used to lounge in the sun for hours on end. Now, I get a spray tan before I go, and then use a german product called "P20" which is incredible....never ever ever burn, and its a "once a day". I tend to wear hats now too, and go in the shade...well done you!!
