    Hahaha...I think I just found my friends... I know a huge part of my weight gain has been due to drinking. But i really don't like to think about not having my vino either! LOL

    Ok, I have to set a goal for the week. I know, Wednesday will be a bottle of wine. Then, I will contend with the weekend. I am in a contest that weighs in every Monday. When I get knocked out, I lose my chance at $100.00. So, I at least have to maintain.

    Problems, problems, problems

    Here is the plan for the week:

    Monday, 0 drinks
    Tuesday, 0 drinks
    Wednesday, bottle of wine (that's like, 5, right?)
    Thursday, 0 drinks
    Friday, skinny margaritas 600 cals for the whole bottle
    Saturday, 0 drinks
    Sunday, guzzle water like a mo fo

    Goal <12...wiggle room for an extra one:bigsmile:

    Yes, home for me too!! I live in a resort town, my boyfriend is a bartender, and I looooove wine! I'd rather not eat dinner if I can't have a glass of wine or two with my dinner. Then there are the big party nights too. I know that makes a huge difference in my health and fitness level, and I struggle with it every day.

    Goal is needed! :)

    Yesterday,
    Kaluha with coffee in the morning.
    Champagne around 10 AM
    Bottle of Kendall Jacskson for lunch (we had steak and lobster)
    a few cherry rums in the afternoon

    Burnt the SHlT out of my hand fixing the pulled pork, was crying a lot (it really hurt) DH gave me a Vicodin to help ease some pain.

    I still feel a little funny this morning.

    Faith, hope you enjoyed your evening...bottoms up

    OK, My official weight loss for this month is 4.4 lbs...now, I just have to keep this up for a year:frown: I think that might constitute a lifestyle change.

    Do eeet Faith! I am so glad I had a couple weekends ago...I had a craving, I ate it, loved it, and moved on. I probably won't want another one for months.

    I am struggling today. I'm physically and mentally exhausted...I did some yoga during my planning period, but had to quit because I was all shaky from hunger. (My "lunch" was about an hour later than normal due to testing.) Then, after school, I've tried to do two different Turbo Fire workouts and quit both. I. Just. Couldn't. Do. It.

    ^That^ being said, I'm definitely abstaining tonight, going to be early, and try to remember that tomorrow is a new day. (How's that for cliched?)

    I don't plan on drinking tonight - It's Monday and I don't really have a reason - plus I drank last night and I try not to drink on Sundays but if it happens, so be it.

    Hope everyone is doing good with their goals.

    I do have to say, after drinking every single night for the past at least year - it has been easier to quit than I thought it'd be....I think it was just a bad habbit that I had to break. Saying that, I do have to say that I look forward to the weekend much more now!!!!

    going to Parisi for dinner tonight and I think I will have a glass of red wine. I tend to be able to stick to a glass of red wine whereas I cannot stick to a single beer or marg or vodka drink.

    Did you end up getting a Big Mac?

    I was a bit hungover yesterday. Not to bad considering I drank like 11 beers the day before (LOL I think it was that many could have been more). I was so bad. Mighty McMuffin for breakfast on the way home from friends house. Then for lunch we went back out and I got a Strawberry Thick Shake from Maccas & then went to Hungry Jacks for a Whopper & Onion Rings. My boyfriend made a stop at Red Rooster for his hang over meal. So bad we actually stopped at 3 fast food places on one food run! They were all right next door to each other so we did not have to go far.

    Good news after all that drinking & the food only up 1.5 pounds this morning. That is just amazing to me. Should have it off soon I am being so good today :)

    I drank 4 or 5 days a week for the last 35 years, exclussively beer but with a tremendous tolerance this is where all of my weight problems stem from. When i started my weightloss journey in June I told my buddies I was taking the first 60 days with no beer. i did it and lost almost 50 pounds. I now reserve 1 afternoon a week for hanging out with buddies and drinking beer. I build it into my exercise program so that I do not go over my calorie limit. This seems to be working for me. I started June 12th at 486 and weighed 353 on Sat.

    i really enjoy having a few glasses of wine a week, but now because of calories I am switching to select 55. Not the same, but it works while being around my family anyways.

    Amy, I'm the same way with wine...I should probably stock some in the house. I'm so jealous that you're doing the 5280 Week. I used to do it before the kids...now it's my parents going every other night. :laugh:

    I am weak. I'm drinking a vodka soda right now. :embarassed: Oh well.
