Mwaaaahhhhh!

Men in KILTS!!!!!


OK so normally i'd never go out on St. Paddy's day, too many amateurs, too many rowdy adolescents... but....

MEN IN KILTS!!!!!


My favorite brew pub :drinker: was a stop on one of our local piper clubs annual fundraising tour..... who was I to say no?:noway:

2 pints and a bowl of Irish stew later, I've gone over cals and about to go further, haven't had this much to drink on a weeknight in forever and . . . it feels G O O D!!!!

Trying not to get pint # 3 out of the fridge but save it for tomorrow night.. warmest wishes to all you lovely ladies and I wish for you

Friday - well I need to put half a cup of wine in my veal tonight. I am going to buy one of those little tiny bottles of wine and I will probably drink the rest. but this is a huge step for me since I usually drink the whole regular size bottle when I make this. . I will try to get DH to drink some of the wine so maybe I will only end up with a very small glass.

I am going to try to avoid it this weekend too. I am on a roll and I don't want to lose my momentum. I have lost about 3 pounds so far but it was all water weight and stuff from the past few weeks. I am still not down to my ticker weight but I think I will get there by next week if I keep up what I am doing.

MY mantra - bikini, bikini, St Thomas, bikini bikini!:glasses:

You are doing awesome!! :flowerforyou:

My goal for tonight and the weekend is 0, because I'M LEAVING FOR VEGAS ON MONDAY! (Sorry, I'm a bit excited!) I don't want to kill my liver before I get there. :drinker:

Awesome, have a great time. I'm heading there in May and that is my motivation for weight loss

I am way behind in reading posts....

We had a really good time yesterday. If I had to guess, 1 bottle of wine, 3 lemon drop shots and 1 beer = 9 drinks...so, I am feeling way, way squeamish this morning. Ugh, I promised to go to the roller rink with the kids today. I might bag on that and drop them off. Really squeamish!

Sunday thru Tuesday, 0 drinks
Wednesday, 3 margs
Thursday, 9 drinks
Friday, Flannigan's Wake, some Irish humor...should be fun...will try to keep the drinks at a minimum
Sat & Sun, 0 drinks

Amy, have fun in Vegas
Robin, way to stay focused

Bump

Well, school teachers love, love, love parents that love us!

Amy, we're staying at the Hilton Grand...it's on the same side of the strip as MGM, but on the other end. We got a good deal on 2 nights but we have to listen to a 1.5 hour "buy a timeshare" deal...but we don't have the money, so it won't be hard to say no. :laugh:
My neighbor (single mom...first time away from her son for other than an overnight in 7 years) is going, but she's leaving Sunday and staying at the Palms. I think we'll hit a club or 2 Monday night, and then just people watch, gamble, eat, and drink the rest of the time. I'd like to see "O" but they're blacked out on Monday and Tuesday--we get back on Wednesday. It *was* supposed to be nice while we were there, but now they're calling for 58, 63, and 69...not pool weather, for sure!

Um, yeah, that's all I got!

Sooooooooo much wine last night but I always plan my drinks so I was actually under my calorie goal =] Probably have some wine tonight for date night. UFC tomorrow with friends usually means lots of beer.

Still losing weight though!

How are you under calories? Do you work out a ton??!!!

I work out twice a day 6 days a week and sometimes throw in a work out on the 7th day as well. I usually earn around 600 extra calories each day from the exercise. I don't try to stay under my goal, I try to reach it but sometimes, like last night, I was 15 under.

Same here! How do I balance calories/Beer/UFC...?! Ugggh

Before joining this site, I would count the first couple of beers and some what track calories and then just not care. Now because I know I need to put it all in here and not go over, it's a lot easier. I usually make sure I leave about 1000 calories when I know I'm either going out to dinner or having people over for UFC or what have you. Seems to be a good amount for me to have a good meal and plenty of drinks haha. Then once I'm at my goal calories for the day, I stop.

I do to, but my cardio is usually around 300 plus weights and the other workouts are yoga and they don't burn too much...hmmmm I gotta figure something out because its friday and gorgeous out and I want several beers.....only have 1 1/2 accounted for. They are high ABV beers, so the more alcohol the more calories...hopefully I won't need to many
Cheers everyone, enjoy your weekend!!

I would really like to see Ka...we saw Love 2 summer ago and loved it!!!

On weight days my cardio is usually around 330 for 30 minutes. Weights is around 287 for 40-45 minutes because it's not just weights, it's also push ups and pull ups because I'm on a round of P90X Plus. I usually save around 1000 cals for dinner and drinks. Usually works for a good meal and a couple bottles of wine or many beers haha.

Brilliant!! P90X is a beast of a workout!!!

It certainly is and it never gets old. After this round I'm tackling a round of Insanity. I already miss Tony and my weights haha, it'll be a nice change though. I'm really looking forward to then doing a hybrid though. Pretty sure that's going to be earning me some serious booze calories haha.

Hi all

My name is Janie and I love a glass of wine or bottle of beer in the evening - can I join you???

I am actually sort of a "lush wanna be" because I usually can't fit in enough time to actually get more than just relaxed, but I definitely save calories for this at the end of the day.

Thanks, Jane

:drinker: :drinker:

I would really like to see Ka...we saw Love 2 summer ago and loved it!!!

Is Ka dark while you are there too? I went with a girl who is friends with an acrobat in Ka and we got to go behind the scenes so that was really neat.
