Just have to get through tomorrow and then Friday I'll indulge in some wine =]
This will make two weeks going Monday to Thursday with no drinks. Still would like to cut out the drinks on Sundays, but Friday, Saturday and Sunday is much better than Mon-Sunday.0 -

I just finished my weekend Tuesday, Wednesday...working on Friday, Saturday and Sunday:grumble:
Looking for our team to kick some *kitten* on Monday...tomorrow is 90 minute workout (elliptical and zumba) to make up for the brew-ha and jump start my weight loss
It would be a lot easier to learn to just not drink....but, not nearly as much fun and I couldn't post on the coolest thread around
Wednesday, 8 beers (super horrible)
Thursday, 6 beers
Total: 14
Goal: <12
Those suckers go down so easy...0 -
Kim I'm taking your advice... I'll keep it up--but OMG I'm sore today! Geesh, I might only do this 2-3x a week to earn my 12 pack for the weekend :laugh: But I was really surprised on the calorie burn! Makes it ALMOST worth it :drinker:0

I try to do it 3 times a week and my legs are really getting toned and my cardio stamina is way better...oh, did I mention the waist whittling without one single f'ing crunch...so, go shake wha cha mama gave ya0 -
I just want to know why on a week I eat like crap and I don't exersize the scale just sits there. Yet when I do it all right the scale creeps up. I am beginning to think my body really likes being chunky and refuses to be anything else.
I drank the rest of my wine last night then had two large vodka and shnapps things. oy!0 -
@ Kim-- LOL!!! Ur going to be MY inspiration!!
@ Robin-- I agree!! Sometimes its like wth!!??! I usually drink to that too!!0 -
Robin, you've lost a lot of weight before...what were you doing different back then?
Either you have to figure it out, take a break from it or give up on it...take your pick and relax with the decision.0 -
Monday 0
Tuesday 6oz of wine
Wednesday 0
Thursday 0 or so planned!
Robin-I looked at your food diary, are you eating atleast 1200 calories? Sometimes that can make a difference?? :ohwell:0 -
Monday - 4
Tuesday - 0
Wednesday - 0 planned; 2 beers and 4ish glasss of wine....crap
Thursday - no way I am moving all day tomorrow
Weekend....who knows; probably will need to celebrate the new house
Goal >15
Currently = 10
I'm screwed.
But I lost 1.5 pounds this week. Partially may be due to dehydration, but I still feel like I lost. Funny thing is, I only worked out once or twice, ate out a lot, and therefore went over my caloires all days but 2, one of which was a 600ish calorie deficit. Maybe this whole thing about zig zagging isn't BS after all. We'll see what this week holds.
I'm off work tomorrow to move so today is like my Friday! Everyone have a good weekend. I may not check back for a couple days after I leave at 3.0 -
I agree with Kim, Robin. Take a break. Reflect on what you've done in the past, recommit and most importantly, relax!
Elizabeth, make sure you're drinking a ton of water post-Zumba. It will help flush the lactic acid, which is responsible for the soreness. Take some ibuprofen too...it will help. Believe it or not, doing some light exercise on the days your sore will help too. Crazy, but true!
My wine was sooooooooooooooooo good last night. :drinker:0 -
Robin - sorry you are feeling stuck! My progress has been very slow, because I have bad weeks. I don't know exactly why some weeks you can eat crappy and still lose (or remain the same) and the weeks you work hard it doesn't seem to do anything. The weeks I have seen most success, I indulge in a few meals & some drinks, but the rest I do really well filling up on really healthy things and exercise as much as I can squeeze in (for me that is 5 good workouts, plus a couple good walks with my dog). This week I am PMSing and eating total junk, and it's been pissing me off when I have to fill out my diary and see how the little crap adds up so quickly... and most of it was stuff I didn't even really want, it was just there and so I ate it.
I have only lost 7 pounds (over 3 months :-/ - definitely not setting any records!) of the 30 I want to lose, so I don't have a lot of advice on what necessarily works the best - but I can definitely offer support, because I struggle, too!
I know what doesn't work for me, is keeping easily consumable booze in the house! I used to always have a mini-bar stocked of my favorites and liked having stuff available if friends stopped by unexpectedly, but found if I came home from having a drink or two w/ friends, I would sit down for a "nightcap" and have the rest of an open bottle of wine by myself. If there is beer in the fridge, I will drink it. If there is booze I will make a mixer and I usually make them way to strong (I like the taste!), find myself buzzed and then snacking and/or drinking more than what I need. It's just too easy and once you have a couple, it goes downhill quickly. I'm obviously not judging anyone who drinks, because I love it!!! But if you want to drink less to help with weight loss (and keep from feeling hungover), then out of sight, out of mind works the best...
Mon - 2.5 glasses of wine with friends
Tues - 0
Wed - 0
Thurs - 0
Upcoming...

Have a fun weekend, everyone!0 -
Heh well now, 4 pbr tall boys last night. Hubby had 2. We were commiserating/celebrating figuring out how the heck to handle taxes and surviving the month. And I sold a lot more hoops then I expected. So I'm sore this morning. Let's hear it for water!!
And you guys SO have me interested in Zumba now. I just started the 30 Day Shred thing (every other day though otherwise my knee would be going insane) but I think it would be beneficial with the other dancing I do.0 -
Wednesday=0 drinks
I think I will remain alcohol free tonight as well.0 -
My wine was sooooooooooooooooo good last night. :drinker:
yes, yes it was !
m : 2
t : 3.5
w : 3
total : 8.5 / 14
hmmm, looks like the weekly "goal" i set is a bit lofty. still, considering that a whole bottle over the course of the evening was pretty commmon, i say "great job, me!" and eventually i *will* get there.0
