    :laugh: :laugh: How drunk was I? Wow went 500 over cals and had no dinner. Decided sleeping on the carpet outside the toilet was a good idea until the cold got to me and I went to bed. (getting into winter here in Australia) I can type amazing whilst drunk. :blushing:

    I don't feel too bad this morning actually. So my 10 shots turned into like 20 I think. WHOOPS. I feel ok though despite I may need a hurl or two, so I will exercise today! :drinker: :drinker:

    eek Friday night and no drinks for me.

    What is really getting to me is that my ex hubby decided to go alcohol free until his birthday in June so I said I'd join him for May. Well he's been bellyaching all week about wanting a beer, then today he comes round and tells me that he's lost 7lb this week and because that means his weight is back on track he thinks he will start drinking again! So that annoys me on 2 levels, 1. not drinking makes no difference to me and I don't lose weight, 2. I'm was doing this to be supportive of him and now he wants to change his mind. Grrrr :grumble:

    Needless to say I told him he can't back out, whether or not he's gone home and got some beer though I don't know, but I hope he sticks to it, and I will do my best to resist the urge to give in and have a beer if he is round my house.

    A Friday of orange vodka and diet ginger ales, 12 shots, and for some reason, I'm up at 5:45, thisrsty as hell, but with no hangover.
    I think someone stole a few of my drinks or something, this just isn't right! :laugh:

    These new diet mt. dew flavors are amazing, they're just crying out to be mixed with something. maybie vanilla vodka? they're kindof on the sweet side..hmm. Have any ideas?

    I'm so glad I found this topic! I do love my wine and vodka, which is probably why my weight loss has slowed down so much. I'm really trying to limit my drinks to weekends now so, hopefully, I can see the scale move again.

    So glad to find this. I want to have my Sam Adams and still loose weight. How do I accomplish that? More water during the day? More exercise? Less food? Help!

    As long as you can stay within your calories, you can still enjoy the beer. If you know you're going to indulge, work extra hard at your normal workout, or get an extra workout in. If I know I'm going to blow it out...I watch what I eat during the day. It's totally possible!! I also try and limit the nights a week I drink.

    Speaking of...

    Sunday=lots
    Monday=0
    Tuesday=0
    Wednesday=0
    Thursday=5
    Friday=3

    Ekimpton, Sam Adams is my choice of beer as well...however, I've switched to wine, vodka or skinny margs mostly d/t cals and carbs

    Butterfly, don't drink mountain dew, so I have no idea

    Went over my calories slightly last night at dinner, not booze (SHOCKER) delicious bread and dipping oil, mmmm!!! So I called yesterday my cheat day BUT we will see how today goes...got 1000calories set aside for some delicious craft beers. We are going out this afternoon to celebrate my husbands new job and then probably pick some up on the way home. What I love about craft brews is they are typically higher in alcohol, so 5 and I should be feeling REAL good!!!!! :bigsmile:
    I worked out hard this morning, but I was feeling really weak....didn't burn as many calories as I would have liked, but I'll take the 903 I did burn and put them to good use :drinker:
    Hope everyone enjoys their saturday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    So, my husband has this one friend that everytime he comes over we all get totally trashed! I got home from work to find him and my husband sitting in front of a half gallon of whiskey. I think I only had 4 or 5 (plus my shift drink after work) but man I feel like crap this morning! On the plus side there is a tent set up in my living room... How cool is that :drinker:

    feel like crap today. I forgot to tell you that my DH got sick at work yesterday too just to add to the crappiness of the day. Now I think I have whatever he had. I only ended up with one bottle of wine last night too. oh well. have a great day.

    thanks for the MD wishes, my daughter actually sent a MD gift early - what a shock. Normally it is weeks late. Plus she sent pics today of HER MD weekend with grandboy. Hmmmm. she must want something. :bigsmile:

    DH has picked a brunch buffet for his mother and I for tomorrow. ut-oh. Misoma's included, how many calories are they? Double shot vodka $4. Ouch. I can probably resist both at 11:30 am but have you ever heard of Frosted Flake French Toast? That has got to be good. I am going to try to stick to an Atkins mind set, protein and vegtables. Wish me luck

    Frosted Flake French Toast - who comes up with this stuff???

    So far, I've had 2 sf red bull/pineapple vodkas, but that's it. We've been cleaning the garage, working in the yard, etc. all frelling day, so I feel okay about the calories. :drinker:

    Hello fellow Lushes,
    So I had this plan of cutting down. Nope, couldn't do it. So I may to cut out the alcohol all together, for awhile. I just got my labs done and did NOT like my numbers on a few of the tests. I wonder if I've totally jacked up my liver....Plus, my cholesterol is getting high. I've been under a huge amount of stress in my life, for the past 3 years and I've pretty much handled it really lousy. Liking drinking every day. Dumb *kitten*. So I will be on this thread every day, to keep myself in check. Maybe hanging out here with all of you, might help. Any words of encouragement??

    You can do ittttttttttttttttttttttttttt, Marci!!!!

    Seriously, if you want to stop drinking...I'll support you in any way possible. :heart:

    I've had 1 red bull and vodka (clementine and pineapple mixed) and a Blue Moon. Happy Mother's day to me!!!

    Congrats, Yvonne!!!! :flowerforyou:

    Congrats Yvonne!

    Definitely take one day at a time Marci and every day you don't drink is an awesome achievement. Try to find other things you enjoy to reward yourself, apart from food. Which we all do hence why we are here. :tongue: I find posting here does help, set some goals and check back regularly to update how you are going. We will all cheer you on and be there when you need some encouragement. :flowerforyou:

    6 ounces of vodka on Friday. I'll be getting drunk next weekend for a girls' horror movie night in. But depending on how drunk we get, we might end up going out. LOL

    Thanks for the support, Faith. I have a feeling I'll be here a LOT. At least I know that there's other people struggling with this too. It helps somehow.

    I cannot believe it, a week without drinking for me! Boring weekend, but oh well! I have also been avoiding sugar and flour, which might be harder! One more week to go...

    Windows open, it's raining outside, bud light lime in hand, pups all cuddled next to me and have all the candles lit .... so happy right now. Could only be better if the boyfriend wasn't stuck at work, then again, I'm a girl who loves her alone time, I mostly attribute that to being an only child growing up.

    Today is not only mother's day but the boyfriends mom's Birthday, she and his dad are away for his dads work right now though. The 11'th is his dads birthday so when his dad and mom get back we'll do something to celebrate :smile:

    Hope all You moms had a wonderful day, I spent most of the day with my fur kids :smile: and it was wonderful. Celebrated mom's day with mom and gram on Friday, went out to eat last night, came home and had another drink and then went to bed. Cleaned today while the boyfriend did work and now just relaxing :smile:

    Have a good night all
