Having my second drink of the night. Happy May!

Congrats Kate!
I'm back from the mini vacay and I feel bloated and tired. I need a vacay from the vacay! We had a wonderful time but I'm ready to get in some exercise and eat healthy and maybe even rack up a few 0's !!

Happy May everyone! Congrats on the news, Kate! And Syd, you'll be back to feeling not bloated and tired in no time! I think that vacays from vacays should be mandatory! You need to have fun while on vacation, but then you should have a day or two in order to get back into the swing of things. If only!

Weekend was pretty lushy, as usual. Last night was a 0!

Plan to have a few 0's this week, but I probably will change that mind set come Wednesday or Thursday. With this weekend being Mother's Day, I always get pretty down since it just reminds me of my Mom and how much I miss her daily (she passed away when I was 14). So, it is what it is. I will end up drinking too much, but that's okay by me!

Hey May.........
Sun - 4 beers
Team win

So I did pretty good for Derby weekend. I worked much later than expected, till about 4:30. I had a martini when I got home, then about 3 glasses of rose' and 2 beers at the neighbor's and home. We went to bed before midnight so I was not hungover for Derby!

Derby I actually did pretty well till the end of the night. I started with mimosas at about 11:30, which I drank the whole pitcher (bottle) minus one. Then I drank Ashley Palmers all day, which has sweet tea vodka so only 60 proof. I had a couple spiked lemonades my friend brought from her Derby party (then took back when her party resumed after the races; she lives close to the track). I basically kept a nice buzz all day and then decided around 9:00 that I'd get into the wine. I drank about a bottle over the next couple hours and everything beyond then is hazy. I didn't ever feel bad, just tired and then incredibly bloated. The ick took me until today to get rid of.

We still did a lot of walking Sunday, had a beer at lunch, glass of wine at home, then a 16 ouncer at sister in law birthdays.

I had one cider last night.

We're having SIL and BIL over for dinner tonight, so there will be some drinks. Not sure what.... We only drank 2 of the 4 fifths of sweet tea vodka, so maybe I'll break into that.

I have 4 meetings tomorrow so it'll be hectic so I may need a drink when I get home. Then it's Thursday.... Hoping to keep drinks to a smaller number. I enjoy drinking more frequently but in less volume. I just feel like @ss when I drink excessively.

Derby was FUN FUN FUN though! We even won one of the big pots, so about $100. But then we bought the fight, which was $100.

Happy Cinco de Mayo lushes! I've got my famous carne asada marinating and will make salsa and guac later. I'm sure the tequila will make an appearance at some point. Just hoping I manage a workout in there somewhere. :drinker:

Mon - 2 beers

Happy Drinco de Mayo!

hello all. new to this group. I have been noticing that i have been overindulging recently with the beer and/or wine. I don't consume anything else but those 2 types of alcohol. I know most of it has to do with my not liking my job recently. However, I have noticed waking up with a mild headache each morning (no, it's not a hangover). so, i need to go back to my previous goal of only having a 12 oz beer or 5 oz wine a few times a week, not EVERY night. Does anyone else have that problem? how do you stick with your goal?

Hi kkz! Welcome!

I cannot believe it is only Wednesday. Does anyone else feel like this is the longest week ever?

Your week has sucked Gary hope it improves :drinker:
I'm having a difficult time getting back into a healthy routine after our getaway. My shoulder has also been bothering me a lot...but I'm going to get in a good workout today if it kills me.
