Amy, congratulations on the job!!! That is awesome! I wish you nothing but joy and the best of luck!!!! I know how slow the system works so at least it will give you some time to get all your ducks in a row!!! :drinker:

Syd, I am just seeing your post about your son....what a boy you guys have there...you must be so proud! Congrats to him!!

Thanks Kate. We are incredibly proud. It's very nice to know he's set for the next 2 years and working toward his dreams. It'll be fun to watch!

Yvonne congrats on the goal weight! Robin you were busy but how exciting to have new fun things! I'd love to do some things around the house. Ashley, you had me until the gross box chard...I would have woke up a mess
I have small success (if I ever hit my goal weight I'll throw a huge party and invite you all)..I moderated and didn't erase my weekly progress. Had wine every day but only went through a little less than 2 bottles in 3 days. Exercised too. So I feel pretty good about it.
Back to the pool today...working on that shoulder strength. It's 80 degree temps all week which makes me want to drink but I'm going to work on some 0's.
Have a good week lushes!

I abstained for margarita day. Yay me.

Monday - 0

Let's see if I can get a streak going.....

Wow, I saw it was national margarita day and I poured tequila (Christmas present) into a Sprite (leftover from a party in October), but I didn't drink anymore that that, so that's a win, I suppose.
I did have a margarita Friday (after a wine spritzer) and Saturday I had 4 beers, I think. I had a big glass of wine Sunday, to finish the bottle we opened Thursday...
I think I should try the 7 drinks per week... maybe 0 tonight...

I think it is almost time to dry out. It's been an incredibly lushy few months. Most of the family has left the island. Aunt and two Uncles are still here. We might go to happy hour with them tonight...maybe. I don't really wanna go out to eat again but I am not sure if we will get a chance to see them again before they leave.
We spent the weekend with Lenny's parents, sil and bil....ridiculous amount of everything!!!

Hey all.

Monday - 0
Tuesday - a cider and a wine spritzer with some very mediocre chard. I just really don't dig chards..... = 2
Wednesday - 2 ciders, poured another crappy spritzer and had about 3 sips of it = 2

I'm not sure what I want my strategy to be on drinking. I say I'm going to have 0's till the weekend....ok Thursday.....and then I drink on a weeknight feel bad about it and/or hit it hard Thursday because I've been "being good" all week. I'm wondering if I shouldn't just drink moderately all the time! But in all seriousness.....I've been reading this decent book series about this girl that studies abroad in France and ends up living there and they drink every day. At lunch, at any occasion....all the time. I also listened to this conference call recently (for my 90 day workout program) and the speaker was talking about how she used to be a big time drinker. And you know a lot of trainers are always like, "alcohol is bad...don't drink it!" She says she goes to happy hour every Friday and has 2 drinks because she still enjoys it. And if she thinks during the week, "I'd like to have a drink", she knows she will Friday. I mean not that I'm going to limit myself to that, but I wonder if I just say it's OK to have a drink or two most nights, maybe that would keep me from from binging so much on weekends. It has worked with me for food so maybe booze too. I would love to be able to be the type of person who has a glass of wine every night and maybe 2 or 3 on the weekends. So maybe I'll try to work towards that and then slowly back off the most nights to some nights. Just a thought...... Sorry to write a book.

Oh yeah, but Thursday will probably be a couple drinks. Eric is meeting a buddy for beer so I may grab a red and see if I can moderate with the wine.

Yup...moderation for me is the key. Having a lot of 0's then rewarding myself at the end of the week doesn't seem to work since I usually end up over doing it.
On that note, happy Friday lushes! :drinker:

Monday - 0
tuesday - 2
Wednesday - 2
Thursday - 4

May leave early to go to a client happy hour. Still want to take it easy and get to bed early. My little guy decided his new wake up time is 6am instead of 7-730. I don't like it so much.

I leave in 3 weeks for a Spring Break trip...which means bathing suit time!! I am cracking this fat *kitten* into shape to drop at least 5 lbs before then. I just bought a bunch of sparkling water. I am a good water drinker in general...but sparkling water kinda makes me feel like I'm having a cocktail. So I'm hoping it helps.

Friday was not good...started drinking wine around 2 because the husband and son were both home (I'll just blame it on them)...didn't stop til late and went through 2 bottles of wine. 0 Saturday and Sunday. I'm out of wine and the husband is in Alabama so maybe I'll do better.
