Hello and welcome to the thread that acknowledges alcohol. smiley-eatdrink060.gifWe like it.
Most of us drink it. We struggle with the effect it has on our weight loss. We support each other when we strive to control it. We support each other when we fail to control it.

This is a support zone. Not a judging zone.

So now that summer is truly here we all seem to have some struggles ahead of us. for those of us in the States this weekend tends to be BBQ crazy and that tends to involve alcohol. I will be struggling but I think I am ready to really start to kick in gear next week.:wink:

I will trying to keep it lo cal in the mean time.

    Sunday=1/2 bottle of champagne
    Monday=0 drinks
    Tuesday=2 drinks
    Wednesday=5 beers
    Thursday=1 rum and ginger ale
    Friday, not sure, going out to dinner so maybe some wine.
    I don't really have any big plans for the 4th of July. We'll probably go to the lacross game to watch the fireworks.
    Have a great weekend, fellow lushes!

    Bottle of wine last night. Date night tonight so I'll have wine out or maybe some beer. Either way it'll be a good night. Having friends over for the weekend the way we did last year. We woke up and did a power hour before noon :noway: Not sure I want to drink as much as we did last year but we'll see what happens!

    In case I don't log on, have a wonderful holiday weekend all! :drinker:

    I'm not a huge drinker but I do love some tequila! (by some I mean lots)

    But he's kind of like a lifetime boyfriend... Tequila says he loves me and then I wake up the next morning wishing I'd never met him.

    Wishing you all healthy luck this weekend!

    xoxo

    OMG YAY! I'm so glad I bumped into this thread! I'm a complete and total lush and while I've been fairly successful at keeping my weekday drinking down in my whole effort to lose weight, I'm definitely going way over my calorie allotment for the weekends, thanks to my good pal, booze. Hoping to keep it under control (haha or at least say I'm going to) for this holiday weekend. Already have plans at an eat-in/drink-serving movie theater tonight though so we'll see....

    So far this week:
    Mon= 0 drinks
    Tues= 2 vodka sodas and 1 bloody mary (my drink of choice- not a fan of the sugary stuff)
    Wed= 3 huge glasses of sangria
    Thurs= 1 glass of wine
    Today......who knows?

    Have a fun 4th everyone!

    I don't have any big plans yet because I thought I might be stuck at the office... But leaving early today (NOW) and I'm going to get started celebrating by myself! :glasses:

    REMEMBER: NO DRUNK TEXTING.... POST IT HERE! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Oh, BTW, being in the UK, July 4 doesn't bring us a holiday, but I am giving a nod with some all-American chocolate peanut butter cupcakes (baking tomorrow). Should put on a few lbs I don't need :laugh:

    Luscious Lushes, I'm glad you're not judging! It's such a sad thing when I'm at my calorie limit for the day, but still would like to have a delicious ale to wind down the evening. It *is* a fine motivating factor to go for a half-hour walk in the evening or a run in the morning to "pad" the calorie limit a bit...

    To my U.S. pals, have a safe and happy 4th of July holiday, and to my friends in foreign lands, have a wonderful weekend!

    I'm having a mini holiday weekend, even though I'm in UK I've got Monday off work as my son's school have decided to have a training day, great timing after the school was closed yesterday due to a strike.

    Oh and no alcohol for me tonight, seriously? on a Friday? :noway: something's gotta be wrong and I had 800 spare calories.

    I'm not the only one on here!
    I was so excited to find 0 calorie margarita mix today and needed someone to share it with! Who knows how long its been there, but I just found it (my store hides the alcohol from the rest of the store so if you don't go lookin' you won't find it).

    Gonna enjoy some margaritas this weekend!

    most nights its just white wine, but special occasions.....tequila!

    I started July off by celebrating Canada Day with some Canadian friends yesterday. I know I lost count how many drinks I had but I stuck to Malibu Rum mixed w/Sprite Zero or 10 calorie Tropicana Fruit Punch. So, here's to a weekend of working (at least for me) and maybe a couple days w/o alcohol?

    0 yesterday and still 0 today so far.
    I've been slacking on the exercising though, and it's starting to show..I feel sluggish and the scale inched up.
    I did manage to put in some workout time today. More of the same the rest of the weekend is a must. Especially if I decide to have a cocktail or 2...which knowing me, I will. :drinker:
    Hope everyone's enjoying their weekend. It's finally summer in So Cal...I turned on our A/C for the first time!

    Friday - 1.5 glasses of chardonnay
    Saturday - zip, zero, nada

    stc74...Let us know how those 0 cal margaritas taste. I can't seem to find a yummy low cal version.

    Hope everyone has a happy and healthy rest of the weekend!

    I had a couple shots last night, but that was it...Of course, I started the shots at 10 and didn't go to bed until 1 because I was dealing with my drunk and sad neighbor. Ah, the things we do for our friends. :drinker:

    I know..I'm strunned.
    Tonite? Maybe a glass of wine. We're having a quiet holiday weekend since we all got crazy on vacay recently.
    Going to try to do a 30 min shred and maybe swim as well.

    Friday= 1/2 bottle of wine and two miller lite pints
    Saturday=1 marg and 7 beers at the Rockies game. yikes, lots of drinking this weekend!
    now, off to the Cherry Creek Arts Festival, maybe happy hour and then the fireworks at Mile High, there's a lacrosse game but I am not so interested in that part.

    Sun = just starting on my 4th cider :blushing: each one being 500ml (just under 1 pint for my non euro friends) and between 4.5 and 7.5 % alcohol, I've been trying out lots of different regional ones :happy: oh and I'm pishhed as a fart :laugh:
