I do the SAME thing!2 -
After doing so well on Friday night, I didn't fare so well on Saturday. My husband was outside putting up Christmas lights and we had a brisket in the smoker, which pretty much serves as an open invitation for anyone in the neighborhood to stop by. So it ended up being one of those days where I poured a glass of wine around 3PM and ended up going to bed after midnight having completely lost track of whatever I ate or drank. Those are the days that I am trying to avoid! I did manage out make it out yesterday for an 8 mile run, so it couldn't have been that bad, but it still leaves me feeling disappointed with myself. No alcohol yesterday, but today we are going to the Steelers/Bengals game. Heading down early to tailgate. Will try my best to keep it in control.4

Blew it yesterday - weekends are tough! Going for none today so I can eat all of my calories.3

I'm in! I went to Universal this past weekend and drank allloooottttt.. My goal for this month is to cut down drastically. I plan on going out of town again next weekend so I'm gonna try to let that be one of the few times I drink this month. Even then I want to set a limit for myself. I need to put a cap on it around drink 4.4

I'm in too! tonight I will also start the 30 day shred and see how it goes. Anyone else doing it, I would like to have a "buddy" but I might need to be on a new thread for that? I looked but found this one and I need to cut out my daily wine too.2

67 days alcohol free and I've lost around 18 lbs! Once I got through the first month it was easy to keep it out of my routine14

Just started today. Time to get thin again5

I'm going to cut out alcohol during the work week, including Friday A maximum of 5 beers on Saturday and Sunday. Which is an awful lot, but a huge improvement for me. I started this last Monday, the 27th. I bought some growlers on Sunday, and I totally overdid it Sunday night, and I then ordered a bunch of food.4

Rarely consume alcohol, but when I do I consume straight liquor (typically high end tequila), as it gives the most bang for the buck. (1oz = 69 calories). Drinking one drink is pointless to me - if I drink, I want to get drunk, or at least buzzed. But having hundreds of calories of booze is not worth what I could have had in food, and especially the cost I pay having to slog through a hungover cardio workout. Cheers folks!1

Following also!2

Nope. I will keep drinking.

One day at a time....Wow, my wine spritzer worked and only had 2 glasses of wine. I plan on keeping the pattern and decreasing gradually to one glass of wine, then alcohol free days. Thank you for any support. It is helping me a lot writing here, as it helps me be more accountable. Also, I am praying for help. I know that I can do it, as I can do anything I put my mind to. This is part of my process with you all!4

Definitely wish I had found this last month as I was struggling. Hopefully the accountability will help.
So I can get an accurate count... A portion of wine is 5 or 6 ounces right??? Because my wine glasses hold a little more2 -
@changeNeeded87 I always thought a glass of wine is six ounces in a restaurant. I recently saw a glass that has lines on it for different wine pour ounces. It was pretty and the lines probably help you not over pour:)1

I use a measuring cup to accurately measure it with water first, then you know when you put the wine it it.3

Very good. You can do it. I only have one drink on Sunday and none on other days. It's not impossible.2 -
or you could put the wine of 5 ounces in the measuring cup and see where it comes up to the glass. I just bought a new glass for my wine spritzer, so I will be doing that today. It is a beautiful stemmed tall crystal glass specifically for my spritzers. I am doing so well with the spritzers and I found the glass at the thrift store this morning. My own little encouragement!
