    Welcome Sarahmary!

    Question for Kat...Is that five drinks a week? a night? a sitting? an hour? Just curious so we can help :laugh:

    AFM: Sunday - 3 glasses of white wine. I am sooooo happy it's football season but the Falcons (lived near Atlanta for 19 years now) looked like crap today :grumble:

    Hope everyone accomplishes their goals next week!

    I went to the pool and and a great swim instead of sitting watching the Chargers play a crappy first half and drinking beer and eating all the snacks the boys had. I'm proud of myself.

    Of course now I'm having wine and about to enjoy some grilled fajitas and homemade salsa. I'll skip the tortillas and cheese probably. I'm still not ready for summer to be over. I guess that's why I live in San Diego. :glasses:
    Have a great week everyone!

    I lived in San Diego for 31 years & go back every summer : ) Proud of myself, didn't have any alcohol till after 8pm. Hubby asked if I was alright. Ha! I said I thought I was shakey cuz I had too much Arizona diet tea. Having my 3 vodka tonics now. No more shakes, LOL.

    Oh I found my thread here!

    I haven't had any alcohol since joining MFP on Tuesday... but normally I'd have maybe a glass of wine every other night, or a beer a week. It's always tied into what I'm eating, and I find that I keep myself in check that way. If I ever feel like having a binger, I find that I'll overeat while I'm drinking... but I've been known to do that every other month or so.

    My faves - a glass of Crown, neat, with about 1/4 bar of Lindt's Excellence Chili Bar.

    Oh yesssss.

    Haha thanks for wanting to know for support. 5 drinks whenever I happen to drink, that could be daily or sometimes weekly. I mean that if I am going to drink daily, I would like to hold it to 5 or less drinks and I'd like to do the same, say when we have our Halloween party or Christmas party. I think it's doable and especially now since I want to lose some weight. Luckily alcohol takes away my appetite so I don't get hungry or the munchies. I'm stopping at slightly over 5 tonight (bottle of wine).

    Whew! Husband came home and saved me from the whole bottle. So, only 3 glasses tonight but that vodka in the freezer is calling me. S.....a.....r.....a......h......I taste good with diet cheery coke.........

    I'm really low on calories tonight and had a great dinner so why not? Bed in an hour or so anyways. Maybe some tea instead? Totally lame.

    Meh, I'm all congested.

    So, I had a night out with a friend for her birthday--Olive Garden for dinner and out for drinks afterwards. Hubs drove, so I was free to drink. I didn't do too badly...I didn't eat a ton, had a double-tall vodka and soda pre-dinner, about 1/2 a bottle of Roscato with dinner and then a cuke martini afterwards...and we were home by 10:30. I'm getting old!

    Sunday=0

    Shooting for 0 this week. I'm getting sick, so not drinking shouldn't be an issue. :wink:

    Any of the new lushes, feel free to friend me!

    Friday-2 glasses of wine
    Saturday-bloody mary, colorado bulldog, vodka lemonade, bud light lime, taster flight of oktoberfest brews, coors light.
    and then I passed out. I blame the antibiotic I took, 6 drinks isn't that much!
    Sunday=0 drinks

    So I was really able to do it last night. I successfully convinced myself not to give in and just have one. I am so amped for staying alcohol free for a whole other week. (probably the best thing since I am traveling on business) I checked out all the hotels I am staying at and they all have fitness centers so instead of going up to my room with a bottle of wine, I will work out for a couple of hours. The good news is that I am officially back under my ticker weight this morning. I will post a loss probably tomorrow. (I creeped up almost 6 pounds but refused to change the ticker:blushing: )

    I am really reveling in my food again. Breakfast is so good when I didn't drink too much the night before. I do miss dinner (protein shakes are keeping me on track but my inner gourmet is screaming at me) I will be spending the next couple of months trying to find the right balance between new found love of exersize, moderate drinking and good food. I am such a work in progress.

    Don't worry dear lushes, Mama Lush will always be ready and waiting to down another bottle of wine or a bunch of alcohol, I just have to get back on top of it. Much love to you all:flowerforyou:

    You are doing awesome..........and I hope to be back to where my ticket says I am sooooooon too!

    5 drinks last night

    Started today with a big plate of egg whites with sautéed onions & hot sauce as well as a glass of grapefruit juice. Good 'n' full & ready for a work out & housework.

    Drank 4 Bud55's last night and 2 or 3 shots of Underground and a shot or 2 of Vodka. Didn't think that was TOO much since I started early....but didn't sleep well last night and felt pretty crappy this morning - didn't work out.....so, since I'm feeling better I'm planning on getting a good workout in around 5pm - and being good this entire week.
    No drinks Mon-Thurs (goal) and Friday will be light since I have to travel and won't get a chance to workout - and will get home late, so might get to have a glass of wine or so.....

    Have a great week lushies, make good choices!

    Mind if I join you? I read through the posts and it is relieving to know there are others out there :happy:

    My husband works for a liquor warehouse, so we are probably stocked better than our local bar. Thank goodness I only prefer tequila or I think I would be in huge trouble. I drink tequilla and diet grapefruit soda every night - which usually ends up being the whole bottle of tequila and a 12 pack of soda at the end of the week :blushing: Just like to get to that nice relaxed state.

    I really need to work on incorporating the calories into my daily allotment so I can see this weight come off.

    ya it was lame but I drank tea last night bf bed. save the vodka for another night. :)

    Tea is what I turn do when I go booze free for a night. However, I was just rationalizing that I shouldn't have to go a night without wine since it is so loaded with important anti-oxidants. She is a good friend and completely agreed ;) My current goal is to not go over 2 on a given night...and to stay within the calorie goal.
    It is nice to see everybody's updates, and welcome to the new faces :)

    It is only Monday. May the force be with you all, and Friday come again quickly!

    Think I'll have some vodka sodas tonight. A habit I'll never kick is soda, I don't have it regularly but I love it. It fills me up, I like the flavor and love the fizz. Found all natural soda at Whole Foods, I know that doesn't mean it's good for me but it makes me feel a little better about drinking it haha. Or since I have a good amount of calories left, I may use a grapefruit izzy for the mixer, we'll see!

    Ohh wow it is so nice to find fellow indulgers! Honestly, I think alcohol is my #1 diet sabotage. I am young (23) and love to go out. I try to do vodka and club soda with lime (they are my favorite), but I drink them so fast I am usually the first one feeling tipsy! When I go out and want to drink and spend time with everyone I need to drink beer because I can drink that relatively slow and then oops there goes my diet! Especially since I love the lagers.... And then I get home and eat a half a package of my stashed 'PMS' Oreos and wake up the next morning hating myself. Lol Atleast I can come on here and whine about it. I havent been out in a while because I hate that feeling! Just wanted to commiserate. =)

    I love grapefruit, simply grapefruit juice is the best, tastes exactly as it does when you wheeze the actual fruit for juice. When I was first introduced to grapefruit izzy when I worked at Starbucks, I fell in love. I can't imagine it would be bad with vodka but I'll definitely let everyone know, :drinker:

    My aunt and uncle live in Colorado! I've only been there once and I was really little so the only parts I remember are my ears bothering me on the plane, it being pretty hot, shrimp cocktail and my uncle introducing me to Dr. Pepper, which I love.

    The grapefruit izzy and vodka is scrumptious, especially when you have some good vodka and therefore can't taste it. Of course that can be a dangerous thing too haha.

    Very dangerous...if you want to save some calories, mix the izzy with sparking water :love:
