@ahoy_m8 & @Womona - I’m LSU ZTA plus so is my daughter and two daughter in laws and goddaughter. Small world!
Walked 4 miles in New Orleans. Did not wander with a drink in hand! Stopped at Felix’s Oyster Bar and Peche. Wonderful food!!! Sat at the bar in restaurants and chatted with a number of friendly folks.
1 beer + 3 wine + 1 Benedictine over 5 hrs plus lots of water
Baked drum fish! Yum

Another AF night down. Husband had a miserable day but didn't drink either. I'm grateful.
@Lilylady3k Oh man, excellent choices. Last time we were in NOLA we did ACME oysters (across the street from Felix) and Cochon (same restaurant group as Peche). There's so much good food in that city, it's hard to pick just a few places for a weekend trip.9 -
Hey everyone!
BIG moment for me. AF on a FRIDAY night. I had to do it though bc I “traded” Monday (the holiday) for Friday. I was so tempted but remembered I made a promise to MYSELF.
I got on some inspiring weighloss stories and that brought my head back where it needed to be.
My goal as of now is no more than three days a week to have alcohol...this way the majority of the week I am AF. 😅
I would love some new friends on here as I had to create a new account a few years ago (forgot password and got irritated) so starting over. Feel free to “friend” me if you’re looking for support/meet new people.
Cheers (with my water) to FRIDAY!7 -
Good evening to all from the west coast LOL
AF last night and tonight so I have a rolling 3AF days out of 4. It is hard tonight though DH is having a few Irish Whiskey. But I may 'reward' myself tomorrow. I have been to the gym 4 mornings this week and done a ton of yard work. All that has led to the scale going down in the right direction.
@Lilylady3k Yum on the food, I have only been to New Orleans once and that was way way back in like...2004 ish? I do remember the food and free flowing alcohol in the french quarter. I did not know anyone there and was determined to a vacation by myself, so I did. I met a lovely trio of ladies who volunteered to show me around that night. I had a blast! They even made sure I got back to the hotel safely
.....enough reminiscing
Clinking glasses with you @aipfsu my lemon water is refreshing and my mock whiskey tastes wonderful8 -
@Lilylady3k
Thanks for the pics! Show us more : - )4 -

Friday June 04 - AF - It has been very hot here all week, by mid-afternoon I had to stop walking around doing Census. I will get at it again early in the morning tomorrow before it heats up. I got some garden stuff planted this morning before going out to work for StatsCan (can't knock on people's doors earlier than 9am, that would just be rude). Garden pics to come

I wish I was with @Lilylady3k in New Orleans eating all that delicious food. Oh, lucky....I am sooo hungry right now!
Good news is I lost a lb. @chocolate_owl. Yep, 1....but hey I will take it.
Nothing exciting on my end, just working way, way too much.

Opened a bottle of wine with dinner last night. Husband had some, but he was in a cocktail mood so I ended up drinking most of it, then chased it with a splash of port. Oops. We had fun watching baseball and arguing about the merits of unwritten rules, so at least it wasn’t drinking alone. Planning on a beer or two with dinner out, but I won’t be opening anything when we get back.
I’ve gotten over 3 miles of walking today from shopping! My cousin’s wedding is next weekend, and despite owning 50-something pairs of shoes, I don’t have the right shoes to go with the dress I want to wear. No luck finding shoes for the event, but I still came home with shoes... Rainbow glitter and lilac leopard print sneakers for work, and completely unnecessary heels. I forgot how fun shopping was!

@globalhiker congrats on being down a pound! I’ve lost 3 lbs this week, putting me 1 lb away from the magic number, but I’ll be back up 2 lbs tomorrow since I lifted today. I just want to get there already!
@Lilylady3k I want all of that food so bad. What’s the fried monster?5 -
Seriously....I just came home with 6 lbs jumbo shrimp after seeing @Lilylady3k 's pix. I need a seafood gumbo badly....I am missing the okra and need to go find it tomorrow.
Nice leopard print sneakers there @chocolate_owl. I colored my hair....was starting to look like Grandpa from the Munsters...not the face but the wiry white tufts of hair above the ears LOL. All gone....back to pretty woman
AF and hungry for gumbo...7 -
Had two glasses of wine yesterday and Friday night. My weight is creeping back up so I need to back down the alcohol. I had a drink every day of last week, so even though I was able to moderate my drinks per night, I definitely fell into “it’s a random Tuesday” drinking habit.
I really wanted a third drink much later in the day yesterday, but instead I had a bunch of chocolate. I blame PMS! Haha!

Oh boy I have been slacking at checking in. Not intentional.
Been super busy with work, and ART, and Summer stuff in general.

My quick accountability for this weekend is one alcohol drink at home last evening.

-
oh my it looks like my post from yesterday went poof! recap
AF Friday and Saturday
@chocolate_owl Love the shoes and food pictures (heels YES, I have the perfect outfit btw...what size are they LOL)
@Lilylady3k Is that deep fried soft shell crab I see????
@globalhiker yum to the gumbo, I have a great recipe. But I do skip the orka, unless it is deep fried you can keep the slimy stuff haha
So I tried Heineken 00 beer and Becks alcohol free beers yesterday. the Heineken is a definite winner. It was so nice to sit and watch my 'hulu' with my beer and....damm when I drink I snack, coconut macaroon = 3lb gain this am. I know it is sodium combined with the take out mexican food for lunch. Oh well a few days pushing water and I will be fine.
ok I am off for now4 -

Bride & Groom Cocktails before the wedding last night. 1 whiskey sour.
Outdoor wedding & reception in the sprinkling rain started when bridesmaids came out to the big oak tree and stopped after dinner. No alternative plans in case of rain. Imagine people holding umbrellas over the cakes! The only umbrellas so everyone just sat or stood in the rain. People were good sports. Dance floor & DJ did have a small tent. Enjoyed the evening anyway!
3 glasses of wine plus lots of water5 -
