    Last night had 3 vodka, this weekend is looking good for me.. not seeing boyfriend. When I see him I loose all control over my drinking... Maybe it is because he drinks...

    So excited to see this group! I'm a wine drinker working on loosing 20 pounds before my big "40" birthday in January! I've lost 8 over the last month, but hit a wall this week with both diet and exercise. A running friend suggested this website so here I am to be held accountable and to not feel so bad about my wine calories and maybe get ideas to help curtail my urge for the bulbus glass of wine...lol

    As much as I love my beer and wine, I have been trying to cut back a bit. Had a rough couple weeks and probably over induldged. That being said I have gone over a week with no drinking and have decided today I'm going to celebrate a new success with a lovely bottle of wine. I'm an artist and a store just signed me on to sell my work in their store!! I'm super excited so I think a bottle of wine is well deserved (just need to make sure I work out today so I have enough calories lol).

    So I thought I was going to be good last night. I was planning on eating a turkey burger - had enough calories for it, but my wonderful boyfriend bought steaks. MMMMM with blue cheese and an artichoke (with mayonaise of course....) which would have been OK, except I had a wonderful bottle of wine that went perfectly with the meal........
    So I ended the day 1000 cal Over.
    But it was soooo yummy
    My question to you guys is how many calories do you average a day (including booze :smile: ) ?
    Are you losing weight?
    Thanks!!! Oh and TGIF :drinker:

    I average around 1500 calories. Sometimes more. I am still loosing weight. I weighed the least this morning which is due to dehydration but it was great to see that number on the scale. Cheers!:drinker:

    I think I hit 1,900 yesterday, and that included 1.5 beers and 1.5 shots. I just have to make sure I stay within calories. I know tonight is the beginning of my Fall Break, so we'll probably get stupid. Therefore, my hubs and I will probably take a 60 minute bike ride, which will burn about 440 calories.

    Around 1400-1500 with booze. I like to zigzag my calories because my body tends to get into ruts if I eat and exercise the same way every day (which I was doing for quite some time). so some days I will go quite a bit over...some under.
    If I'm going really hard core and want to drop weight quick (before a vacay like I did just recently) I will go for 1200.

    Friends, I have tasted Heaven and it is Shock Top Pumpkin (I'm sure any pumpkin will do...) with a shot of vanilla vodka poured in...with a cinnamon and sugared rim.

    You can thank me later. :drinker:
    Really? I think some friends left a Blue Moon Pumpkin at my house, but I don't have the vanilla vodka. I have never put vodka in beer, but I am intrigued. Maybe they will make me one at the bar this weekend! Bowling and BBQ for belated bday for DH.

    pumpkin beer and vanilla vodka sounds really interesting

    solpwr you are doing awesome. way to go.

    I am drinking chard tonight and trying to combat a serious salty craving. Here's to a lushy weekend!!!

    I don't do flavored vodkas. I don't do flavored coffee either. I'm not into sweet drinks.
    give it to me strong. :glasses:

    Robin I have the salt craving too! I just had 2 shrimp tacos. that' should help satisfy that, I'd think.

    I've averaged 2 glasses of wine every night this week, I've eaten yummy and large, but low carb, meals every night (including pizza), I cut out breakfast as I'm fed up with forcing myself to eat in the mornings so my calories have stayed the same because of the alcohol. I've lost over 2lb this week, I've been feeling great, and my workouts have been excellent, strength is improving. Now I'm not going to try to pretend it would be good to do this regularly but it's proven to me that if I feel like having a lushy week I can :happy: :drinker:

    Kate, that sounds fun! I was totally ready to get my drink on last night, but after 2 glasses of wine (actually a little less than that) I was ready for bed.

    I have Fall Break this week, and break weeks are usually deadly for my husband and I...we drink when we clean, we drink when we do laundry, we drink...a lot.

    Happy Saturday!!

    Enjoyed my bottle of wine last night. Only planned on having a glass or two, but once I start I feel bad for the wine left in the bottle. I am compelled to drink the whole bottle so none feels left out or lonely (or at least thats what I tell myself lol).

    It is...I'm just glad it's only a week. Our break routine would explain the 10 pounds I put on this summer!

    I was inspired so I just made a pumpkin pie spice and sugar rimmed glass, poured in a Blue Moon Harvest Pumpkin Ale and poured in a shot of Pinacle whipped cream vodka. Very nice, fun party drink. (seeing as how I am really a goose and rocks kinda girl this was a little bit of fun for me)

    I had fun at the liquor store today. I bought a bacardi flavored sampler (6 little flavored rums) a bacardi christmas pack 4 200ml rums (white, gold, select and limon) Hot buttered rum here I come. I got a goose sampler with reg, orange, pear and citron and then I picked up a couple of other little shots to try. I love playing at the liquor store. :laugh:
