I love that I'm able to stay at home with my fur kids and keep the house clean, only downside for me is I don't have a license so I'm home all the time. I do get out of the house for date night or when we run errands on the weekends. I know that has a lot to do with my boozy beverage issue. I'm sure once I get my license and can go places I'll be good.

4 glasses of wine last night which is a huge reduction from Tuesday but I would still like 0's during the week and only 1-3 on Fridays and/or Saturdays. Read some interesting articles on booze and weight loss. Think it'll help me steer clear during the week and be good on the weekends. Time will tell! Going for 0 tonight as weigh in day is tomorrow, however that may be shot due to my muscles hanging onto water at the moment. Going to get in a really good bike ride and lots of water to flush things out.

Man, I've really sucked this week!

Monday - 0
Tuesday - 10 ounces Voli Lyte Vodka
Wednesday (immediately after my PT session) - 6 Miller Lites
Thursday - ???

I've decided to give up beer in March. Beer only (not my vodka or wine). My birthday is at the end of this month and I'm sure I'll be drinking a LOT of beer around that time.

Oh, Kim... it sounds like that ear thing is painful. I hope draining it takes the pain away!

Yvonne... wow! I don't think I've been on a streak that long in years. Kudos!!

You ladies with your HUGE wine glasses are making me giggle. :laugh: My husband's best friend brought some random chick over to my house last summer and she broke my favorite huge wine glass. I'd had it for about 10 years. :explode: I'm still shopping for the next "specail" one...

And... don't fall out of your chairs... I LOVE MY JOB!!! :bigsmile:

I've been good...tonight will be the kicker, however--parent/teacher conferences until 7:30.

Sunday=0
Monday=0
Tuesday=0
Wednesday=0
Thursday=??? I'm hoping for 0, but we'll see!

Oh and Kim, how long has your effing ear been messed up??? Seems like forever!! It must be making you nuts. Hope you get some relief soon. :flowerforyou:

Officially, 4 weeks this Saturday...yes, I mourned the loss of my hearing...procedure went well; now, I just have to wait for things to drain and settle down.

WOW...took me a while to catch up on posts...only one person loves their job...ha, ha :laugh:

Kat, I don't know how you get along without a license...that would drive me crazy to be stranded...but, I have kids so it makes a difference.

Amy-Dot...conferences would make me drink..in fact, I have one tonight for little guy

Jenbit...so far, so good, we have 0's. :flowerforyou:

Question is, if your a housewife...is it with or without kids? Makes a huge difference. Loved the idea of waiting for the cable guy he, he

Wlgreen...that is the reason we are stuck at our weights...:drinker: :drinker:

Yeah it's tough and there's only so much cleaning to be done around the house because I'm a neat freak so it's normally tidy, unless my fiancé has had the week off. We don't have kids yet but when we do I know I won't have a problem staying home all the time.

So, after rethinking about all the articles I read about alcohol and weight loss, it finally made sense in my head. Definitely going to try and go easy on the sauce by not having any during the week and only having a few drinks Fridays and Saturdays. Maybe once I get to the weight or size I want to be back to then I'll work a couple glasses in each night as there are some benefits to moderate drinking but until then I'm going to really focus on my work outs and food

So I have a new goal for myself. Next week, NO ALCOHOL. Wife goes out of town next week so it is just me and the kid, no trivia night, so it should be easier. Plan on having a couple tonight, maybe tomorrow, but I will start Booze Free Week on Sunday.

Monday- 0
Tuesday- 0
Wednesday- 0
Thursday- 0
Friday- definitely something!!! either some vodka drinks or beer, we will see what I'm feeling like later
Saturday- probably wine
Sunday- back to zeros!!

Hi, peeps...GM

I'll probably be drink-free tonight as well....weight is up 1.8 lbs from last Friday and I p*ssed about it. I think it's water weight, but....WHATevvvver! I know it's not from drinking. I know the 'ol bod is changing, it just I want the scale to move as well.

HAVE A LUSHY WEEKEND TO THOSE WHO PLAN TO LUSH IT UP :drinker: :drinker:

Wow! So many did so good this week with all the 0s!! Congrats to everyone! I only caved on Wednesday night and limited it to two drinks.

Tonight - I have declared date nite with the husband and I am considering this my cheat night! Still gonna try to limit the number of drinks instead of blowing it out!

Saturday and Sunday will probably involve some drinking, but will try to keep under calories. My daughter has a cheer competetion tomorrow so it will be easy to do since we will get home late (but will definitely need a drink after that is over!) Sunday, we are going to a friends house for roof raising - steak dinner affair, lol:drinker: :drinker:

After reading this, it sounds as if I might have a "cheat" weekend! Have a great weekend all!:drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

Yesterday was a diaster!!! My husband's grandmother was in critical condition due to an obstruction in her bowel .She is the strongest woman I know, at the age of 83 she recovered and is in stable condition....AMAZING!! When we got the news she was having emergency surgery we drove to the hospital in South Jersey (about 2 1/2hr drive). We stayed down for the night and headed back up this morning. I ate crappy and drank too many beers FOR SURE....6 beers I think and 2 grape vodka and sprites!!!
All I wanna do tonight is relax on the couch and order a pizza.......
