Last week was my best week so far! M-Th AF. I did it!!! Fr-Sun in moderation. I try for 5 drinks or the equivalent of a bottle of wine for the whole weekend. Friday 2 glasses of chard Saturday: went to a MLM party that my niece was having. She put on the invitation games, wine, and food. So I had planned on having 1 glass…

Did pretty good this week. A-F Mon-Wed and then 3 swallows of a hard seltzer on Thurs. Is that considered AF or not? Weekend moderation: 2 glasses of wine on Friday, 2 vodka and Cranberrys on Sat, and 1 glass of wine on Sun. I feel really good about it. I didn't want to go over my goals and I didn't. I was very meticulous…

I too had an aha moment. Eating at 1200 calories has been just a mental and physical grind for me since August. Then I realized that I was allotting 120-240 calories per night for a glass or two of wine. That means that I was trying to survive on roughly 1000 - 1100 calories a day!! When I started moderating and became…

Last night it was such a perfect evening. Nice crisp air, no humidity. One of my drinking triggers is a beautiful day. I remember when I was single sitting out on the deck of restaurant, eating appetizers and drinking margaritas or beers with friends. I decided that I was going to the store and find one of those low…

My jumps didn't go down until a few days 'after' my diet break and I was back into deficit.

I agree with everyone who has said that this is a great place to come for support without judgement.

I love street tacos! I can down 4 without batting an eye! They are like potato chips! And then with a Michelina (I renamed a Michelada because I hate tomato juice, so I order mine without) that is what is called Supremo! I agree with Maxxitt, be safe.

That saved me $55... of course thats going towards protein shakes...lol [/quote] I think I over estimated. I meant per month, but still that's $50 extra this month! $600 a year! Less money on Ibuprofen too! lol!
-
That's true. It just freaked me out for a minute. lol.
-
Think about the money you saved too! I estimated that I'm saving about $50-$60 a week by being AF Mon-Thurs. Great job! There's alot of gains by being AF and Moderation! What will you do with your extra cash?

With all the mark zuckerberg and facebook stuff, have you guys noticed what the top ad on this page is? hmm makes you think. I'm on my computer not my phone. It may be different on my phone. Add: It is different on my phone. No ad.

I have a love/hate relationship with Mad Men. I rented Season 1 on Netflix but decided that I would just watch the rest as they come on cable. It is so well written and at times extremely funny, but I am constantly saying, "oooh that makes me so mad" whenever one of the guys pop off a sexist remark or something is…

Good Monday morning to all! It's a new day and a new week. I had my best week so far. It was not perfect, but it was still my best. My plan is AF M-Th and 1 single bottle of wine on the weekend. I had 2 beers on Thursday. I went to eat at a sports bar with a friend and she was drinking a beer when I got there, and so I…

Chick-fil-A if you have one near you.

@SouthernCountryGirl Love your wisdom and encouragement. @ehseeker Don't watch Mad Men then. That show is reeking with bad habits with drinking at the top.

Don't want to talk about WHR. :s Not yet at least.

@salleewins He was actually trying to tempt me with a real glass of wine. LOL! But that was ok. I had this in the pantry. Correct. No alcohol. I found it at Kroger. It was in the 'health' food section where they keep all the different flavors of coconut water and such. Next time I go, I'm getting more. They had different…

Last night hubby wanted to have a drink and he was like, 'are you sure you don't want a glass?'. I bought these just to try them out on these occasions. 'Almost' like a real glass of wine. It was nice and floral. The bottle says 'delicate' and it was. The whole bottle is only 45 calories, so that was a win too. And it gave…

I love this 'the wine witch'. I think we all have a little wine(insertyourpoisonofchoice) witch in all of us.

@JulieAL1969 Pukka Tea??? Haha the ingredients sound devine, but that name?? :p :p @ksaghy I know what you mean about been drinking forever. I started when I was 18 also. It used to be legal to buy what we called 3.2 beer at 18 and also go to the bars way back then. Lots of college puking memories. We sure could have used…

@wigi41 Love it!

All my praise to those who have maintained AF! Great job to you! Great job to those in Moderation like me! M-Th

Good morning! I hope everyone had a Happy Easter! I just finished up a 16 day diet break. I'm packing 3-4 more pounds than before my diet break. I hope I'll have most of it off this week with my deficit. This diet break was kinda crazy for me. I was thrown into it by circumstances and so I just went with it. The first 2…

In!

Progress report on my M-Th AF goal. I had one 5oz glass of chard on Wednesday. That was it! I came home and it was 72 degrees with no humidity. It was the kind of day that I like to sit on the porch and enjoy wine before dinner. Somehow it wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be. I really think I would have enjoyed…

I think if you just tag it as a yellow 'star' favorite it will give you notifications. If you want them emailed to you, I think you have to adjust your notification settings. Peace be with you.

I use to hang on the notion that 4 oz of red wine was good for your heart, so 2-3 8oz glasses would be even better! Ha!
-
@kittybenn Oh yes, Your tab is double when you add just one or two drinks to it!
-
This may have been discussed in an earlier month. I'm just a March Baby. :) Here is another perspective on why some one may want to go AF or Moderation. My main reason for moderation is long term health and to ward off chronic disease like cancer and heart related issues. My dad passed in 2016 from a diabetes related heart…

I would dip my potato chips in ketchup!
