Last night was a zero so that made two out of four. Not half bad. I've been eating well, counting calories, drinking less, kayaking twice a week and the scale isn't moving. THIS is what frustrates me. It's Friday so there will be wine. Happy weekend all!

Monday = 1 Tuesday = 0 Going for another zero tonight as we're planning on taking the kayaks out on the lake to watch the sunset. Trying to keep busy in the evenings -- it's easier to replace the wine when there's things going on.

Robin, that is awful! I'm so sorry you're going through this stress! Hang in there. Sending good vibes your way.

So, was trying to get four 0s this week but I don't think I'll make it. Hubby just asked me if I wanted to go to the local restaurant -- on the river -- to sit and have a drink. Hmm... Well, I am going to just give myself a high 5 for 3 days of zeros and move on to the weekend. There's always next week. I'm going to check…

Robin, so sorry you're having such a tough time. Do something nice for yourself if you can. Pretty good week, but am looking forward to the weekend! Mon = 0 Tues = 0 Wed = 0

Sydney, that sounds awful! Hope your MIL is ok. That's a big scare. Well, I've been away for a bit. Busy entertaining and that means eating and drinking.. a lot. Today is a zero day. Need to give my liver a rest. Good news is that I am loving kayaking. We moved to the mountains, near a lake and we bought kayaks and have…

Robin, I don't blame you for wanting to run away! Sending good vibes to you! Hope you have a good weekend. We are meeting new friends for dinner. Met them in Home Depot in the appliances dept! They just moved here to Blue Ridge Mountains from ALA... and we bonded over dishwasher comparisons... So funny. And yes, there will…

No zeros here in a while. Monday = 2 Tuesday = 2 Wednesday = 1/2 Life is just too darn good at the new cabin in the woods! Sitting on the porch listening to the rain with a glass of wine is just too easy. Going to try for a zero tonight.

Tues=0 Wed= 1 Thurs = 1 bourbon, 2 glasses of wine (maybe 2 1/2) My goal was a little off this week. But hey, I had one zero! Friday today so definitely a wine night.

Tues = 0 Wed = 1 (one glass of wine is SO good compared to last week's tally)

Tuesday = 0 Spent the evening on the porch with the new puppy. Life is pretty darn good. How is everyone doing this week?

New day. Back on track. All moved into the new cabin in the mountains and now I have to stop eating and drinking everything in sight. I can talk myself into it pretty quickly so need some willpower today! Trying to do at least zeros today and tomorrow.

Still in the process of moving. Puppy is doing great! Have slowed down though.. tonight, I am at our cabin -- so there will be cheese, and steak, and wine. Life gets back to normal by this weekend so I'm just going to give myself this time. Next week, back on track. On a positive note, I'm teaching Copper (the pup) to walk…

Stressful week - have ate and drank anything and everything. I'm certain I've gained back those few pounds. We are moving Sunday -- hence the stress... closing on the new house got messed up so we may be homeless as of Wed .. for who knows how long. SOOO... have had probably 3 drinks every night! Foggy week. Oh, and we got…

Robin, sending big hugs your way! Stay positive! Hope you have a good weekend.

It was a good week. Best week in a looonngg time. Mon = 0 Tues = 0 Wed = 1 Thurs = 0 Friday (I am taking myself out for a healthy lunch + one glass of wine). And, to top things off, I just weighed in for the first time in a long time and I'm down 5 pounds from my last check in here. Going to try to keep the moderation up…

What's your favorite sweet or salty snack? Mine is Skinnypop white cheddar popcorn! Just love it! Oh and chocolate, of course.

Okay, I think I can keep my card (but thanks for the inspiration!). Sitting outside after work on the patio, with the breeze blowing and pasta sauce simmering -- and hubby brings out a cold manhattan! Oh boy. I have zero willpower. Went over calories today but only by a bit. Back to 0 tomorrow.

Two days down! Honestly I can't remember the last time I went two days without wine! Feels really good. Monday = 0 Tues = 0 Wed = hopefully another 0 Plan on trying to keep to a Fri / Sat only alcohol.

Had a really focused day! Feels like a Day 1 of a big change. I did my 23 minutes stretching routine (like yoga), and ate really healthy all day. And no wine! Day 1 feels pretty good! Monday = 0

I drink SO much water! Probably 10 cups a day, but at the end of the day, I feel like this is where I struggle the most because there is no "go to" other than water-- except wine!

So here is a question: I am seriously trying to get back on track. Motivated by a friend who stuck to a plan and lost 23 pounds in just a few months. So, when you are not drinking alcohol in the evening - no glass or wine, or whatever - what do you drink? I don't drink soda or juices, so... that's my struggle. I like hot…

Hey all! Hope everyone is having a good week. I overdid it last week so it's been a very tame week so far. We did go for a long hike on the weekend, but exercise has been nil since then as we're at the cabin. Pretty impressed I'm not boozing it up this week while here though (week 2.) Who knew I had such willpower? Monday…

No zeros here this week - at the cabin.

Kate, you're so right.. I know. Easier said than done, right? Gotta avoid the alcohol! Exercise and moderation I can do. There's always tomorrow right? Thanks for the support! Hope the dentist went well! And bourbon is another fav, btw. :)

Well definitely no zeros this week but going to try to get one in next week - even though I'm at the cabin. Keep up the good work you guys! You're inspiring me! On a side note, I rarely go over 1200 calories per day, but yet I'm still not losing a pound. I really do think it's the wine. May have to really do something…

Weekend wasn't too bad, but I opened a bottle of champagne for mimosas and well, you just can't let champagne sit there... so no zero for me yesterday as it was 2 mimosas for me. Friend who is moving invited me for wine tonight so it's a no tonight too. Maybe tomorrow. Thursday is dinner and theatre and then well, then…

Ashley, I tried to do zero at least once this week and still no go! I can so easily talk myself into one glass of wine! I guess it's not TOO bad, right? So now the bottle is open, so one glass tonight and then..well it's Friday. THere's always next Monday. Let's both try to do Monday next week and then check in? I could…

Great job, Robyn! Going for 0 today and tomorrow. Gotta get on a better routine. Was going to go out to dinner, but have now decided to stay in and do this. You know whenever you eat out the calories are there. A friend of mine lost 20 pounds using weight watcher (oh, and she has new invisalign braces that she can only…

Yesterday was GOING to be a zero and then a friend called and I opened a bottle -- I did just pour 1/2 a glass and then went for a walk for an hour (burned nearly 300 cal).. so not feeling TOO guilty, except now there is an open bottle. Gulp...
