i love this post for its pure honesty haha! i have days like this and find myself just saying things like "I was lushy this weekend" and always wondering if anyone else drinks a 12 pack and eats a whole pizza every once in a while LOL. Monday= 4 drinks for me, wine with dinner and 3 beers at darts tonight. Hopefully it…

I have a hangover today from splitting a bottle of red AND a bottle of champagne with BF last night. It is really making me sad because I went to spinning this morning and instead of feeling 100% great and accomplished, I just feel guilty. At least I'm babysitting tonight so its an automatic 0 drink day for me. I need it!

Hi everyone :) Just got back from atlantic city yesterday- I won about 320 on a roulette video machine so i was a happy camper! It was a lushy weekend and probably will be all week since it is winter recess and im off from work. However, i got a week pass to the gym near me and i plan on taking a different class every day.…

tarjake, vodka is better than beer carb-wise. Calorie wise, it depends on the beer. Wednesday= 0 drinks :)

Hi everyone! Happy valentines day! :) If you are like me you have been celebrating with lots of wine and champagne ;) I kind of lost track but I think my week was something like this... Monday= 0 drinks Tuesday=1 bud light Wednesday= 2 glasses of wine, 1 bud light Thursday= 2 bud light Friday= 6 bud light (darts with the…

haha! drinking too ;) but that will have to wait a few years....maybe like ten...LOL. Monday=0 drinks Tuesday=1 bud light at Chilis 0 cigarettes going on day three :D

Amy, I absolutely love that advice LOL! Today is day 2! I feel FINE. its actually very strange. I just went out on lunch, ate, drove and now im drinking coffee-and I really am not bothered by it. Not sure why but I am not complaining. Also, Monday=0 drinks. PS- Amy & Soccer- JEALOUS of your delays!! Just rain this morning…

Hi everyone! Happy Monday! Well, today is my first day on my latest cigarette quitting attempt. I know this thread is about alcohol, but for me, the two really go hand-in-hand. Trying to stave off cravings for a cigarette is reason enough for me to have 0 drinks today. Sigh. Why cant all of our vices be good for us?! I was…

Hi lushes! Had a weird week last week-drank everyday but had a light weekend- so it ended up being a pretty average week in all. I dont know how many of you live in NY but it is so miserable here lately! Ice and snow all of the time. I'm feeling cabin fever and the winter blues tremendously. I havent even been trying food…

great post. makes me wish for summer tho! :(

soooo my plan didnt really work :laugh: Wednesday= 4 glasses of wine. Had a nice night with the family though, and basically stayed within my calories for the day so oh well. I always drink on jersey shore night and then its the weekend, so i guess id better get my butt on the elliptical or something. Although the 12…

I decided to try something different this week. Mon and Tues I have had one glass of wine each...its very rare that a bottle gets opened and NOT finished, so this almost seems HARDER to do than just staying away all together! I'm wondering if I treat myself with one single drink a night, if at the end of the week that will…

so last night I was totally set for a "0" day. Got to my BFs, go all snuggly to watch the bachelor when suddenly a glass of red wine appeared in my hand. How thoughtful of him! ;) So of course I drank it hehe.

Happy Monday lushes! I was designated driver to/from last nights football party so I kept my drinking pretty in check. I think I had 7 beers all day, from 2:00 till about 11:00. It sounds like a lot, but all of my friends are big guys who drink a lot so I looked like the angel :laugh: ...and made sure to stop altogether 2…

What a lushy weekend so far... Thursday- jersey shore with the BF- split a bottle of wine but still stayed in my calories because i exercised that day :) Friday- some wine and a few beers, not too bad, but ate a lott of fried tempura sushi and hibatchi rice. yum. Saturday- the worst of the weekend. tried out a new…

I've sort-of fell off with this challenge :( Its 10 days in, and I've only done the DVD 3 times. I finished LV1D3 today. I have been working out on my elliptical in between because the way my house is set up, it is just easier for me to do (the only TV with a DVD player and enough room is in my living room...there are 6…

Wednesday=0 drinks anddd i got up this morning before work to do my Jillian Michaels DVD. I'm not sure how much I like her at 7 AM though :laugh: I'm happy to have a "drying out" day to put the weekend behind me...we'll see about tonight...it is jersey shore after all.....yes I watch it, and yes I'm ashamed :blushing: LOL…

mmm, thanks ryan that sounds great!

UGH is all I have to say about the beginning of this week. Monday was OK, I drank some wine but I also worked out and stayed within my calories. Last night was terrible...went to dinner with BFs family for his birthday and drank about 3 1/2 glasses of wine....then we went out with friends and ended up drinking about 5…

The broccoli stuffed chicken sounds awesome! Do you know of a good recipe?

I wish I could help, but I am in the same rut. I used to be one of those people who really LOVED running...but I live in NY, and I cant be outdoors in the winter (especially this winter-snow EVERYWHERE!) and I really hate it inside. The only thing that seems to help me a little is putting on my workout clothes and being…

hi everyone! i've been on a pretty bad streak since two fridays ago....i think in about two weeks i had maybe 3-4 non drinking days. spent the weekend in NYC for my BFs 25th birthday so that was a very lushy/foodie couple of days!! hopefully ill be back on track this week. jojo, i was reading your posts about two weeks in…

Hello lushes :) Well last week was a pretty good week for me. 0 drinks Mon-Thurs and I did OK over the weekend as well. Hopefully I can stick to this plan for this week but I'm going to have dinner with my high school girlfriends tonight...so that is going to be a touch one!!

I just started this today and searched the boards to see what everyone was saying about it and found this thread! Pretty cool!! I like the DVD but I didn't sweat as much as I thought I would...not as much as 20 minutes on the elliptical makes me sweat...but then again, my legs feel like jello and my arms are burning and I…

Hi everyone! Well yesterday was day 4 of zero drinks for me! Its the longest I have gone without having at least one drink in a while :) I've been drinking seltzer and lime like crazy- I find it's a good substitute!

Monday=0 drinks Tuesday=0 drinks Yay :) Unfortunately I have a cold so I still feel crappy! Good luck to everyone with their days off! I have a wedding Friday night about 35 miles from my house...BF volunteered to DD but I think ill do it with him...it will be a difficult challenge to stay sober through an entire wedding…

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a great holiday! My friend came over with her brand new baby on NYE-sooo cute! I was so infatuated with her I barely drank (so you know she's a cutie haha) Unfortunately last night was my BFs work holiday party (aka free top shelf drinks for 3 hours) UGH did I have a hangover today! It will be…

I have set my own quit date for Feb 7th this year...one thing I am planning on using to help with the oral fixation is weight watchers fruities. You can get them at any meeting place (dont have to be a member). They are sugar free, come in a little tiny box that opens the same way a pack of cigarettes does, and are only…

Hi Nancy! I like to workout in the AM before work two-three days a week. I find that if I don't do it before my crazy day gets started, I don't do it at all. Also, I aim for a certain number of minutes every week instead of workouts. This helps me because I can mix it up based on how my week is going: 2 workouts of 30…

Hello everyone, I'm in a fabulous mood today-its my weigh in and I've lost another pound! yay :) Also Tuesday=0 drinks Hope everyone else is having a great week so far!!
