talked my dh into dinner out this evening. gorgeous weather, (lovely low humidity here in idaho), sat out on the patio and the malbec was outstanding (oh dinner was good too) so, i am more relaxed than yesterday, when i was whining that i missed out on something to drink. i just have to be good a couple more days. i can do…

well, i was successful at resisting today. i had indulged earlier today and knew i would be close or over my calories by the end of the day; so when my dh offered to pour me "a little something" since he was having a drink, i actually said no. the sad part is i have now spent hours wishing i had saved those calories and…

aaaaaahhhhhhh! i am sitting and enjoying a good cup of coffee and a glass of special reserve port. :heart: :heart: can you spell contentment. just enjoying the flavors.:tongue: cheers everyone and happy weekend. enjoy your beverages of choice (monday is still far away):drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

tameka, good for you if you can make it work. there isn't enough gum in the world to keep me content for that many days of liquid only. i had extra calories after dinner last night. and briefly toyed with the idea of some red wine (or even a special port that the dh bought for me) but i had said i would abstain for a few…

well- my wine buddy & i did it up right on monday. we had a reason too though. my dh found out that he has a new job and we will be leaving boise. we are relocating to lincoln, nebraska in august. the job is a great step up for him, he's earned and deserves it. but i am sure going to miss friends here (and the mountains &…

well- my thoughts to be good this week are taking a big dip. we have good friends coming over tomorrow for the evening (& this is the gal i like to drink lots of good wine with when we get together). and we are going to have a strong reason to be sharing more than a few tomorrow. so, when i realized this was coming, i…

iguanaliz, i will have to look back up the recipe, but it is delicious and an absolutely gorgeous christmas red color. i went and bought some fancy round bottom-long necked bottles. really looked pretty & festive. i still have some cranberry liqueur (trying to ration as it is high in calories). i'll pass the recipe on when…

oh how i miss indulging my "inner lush". hello and cheers fellow drinkers :drinker: i love alcohol. wine, mixed drinks, beer- doesn't much matter, they are all good & tasty.:love: i miss getting together with a good friend and knocking off a couple of bottles of wine in an evening together. i have been dieting just about…

here's a recipe from taste of home- a new way to do meat loaves, be aware there is less meat than usual- that's why you want to crumble the beef over the mix. but we found it totally satisfying. and how smart to make 8 small loaves to start, then you do not have to guess on portion size after they've cooked. -and with 200…

i have two current favorites- remember the old red plaid better homes & gardens large binder cookbook? well, they have one called- "eat well, lose weight". i found it and bought it when i started dieting last august. the recipes are great (haven't found a bad one yet and i've made many, cause i need variety to keep from…

hey there- i lost you "may day weight loss" folks for a few days (honestly, i haven't been on much except logging food) but now that i have found you i will be checking in for the new challenge. i will post last week's start tonight & try to weigh in tomorrow with the first week's results May 3: 190.6 May 10: May 17: May…

it can feel very rewarding to start seeing clothes fit poorly. but it will take a while. :flowerforyou: have patience. (a good investment is a webbed belt- no holes, so it can stretch & be used at any length) i actually bought mine in the men's department, they didn't have any for women. Just this week i walked out of the…

love my water aerobics 3 times a week. i get a fairly high calorie burn in an hour (but then i was really heavy when i started 8 mos ago.) then i do a combination: elliptical, stationary bike & weight training the other 3 (or 4) days for 1 to 1/2 hours. at home- wii fit or wii just dance are fun & keep me moving. or just a…
