  • Nice! My sister in law is That Girl and it can be really frustrating/envy inducing. I feel like I don't measure up at all. But I know it's all in my own head.

  • My weekends are always a hot mess too! I am on point throughout the week but we see friends on the weekend and a lot of amazing food (and good booze) gets consumed. I have to figure out how to balance my social life with my calorie counting.

  • Yay Rose! Looking great!
  • So far so good this week! I went to dinner tonight and didn't order a drink. It felt really weird :D but I'm staying strong.
  • Is anyone still around? I'm climbing back onto the wagon. Well, after I reassemble it. I sold it for parts :p I'm having oral surgery on Thursday so I don't plan to drink again until April 8. Wish me luck.
  • I'm hanging in there! Wanted happy hour tonight but skipped it. Ignoring the cold white in fridge. Going to get in the bathtub so I can't hit up the kitchen :D
  • I've fallen off the wagon! And everyone else is suspiciously quiet...where are you all?
  • Enjoying a glass of wine on Wednesday :) finishing the bottle we opened yesterday. So just 1 glass each again today.
  • Well, Vegas sucked. Apparently we are not Vegas people and also our friends (the whole point of going) bailed super early and we were stuck there until Monday night. Didn't drink yesterday at all. Mostly moped about the fact we were stuck in Vegas. Tonight I'm having a glass of wine - our pasta recipe called for white and…
  • Went to a book release party last night. 2 glasses of wine. It was cold and rainy, so I deserved a treat for not staying home :)
  • Now that I started eating carbs again today I was surprisingly not craving wine instead. Body seems happier with some rice and some cornbread today :)
  • That's only 6! Not bad! :)
  • Sorry to hear you're having a tough day, @TriniDiva_PA! Sometimes you just need a drink. Hope you have sunny skies soon. xo
  • Oooops. Two glasses of wine tonight. I realized that south beach diet is really tough for me. I eat a lot of carbs normally and I am feeling really deprived right now. I can either cut carbs OR cut alcohol. But not both for very long. (And I know that alcohol counts as carbs! Or something...) Stuck to my protein, dairy and…
  • Haha @elizabethymartin! Stuck to water tonight, and I had ballet class for the first time in about...18 months? My muscles will be killing me tomorrow!
  • Could have been better. Friday was my work holiday party and afterward my husband and I went out for another drink. Oops. Sun - 1 Mon - 0 Tue - 0 Wed - 0 Thu - 1 Fri - 5 Sat - 1 Total - 8
  • Well crap. Went to the meeting and they had a cote du rhone tasting. I didn't finish all of my tastings because a couple I didn't care for. I'd say I had about a glass of wine.
  • @elizabethymartin I belong to a private social club and joined the food & wine committee last year. So far I just go and listen...we did have a blind Riesling tasting once and that was fun.
  • @elizabethymartin hi friend! Doing well so far, AF since Monday. Tonight I have a food & wine committee meeting and must resist getting a glass of wine...I might treat myself to a sparkling water :) Tomorrow is my work party so I will eat and drink a bunch and then be back on the South Beach wagon until next Saturday. I…
  • OMG @dbanks80 tell me all about it! I haven't been to Vegas as an adult and besides one brunch and a Cirque show we don't have any plans yet. We are staying at the Aria. What did you love and what was worth skipping? All tips welcome!
  • Was well behaved last night, stuck to sparkling water. I had a very brief wine craving that soon passed.
  • I love our wine clubs too! We belong to 2 different ones and like going wine tasting once every couple months or so. We have a stash of about 30 bottles at any given time. I stopped drinking alcohol (mostly) on "school nights" back in August/September, unless we are out socializing. If you guys want to join a group, check…
  • Back on the wagon! AF tonight until Friday.
  • @elizabethymartin HAH! No way. Vegas is like 50 degrees and I don't wear skimpy outfits anyway o:) but we are seeing friends we haven't seen in 2 years and the wife is looking super slim and toned. Just don't want to look like a huge cow next to her. Maybe just a baby cow.
  • Hi! I had a glass of wine last night. Today starts South Beach Diet phase 1 - only for 12 days, in our run up to Las Vegas. We leave next Saturday. And then I'll be back to watching portions like usual. The low carb thing is the quickest way for me to slim down in a hurry. I need a jump start after all the fun I had this…
  • Well...I was well behaved at the dentist last night and passed on the wine offered...and then I went to dinner with my husband afterward and had 2 drinks. Glass of champagne and a glass of white wine. Drat!
  • Was so close to opening a cold bottle of delicious dry Riesling tonight, but we talked ourselves out of it. Yay! 2 more days before vacation, hoping to stay strong until then.
  • Stuck to water last night...I really should buckle down for the next 3 days before we take a mini vacation with friends from Dec 31-Jan 3, but I don't wanna!!!! :s We will see how I do these next 3 days. It's definitely hard to go back to not drinking once you've been enjoying libations for the past 5 days in a row.
