  • One glass of white wine tonight. Bottle was open and we couldn't let it go to waste! Tomorrow I'm back on the wagon.
  • Wow! Good work @LisaTcan! I don't even think I can tally mine... Sun: 2 beers Mon: 0 Tue: 12 oz beer Wed: 3 glasses wine Thu (Thanksgiving): 6+ Fri: 1.5 glasses wine Sat: 2 glasses wine Soooo like 16? Ack!
  • We went out to wine country yesterday, had about 1.5 glasses of wine total. Got home and considered opening a bottle of wine but we decided against it and stuck to water instead. Who are we?! :smile:
  • Thanksgiving...I basically forgot to count my drinks. Let's see. Boozy coffee in the AM at the football game A break while cooking Champagne starting at 3 pm (2 small glasses) A half glass of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc Some red sparkling wine (it's delish) with dinner A glass of Pinot noir after that So like 5-6 drinks.…
  • Tonight is Cabernet and pizza for us! Still more prepping for thanksgiving to do, but we are shaping up nicely.
  • Fun @elizabethymartin! Enjoy! I am ready to open some wine now (it's 12:45 pm here) because I'm cooking for thanksgiving. I just attempted some mini quiches and they look like GIANT failures. We will see. Not quite shaping up like the picture at all...anyway, we only have 1 bottle ready to go and I really must wait for my…
  • I'm with you. I think everyone just needs to set their own "rules" and do their best to stick to them. I bring a snack to work for the 3 pm sugar craving. Usually an apple and cheese. Today it was some artichoke hearts that I steamed last night (love them). I ignored the treats today. Also, I have been learning to only eat…
  • Haha! I had every intention too. And I got home and my husband bought a large bottle of stout. We are currently sharing it. Oops? At least it's less than a pint and I won't drink after this. Will be done for the night!
  • Oh, I'll throw in the towel, but still try to at least be mindful about it. My goal is to not drink alcohol tonight and then enjoy a bottle of wine with my husband tomorrow while we cook dinner/thanksgiving prep. And then Thursday it's ON like donkey kong. :D Since it's a short week for me I figured I will enjoy the…
  • Fizzy water tonight! I am halfway through my work week...does that mean I can start drinking tomorrow night? o:) I will likely have some wine on Wednesday while we are prepping food for thanksgiving, but will attempt to refrain tomorrow evening...
  • Had 2 beers yesterday :| my boss asked me last minute to a professional sporting event since his wife got sick. So he had an extra ticket. And it was for work (we had 8 tix total) so I went to socialize with the clients. I had less than most of our clients though! A few of them had probably 5 cocktails each. Yikes.
  • For me, I did a pretty good job! Sun: 0 Mon: 0 Tue: 0 Wed: 2 glasses wine Thu: 0 Fri: 2 glasses wine Sat: 1 cocktail, 2 glasses wine Total: 7 o:)
  • Yep. That dehydration. My stomach looks best when I'm hungover. Haha. I had 2 glasses of wine yesterday and was feeling it today. Gosh, I am such a lightweight now!!!
  • Great idea to get a jumpstart instead of waiting until January 1. My goal is to maintain through the holidays. I always gain 5 pounds each year from Halloween to NYE and this is the year that I will maintain instead!
  • Huzzah! That's awesome, congrats! I am enjoying half a bottle of rosé bubbly and my husband is enjoying the other half. I am eating steelhead poke for dinner and some pita chips with spinach & artichoke hummus. Perfect meal for me. I love snacking/grazing as a meal! Very happy it's Friday and looking forward to relaxing on…
  • Happy Friday all! We will probably open a bottle of wine tonight to share and will pick up some groceries from the store. Tomorrow night we have a reservation for one of America's best restaurants right in our own neighborhood. (We are so lucky to live in a foodie Mecca.) Anyway, we have had this reservation for SIX…
  • @LisaTcan I was regularly at about 14 drinks per week, sometimes more. That is a LOT of calories. I am working on getting to about 7 drinks per week instead. It's surprisingly hard - they just add up so quickly.
  • Agreed, @tmbg1! Our work happy hour got canceled as both of our bosses are sick and the guest of honor is quite old and was advised to avoid folks who are sick. She recently fractured her ribs in a fall and can't take the risk of getting a cold/cough because it will hurt her ribs again. Anyway, I'm at home eating leftovers…
  • Tonight I have a work happy hour. My goal is to stick to 1 drink, but 2 drinks is my MAX. I woke up dehydrated at 2 am this morning because of 2 glasses of wine. Really?! Ugh!
  • Woot! That's awesome. Great work.
  • I wined on Wednesday B) We both agreed our frozen leftover chili for dinner wasn't appealing and met at our favorite local Italian joint for happy hour. I had a glass of white, a glass of red, and my beloved truffle oil fettuccine. It's completely delicious. And within walking distance of our home. It can be quite…
  • 10 drinks per week and 2 max per day seems pretty doable to me. Until I count mine up :s
  • Hahah! Nope, it's Tuesday! Enjoying a kale Caesar salad and gnocchi with cauliflower and Gorgonzola. This dinner is rich enough that I don't need to add more calories in the form of wine. Fizzy water it is. Happy Tuesday all.
  • Good for you! Sometimes the baby steps feel like a true accomplishment. Sticking to fizzy water tonight as promised! B)
  • I remembered what I had on Sunday. A mimosa in an attempt to cure a hangover. Did not work. Sun: 1 mimosa at breakfast Mon: 0 Tue: 1 glass rose champagne, 2 glasses red wine (dinner at a friend's) Wed: 2 glasses wine (wine country outing) Thu: 1.5 glasses wine (no excuse) Fri: 1 glass wine Sat: 3 glasses wine TOTAL: 11.5…
  • I've definitely been slipping the last couple weeks. Can feel the holidays approaching and winter coming and I want to just stay inside and enjoy comfort food and wine. Need to get back on track tomorrow with logging and AF school nights. Sun: 0? I can't remember and didn't log :( Mon: 0 Tue: 1 glass rose champagne, 2…
  • Shared a glass of white and a glass of red with my husband, for a total of one full glass tonight. (Told you these friends are light drinkers - in fact, 2 of the 7 total didn't drink at all.) We played a bunch of games and ate a bunch of food and had a blast.
  • Happy Friday! Tonight we have 5 friends coming over (my husband's grad school pals and their spouses, plus one single). They are pretty light drinkers so I don't think we will have more than a couple drinks. Enjoy your weekend, all.
  • I lied. We ended up grabbing pizza and salad for dinner and a bottle of red wine sounded too good to pass up. I did minimal cleaning and ended up sitting on the couch with a glass of wine! I had one glass and poured a second but didn't end up finishing the second glass. So I guess that's a baby step win. Normally the…
  • Tonight is water only! I have a bunch of cleaning to do tonight because we are having some of my husband's grad school cohort over for dinner tomorrow night. And I want to make sure all I have to do is cook on Friday evening! We are making butternut squash enchiladas. So good. There will be no chance to sit on the couch…
