You must be really pleased. You are doing really well. I'm thinking the scale is going to be really kind to you at your next weigh-in.

All I know WebRover is Angie is really pleased I'm not sure about this weight thing....it really doesn't seem to be making a difference...and it should be! Dang....

Nothing but coffee, water and Coke 0 again today!

= A 2 beer or less day

EVERY 5 's =

10 days.....3 beers

~

Wow Gary that's really good. 3 beers in 10 days.

Keep it up.

GOOD JOB, GARY!

I love that beer for my horses song... but you're right... I Love This Bar is even better... and I Wanna Talk About Me is another Toby Keith fave

I tend to stick with Bacardi and Diet Coke while drinking (or Captain Morgan Coconut Rum and Diet Coke) and since I do not drink very often, I can get buzzed with around 4 or 5 drinks (perfectly tipsy with no hangover, wahoo!) I am not much of a beer drinker personally... to me, the taste is only "ok" and I usually see it as empty calories... BUT... Beck's light beer is a good deal with only 64 calories a bottle... what's your fave?

Thanks BIG BIRD!

Thanks SHANE! Good to see you As far as my favorites...I am pretty "domestic" I like MGD and Budweiser home watching TV and scratchin' ....Corona and Pacifico with Mexican food....Birra Moretti and Peroni with Italian.....Stone IPA and Karl Strauss Amber Lager

Well I have finished the treadmill...I used to jump on after work beer in hand...finished dinner...I had water....COKE 0 went with me as Angie and I did a "look at a house for sale for the son/daughter in law"...and another COKE 0 right now...no beer tonight! My garage fridge is feeling lonely

Thanks for all the support It means so much to me!

11 days.....3 beers

Been mixing drinks since I got home from work...........

Coke 0 ~ Diet Pepsi ~ Diet A&W ~ on a Diet Coke right now....

how much of this stuff is in the fridge anyway?

12 days........3 beers

Gary you must be so fed up drinking Coke 0.

Have you tried Crystal Light? The wee packets are good. I like the tea flavours.

The light Cranberry juice is good half'n half with water, lots of ice.

The fridge just keeps replenishing it self with diet soda, it must be that soda fairy.

HA! BIG BIRD ~ Yep I am getting a little tired of this soda....been years since I drank soda like this. Used to have a Dr. Pepper problem!

The Crystal Light is a good idea, we actually have some in the pantry, nephew drinks it from time to time, I will have to try it or maybe some of Angie's sun tea.

We have tons of soda...there was a great sale last week-end, bought loads of it for the BBQ's here, seems my entire family each drinks a different flavor! oh, and the beer drinkers each have their "own" too...

what ever happened to the days we all drank Bud or Coors and Coke or Pepsi?

Well I spent the evening with my daughter for her 25th birthday at dinner and a play...had one beer with my lasagna and a sip of wine from Angie's glass!

13 days.......4 beers

Well it has been 14 days now since I decided to make better choices on my beer consumption. I think I have done rather well I had got myself up to 4-6 beers a day during the week and a 6 pack or more on the week-end. Not a good thing for my "journey of better choices" or my liver!

I didn't make the commitment to give up drinking all together, just trying to get to the point of being sensible...which many of you know is just not me

For me it is a bad habit ...if I don't grab a beer first thing every night when I get home I am OK...if I do then I usually end up in the "more I drink....the MORE I drink" mode.

I quit for 18 years once...didn't have a problem...started about 5 years ago, I really don't remember exactly, having a beer every now and then...then I built up to see above. Which isn't good

Not sure if my new plan will work. So far it has gone exactly like I want it to! I have had 1 beer after a hard day at work ~ 1 beer on the 4th of July ~ 1 beer with pizza watching the UFC fights and 1 beer at dinner for my daughter's birthday....

That is how it should be...for me...Not sure if it will continue...not making any promises...but after 2 weeks...and I know it is only 2 weeks...I am pleased!

Oh and so is ANGIE ...although, honestly, she never says much about it one way or the other to me...but sometimes I could just tell she wasn't too happy

She has been smiling at me a lot lately though

It was nothing but Crystal Light...punch...yesterday! Thanks for the suggestion CLYDEGIRL and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Thanks for the support from ALL of YOU!!

14 days.......4 beers...

Gary you sound a lot like my hubs.

He got into the habit of drinking a beer as soon as he got home from work and one led to another.

A month ago his doc put him on Lipitor and he had to stop. I know he misses having a beer after work but so far so good. He will have one a week now.

I'm glad the crystal light worked.

You're doing great keep it up.

Thank you once again for the birthday wishes. I need to make good choices when we go out to eat.

Gary - you are doing GREAT! So proud of you! And with a momentous birthday celebration too. Mindful drinking - something we ALL should practice. I love the new happy dancers too

Oh I've found my people. While I'd likely lose quicker giving up the booze and just isn't going to happen!
I do only drink 1-2 days a week but need to cut back on those days - calorie wise not problem wise ;-)

I do find drinking a "better" beer helps me not drink as much - but this is just me. Like diets it's not one size fits all. I have a friend like you Gary - if he's drinking he's drinking. Doesn't matter if it's a 12 pack of watered down crap or a 12 pack of Guiness. He found that by starting later in the day he drank less!

Have fun and enjoy your win today

Me too!

That might work for me but I can't stay up past 10

THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT

As I watch Big Brother here I am drinking Crystal Light...punch flavor, have been all day long, once the coffee was over with. This is the third Sunday in a row I didn't have a beer. Been a long time since that happened! June 29th - July 13th... 15 days down...so far so good


15 days......4 beers
