Sept 15-21 Booze Free for sure this time

  • Well I did not make it without wine, had a bad day last Friday, and yesterday we went to the state fair where DH and I had some wine samplers.

    Well I am determined though if all I slipped up in three weeks time was these two baby days I did ok.

    I did gain a pound and am really baffled as to why the wine on friday I had the points and my WI was is on Sunday morn. I hope it was just an over abundance of water.

    How did the rest of you do?
  • I managed a booze free weekend this weekend and am going to do it again next weekend. I liked that I had extra calories to eat instead of drinking them. I bet my liver is happier with me today also.
  • Great job ghost!

    I did great for almost three weeks then it seemed like overnight bam! too much on Friday and really not much on Sunday since they were tasters but still...
  • nancy, how ya doin? i had ONE glass of wine last night. was proud of myself.
  • I'm still booze free! Wow, sometimes I surprise myself considering how much I love wine.
  • jmm great job and great control! I was not so good but I am ready to get back on track it always seems to take me a bit


    so no wine in the house. Long days at work for the next 10 days so if I miss posting you know where I am at

    ghost--give yourself a pat on the back from me! this is wonderful --- soon you will be able to say to all of us...it was easy if I could do it so can you LOL
  • Hello all. I didn't drink last weekend which was a long weekend, and the weekend is upon me again. I don't really have any desire to drink either. Work has been stressful and the only way I can ease the stress is by knuckling down and doing some work. I went to Poker on Tuesday and didn't drink, each week it is easier to not drink at poker. Makes me wonder why I always felt that I "needed" to drink.
  • Great job dubh! give yourself a huge hug and pat on the back


    wish I could have said the same for my week but this was one of those times when I have no one to blame but me...I drank on four different nights...but since this is the start of a new week which I will post a new thread I am ready to start again
  • Hi all, I just went to this weeks thread and it is closed. Did you close it Nancy? Is everything okay?
  • sorry dubh, I closed it by mistake LOL darn that blonde in me (I am a red head but need to blame it somewhere)

    I am ok just working some long intense hours this week which is really making it a challenge to eat right and stay on track. But I have not been tempted to drink ... well at least not since this weekend. I was so shocked when I looked at my food journal and saw that I drank 4 nights out of 7 last week. I was really out of control. but I did loose .5 pounds somehow...guess it was the no food and only alchohol?

    Will you start the thread? I so very much need to catch up with those who want to know LOL
  • I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm ending my No booze til NYE challenge. I've thought a lot about my eating/drinking habits, and alcohol is not an issue. I drink maybe once a month and nothing more, so to cut out my once a month guilty pleasure (red wine at book club mtg or dinner with friends) doesnt make sense FOR ME. Good luck to everyone continuing the challege!
