how about drinking?

I'm going on vacation in one week and am trying to drop 5 pounds by next Thursday, seeing as that's about how much I'll gain on vacation. I usually have a drink (beer, wine, cocktail) every night, two or three on the weekends. I can maybe drop 3-5 pounds if I stop drinking for the week. Or I could literally starve myself, have a drink and maybe lose 2-3. Shoot I hate being fat!! I don't even eat that much anymore.

Thanks Shel. My DH and I have a bet. He says he can lose 15 before vacation, I'm to lose 5. We were to eat salads and have no alcohol for a week, but he's already blown it, two beers today. I'm still being good. Never challenge me. I'll be so PO'd if he winds up losing his weight anyway.

Thanks, Janis. I'll need it.0 -
Lini, you can do it!!! Oh, how I love to be challenged by men and how I love winning that challenge!
Good luck - you can do it! We'll drink for you, okay? 
Whatever it takes to help you win! 0 -
You drink for me Janis. I'll go for anything at this point, but I do love to beat a man. So I am up for the challenge. Thanks for the encouragement!

We'll be your support! And when you win you can drink as much as you want! So, you go on the wagon for a while. No big deal. We've all taken a ride - and we've all fallen off for a very good reason! Go Lini, go Lini! 0

Hey ladies - I'm back from the lake. We had a blast. Had my LAST CHEMO today!!! Yippee! I'm done with Rads & Chemo now...on to life with no active tx...since I'm a triple neg girl! Keeping my fingers crossed and jumping back into life with both feet, once I get past the "icks" of this chemo tx. Hope you all missed me so! I know I missed all of you on the boards!
Donna, you bad, bad girl! Sounded like a BLAST!!!

Hi Marla,
I don't think that we've exchanged posts yet (met?), but I'm not very good at keeping names straight. Either way, I know I'm going to like you. You came to the "how about drinking?" forum to say that you're back, right? Happy that you had your last chemo today. Another bridge crossed. I bet that you were missed. You sound like a BLAST!!!

Thanks Lini...I don't think that we have posted directly, but I know your posts...have seen them. I was gone for a loooong, much needed weekend!

Is drinking everyday bad for the health?

Can it be any worse than popping pills?

Good comeback!
I say as long as you don't drink enough to pass out then it's okay.
Welcome back Marla and congrats on finishing chemo! Yea! 0 -

Lini good luck, if i stopped drinking for a week i bet i would drop 10lbs, what does that say about my drinking.
Donna you keep having fun girl..........can't wait to hear what your next adventure is
RAndi0 -
It says you are fun and like to have a good time!!!
The only reason I'm not drinking this week and want to lose some poundage is because once we're on vacation it's bloody marys in am, beer during the day, and cocktail hour(s) in the pm. Oh my, then there's an extra 10 lbs. when I return. LOL!!0 -
snoring huh?...........it's always fun to plug his nose during the wee hours of the night when you're awake because of "him" lol!

Ahhh, can't do that. He has to get up and go to work so I can have my health insurance. I can nap later.
0 -
lol........what is a nap?????? ha ha! haven't had one since kindergarten!!!!
hey lini, maybe i missed it but where are ya goin on vacation.......i'm travelling vicariously through you and i looooove to travel!0 -
Yosemite next week. I really don't get to travel much. I have two kids in college and another that plays club soccer, so most of the money goes to them.
I have treated myself to a nap almost every day since my dx. One of the things that I do for myself now.0 -
I love naps and look forward to six weeks of them starting on August 16 when I have my full hysterectomy. naps, wine, swimming after the doc oks that.

Hey there ladies - haven't written for awhile - been going thru HELL!
Last chemo treatment blew a vein and now have phlebitis! Ended up in emergency for 16 hours before they sent me home. 
Have to give myself injections for the next six weeks and I hate needles! 
Couldn't have chemo this a.m. because of the phlebitis. Having a port-a-cath installed next week! 
Does it get any worse than this!!!!??
Tonight, celebrated this bullsh*t with a marguerita! YUM! Was going to have another but DH keeps watching me like a hawk! Think I'm going to become a closet drinker!
And talk about naps my day starts at 8H00 and by 11H30, I'm going down hill!!! This just sucks! Oh, I hear DH snoring - think I'll have a nightcap!
Nite nite ladies!0 -
My DH watches me like a hawk also, only it's not the drinking. It's everything. Be careful, don't fall, get out of the sun, watch out, etc. etc.
Sorry about your phlebitis. That sucks!!! Hate that word, but it seems like I've been using it more lately.
Enjoy the nightcap!!
