Let's talk BOOZE!

6 days to vacation

3 days to the end of my DB4. Not looking good. Despite my unflagging effort of the past couple of weeks, I'm having trouble getting over my slow start, and this last week my weight has been up one day, down the next. Wierd. Today was an up day, so maybe a big down tomorrow. We shall see.

To the topic of my post. My go-to drink has always been rum and diet. I have given up aspartame, and now I really don't like the way it makes me feel. I've switched to red wine, but that's not delicous on a hot day. So, what to drink on vacation (because I will drink) that will be kind to my calorie count? Thoughts? Suggestions?

Milestone check-in:

5/5 meal plans

11/34 (13) workouts - just scheduled the rest of them

19/34 (3) days eating well (just pre-tracked the rest of them :-)

I like way too many varieties of booze. I like a sweet sparkling Moscato (I never used to like wine until this past year). I like light beer, I like vodka martinis, fruit flavored martinis. I like lots of mixed drinks with different type of booze that are not so light with all the juices or syrups mixed in also. I have been mostly abstaining from booze during my dietbets. It has really helped. I like just about any kind of booze, but have only had it maybe twice since joining my first DB at the end of Thanksgiving. My weight going up the next day was enough to discourage me from drinking for awhile. I think clear liquors like Vodka and Rum with maybe a touch of fruit juice wouldn't be too bad calorie wise. Or some light beers are only 96 calories per drink.

Oh yaaaaah do they have Coke Zero where you are? No aspartame and you can have your rum and coke back. Personally I'd go for Jack Daniels, just as sweet but way more tasty!

My go-to is a vodka martini. Maximum booze for minimum calories, but is mostly just for sipping. Light beer might be the most pleasant for drinking with a meal.

I tried out tequila on the rocks in a highball glass with water and lime this afternoon - pretty good!
