I've decided to quit all alcohol for two weeks to see what kind of extra weight I can drop while dieting and working out.
I'm not a regular alcoholic but I'm sure the ocassional glass of wine and beer definitely adds up in calories.
yay... GO ME!!!

" I haven't had any alcohol since my last gain. I think that was over two months ago. Every gain I have had has been when I had wine. I go to wine tasting now and then since I am near wine country. I always seem to buy a bottle instead of just stopping with a taste. I also go to Las Vegas. It's hard not to drink there.

Hubby is off ice cream too.

I find hot cocoa just as relaxing after dinner with some mixed raw nuts. Made buy scratch (I use light soy milk) so I can use stevia to sweeten it. Cocoa is great antioxidants and flavonoids. I double the amount called for a cup of cocoa. It seems to have a lot of health benefits if you make it from scratch. The commercial cocoa mixes takes out all of the healthy flavonoids. "
