Well, this week was a LITTLE better with alcohol control - 14.5 is 1.5 drinks less than last week’s 16. I again went to a party where I accidentally drank 6 drinks! CRAZY! Not necessary! And I wasn’t ever even intoxicated, they were well-spaced.

This next week (Monday-Sunday), I will get to Friday with only 4 drinks MAXIMUM reached. I am going out for drinks Friday evening, but I will have my car, so can only have 2-3, depending on time spent. I think that’s seriously the key to my weight loss. That and continuing to remember to stop eating when I’m no longer hungry. Which, surprisingly, works better when I’ve had fewer drinks!  Today I’m going to buy some more Crysal Light, which is full of artificial, but is a great evening drink when I don’t want more freaking water. So - it’s a plan! Go me!
