I have been a weekend warrior the whole time I was loosing the weight. In other words, I did not drink Mon - Thursday but drank (binge might be a better word for it) Fri-Sun. I have hit a plateau though and have decided to try drinking 1-2 glasses of red wine everyday and the scale started to move again. I am enjoying the wine more because I am not overindulging and I wake up feeling good. I read somewhere that most centenarians have 2-3 glasses of wine everyday. I am in it for the long haul...and the vino...YUMMY! I eat clean & exercise and I have lost 100 pounds doing it. I have been a weekend warrior the whole time I was loosing the weight.

I take such good care of myself usually, and I'm so careful not to put things in my body that is bad for me (preservatives, HFCS, hydrogenated oils, etc.) But I wanna drink every so often. Yes, the occasional 1 drink. But sometimes, I wanna let loose and drink a bunch ( unfortunately for me, I have a very high alcohol tolerance and can easily handle 10 shots of vodka.) If I want 5 shots of vodka ( or 5 vodka sodas with lime) at 65-70 calories each that's 350 calories, replacing more than 1 of my 5 -6 mini meals. Easy, I can still get all my nutrients in for sure. Plus I'll be sure to drink a full 8oz of water between each drink. I also take b complex vitamins and emergenC drink packet before bed and in the morning to help my body combat the damage I've done. With all things considered. That sounds fair. Gotta enjoy life! I just try not to do it once a month. I have the same internal discussion/argument with myself every weekend!

Part of it, for me, may actually be that I am less aware in general if I've had a drink or two, and that lack of awareness includes awareness of my body's signals to me that I'm satisfied.
