Have a good day, today, Bizi!

Good work on the weight loss, Bizi.

The trip will workout. You are accomplishing good things.

You're sticking to your plan of only drinking on the weekends, and no D/D… that's awesome!

Congrats on the weight loss! :)
Do you think stopping the midweek drinking helped at all?

I think I would worry about the trip at times too, and get butterflies in my stomach from excitement! I'm glad you're being vigilant about your BP sx.

You're doing great Bizi! :):):)

thanks kay!

Had sustainably farm raised off of florida coast lemon pepper talapia, fresh steamed brussel sprouts and a bean and rice dish for dinner with my friend.
She kind of judges me about my drinking.
I speak of my moderation plans working.
In the past, She has called me an alcoholic to her daughter who told me that. That kind of hurt. I told her daughter that I was not an alcoholic but had issues.
sigh
anyway....
This makes me watch especially what I drink when I am around her. I guess that is not a bad thing.

While I'm sure your friend is only concerned about you, it's a shame she said that to her daughter and I'm sure that was very hurtful to hear :hug::hug::hug:
I can understand why you would watch your drinking in front of her.

I think this is a good plan for you since your objective is to control your drinking better, not abstain :)

2.5 beers tonight.
how I figure in the half a beer is this way:
the 2 beers are in 14oz glasses so more than a normal 12 oz. plus they are a bit more alcohol content. So I call it 2.5 beers.

just in case you thought that I was leaving half a beer!:eek:
