Re: I feel terrible.. but I will prevail
All that will do is stall your weight loss for a few days, not stop it. It's not a horrible mistake, and you don't have to start over or anything. Your body will burn the alcohol, not the fat, for a little while.
I think if you work out pretty good today and tomorrow you might get the alcohol out of your system faster.
Just move along, don't beat yourself up over it!Jackie - Misplaced Missouri Girl, now in fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada!

Re: I feel terrible.. but I will prevail
I have a couple of Grey Goose Martinis a week but always work out later on. I have not had any stalls. It has been a consistent 4-5 lbs a week. I may be unique in that sense. Look at it this way, better liquor than a milk shake! Good luck.bigROB

Re: I feel terrible.. but I will prevail
Thank everyone for the encouragement.. it really does help... unfortunately this morning i stepped on the scale and had a two pound gain.. but I am not gonna beat myself up over it... I know it happens.... but for better measures I am gonna walk to and from work today ( its a brisk 20 min walk each way) in stead of drive.....
Just wanted to say thanks again for the encouragement.. that is what I like about this site.. everyone is here for everyone!!!! Cheers!!!Comment
