Big moderation test for me tonight...
I had to run off quickly because the phone was ringing, but I wanted to come back and tell more about the night. I am so proud of myself...
Had only one glass of wine while making the dinners. Told everyone I had my Weight Watcher's Weigh-In tomorrow (today) and didn't want to mess it up by drinking too much. Got my dinners done in record speed, took them home, and picked up a Diet Coke while I was there. Instead of going straight to the bar, I went back to the dinner place and hung out w/the moms who were still making their dinners while I had my Diet Coke. I thought this was a good tactic to delay my second drink. Then, we headed over to the bar and I nursed two more glasses of wine for the rest of the evening and drank about two glasses of water for each glass of wine. When my final wine was finished, I ordered a club soda w/lime. Not very fancy, but that's my fav virgin drink I think. I love lime and I love fizzy. And, no calories is good for my diet. Oh, I almost forgot to mention that while halfway through my last glass of wine, one of the moms started pushing shots. She ordered 'cherry bombs' for the table (I think cherry vodka that you drop in a glass of red bull - seems pretty vile to me anyway!). But, I insisted that she not get one for me because of my weigh-in the next day. I was the only one at the table who did not do one and I felt pretty damn proud of myself.
