"Wine is not that bad for you" - I have been hearing that a lot as of late. I do agree with them - a glass of wine has about the same amount of calories as a beer - and probably less carbs. Actually, I really don't pay attention to it all too much - but the point I am going to make is: Wine is not that bad - until you understand how I drink it :)
I was once told "Sarah, just because you can fit the whole bottle into two glasses, doesn't mean that you are taking it easy!" I laugh at that - because I remember telling a friend that I only had two glasses of wine the night before, so I was "taking it easy." It's true - I don't have the typical wine size glasses - I have these monster glasses that screams 'Sarah Needs a Drink'! Plus wine is sooooooo good - it's hard not to over indulge when you open a bottle ...... or two. Plus - for the record - I have a water bottle that holds a whole bottle of wine perfectly - but that's only when I want to keep it classy!
So this has only happened once - or - ah - maybe twice. I open a bottle of wine with dinner and "I take it easy" I only have 2 glasses. I decide at that time - that I want another glass of wine - but don't want to open another bottle. Will Power! Until I realize that I have Whiskey in the apartment and Whiskey sounds good. I like a good Whiskey drink - I prefer it with Coke or 7up - but at this time - water was going to have to suffice. To my surprise it really wasn't that bad - because I also had some lemon that I added to it.
Long story short - you wake up with a pounding headache when you wash down a bottle of wine with Whiskey. Some would say I have a problem - but I like to think you have a problem when you don't admit it. I fully admit that it is a rare occurrence that don't finish off a bottle of wine when I open it. Hell, if you get my friend Katie and I together - we will just finish off an entire box! (We will sleep in until noon the next day - and despise the thought of moving - but we will do it!)
Honestly - will I stop drinking wine? HECK NO! Will I make it the full 8 weeks - I am guessing not - buttttt now that I got back in the habit of working out in the mornings - it helps in not having a drink during the week - so I guess that is a plus :)
