I just feel like I'm wasting my time, even though I know it's supposed to be so important. <br /><br />I'm not a good person to ask about drinking, since I don't really like the taste (or calories) of alcohol, so I rarely drink. I don't drink other beverages either - I just love plain old water!Azarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17472061794664458543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994521301199986866.post-73887866806654383782013-01-22T12:59:47.157-08:002013-01-22T12:59:47.157-08:00Haha you are not a lush!

If you are having one drink every night, then I think you are fine. If you are having 3-4 drinks, you might want to cut back. I'm no doctor though. And, as far as losing fat (since I'm a workout addicted crazy person) take it's what it's worth, but it's all about cardio cardio cardio! You can not spot reduce fat on your body by doing ab work, or lifting weights. But, you can burn fat, by doing cardio. Yes, weights is great!! You burn more calories per gram of muscle than fat, so it will help, but if you want to see a big change, do more cardio ;) Oh, and I haven't tallied up your calories, but if you are eating too few calories, then your body goes into starvation mode and will start eating the muscle. Ok, I'll get off my soap box, just some ideas though!Team Harrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00917069105126428150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994521301199986866.post-3215215384664801672013-01-22T12:33:17.208-08:002013-01-22T12:33:17.208-08:00It was perfectly normal (pre-pregnancy) for my hub...It was perfectly normal (pre-pregnancy) for my hubby and I to split a bottle of wine 2 to 3 times a week, at 2 glasses per, each bottle.

It'll be interesting!<br /><br />I think you make a good point - 1 drink/night, 3-4 nights/week is a much better way to think about it! Definitely a difference between enjoying a drink and getting drunk.dspencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03028178955338687090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994521301199986866.post-30845982054200018192013-01-22T11:27:43.580-08:002013-01-22T11:27:43.580-08:00I'm so glad that they helped!

Then pick up again either once we hit CD1 again or the baby is weaned. Either way!dspencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03028178955338687090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994521301199986866.post-48395399426264968102013-01-22T11:26:31.437-08:002013-01-22T11:26:31.437-08:00RIGHT?!

S...Haha, funny about the "lush" comment. Since I track it on my FF log, I've realized that I also indulge quite a bit. I've also realized how much alcohol is a part of my life. Wine, especially. I love good food and good wine. And most of my friends and family do too. So it's weird to be cutting back (after ovulation) and just keeping track. <br /><br />But personally, I think 3-4 (or 4??) is normal. It's not about how often, it's about how much you drink in one sitting. I remember once a friend who doesn't like wine said to me, "I wish I could drink a glass of wine a night, for health reasons." And I thought...hey good! I'm doing something right ;)JustMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02493032821722724778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994521301199986866.post-34649552846791769412013-01-22T10:39:15.600-08:002013-01-22T10:39:15.600-08:00Thank you so much for your kind comments.

Your pre-pregnancy eating log is great!<br /><br />I stopped drinking alcohol a while back my RE recommended it, but I used to have one or two glasses of wine a week on the weekends. I think you're right though - 3-4/week is about average. Wishing you lots of luck.Testhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15417290669973316135noreply@blogger.com
