One of the changes I've just made.. or commitments.. is cutting out the vino. I was drinking too much at night, leading to binges...everytime. I couldn't drink a glass or two of wine without eating.
So.. for now.. no more vino, unless an occasion absolutely demands it.. in which case, i do still always have a choice of sparkling water instead.
What a great post. Funny as ever, I like the message. Sometimes I live this healthy-living lifestyle like a dictator. I have given up many times when I could have had fun and may have "cheated" a little. I wanted to let loose for one night but my brain would say "NO!" Thanks for reassuring me that it is ok to let go once in awhile (as long as I keep it in check.)
BTW, the robes are super sexy! (no, for real, I LOVE animal print)
Any time I drink and have the urge to eat, I do housework instead...even if it's in someone else's house. I figure I'm not going to remember it in the morning either way.
O.K.- instead of trying to come up with something just as clever... I will just tell you that I really needed this the morning/afternoon.
This weekend, my wife and I had some friends come over for dinner. Of course, my friend, being the good friend that he is, brought a 12 pack of Sierra Nevada with him. I already had about 5 Abita beers in the fridge and we went a little off the reservation... including the steaks.
Well, I woke up Sun morning feeling a little regretful... and not in a "I called who" kinda way. I just over indulged in food an drink. Of course alcohol has a way of making you a little depressed anyway and I felt not so great all day Sunday.
But the moral of the story is.... hop back up on the horse... get moving and stay on that trail!!
I wouldn't want a life without putting my party on once in awhile. I want my cake and eat it too. I want to be able to enjoy ice cream with the kids every once in awhile. BALANCE is the key word.
You crack me up. And I don't even believe in riding the wagon, I just walk. I got tired of the damn thing throwing me off and then running me over. The great thing about being off the wagon is that I decide when I want to go and stop. I find that I go more often than not.
Those robes are bomb! My advice when drinking is to dance as much as possible to burn off all the empty calories. That's what I do, and it seems to work pretty well.
Love it. Cutting loose every once in a while is fine - I personally think it makes life worth living. Making sure the wagon doesn't get too far ahead is the key.
And I love the robes. Maybe you should drink and shop more often!!! :)
Hi Jack. Wow! I love your robes! Masculine and yet a little trannified at the same time. Just the look the Bear goes for actually. You've got style sir!
The BIG question is: What are you wearing underneath the sexy robes? The Bear favours lace panties, suspender belt and stockings ...
Im not a drinker anymore..i used to go out at night, and drink, and then be hungry after. I always thought it was because I was drunk. Now, I go out at night, don’t drink, and I'm hungry after. I think it's just the activity of going out and walking around and possibly dancing, etc that makes ppl hungry, not the alcohol itself. Although drinking can cause people to make poor food choices afterward in an effort to sop up that alcohol (and as a result of deadened taste buds), when they might have eaten something better sober. And the robes..hmm..
Ahaha love the robes. And I agree. :)
ReplyDeleteWait, you drank tequila w/o me...
ReplyDeleteSecond, I think you're totally right.
Even Hugh Hefner would be jealous of those robes.
ReplyDeleteVery well "said"!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this post! I mean, really love it. :) As a fellow drunk robe purchaser that is...

love the robes, you nut.
wait.. the tequila and Cap'n Morgan bottles are still full, aren't they?? :)
ReplyDeleteNow I know how to track you down. Hotel Monaco or Hotel Palomar - fess up, which one?
ReplyDeleteI have the matching leopard camisole. And the fuzzy socks. Why didn't I think of blogging in these robes?
Say hi to my friend Don Julio!
Love these posts Jacks, they have to be my favorite.
ReplyDeleteHaha. Love the robes, and the message!
ReplyDeleteLOL, those robes look absolutely fabulous on you. puuuuuur.
ReplyDelete"You look maaaaaaavelous" as Billy Crystal would say! :-) BUT, I am still wondering what goes on in that mind of yours! You are too funny!!!!

ReplyDeleteOMGOsh! Sooo funny. You looks so... sexy? in those robes. :)
ReplyDeleteI love this - and I really needed it today. Hilarious! :)
ReplyDeleteROFL! Well! You do look quite fetching in the zebra robe...
ReplyDeleteI fell off my chair(not wagon) just now! Too funny!
ReplyDeleteYou hop back on that wagon now, ya hear!
Any time I drink and have the urge to eat, I do housework instead...even if it's in someone else's house. I figure I'm not going to remember it in the morning either way.
ReplyDeletewow...I think you also shopped in the women's department! lol
ReplyDeleteFor me, drinking always leads to too much food. But not to wearing robes. Or anything else for that matter. ~shudder~
ReplyDeleteI trust that's all you purchased. Tequila is a personality and character eraser that has led to many, um, interesting times in my past.
ReplyDeleteGood advice about drinking and shopping. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe animal prints bring out your inner caveman. Me like.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Jill
I love those robes!! Well said about falling off the wagon.
ReplyDeleteThat was one lucky homeless person.
Hahahahahahahaha.....sooooo funny. You are the best!
ReplyDeleteI think drunk shopping is much better than drunk eating. You can take stuff back to the store, but you can't un-do the eating.
ReplyDeleteO.K.- instead of trying to come up with something just as clever... I will just tell you that I really needed this the morning/afternoon.

Thanks!!! As always, I enjoy the blog!

You are so right on all accounts! I'm using that as my motto... "Don't drink and shop."
ReplyDeleteJust kidding... the other one! "It's okay to fall off the wagon as long as you don't get too far down the road." So very true.
drinking definitely leads me to let my guard down and eat more than i normally would. but you know what, one night won't kill anyone!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't want a life without putting my party on once in awhile. I want my cake and eat it too. I want to be able to enjoy ice cream with the kids every once in awhile. BALANCE is the key word.
ReplyDeleteHahahahahahahahaha...Love it!
ReplyDeleteYou are awesome. Truly. Wonderfully. Awesome.
Great advice as always Jack. As for me, I prefer the kitty print robe.
ReplyDeleteJack,
ReplyDeleteAs good as always. Perhaps you are the robed marauder?
LOL My cats would pick those robes. Maybe. They prefer blue. Honest.
ReplyDeleteCoolest blog post EVER!!!!!!!
ReplyDelete& my my you have a lovely collection of alcohol!

ReplyDeleteYou crack me up. And I don't even believe in riding the wagon, I just walk. I got tired of the damn thing throwing me off and then running me over. The great thing about being off the wagon is that I decide when I want to go and stop. I find that I go more often than not.
ReplyDeleteHA HA HA HA!!! you're awesome!!! Hysterical!
ReplyDeleteThose robes are bomb! My advice when drinking is to dance as much as possible to burn off all the empty calories. That's what I do, and it seems to work pretty well.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the advice. I needed that.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Your robes are sexy.

ReplyDeleteTonight Jack Sh*t I have fallen off the wagon (hic). Captain Morgan has led me astray!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the robes, I've just (hic) ordered 2 online much the same :-) xxx
Love it. Cutting loose every once in a while is fine - I personally think it makes life worth living. Making sure the wagon doesn't get too far ahead is the key.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the robes. Maybe you should drink and shop more often!!! :)
Hilarious with a twist of serious. Make mine dry.
ReplyDeleteI guess you're the leopard that DID change his spots, huh?
I would so let you get to third base in those robes!
ReplyDeleteHoly ----! You crack me the hell up! Where did you find those robes?!?? They are HIDEOUS!
ReplyDeleteLOL...
