Dammit.
Also, it's taken since Feb, but I'm finally fag free.
Now that I can breathe and won't be adding a gallon of vino reddo onto the intake side of things, losing that 20 kg (sigh, which is still there give or take a few kg depending on the time of the month) will certainly be a lot easier.
Hmm. Are you sure of your figures? That doesn't seem right...
ReplyDeletebut congratulations on the cigaretteless life. Hope you can stay with it, so you can stay with us. (Instead of leaving prematurely. Which smokers tend to do.)
EIGHT standard drinks in a bottle? that's like...at 100 calories a glass...800 calories? oh my god now I know where my bingo wings are coming from...
ReplyDeleteEIGHT POINT THREE!!! And, its soooo buried in the fine print of the label.
ReplyDeleteIf wine makers had the same stringent labelling rules as cigarette companies, like frinstance, Jacobs Creek "Long FAT Red" or Wirra Wirra Chokka Block, they'd never sell a drop of the stuff - well, not to chicks anyway. Well, not young vain ones who still have a snowflake's hope in hell of ever looking like a foetus again.
Certainly not elderly old lushes like me. I only intend to cut back during the week - weekends are still open slather.
Bingo wings - heheh.
I'm looking forward to coming home in the next week or so...I have fond memories of the impossibly HUGE wine glasses they serve you in Oz. BUCKETS, more like it. At least half a bottle in each glass...
ReplyDeletea shame you can't have a smoke though, even on the street tables...
8.3 standard drinks?
ReplyDeleteI'm lowering my standards!
Four standard drinks in the first hour is OK, so I'm told, then a drink per hour for evermore. BUT the heavier you are the more you can drink and stay under the limit! Nudge nudge etc, say no more.
ReplyDeleteBut seriously, from a long-time smoker and a longer time ex-smoker, glad to know you will be around for a lot of drinks yet! Ger donya!
Congrats on the smoking situation. Stafford - you are so wrong with those figures! Plus women aren't supposed to have more than 2 standard drinks a day for health reasons (something I ignore regularly) and 2 alcohol free days a week. I find when I give up drinking (which happens once in a blue moon) that I get really hungry, but I still lose weight because of the huge number of calories in alcohol.
ReplyDeleteScreamish - we call them tuckshop lady arms! But bingo wings is funnier.
ReplyDeletegood to see that you are still alive and kicking. Spewin I didnt have time to perhaps pop up, or down, or where the hell you are located.
ReplyDeletenext time. And as for red wine. Well, it fits neatly into my diet of SEE IT and FKN EAT IT!..one day the metabolism is guuna stop and i'm liable to explode
Congratulations on finally being fag-free (presuming, of course, that your use of "fag" is a slang term for cigarette and not a slur directed at gay males; however, if, in the past, you had problems associated with homosexuals that are now resolved, then I suppose you should be congratulated for that as well).
ReplyDeleteCongrats on dropping the cancer sticks.
ReplyDeleteBut are you certain about the size of a standard drink? I'm not sure!!!
