Making it to Friday.....

Oh, I definitely TRY.....

 

I do the same thing, buy things during the week but don't dig into them until the weekend. I watch my caloric intake plus work out so I typically don't bust the plan until the weekend. Sometimes, like last night, I will have a beer mid week but for the most part, weekend boozing is the deal.

 

But, slow and steady wins the race.

 

I grab one from the stash and put it in the chiller in the morning. Sometimes random, sometimes I think about it. Then I can think about looking forward to it during the day. Weekends...varies. Sometimes (gasp) none. Depends on what is going on. Often times the weekend is when I shop.

 

I tried to limit myself to weekend drinking for the longest time, then gave up for a while and would grab a beer or two on random weekday nights whenever I felt like. I recently got back into holding off until the weekend and, honestly, those Friday night beers taste twice as good as they used to.

 

So glad I found this thread on this topic! I am the exact same way. I'm conscious about my health and try to eat right and exercise during the week and then do the majority of my drinking on the weekend. It's really cool to hear about other people doing the same thing!

 

I already have way more beer than I can comfortably drink, if I waited till the weekend to drink my problem would be even worse. So as it stands I'll usually have a beer or two every evening unless life gets in the way.

 

I visit the local beer store on Friday and stock up for the weekend. So I usually cant wait for Friday to get here!!

 

It sucks cuz the place I get my beer from gets deliveries on Tuesdays. So, I usually buy my beer on Tuesday and then have to wait until Friday to drink it. It sucks so bad! haha

 

If I buy a new beer I'll usually have one that night with dinner (assuming it's a 4/6 pack). If it's a bomber then it's probably a special beer so I'll put it in the cellar and hold off drinking it until I'm in the mood for a cellar offering (which is usually on a weekend, so my selection could be it or something else).

 

I usually buy on Thursdays to avoid the Friday rush. Thursday night I decide what to put on ice for Friday/Saturday and that stuff is nice and cold as soon as I arrive home.

 

I tend to stock up midweek (local shop get deliveries on Wednesdays). In the colder months I do my best to stick to the weekends for enjoying my purchases since I'm less active. During the summer, when I'm biking 100miles+ a week, all bets are off

 

I've been doing this for some time now (not counting vacations), and I found it gets easier the more I get used to it. Agree that it makes the weekends something more special.

 

Everything you just said is true for me, right down to the beer last night.

 

This thread rocks, as I'm struggling right now with the same thing. The holidays were bad for me ( or good in that I drank a lot) but now I'm trying to improve my health a bit. I try to limit myself to 1 weekday night and 1 weekend night, but its so tough when my fridge is full of delicious offerings!

 

I do not wait until the weekend. I drink pretty much the same thing on a Tuesday as I would on a Saturday.

 

I'll typically hold off Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. Have a couple at Trivia on Thursday. And I very much look forward to my post-work browsing/shopping sessions on Friday. Followed by a post-work, post-browsing drinking session.

 

I always do this! to help save money, And because I workout a lot during the week. Also this week I have some help. The Brewery I was going to head to for some beer is roughly a half hour away but thousands of ft higher in elevation, and its snowing 3 inches here.......Not sure what they're getting but i'm to lazy to chain up my SUV

 

I'm in the same exact boat... including caving in to having a beer last night, haha.
