100d x 10m = 1 strong core (Page 19)

Originally posted by switch Just a friendly little suggestion to everyone to knock out your core chit early in the a.m. tomorrow.  Not that anyone in this group is gonna party or anything, just sayin

Yes mom!   That brings up a good question.  One of the members at my class last night asked me if I refrain from drinking because I train so much.  For me the answer is that I'm a total lightweight so I don't usually do more than 1-2 glasses of wine at a time.  And only on Saturdays because Sunday is my rest day.  And not for a few weeks or so (or especially the day before) if I have a big race coming up.  Drinking just always leaves me feeling a little off the next day.

How about you guys?  Do you drink and party?  Keep it clean and refrain?  Somewhere in between?  Will you be hitting it hard over this long holiday weekend and regretting it on Monday?

I am a total lightweight, cannot handle much alcohol at all.  A very rare glass of wine for maybe an anniversary dinner or holiday.

Chris, I am soooooooooooo sorry, but it had to be done!

Kirsten, you are too much, that is a hoot! I may have to use that somewhere...

I like to drink.  I'm usually a few beers or whiskeys a day kinda girl.  Some days it's none. Some days it's a few more.  I've been doing that for a while, so I don't really notice any sort of "off" feeling the next day.  I have noticed that I have started to keep track more carefully if I have a big day the next day.  Maybe I'm growing up a bit.

I must have a pretty decent tolerance, as I could not tell you the last time I was lit--edge off, yes.  Drunk? Almost never.

All of these instructors annoy me, but the exercises are good.  Apparently, there's a dirth of good looking, non-annoying pilates instructors on you-tube.

Interesting array of responses on the drinking question!  I'm so type A that I won't drink if I'm training the next day.  And I train every day but Sunday.  So I drink on Saturdays   But this weekend I have a race on Sunday, so I won't drink at all.  I used to be able to knock them back but at almost 40, it just affects me big time.  I think it's the dehydration affect.  And I generally just drink wine which I think creates a bit of a sinus headache at times.  But hubs and I love wine.  We even went to Sonoma for our honeymoon.  Man did we get wasted doing those wine tours

Switch, you are crazy.  You and your hubby posts these sick ab picks, then you say you often drink whiskey or beer daily.  I'm beginning to see that you are quite the anomaly!  A truly unique character.  I love it!

There is no friggin' way you are nearly 40!

Got engaged there (at Chateau St. Jean), and we're members of several winery wine clubs from Sonoma County.  I'll let everyone do the math on our wine consumption.  

And I like me some beer, too.  And single malt in the winter.

This is perfect topic today, because...uh, I might have had one or six too many ALL DAY yesterday.  While in the sun.  Oops.

So this is a rare day where having a few is affecting my ability to train.  I'm a little dehydrated and didn't sleep well (that's the main problem for me...I can't sleep when I drink).

I'll try to plow through some kind of core workout today...if not, then I guess I'm doubling up tomorrow.

I drink beer daily, and have all my life, usually 3 or 4 after I workout and with dinner....sometimes a couple more.  I don't miss workouts because of it, and I've never had a "beer gut".   Activity level is key.
