No more alcohol!

I generally try and eat between 1300 - 1500 calories a day, which, with some careful planning and analysis isn't that difficult. BUT - I haven't been under 1500 since last Tuesday! The reason? Way too much wine. Now, I'm not going to lie - I love wine. But something has to give here. A 6 oz glass is around 120 calories, which is a lot when you are trying to be as careful as I am. Part of the problem is that I've been at my parents house 3 of the past 5 days. My mother is also a big fan of wine, and when I head over there to visit, she generally just starts pouring me a glass. It's very difficult to say no to.

Another reason that I've been downing so much wine lately is that I found one that I just love - Jam Jar Sweet Shiraz. It is freaking amazing. I never thought I was that into sweeter wines, but this just really does it for me. So, so yummy - I could easily drink a whole bottle by myself. I've currently got 3 unopened bottles sitting in my kitchen, and I'm making a vow not to open them until next weekend.
