    New thread..I hope I did this right!

    Happy birthday Kat! Your laid back Thanksgiving sound very nice.
    And I'm very jealous of Amy and your Aruba trip!!!
    I found my exercise groove yesterday...so that felt good. Hope to keep it up. I did finish off the red wine. It's raining here for the 1st time in months so that's great for the drought but makes me want to curl up in bed with a book. I need to keep moving!

    Thanks for starting the thread Syd. I had a minor meltdown yesterday and just didn't make it to the computer for the group. I am sorry. Mama Lush fail. I will hopefully do better next year.

    Lots of wine, vodka and medications. Trying to get all the balances right. Sounds like it was a decent holiday for all. sorry about the auto pain. I am back at work today but feeling quite disconnected.

    Monday - 0
    Tuesday - ??????

    Didn't get my zero last night. I just felt so much tension in the house. Not sure what from. so I had some vodka with blueberry pomagranite juice. I slept well. But I can't seem to wake up this morning.

    Hang in there Robin- do what you can to reduce your stress.

    You all are doing well with your zeros. I still manage to find that glass of wine every night. :drinker:
    I did exercise again and am feeling it today! I got on the scale and didn't gain any weight over the turkey holiday so that's good news...but still way up from summer. So hope to pull it together soon.

    Monday - 0
    Tuesday - 0 (even though I REALLY wanted the 2 beers that are in our fridge)
    Wednesday - 0

    Hubby has been home sick since Monday and home again tonight. Really hoping he is feeling better tomorrow. He is weak & dizzy...with body aches. No cold symptoms; i.e., sneezing, coughing, etc. Is this the flu?! It is so weird! Seems to happen to him every year!

    Bridget- is he running a fever? Flu usually has fever, body aches, and has a chest congestion component. Hoping for a quick recovery. Being sick sucks big hairy donkey... well you know. :wink:

    Gary, I think he has had a fever, but he wouldn't take his temp. No chest congestion though. Just the weakness, dizziness and body aches. Thankfully he woke up feeling a lot better this morning and is going to work today. So, that is a good start! It just sucks when someone is sick and there isn't a whole lot you can do.

    Men are the worst when they're sick (sorry Gary) Glad the hubs is feeling better!

    I started the day with a flat tire. :( I'm hoping this isn't an indication of how the rest of the day is going or it might be a boozy night. :drinker:
    Moderated and exercised again yesterday. Plugging along. My X-mas shopping is DONE! (I *hate* shopping..I try to get it done early so I can enjoy the holidays!) Now time to get the lights and decorations up. I'm looking forward to that. Tree (we get a real one) sometime next week. If any earlier it'll become kindling by Christmas here in SoCal.
    Hope everyone is having a good week..it's almost Friday!

    I haven't gotten a 0 yet...
    Monday=5 drinks
    Tuesday=1 glass red wine
    Wednesday=3 glasses of red wine
    Thursday=well, there's still a box of wine at home so I don't know...

    B, glad your hubby is feeling better!
    Syd, bummer on the flat but wow on the shopping. I haven't done any yet! I will probably do most of it online. At work we adopted a preschool class and their siblings to shop for and I have to do that not online...

    I just don't do x-mas shopping. My kids all know that we give them things throughout the year and that they don't get from us on Christmas. No stress shopping that way. Especially since they are all so far away. Cranberry and vodka last night. oh well maybe a zero tonight.

    Syd, you're right on with men being the worst when they are sick! I need to remember to try to be 1/2 as pathetic when sick. HAHA. It's all in good fun. I'm just thrilled he is feeling better, it was starting to worry me! And so sorry about your flat tire! I hope the day has improved!!

    Wednesday-2 vodka cocktails
    Thursday-2 1/2 beers and 2 bourbon and coke zeros
    Friday-something, not sure what yet. I was gonna walk over to the liquor store tonight but rain is in the forecast, so we shall see. I should really get some kind of physical activity today but I actually feel little hungover...WTF, only 4 1/2 drinks from 12pm to 10pm??!!!! :huh:

    I have a baby shower tomorrow afternoon, then not much going on for the rest of the weekend :bigsmile:

    good on you, gary! I wonder if I will ever manage to string some 0's together. I had wine again last night.
    Probably more of the same tonight after getting in some exercise. Happy weekend everyone! We're just going to finish up the house decorating.

    Thanks Sydney- the last few weeks of stringing in some zeros is new to me and I hope it becomes a habit.

    Amy- WAY TO GO!

    Thanks all :) and congrats on all the zeros!

    Hang in there Mama Lush <3

    I have not been getting zeros and certainly won't be starting tonight. Husband is flying to London, I hate flying and I get the worst anxiety when he's in the air so wine is being had. It's also the first time this crappy year that we've been apart. I want to try and get back to work outs tomorrow. Probably won't get zeros until after the New Year and I'm fine with that :drinker:

    We have asked people not to get us gifts this year but to instead donate to either Lily's Fund or one of the other charities that we donate to <3 We'll probably still get each person a little something though but I'd like to venture away from gifts and make the holidays more about spending time with people you love <3

    Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season, we decorated the Saturday after Thanksgiving and the house looks beautiful :)

    Well, happy weekend all!

    I drank way too much this weekend and didn't exercise. Let's see if I can get it together this week and log a few 0's.
