    My lovely lushes, it's so nice to see the group is still going. I'm back to logging (ish) and have finally discovered I can see the forums on the phone app! After a few months of enforced abstinence due to being on pain meds I can now drink again and have rediscovered my taste for a nice glass (or 2) of red wine so I feel like a proper lush again :-) Got to make the most of it though as more surgery scheduled in 3 weeks so I'll have to be good again for a while after. It's been a tough last 12 months but hopefully I can start to get my fitness back in the coming months :-)

    I have thought of you often, Yvonne. I am so glad you came back to check up on us.

    I have continued with my soda's down wine to keep the volume to respectable moderation.
    TGIF. this weekend will be all about getting things done for the trip. (I hate coming home to a mess) I am so ready and I hope next week will fly by so I can then get on that damn plane!!!!!

    Keep on lushing.

    I've been consistent....
    Monday - a wine, a martini
    Tuesday - a cider
    Wednesday - 3 glasses of wine, a martini
    Thursday - 2 glasses of wine, a vodka/soda

    I'll probably grab some wine on the way home. I've got a facial at 10 tomorrow, so won't be getting schmamered or anything. And we've got lots to do to get the yard Derby ready and there's an art fair this weekend and a kid's birthday party. It's at a bowling alley. Wonder if there'll be booze. Have a great weekend lushes!

    Birthday tomorrow...so I am going to try not to go overboard with the eating and drinking but I'm sure there will be plenty of both. The real celebration isn't until next week when the husband booked a getaway for the 2 of us to my favorite hotel and spa. I had a good week and dropped 2 pounds but am not logging it since I'm sure I'll put it back on in the next week. :laugh:
    TGIF lushes!!!

I'm off Wednesday and working Thursday, and a little bit Friday (Oaks Day) then Saturday is our Derby party. I'm going to try not to overdo it as I'm sure I will on Derby Day. Tis a fun time in Louisville right now. :drinker:

    Monday-0
    Tuesday-lots of beer
    Wednesday-0
    Thursday-3 1/2 manhattans
    Friday-1/2 beer and 4 manhattans
    Saturday- 11/2 beers, 2 tropical punch vodka cocktails, 1 bottle of white wine and 1 glass of red. To be fair I started at 1030am and was in bed by 9. Felt great yesterday morning!!!
    Sunday-1 beer, 3 mint juleps and 1 LARGE glass of red.

    I am going to try to log some zeros this week. We are still going back and forth with the buyer so booze helps me destress and sleep!!!

    Happy Monday Lushes
    Saturday I started on appletini sodas and the it was wine spritzers all day yesterday. I over did it on Saturday and things got a little fuzzy. I went shopping at Amazon and didn't quite remember it. I only bought a Kindle paperwhite for the trip. I am so ready for sun and fun. I will try for some zeros but I stress out before a trip so who knows.

    Happy belated birthday Syd.

    got a 0 on Saturday!
    Wednesday-glass of wine
    Thursday-half a pitcher of beer (2?) and a glass
    Friday-Ok Go concert was so much fun! I had a vodka with fizzy water getting ready, split a bottle of red at dinner, then had two beers at the show (but I think they were 22 oz) and then we went to a brewery and I did a taster flight.
    Saturday=0
    Sunday=2 mimosa at brunch, 2 glass of wine

    I will try for 0 tonight, but there will be beer in the chili. Today and Wednesday I am trying to go low cals to make up for the days when I am higher.

    Friday night...lots of beer!!! Saturday night...0! Sunday night...0!

    Tonight I'm heading back to the Y for the first time since February! I hope that it doesn't kill me. And I'm going to try to avoid drinking the blue moons that are in the fridge too.

    Woof, the past two weekends have been unbelievably lushy :noway: and yet I'm having wine now. I think I need some time off from our socializing and boozy weekends. Maybe a few with just husband. I always feel like I need to hibernate and recover after socializing. I'm definitely that article with the headline 'The troubles of having an outgoing personality when you're an introvert'

    Although we have things with husbands family this weekend and with his coworkers next so I won't be getting a down weekend for a few weeks :(

    And so....wine.

    I hear you Kat!!! Same way, LOVE more than anything just being home with Lenny and dread all the social obligations but at the same time always have so much fun!

    Monday-0
    Tuesday-think I'll have another 0

    We are the same....very social. We host most events among friends. But if we are just sitting around home, we get antsy. My 3 year old has even picked up this trait! Sometimes I just want to stay home with just us and watch a movie with a couple glasses of wine.....

    I had the first 0 in a long time last night. I slept great with the exception of the two feedings, but right back to sleep after!

    I'm going to the track at 2. I'm going to try to only have 3 drinks since it's a work function and I have to drive. Maybe 4....maybe.

    Agreed, I love our what we call "our nights" where it's just us at home watching a movie or something while having some wine. During the week I don't really leave the house unless I have an appointment or need some groceries. But these past few weekends we've been going to a new local bar and staying for hours because now we're friends with the owners. I just need a break from that and to have a relaxing weekend at home.

    With that said I just got done with a good workout so.... Wine :p

    House stuff is the worst, Kate! I saw some posts I made last year about selling my dad's house that popped up on fb and they were not pretty lol. I think we lost Kim because of her house issues :/ Hang in there.
    I'm off for my getaway. I've lost 2 pounds. By the time I get back on Sunday I'm sure they will be back. :drinker:

    Sorry you're so stressed Kate :/ I'll be sure to have some for you and everyone else who's stressed, tonight. Anything to help :p:D

    It is absolutely gorgeous here today, sunny and in the 70's so I'm being a bum with the pups and clearing out the DVR. I'll get upstairs for my P90X in a bit.... After a tough work out I wine a lot ;):drinker:

    Have a fabulous time on your getaway Syd! :flowerforyou:

    Tuesday: at the track - a glass of wine, a tiny vodka soda, a Lilly (which I really just got for the glass; there's hardly any booze in it), and a bud light lime. About a bottle of wine at home watching an episode of Greys that was supposed to be 3. So I call that an 8 for the day/night.
    Wednesday: about a bottle of wine while we finished watching Greys (Which if any of you watch that still.....WTF?!?!?! We caught up last night and my friend and I were literally crying.) = 4

    I need a 0 tonight. And early bedtime. This week has been hectic. Eric has been working till dark on tiling and landscaping most nights so I've been on solo kid duty. And I was up late last night waiting for him to get home from driving his parents home after a play. Then Langston was up 3 times. I've got a meeting at 7 tonight at a pool/club we're joining. Hope it doesn't last long.....
