    I had a ginger beer and a cocktail last night. Eric went out for drinks with his co-worker to talk about buying into the company and didn't get home till after 10 so I decided I should drink too. My cocktail was gin with pomegranate soda and it wasn't great. I forget I don't really like gin. I was still under cals soo......

    Gin is oooky.

    I had a glass of wine. Probably another tonight. I'm already on holiday mentally. I bet you are too Kate!

    I do not do gin. I can't stand it. It's about the only thing I will turn my nose up to (well, that, and Jagermeister) Sweet Tea Vodka and lemonade yesterday. Not a lot, but it is so good. Happy Tuesday all.

    Woof, August has been a little rough, first week I could barely walk due to being so sore, last week I had a pretty bad cold and this week Aunt Flo is in town :noway:

    Oh well, I'm going to enjoy the last few weeks of Summer. Think I'll get back on the bike tomorrow and pick back up with the P90X next week.

    Monday - 2
    Tuesday - a beer at dinner before the baseball game. No beers at the game. I did eat some of Daphne's snow cone.
    Wednesday - 2 ginger beers, a (rather weak) cocktail in the hot tub, a stronger cocktail in bed while watching Big Brother.

    Not sure about tonight. It's gorgeous here today so I'm sure I'll have something. Maybe grab a bottle of wine since I am out of vodka and beer. I'm going running at lunch. It's getting into the high 50s tonight!

    Ashley, do you have a favorite on Big Brother?

    I've moderated this week but that's all about to end. I've maintained the recent weight loss which I'm sure is about to end as well. My long weekend staycation starts now! Back Monday night. :drinker:

    I used to like Vanessa, but she gets on my nerves now. I like Johnny Mac and James the best I guess. I like Steve too though I think. I can't decide if he's really really weird or really really smart. I love that show even though it monopolizes my TV time.

    Vanessa's paranoia gets the best of her...I agree. She needs to ease up on the ADHD drugs :/
    I hope Jmac steps his game up.

    I agree! And I don't like the twins.

    I told Eric last night I want to go on Big Brother only to see what I would do if I were trapped inside a house for that long with NOTHING to do. I think I would sun and work out a lot. And probably cook all the time. Although by the looks of the house every year, I'd probably have to do a lot of cleaning.

    I thought Trainwreck was pretty funny too.
    I have been drinking all week but staying within cals for the most part, last night we went out, and I split a bottle of white and then had two beers so I am feeling a little rough today.
    Monday=2 glasses of wine
    Tuesday=2 glasses of wine
    Wednesday=1/2 bottle of wine, 2 beers
    Tonight I leave for Vegas, gonna try not to get alcohol poisoning :p>:)o:)

    Oops.

    Thursday - 7: wine and a cocktail

    I'm sleepy. We're having 6 of Eric's siblings over tonight for dinner. I'm going to try to stick to beer.

    good morning lushes. It was a moderate weekend. So on the BB17 front I really like JMAC but I am worried. I don't get how Vanessa gets away with what she gets away with.

    I made fresh marinara sauce yesterday from the abundance of tomatoes our one plant has. we still have about 30 tomatoes on the damn thing. So pasta and red wine tonight for sure.

    Up a couple pounds from entertaining family this weekend and a party at my brother's house. This week looks free of social obligations so should be able to stick to "the plan" and get those pesky lbs off. Looks like everyone else is enjoying summer and mini vacations. Love the upbeat nature of you guys!

    Kate your mini vacation sounds awesome
    Gary hang in there. You can get those pesky little buggers off.
    I made an amazing pasta last night with my home made sauce. Lots of vegies and some Italian sausage over rotini. The fresh tomato sauce really made the dish soooo good. So naturally I had some Italian wine. I am not sure what it was but it was very tasty.

    Sounds like everyone is doing well...wrapping up their summers!!

    I'm back from our mini vacay and I'm not going anywhere near a scale. We had a great time!! We're home until Labor Day when we take off again so I'll work on dropping the pounds...only to probably put them back on our next trip. :drinker:

    shooting for more 0's this week. Right now I have no desire to drink!

    Hey all. Been busy and out of the office the last day and a half!

    Weekend was semi lushy. I didn't stick to beer on Friday. I had liquor, ginger beer, and wine. And got pretty drunk. Was hangin a little Saturday till after lunch. We went to a family party at Eric's cousins who has a SWEEEEET house and pool. I bet he had 40 bottles of open liquor available plus tons of beer. And a slushy machine with a sweet daiquiri and frozen mojitos. I had 3 frozen drinks (don't think they were that strong), 2 cocktails, and took one home that I didn't finish. I fell asleep watching Paretnhood at 10:30. Sunday I had a half glass of wine with lunch and a ginger beer.

    Monday - Got done with my hearing early. Had 2 hours all alone so after much thought, I decided I'd go for a quick run, then go to the coffee shop for a glass of wine and reading outdoors. 1 minute into my run I tripped and feel on the sidewalk and scraped about a quarter size area of flesh off each knee and skinned my hands. So I spent over half hour of my 2 free hours looking for band aids and cleaning my wounds. So I felt sorry for myself and drank a cocktail. Then went for band aids and wine before I picked up my kids. Eric was at a buddy's till 8 so I drank 2 glasses of wine and another cocktail and then had 2 more glasses when he got home. So Monday was a 6.

    The weather is amazing here: 70s and low humidity, so I may have a cocktail or 2 tonight on the deck. This week is strawberry vodka and I've bee mixing with coconut sparkling water.

    Another today? Back to physical therapy for the shoulder... I'm hoping I didn't lose too much progress while on vacay. Got on the scale and up a pound...expected worse so I'm pretty ok with that.

    3 beers last night. One was a 22 oz Oberon but it was one glass. :drinker: Also had a pumpkin beer and one of those hard root beers. Maybe a 0 tonight but more than likely a pumpkin beer. It's feeling fall like here.
