    Monday - 6
    Tuesday - 3
    Wednesday - a pumpkin beer and a strawberry vodka with coconut sparkling water = 2

    Probably a couple drinks tonight and Friday. Saturday we're visiting friends and I'll be hanging with my friend and the kids by the pool all day while the guys golf so I'll probably sip some beer and have wine later.

    Monday - 6
    Tuesday - 3
    Wednesday - 2
    Thursday - 3 glasses of rose', 2 cocktails, 1/2 a beer. I'll call it a 5. We were up around the fire till about 11 with the neighbors and didn't go to bed till midnight. I'm sleepy today but feel fine otherwise.

    I'm really going to try to just have a couple beers tonight. Then September I'm really going to try to cut back on the booze during the week since we have so much going during the weekends. Labor Day, parents visiting, 21 Pilots in Indy, my birthday weekend..... Then it's October and time for all the fall fests and also Eric's birthday/our anniversary. I love this time of year!

    It's hot as balls here.
    Monday-0
    Tuesday-0
    Wednesday-a bottle of wine
    Thursday-0
    Friday-??
    Not a bad week. I'm in a post vacay funk...I think the weather isn't helping. Got in a good workout today so that should help.
    Oh and the shoulder is still improving. 116% better on certain movements. Still cant reach behind me at all but I'm happy with the progress I've made.
    Happy weekend everyone!

    Friday I had 32 ounces of sour beer and 2 glasses of wine. In bed before 11.

    Saturday I drank a 6 pack during afternoon/early evening (I know....it sounds kind of terrible) and then drank about 5 glasses of wine. I was pretty drunk.

    I had 2 beers yesterday.

    I'm really going to try to log some 0's this week.

    So I think I have told you all of our plans to go to South Beach for Eric's 40th birthday next October. He is determined to get into really good shape starting on his 39th birthday. So it looks like we are going to make an effort to be healthier (including drinking much less) in the coming year. Not that we're going to be T totallers, but there's no reason to have 11 drinks in one day.......

    Have a great week all!

    Hey Syd, you guys almost sweated out the Seahawks in that heat. Meanwhile up here everyone is drenched and without power. I was fortunate and only lost it for about 6 hours during Saturday night but my coworker is going on 48 hours and may not get it back for another 48.

    I didn't drink much this weekend. White wine Saturday night with dinner. Coffee with Baileys for breakfast and then one vodka night cap before bed. I guess our summer is over. Bring on September.

    Thanks Kate! I'm so glad to have regained movement and the pain is improved...it was pretty horrible for a while. Sounds like you're all set for your birthday...woohoo!
    Ashley getting healthy is a good plan...start now because it gets harder in your 50's!
    Mama lush...I can't even with the Chargers. They'll be in LA next year so I may have to adopt your team :)
    Bridget San Francisco can get chilly. You know the saying...the coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco! Fun city tho :smile:
    I drank 2 bottles of wine Friday with the husband but I think I had most of it. 0 Saturday. 2 glasses last night. Now that the heatwave is finally out of here maybe I can sleep better and get in some exercise this week.
    Have a good one lushes!

    Been awhile, I had funin Vegas, drank too much, and then I came back and was taking a couple of weeks off the workout wagon, but drank every night last week. Friday I overdid it at a concert, and I didn't drink at all Saturday and Sunday. I don't know why I have a headache today! I will try to stay under cals and if that allows for a drink, then I will.
    I am just trying to get my back in good shape before I start the new Jaime Eason program-it's called "From Flat to all that" so it has a lot of lifting, and 6-days per week workouts :#
    It's still pretty hot in Denver, too!

    Got my zero last night. I was going to attempt to have another tonight and I still may but I make no promises.
    I am in a fabulous mood. I just hope work doesn't ruin it :laugh: Laundry, packing and food prepping on tonight's agenda...then we are off at 7am tomorrow to head up to Ithaca, NY. It's a 4 hour drive so we want to get up there early, set up camp and then we are taking a walk to Ithaca Beer Co for some beers and lunch. I have a nice 4.5 mile hike planned for Thursday. Friday, we head to Worlds End State park in PA for the night and also a nice 4 mile hike. Saturday, we are going to spend a night in Bethlehem and probably go to the casino. Sunday, we travel back home...thank goodness for the holiday. I will surely need a day to recoop!!!!!
    Catch you all on the flip side...enjoy the holiday weekend everyone!!! xo

    That sounds wonderful Kate. Have fun! I need some camping in my life. We've talked about going with the kids this fall. Of course would be a very different trip than what we typically do when camping. Still, it's nice to sleep outside.

    I got a 0! Not sure when that happened last. Over a week ago. I'm going to try for another tonight and tomorrow. Maybe Thursday, but I'm making no promises.
