    We took Mollie to the vet last week and she has a mass that is probably cancer:( just a month after having Skeeeter put to sleep, so it's hard.
    I have been drinking and not working out because I hurt my back, again...
    Sunday=4 drinks
    Monday=2 wine
    Tuesday=2 wine, 2 beer
    Wednesday=4 beers

    I did not have as lushy of a weekend as I anticipated!

    Saturday - 0
    Sunday - 0
    Monday - will be 0

    Hubby & I are leaving to go out of town to K-State in order to have our puppy's surgery this week. I've made it so long not really thinking about it, but now I'm really stressed out about it & just hope that everything turns out ok! Poor baby girl. She turns 1 year old next month...and will already have 1 surgery under her belt. She is a little trooper though!

    Well the son has left and I managed not to cry. I did eat a ton and drank 2 bottles of wine so maybe I was hiding my feelings by being a total slug :laugh:
    Going to try to moderate and exercise this week...at least until Thursday when we take off for a week on just a husband/wife getaway to reconnect now that the kid is gone. ;)

    I was lushy over the weekend.

    Friday was an unexpected drunk. Had a buddy over. He left early. We went to the neighbors and drank more wine I did not need. I had 32oz beer and 5 glasses of wine. I was hungover Saturday.

    Saturday we had a play date so naturally we dranks beers. I think I had 6 or 7 beers from about 4pm-9pm. Strangely was not super drunk (Hoegarden and Stella). But then our friend brought her new boyfriend over so we drank a bottle of tequila and sat around the fire till after 1. Which means we were dragging @ss Sunday.

    We went to Indy for 21 Pilots (awesome show!) and actually did not drink a ton. I had a beer at dinner, then 3 beers and a wine at the show.

    Monday Eric and I drove back into Indy with the kids and walked around the parks and city and had lunch and one glass of wine at a nice little pizza place. It was a nice day off.

    Even though I'm off tomorrow I probably won't drink tonight. I need to work a little late anyways.

    Travelpalooza is over but this month is Festivalpalooza. I need to do better with my weight loss efforts.

    I need to focus more also!! But not until after I get back ;) I've been busy running around trying to get ready for this trip so I haven't exercised. I did drop all the weight I gained on our last vacay tho...just in time for me to put it back on this week. I swear I gain and lost the same damn 5 pounds over and over. But I'm glad I've got a little wiggle room to play with this week so I can just enjoy. It's going to be hot as hell..but when you're on vacation and don't have to do anything except lounge by the pool then hot weather is ok!
    See you in a week lushes..behave yourselves! :drinker:

    AWESOME Trip to NYC. Saw Jersey Boys and Wicked. Horse and carriage thru Central Park. all day at the Met. San Gennaro festival in Little Italy and all the rest of the stuff. We walked at least 5 miles per day. Dinner was usually appetizers and drinks. Lots of alcohol and some good food. I have a couple of days to regroup and then off to the Decade of the 70's high school reunion in Vegas. (and of course Grandma time)

    It looks like you are all doing good. Keep on Lushing.

    Monday - 1
    Tuesday - 0
    Wednesday - a 312, a Schlafley pumpkin (thank God they're gone.....), and a coconut vodka with coconut seltzer = 3
    Thursday - not sure

    I think my body might finally be recovered from my weekend binger. I slept like a rock for about 8.5 hours last night. I've been incredibly bloated this week. My 3 year old asked me if I had a baby in my belly yesterday.... :s Thanks kid... I feel less pregnant looking today. :# I've decided my body need mass amounts of water each day, like about 100 oz. and it take a long time to rehydrate after dehydrating myself for 3 days. Ugh.

    Amy, luckily we sold most of our stuff when we sold the house. So now its a matter of "do we really need this" and of course making sure it fits in the container....also everything is stacked neatly in a corner so it should be too difficult, right...famous last words :laugh:

    Back from five days at Mount Adams. Good weather but a bit cool at night (we were at 4500 ft). Great to see you all again!

    And no, I did not moderate! :wink:

    Woo....what a birthday I had!

    Friday - a couple beers and a couple glasses of wine. In bed by 11:30.

    Woke up Saturday feeling great. We went for a short run before coffee shop and farmers market. I was super productive: cleaned the kitchen, made baby food, etc. Got in the hot tub during nap time and had a beer and a half. Went to a festival and had a couple beers. Actually took a break from drinking before going to dinner at 7. Then had a dirty martini, glass of wine and half bottle at dinner. We decided it was a good idea to stop at a bar on the way home since we never go to bars anymore. I had 2 drinks I think, but everything get very foggy. My downfall was not drinking enough water so I was HUNGOVER yesterday. Worse than I've been in a while. So I laid on my @ss ALL day on my birthday. Felt a little guilty about it, but not too much.

    SO Sunday was a 0. Yes, I didn't drink a single thing on my actual birthday.

    I'll be racking up a couple 0's this week. Our "lifestyle change" is coming up in just a few weeks. I'm hoping we actually follow through! I don't ever need to be that hungover again. :smiley:

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY ASHLEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sounds like a fun filled weekend, minus the hungover part!!!!!!!!!!!

    Friday-we had some vodka and sprite...how many I'm not sure!!
    Saturday-about 8 drinks total. We accomplished a lot. We taped out the space for the container...HOLY *kitten*, 6' x 7' x 8'....ain't that big of an area. We consolidated boxes and got rid of more stuff. It was so overwhelming at first, but we rocked it out!!!
    In laws came home from Italy yesterday, I made some Chinese (figured they were all Italian-ed out :wink: ). I had 2 screw drivers, 3 cran-apple vodka with cider, 3 bourbon cocktails and 1 small glass of melomel.
    Think I'll dry out, at least for today!!!

    There's an open bottle of nice red I got Friday and a couple of handmade chocolate truffles to go with it. I probably need to drink it so it doesn't go bad tonight.

    Hello all! Sounds like everyone is doing well!

    Our puppy had surgery last week & she is doing well in recovery so far. Just sucks to see her limping around & not letting her enjoy the outdoors for long periods like she is used to, but thankfully she can go back to semi-normal in about 1.5 weeks!

    Tuesday - will be 0

    Hmm. I posted yesterday but I don't see it. Vegas was awesome. grand babies are the best. Winning big at roulette was good and booze was free flowing. Can't ask for much more. I gotta dry out for a few days because I need to get blood tests done this weekend.

    Bridget sorry about the pup.

    Robin, your trip to Vegas sounds FANTASTIC! I want to go sometime next year. I haven't been to Vegas since I got married there! LOL

    Pup is slowly getting better, but she is just too active for her own good. She is very independent and does not enjoy not being able to go down the stairs by herself. Only 1.5 more weeks....and then her cone collar can come off. That will be so great!

    Today is the 14th anniversary of my Mom's passing. I intended to possibly go to the gym this evening, but I am now thinking that I just want to cook dinner and drink wine...and that'll be that. :)
