    Happy Monday Lushes!
    I hope you all had a good weekend. I am a bit hanky this mornings so I hope today will be a zero.
    Syd, I will be in San Diego this weekend. Maybe we can grab a glass of wine or something.

    Fun weekend. Probably drank too much Friday, but felt pretty good Saturday, went for a walk early, then prepped for the party. It was a highly successful party, great costumes and great times.
    I was dragging a bit yesterday, spent most of the day in bed catching up on shows. 1 1/2 beers.
    I am working from home today. I didn't sleep well and my body is achy and sore. Gonna shot for at least 3 zeros this week.
    Ashley good luck with the next 2 weeks!! You guys are gonna do great.

    Where ya going to be, Robin?
    We have my cousin's sons graduation from boot camp on Friday and a Halloween party to go to on Saturday...so things look a bit crazy. But let me know what your schedule looks like and where you'll be...maybe I could sneak away at some point.

    Things are plugging along here. The husband has been sick so that's always fun. I'm doing my best to just not catch it from him.
    Tomorrow I meet up with the Orthopedic surgeon for a follow up on the shoulder. I'm so much better than I was but I am frustrated about lack of recent progress.
    I'll probably have a glass of wine tonight.
    Friday- 1 beer and 1 glass of wine
    Saturday-3 glasses of wine and 3 whiskey/cokes.
    Sunday-0 I was hungover
    Monday-1 glass of wine?

    Day 3 of no booze success! The thought crossed my mind that a glass of red would be good with the crock pot lasagna, but no biggie.

    It's been too long! Sorry, will just jump in and say I have been moderating pretty well!
    Friday=3 drinks
    Saturday=1 beer
    Sunday=1 bloody mary
    Monday=0

    The only day I might be drinking is Thursday, a birthday dinner at Joe's Crab Shack.
    And then, Halloween! We have a party Friday and might do concert Saturday.

    Look at all those 0's for everyone!
    I have been moderating.
    Sunday-0
    Monday-1 glass of wine
    Tuesday-1 Vodka soda with a splash of Mango

    I didn't even really crave the drink last night but it was a long day at the dentist and then the Orthopedic surgeon...who was in surgery so I ended up waiting over an hour to see him. Good news is that I have made HUGE progress in some areas. There are some areas I really haven't progressed the way he would like to see. He suggested another cortisone shot. I decided to wait since the last shot didn't seem to make much of a difference. I did change up my physical therapist because I felt the other one was getting lazy with my therapy. So I'm going to see how I do with the change. I can always go back in for a shot if I think I'm not progressing with PT. I have very limited mobility to my side and almost none to my back. It's frustrating. :(

    Looks like you'll be staying downtown for the weekend Robin...fun! I probably won't have much time to travel that way this weekend but hopefully you'll have a great time after what sounds like has been a not so fun week at work.

    I feel like I might be catching the husbands funky cold/virus. I'm just ignoring it because I have too much to do this weekend. So I'm going to yoga it today and probably log a 0 tonight and get some sleep.

    I've been working out and eating well for the past couple of weeks and I get on the scale this morning to discover I've gained 2 lbs. Seriously?! WHY?! I know it's "just a number", but man it can really ruin a morning :'(

    Day 6 of no booze. I seem to have dropped about 1-1.5 pounds this week so that's great! I've had a headache off and on. Not sure if that's just sinuses or my body saying "give me wine!" :wink: The hard part comes this weekend. Halloween with no drinks. I have found myself thinking, "this would be more fun with drinks...." but not that often. I'm feeling good.

    Bgrune, my body can be very sensitive to salt, water weight, etc. depending of what i have eaten, if I have lifted and am sore, TOM, etc. I know it's hard to do, but don't let the scale get you down.

    way to go, with all the 0s, lushes!
    go, KC:) my husband is rooting for them too. I stayed up with him watching to see how it would end Tuesday, he calls extra innings "free baseball"
    Tuesday, we went out for a beer at the Joyride brewery in the hood, they had a pink grapefruit saison and maple bacon rauchbier, I had another PBR at home.
    Last night I was cold and had a hot milk and Baileys before bed (with a fun-size hershey bar...)

    Good luck!!
    I might get a few 0's because the husband decided to share his bug with me and I feel like caca. Maybe a shot or 2 of whiskey will help. :drinker:
    Enjoy your weekend lushes. I am returning to my bed. :yawn:

    Day 10 and going strong. I was not even all that tempted. A little on Halloween. Saw a lot of folks trick or treating and/or handing out candy with their beers, solo cups, wine, etc. I am looking forward to some red wine Friday. Good news is, I officially lost 2.5 pounds last week!
