Personally I'm ready to say goodbye to December....way too many parties with too much lushing and food. I will be totally avoiding the scale for a while. I know I've gained.
I'm ready to get back to a normal routine. First up: take down all these decorations.

I'm with ya! Already took down my decorations on Wednesday I was just over it this year!0

Thank you so much for starting the thread Syd. I am finally starting to feel human now. I agree with bidding farewell to December I drank non stop from coffee with Baileys and mimosa in the Morning all the way to night caps late into the evening. That is what Sandals will do to you. It was a good time. Not a good as our last two times but still good.
The bad started when we got home. The kennel I have taken the boys too and our previous dog since 2004 has taken a real turn for the worst. when we picked up Bodi he couldn't walk at all. His muscles atrophied because they never forced him to get up and move. They decided they would just hose out his kennel every time he had an accident and they hosed down Ritter because he was "excited". This led to me picking up an invalid stinking wet dog. I bathed him twice as soon as we got home and I couldn't get rid of the putrid smell. then I discovered all the festering sores on his legs and tail. (it just looked like wet fur) Once I poured hydrogen peroxide on all his wounds the stench went a way. We then spent the entire week rehabbing him back to the point he can walk and go outside to relief himself. He is about 80% back to what he was when we took him there in the first place.
In hind sight I should have known something had changed because when we took them in September they were happy and excited to go. When we took them before we left this time Bodi whined the whole way once he figured out where we were going. I feel so guilty for putting my dog thru a week of hell. Once I calm down and can focus without emotion I will write the kennel a letter and I will post a scathing yelp review so no one else will have to suffer as Bodi did.
Needless to say the stress of that and all the partying the week before and I got slammed with a coughing cold hard. I am still a little stuffed up but feeling much better.
I am hoping for a very happy new year. I gained 3 pounds but I know it is because I did no moving at all. I might have walked a total of a mile in the past two weeks where I usually walk 2 to 3 miles a day. I need to dry out a bit but we shall see.0 -
OMG that's terrible Robin! So sorry to hear. I used to hate to kennel our dog. I don't think she slept much because she would crash for almost an entire day when we returned. I'm sure there are good ones out there.
Just got my workout done. Now time to get back to real actual work. Ugh.0 -
Oh no Robin!! That's horrible
be sure to post that scathing review!! Glad you're feeling better. 0 -
Thanks for starting the thread Sydney!
Robin- How terrible for you and your dogs. I hope you find a good kennel near you!
I am up almost 20 lbs from the end of October (when I got out of the hospital). Pants are too tight (haha!) . Got a good workout in today and will be logging my food again. That's the only thing that seems to work for me.
I turn 60 this month- does that mean I can get a discount at Dennys?
Take care!0 -
Omg robin that's awful! And I'm sure boarding them wasn't cheap so those *kitten* were just taking your money to neglect the poor pups0
-
Oops forgot we can't swear here! Lol you guys can all just come up with your own names for those losers0
-
Oh my gosh, Robin. That is so awful. I'm so sorry for you & your fur babies
I would not only write them a scathing letter and yelp review, but I report that kennel and see if you can get them shut down. That makes my stomach churn. They need to be out of business. 0 -
Robin - that is just awful!! I agree with Bridget - report that kennel so no one else has to suffer the way you and your pups are suffering...you should be able to vacation and not worry about what is happening to your dogs...
Definitely need to dry out - I've set a goal to have no alcohol until I'm on the cruise ship in 2 weeks...so excited for this vacation!

Piece of cake. I'm going to try for 0's till Friday. Let's see if I can do it. We have nothing to drink in the house so that makes it easier.0 -
Thank you all for the support.
I didn't get a zero yesterday. I didn't really think I would. I am remarkably calm with my life right now and it is kind of weird. I am usually so over the top with how I feel. Anyway, making small changes to my cluttery existence. Throwing or donating something away ever day this year. I hope to have no clutter by the end of the year. I have 55 years of stuff and I probably only need 10% of it.
Have a great day lushes.0 -
I had wine. Moderating. Exercise and logging my meals is my top priority.0

I had wine. Not moderating. I need to get back on track.0

Happy New Year, Lushes!
I overdid it, but it's a new year...
I got a 0 Sunday and Monday
Tuesday=2 glasses of wine0 -
Off to the dentist! 0
-
3 zeros for me so far. Another tonight. I'm drinking Thursday because Eric is.
0 -
the dentist sucks hairy donkey balls.
I'm still drinking wine...but logging everything, exercising and staying within my calories. I will weigh myself Friday to see how much damage I did over the holidays.
Oh, and it's raining here. Like we seriously need it, but not all at once. It might be time for some sandbags if it keeps up. 0 -
Gary, I LOVE the dentist. But I always get the laughing gas when I go....even though they're only cleanings. I have such high anxiety with needles and a bad experience in the past. It makes the appointments so wonderful!
I started my day by dealing with my credit card company because they alerted me that some suspicious activity was happening on a card that I don't even own. So, someone had opened another card with the company and had charged about $1,700 on it already. I think I have everything done that I needed to do and hopefully this was an isolated incident. However, I have been stressed out to the max today! Still planning on staying strong and not drinking until Friday, but man am I tempted to buy some wine tonight
Monday - 0 and made it to the gym.
Tuesday - 0 and made it to the gym.
Wednesday - 0...and that will be a struggle!0 -
Hey lushes,I need to cut back down on the alcohol and clean up the diet. My clothes are too tight and I'm not going near the scales. I drank an entire litre bottle of Baileys in a couple of days which was about 2000 calories on its own
I'm still building the weight training back up slowly as rehab process is sooooo tedious. But whilst I cant exercise as much as I want, I can control what I eat and drink so no excuses. 0 -
Good to see you Yvonne I sure hear you on the Baileys.
I miraculously only had one small firefly sweet tea and diet last night. I guess that would be moderating. I am up on the scale and I want it to go away.
I had a great dentist. He moved to Virginia, I haven't found one since because I have very high anxiety and have bad bad bad experiences in the past too.
Bridget I hate identity theft. It is such a pain in the *kitten*.

And on the 5th day, there will be wine. And the 6th and 7th and then we're on the wagon for the next 12 days.
Where's Katie? Is she moving this week?!?!0 -
Good to see you Yvonne!!
Bridget I can relate...happened twice to me last year. Hope you put an alert on your credit.
Ashley you rocked this week! Well done. I was wondering about Katie too...I think she stopped work but not sure when she moves.
I had wine again but another good workout day. This crazy weather kept me up last night. We're not used to thunder and crazy wind and rain. We even had a tornado watch yesterday!! I'm going to need a nap but hope to get in some exercise.0 -
Whatup lushes?!!0

Only a couple of folks with 0s this week, must be in the water;) I was not able to get on any rolls,
Wednesday=4 beers
Maybe tonight I get a 0!0 -
I did put an alert out on my credit! Also, I have to get a new license next week before it expires at the end of the month...that will have my current address and then I can send a copy of that to all the credit agencies as well and that will put a 7 year fraud alert on my name and information. Just so crazy! And it is a pain in the a** to deal with! I resisted the bottle last night though. LOL

Thursday - 3 glasses of wine
I am finding that the longer I abstain, the more alcohol effects me. I have a pretty annoying headache today from only 3 wines. We have a "work-ish" social tonight and then we're restaurant hopping. I want to keep my drinks in check so I'm not hungover tomorrow. Happy Friday lushes!0 -
Hiya Zip!
I had champagne last night. I should have just gone with a 0 but decided to open a extra bottle we had from New Years.
I got on the scale...up 3 pounds. So I guess I will make it official and adjust my weight here. It looks like it's time to get in a few 0's if I want to drop the weight.
TGIF lushes!0 -
Down two pounds for the week! 18 to go!0
