    Well I managed to stretch my bottle of wine over 2 nights. After a week of far too much chocolate and some alcohol I've rather amazingly lost 1cm off my waist. Not sure that would be a good long term strategy, but hey! I'm celebrating with a Jack Daniels

    Last week did not do so good due to our son being home from North Carolina. He had been working on installing a machine at an aircraft manufacturer and had been away for six months so it was great to have him back. Much food and drink were had.

    Now look forward to a good week of getting back in control!

    I had a lushy weekend.....again. Friday night the girls came back and we went to the neighbor's for a fire and wine. Saturday was Thunder and we started drinking at 4. I didn't eat enough so ended up pretty buzzy. Sunday we had a birthday party with beer and then went back to the neighbor's for more fire and wine. I was dragging the first half of the day and had a LONG day; didn't get home for Nashville till nearly 9pm.

    Not sure about Wednesday. Or Thursday. I'm working a half day Friday. Next week I am working probably a total of maybe 15 hours and going to the track twice. I love Derby week in Louisville!

    I'm with you Gary! I need to get serious. I was still carrying the 2 pounds from my spring break trip going into this 4 day bday weekend. I feel fat! (But had a great time :drinker: ) I'll weigh myself at the end of the week and adjust my weight up to get myself back on track :/

    Robin, I'm sorry thing aren't going well at work. The husband b!tches about Boeing all the time..he says the people he deals with are just miserable. Hang in there :flowerforyou:

    Not sure about tonight. Eric's oldest bro is in from San Fran so the brothers are all going out for beers. Which means I usually drink. We'll see.

    It feels good to be back on track. Still avoiding the scale.
    We've got our annual trip to Laguna Beach over labor day. I'd really like to have dropped this excess weight by then. I feel motivated.

    Will weigh in tomorrow to see the damage. Maybe I've managed to reverse some this week with the 0's.

    Great job Sydney!

    My brother, who lives with his wife in Nome AK, is in town to celebrate his 62nd birthday and Dad's 87th birthday. No way can I stick to my eating/drinking plan. Maybe I will be good.



    NAWWWWWW! :drinker:

    Fun packed weekend again. I swear I am going to collapse from exhaustion one of these days..... We did the balloon glow Friday night with the kids. Then the neighbors came down. Saturday we prepped for our party most of the day and drank a lot that night too. Party was great and the ciopinno turned out awesome. Yesterday we day drank at an art fair all afternoon and then went to in law's for family birthdays. I feel like I stayed buzzed most of the weekend. And we never stopped. We keep telling ourselves after Derby we're going to tone it back. But until then, I have 2 trips to the track and the Derby party planned so this week will be lushy too with very little working. I love Derby week in Louisville. Then I really am going to take a break. Maybe even do another 10 days booze free. I need a reset.
