Hello all,
Sorry to be MIA all last week. Holly was here visiting and I was in a virtual class from hell. I had to get to work at 7:30 and stay until 4:00 closed up in a room with my computer and a really awful instructor. I did survive. So ...


May is here!!!! Today is my 7th wedding anniversary and 17 years of togetherness. I am usually on vacay this week so it is weird to have to be at work today. The sun is shining. an my front yard has new sod and a new walled off planter.

Stay strong if you need to resist the cool refreshing beverages of spring or enjoy them since you will outside and working out in fun ways!

    Happy Anniversary!! Sorry your stuck at work! :(

    Hi Lushes! Happy May! I've been very lushy per my usual this weekend but yesterday a lot of drinks equalled a bad decision... pasta! Oh well it was sooooo good. Going to be very good this week with logging and try to get back to where I was.

    Happy anniversary, Robin!!
    I did a 5k Saturday then proceeded to drink after. Split a bottle then had another. It was over many hours but I woke up yesterday sore from the 5k and a little hungover :/

    Beautiful start to May here in Western Washington! We had a family get together during last week and into the weekend. Up a few pounds so its moderation and working out on the agenda for this week.

    Oh- Happy Anniversary Robin! Great job on the 5k Sydney! Good luck to you Kitty on being good! (being bad is so much for fun :devil: )

    So my husband bought me some flowers and a card. However he left the card at the store and called me to go pick it up for him on my way home. :grumble: I stop at our little store to get my lotto and the conversation is, "May I have 3 on lotto and 2 on hit five and" *long pause* "...my anniversary card?" the clerk looks at me and hangs her head in shame, "that was me, I know he hates me." So Doug had bought a steak and potato for dinner but we were both so tired and yesterday was HOT so we didn't end up eating anything. I had a few vodka rocks but not too bad. Have a great day!

    Haha Robin. That made me laugh. Maybe he can make up for it with a dinner celebration tonight. ;)

    Would like another tomorrow, then I'm sure Cinco de Mayo festivities will kick in.

    Sounds fun, Kate! Im really looking forward to Laguna Beach Memorial day weekend.
    If I get in a decent workout I think I'll have some wine tonight. Dinner is already in the crockpot so that always makes me happy.

    Happy Anniversary Robin! (IMO Your husband should have picked up the forgotten card.)
    Sydney- way to kill it on the zeros!
    Kate-the Maui Beerfest sounds like fun- and grats on the upcoming anniversary!

    Monday- 1 vodka/sprite and wine
    Tuesday- 1 vodka/sprite and wine
    Wednesday-should be the same UNLESS Lenny decides on Maui Brewing Company for happy hour. He planted the seed but I am not going to let it grow, I'd rather wait until Friday!

    vodka and raspberry lemonade. a couple of them. Plodding along.

    Vodka raspberry Lemonade sounds so summery good!
    I had 2 glasses of red wine last night after a great workout.
    Probably something similar tonight. While Tequila seems more appropriate for Cinco de Mayo, I'm staying away from the hard liquor during the week.

    Monday- vodka/sprite and wine
    Tuesday-vodka/sprite and wine
    Wednesday-Lenny MADE me go to happy hour last night :laugh: 2 beers, 1 vodka/sprite and wine
    Thursday-MARGARITAS...I am planning on two but I will not rule out 3 :wink:

    Hi Lushes. Massive amount of wine and some rum this week but at least I'm tracking and not going super high over cals. I think the hardest thing for me is tracking and being good on the weekends. I do great during the week even if I'm drinking but then the weekends just get me so far off track I've gained 4 pounds in like 2 weeks! I'm going to try to keep tracking this weekend. BBQ/pool (ugh bathing suit time :'( ) tomorrow at a friend's and brunch/BBQ for Mother's Day... no promises on the brunch, if it's a buffet I'm going all out but otherwise; very little carbs all weekend and tracking everything. Have a good weekend everyone!

    Lushy, lushy weekend...seriously need to dry out but the combination of my birthday, my step-daughters college graduation (and dealing with hubby's ex-wife :#) and Mother's day prompted A LOT of alcohol...
    Fri - 4 glasses of wine
    Sat - lots and lots of wine...so much wine!
    Sun - 1 glass of wine (the remaining wine looked lonely in the bottle, had to finish it!) and 2 Irish trash cans....
    No drinking till the weekend!

    Irish trash cans?
    I had a relatively calm weekend. Got some work done. Vodka diet coke with lime got me thru the days. Friday night I had way too much wine but it was really good. Happy Monday!!!!

    I'm with you! Way too lushy! I would recap but I couldn't even begin to count. There was lots of wine and tequila involved.
    It's been a few years since the son has been home for Mother's day...it was very nice. He spoiled me. :)

    Beautiful morning here in Olympia- planning on making the best of it! Looks like everyone had a great weekend, lushing it up, and I was right there with ya!

    Yep. I have been lushy basically since last Tuesday. We are on the wagon till next weekend. I think it will be a 12 day streak.

    Irish trash cans are kind of like a long island ice tea but it has blue Curacao and red bull, which makes it a lovely shade of green, thus the Irish part....I've learned so many drinks since marrying an Irishman... B)

    The Irish certainly know how to toss back a few. Last night was a lot of white wine. I am gearing up to a run at being very good for a while. We shall see how it goes.

    Going to get back to some workouts too. I was too hungover yesterday to do anything :|

    Two 0's in a row. Only 10 more to go. Once I get past the weekend, should be piece of cake. Plus the weather is rainy and crappy which makes it easier. Sun makes me want to drink.

    Glad you found us Bridget :p
    Plugging along. My goal is not to erase all my work during the week by going crazy on the weekend. It's the son's birthday but I'm going to be good.

    I'm glad too!! I've really lost touch with this whole thread :(

    I've been trying to cut out drinking on the week nights. It goes pretty well up until Thursdays and then I'm ready for a nice glass of wine!!
