Hi all,

Happy June, Summertime!!!!!!!
Cool beverages and grillin' great food.

I had a great birthday and an awesome time off. I was supposed to do a lot of work around the house and then I decided that that was a stupid idea to spend my vacation time working so I didn't do as much as I probably should have. I loved sleeping in and enjoying my time off. Now it is time to get serious. I hope to have a zero tonight and a zero tomorrow. I can do this.

    Happy birthday mama lush!
    Had a great time in Laguna altho it was chilly at the beach. Ate and drank way too much. I feel like a bloated blob and will be avoiding the scale.
    Back to it. I have 2 weeks until we head to Chicago.

    Probably a third one! Eric is finally starting to shake his illness....hopefully....and I think another night of no booze and early bedtime will benefit us both. Weird thing about going to bed early and not drinking...I'm waking up between 6-6:30 instead of 7ish. Now if my little guy would sleep in, maybe I could actually do something productive in the morning.

    Happy Birthday!! <3

    Had only one mimosa yesterday, gonna call that a win! But aiming for zero tonight because tomorrow's Friday again and we're having my friend over this weekend again and another big beach day Sunday. Should be fun but very lushy.

    The son's buddy got back from Australia so we all sat around and drank beer. I think I can manage a 0 tonight tho. I need it.

    Finally got a 0!! And it's finally warm here so headed to the pool to see how my shoulder holds up.
    Absolutely no plans for the weekend and I couldn't be happier about it. Exercising is my only thing on the to do list.
    TGIF lushes!

    no zeros were gotten by me. I tried but one night cap really hit the spot. Ice cold vodka rocks really cools me down before bed. I am eating much better though and Monday starts our "Boeing on the Move" challenge at work where we have to 13500 steps a day for 8 weeks to get a 100 Amazon card. I will be walking.

    Thank you for the birthday wishes.

    3 in a row:noway: Going to try and not drink M-Th most weeks, going forward. We need to make some changes!
    It is Friday, which most likely means cocktails. Nothing crazy though.
    Tomorrow, we are heading to look at some cars, then food shopping, then some cooking and hopefully the beach for a bit.
    Sunday, nothing really. Gonna skype with our parents and might go see X-Men and grab a bite and some beers.

    Happy belated birthday Robin!! :) (Love the walking challenge, that sounds cool!)

    I actually had a zero on Friday, yes on a Friday - WTH?? :o Nothing really sounded good so why drink I guess...
    2 vodka/lemonades yesterday
    Not sure about today - my husband has been out of town for 2 days visiting his best friend from elementary school for a "guys weekend", so I'm sure there may be alcohol when he gets home... <3
    And I FINALLY got a workout in - holy smokes!! It's been almost a month that I have been slacking off and man, everything shows it!! Felt super good to finally workout again... :)

    I feel you on that! 3 good workouts in a row and my disposition is much better. I need to learn to incorporate workouts into my vacations. The good news is our next one is in Chicago. Lots of walking...as opposed to me just drinking and eating at the beach.

    Drank a lot Friday, but had a ton of fun! We got to go backstage for the Cage show and meet the band and also shoot hoops on UL's practice court. I still suck at sports. Saturday was a bit better. We went to an art fair so had beers starting around 4, stopped for dinner and then had some wine in the hot tub. Yesterday had a cider on the way to an outdoor free concert, and had a glass of wine there.

    0 tonight and maybe Tuesday and Wednesday. Eric is STILL sick. Finally going to the doctor today. He's miserable.

    Aloha!!!
    Weekend was kind of off.....spent HOURS at the dealer Saturday, but ended up with a nice little nissan versa. But we were both kind of cranky afterwards. Had 2 beers at lunch and then some vodka tonics and some whisky.
    Yesterday, we were tired and it was a little warm so we didn't do much. I made some meatballs and zucchini bread. Then we rented a movie. Had 2 beers, 4 vodka/sprites and a glass of wine...AND ZERO BUZZ....must have sweat it all out ;)
    Gonna get some zeros this week, starting tonight!!!

    We'll see about tonight. I could be talked into a margarita. I got a bottle of tequila Saturday intending to make margs, but I had wine instead.

    Hello Lushes! I realized today that I hadn't been on this thread since the beginning of May! Work has been so busy that I just have not had time. I'm trying to limit my alcohol to Fridays/Saturdays only...trying being the keyword. Last week my Dad, husband and I went to San Antonio to visit my brother & his fam. It was wonderful. We drank a lot of beermosas (my new favorite drink - beer/OJ!). Anyway, looks like you're all doing well!

    Monday - 0 & went to gym
    Tuesday - 0 & will be going to the gym

    Look at those 0's Katie!

    Seriously, I love my SIL and all her quirky ways (I have no doubt she's on the spectrum..Aspergers most likely) But her apartment is a total mess! It's that whole genius/but I can't function with basic life thing. It's endearing until you're called in to help her move the chaos that is her dwelling.
    I drank a beer and have now graduated to wine. I deserve it. I really do. :p

    Well I've been picking up the slack....

    Mon - 0
    Tues - 1/2 cider roadie walking to dinner where we split a bottle and then stopped for chocolate and wine on the way home.
    Wed - 3 ciders, 2 beers, 2 cocktails
    Oops. For the record, I was ready to stop after the 3 ciders and 1 beer. I even opened a sparkling water. But then my BIL came over and we had a fire.
    0 tonight. Well...because we drank everything!

    Well, there was no 0. I got done early with a meeting so went shopping for some summer clothes for our vacation week after next. Didn't get home till after 6 and Eric was ready to put the kids in the stroller and grab dinner out. So I had a beer and a wine and then made a margarita when I got home so not terrible. Hopefully will take it easy tonight.

    Wine last night. I slept pretty well.

    Way to go on all those zeros! They are a very elusive creature to me.
