    Robin, the zeros are an elusive creature to me as well. I am just trying to stay within calorie goals. Limited success on that front!

    But great work on the zeros ladies!

    Me too, Robin.
    I had 1 beer. Finished up moving the SIL.

    Plan on some exercise today and maybe 1 beer again tonight. We had an earthquake here last night at 1am, so I slept like *kitten*! Looking forward to a relaxing night
    TGIF!

    Very quiet weekend which is exactly what I needed. Drank 1 1/2 bottle of wine from Friday-Sunday. Very moderate. Felt like I was fighting off some kind of sinus thing so took it easy.
    Chicago bound this week!

    The usual..... Friday festivating with the kids. Drank more at home
    Saturday has friends over and drank a lot.
    Sunday went to the pool with friends and drank. Came home, napped, drank a bit more, and found a random festival in our neighborhood.

    I do think I'll have 0's today and tomorrow. My liver needs to rest up for vacation next week.

    Pretty quiet weekend for me. Didn't over do it on the drinks too much. 1 bottle of wine on Friday night and then some beers on Saturday. Pretty chill.

    I need to go to the gym tonight....but my PMS really wants some wine and to not be around people....I don't know who will win or if there will be a compromise!

    so my work week started off strange. two weeks ago I received a written warning because I volunteer info to people when I wasn't the one asked. (stepping on toes, I guess) I was upset but got over it. Yesterday someone in HR printed off the statements that were back up for my warning and left them on the printer (big no no) some one saw my name on them and assumed they were mine. So needless to say I got to read the statements of those that felt the need to complain about me. the worst part of it is that the one co worker who did the complaining was (I thought) a good friend who lied straight to my face. The worse kind of betrayal. On the positive side of things I didn't really drink that much last night. I think I was feeling so betrayed and defeated.

    Happy Tuesday all.

    PARTY is OVER!! I don't think I have seen a zero for the whole month.

    I had up to 13 additional people sleeping in my house for the long weekend. They came from Arkansas, Wisconsin, Texas & Chicago. I cleaned most of the day yesterday just to get some sense of normalcy back.

    Party was a perfect day with over 80 people for sure. We rented one of my favorite parks on a lake. We had a motorcycle drive-by of about 15 bikes that brought tears to my eyes, great food from the food truck, lots of yard games and well wishes for my Kyle.

    Here is what I wrote for him. I will miss him so much.

    Kyle Andrew ....ski

    18 years ago, a boy was born
    Our first moment together, with love in my heart
    I looked and said, I really wanted you and I got you

    And, through the years, we watched him grow
    In school, he was antsy, so C’s would have to be
    He was a builder and resourceful, so the nickname “Mac’Ky’ver” was given

    Soon, we would discover, the man who was to be
    Thoughts of being a Marine began manifesting in his head
    So, the boy enlisted at seventeen

    He began training his brain, building his muscles and learning the ropes
    His new brothers fostered resilience, strength and courage
    May God follow this boy who is now a man and meant to be a Marine

    Robin, that sucks to find out about your so-called friend.
    Kim, congrats on your son. Hopefully they'll take good care of him here in San Diego during his training.
    A glass of wine. I've been sleeping great.

    Mostly packing today. Probably another glass of wine tonight.

    Great poem Kim. Syd, I hate packing even when it is to go have fun.

    I made the mistake of buying some raspberry lemonade yesterday. so of course several vodka lemonades made their way to my mouth. What can I say? I am a lush!

    Hi Lushes. Been away a little while, been super lushy and busy and gained more weight. I decided to do one of the 30-day shake plans and I'm starting today. Made the mistake of going out into the MFP community to look for support and forgot how many trolls are out there and how awful they can be since I am not doing it "the right way". I get so discouraged every time I get into a thread. Glad you guys are here.
  • SoCalWoman
    SoCalWoman Posts: 2,384 Member
    If a shake plan helps kick start your weight loss journey, I say go for it. Don't let anyone tell you what works for you!

    I'm drinking for all of you. Me and flying do not go well together unless booze is involved. :drinker:

    Thanks. I ended up deleting all of my photos and my profile info because they just wouldn't stop. I'm so close to deleting my profile altogether. I know I shouldn't let it get to me but I'm already so depressed that now I'm just a mess.

    Kitty, you could always delete your profile and make another- we will still be here!

    Thanks, I did almost do that, just didn't want to lose all my data! MFP locked the thread now so no one can see it anymore. Thanks for listening guys. I love it here, no judgement, just encouragement. <3<3<3 Love these Lushes!

    Me too :'(

    Kitty, do what's best for you...people are *kitten* (censored)

    I am working on moderation. I am trying not to have more than 3 a night and try for zero's.

    Kate, I am jealous of your trails. I want to move in 7 years and I am liking North Carolina atm despite the bathroom controversy. Definately, a Southern girl at <3. I met a guy that moved to Kentucky and he stated it was the best state for old peeps tax wise. Right now, I am planning a trip to Nashville for my 50th, maybe I will fall in love with Tennesee. I've been to Lexington and loved that one.

    My moderation failed. I was in a wine drinking mood last night for a total of 6. I work the weekend so I will justify it that way.

    We bought some kayaks yesterday. I am super excited to get them going and happy that I am in the land of 10,000 lakes.

    Florida is a great choice too. I think I would like a little winter and mountains.
