    I'm back from our getaway and while it was very fun...I know I am at my highest weight in quite some time. I've got a wedding this weekend, but we are home for a solid month. Time for me to get into a good routine of eating healthy and exercising...a little moderation would be nice too B)

    Hope everyone had a nice weekend. I love long weekends and short weeks :bigsmile:

    Friday-we stayed up entirely too late and got hammered
    Saturday-I was hurting...cleaned, grabbed 2 beers and a growler, then had a few more drinks before I fell asleep on the couch at 7pm.
    Sunday-we did nothing......drank, of course but just watched tv for the most part
    Monday-beach and drinks.
    It was a good weekend!!!!

    Gonna try to get some zeros this week but make no promises. I got some really amazing news today.....a project I was working on back in PA finally closed and I am getting a bonus....this makes me want to celebrate :drinker:

    Congrats Kate!
    I drank wine last night. Too much :|
    I'm having my son's buddies over for a goodbye grilling and beers party...one of them is moving to NYC. I may have 1 beer but won't be over doing it. My liver needs a break.

    Thanks for starting the thread Syd. I have been on vacay and I didn't want to look at the computer at all over the weekend. I took Friday and Tuesday off to make a nice long weekend. I did really well on moderation. In fact I have a half bottle of wine waiting for me tonight. It is very strange to have an open bottle of wine.

    I am moderating and staying the same on the scale. Not losing not gaining. Not motivated. Frustrated.

    I hope that July will be the month I kick into gear. Wish me luck.

    I hope you all had a safe and happy 4th. The dogs hated it, but they survived.

    Great work with the moderation Robin!!!!

    Tuesday-We ended up going out to a nice restaurant for dinner last night = 1 manhattan and 1 glass of wine. Then another back at the house. 3 total
    Not sure about tonight, maybe a zero, maybe a glass of wine!!!

    Hey lushes....I am feeling like I need to get some zeros but everytime I think it's going to happen I cave. I did buy some stress relieving adult coloring books and have been doing that in the evening which is helping me not mindless eat at night and also drink less.

    And I hear ya on the dogs hating the 4th....my poor Bella is so happy it's over!

    That's moderation, Robin!
    I had 1 beer and 1 glass of wine while grilling for the son's friends. Pretty mellow night for me. I've got 2 days of 0 plans before the wedding on Saturday. The only thing on my list to do is exercise.

    Tues - 2 beers, 3 sangrias
    Wed - 0
    Was planning on a 0 tonight, but a friend from Hawaii is in town and she's coming over for a drink. Tomorrow Eric is doing a bourbon tasting and going to a baseball game with a friend so I may take the kids to the pool and then drink a bottle of wine and watch a chick flick after they go to bed. Keep is mellow. Not much else planned for the weekend.

    Hi lushes. I did OK this weekend. Drank a lot but not completely ridiculous. And I worked out and/or walked almost every day last week. Diet was bad though. I was hoping for some 0's but work has been nuts today and there is wine in the fridge!
