    look at those 0's Kate!
    I'm moderating but doing real well with the diet and exercise. Hoping to see a drop on the scales this week. If I don't it probably means I need to log in the 0's.

    Full intentions of behaving last night but there was an intriguing looking bottle of Skyy spiced vodka on my counter when I arrived home, in the name of science, I had to try it...not bad-different ;)
    Then hubby called me from his buddies house and they were having delicious bbq, so I headed over there and had to drink a Bacardi....couldn't be rude to my host, right?? ;)
    Thirsty Thursday be damned, I NEED a zero!!

    Tues - a martini and 3 small glasses of wine at the event. Went to bed when we got home. Win!
    Wed - 1.5 ciders and 2 glasses of wine. There was wine left in the bottle this morning. Wha?! Win!
    Thurs - I'm picking up 2 bottles of wine and we may have a cocktail or two also. I'll try to keep it at 5 or less.

    I have been so busy at work this week and my daughter got sick Tuesday so had to work from home second half of the day. I worked a full day, but am just not as fast due to little screen on the laptop and slow connection. My workouts have suffered this week, but my diet has been good and as of this morning, I have dropped the 3 pounds (likely water weight) I have put on this month.

    Hi All,
    Sounds like I've found some kindred spirits! Yikes, and started my intro with a pun. Oops. Yes, I am working on losing weight but still really like my wine. Glad to know there are others like me. I've often counted zero days but didn't share it with anyone because was aft afraid of being judged. My user name is sassat if anyone wants to friend me. I am a cyclist and knitter too. I've logged over 2500 miles so far this year. If it weren't for the wine I'd probably be a size 6 ;-)

    Cheers,
    Sarah

    Hi Sarah!!
    Welcome!!!! This is group is pretty fantastic!!!

    Nice work Ashley!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I starting weighing myself again with a goal to lose 4 lbs by my birthday (beginning of Sept) BUT I am only going to weigh in at the beginning of the month cause weighing too often makes me crazy...if I lose I think it is ok to splurge (and I splurge enough already), if I don't lose I get mad at myself, so......once a month is enough for me!!!!

    Thursday-I always seem to fail on Thursday.....but I am trying for a 0!!!!

    I drank a lot last night. Like probably 5 glasses of wine, a cocktail and a beer. Feeling it a bit today, but have tons of work to do, so no slacking!

    Kate, I hear you on the weighing. I used to weigh several times a week. Now I shoot for weekly or every other week.

    Have a great weekend!

    Tropical Storm Darby is rolling in tonight...just in time for the weekend :grumble: Depending on how the storm tracks we will either be stuck in the house all weekend or we might be able to venture into town to catch a movie???
    Either way, ALOHA FRIDAY!!!!

    Hope everyone had a great weekend! I had too much wine Saturday so I had a 0 Sunday. Going for a few of those this week. No wine in the house so that always helps.

    Welcome Sarah. They call me Mama Lush or Robin.

    I haven't had any zeros but I think I am really really really going to try this week. Even though the morning started out with my car not working. The electrical is all messed up. :disappointed:
    Kate I hope Darby wasn't too bad. The weather here is glorious.

    I moderated pretty well Friday. Saturday not so much. Had a couple drinks before the party, then a couple daiquiris at the party and then decided to make a couple vodka drinks that were like double or triples. I got a little slurry. But then came home and ate some food so didn't feel bad yesterday. Had about 5 drinks at family birthday party yesterday but nothing when we got home. 0 tonight and Tuesday. We're going to a free concert Wednesday, so I'll have some drinks. Not sure about Thursday yet. We have 2 kid birthday parties Saturday and a play date Sunday. All will likely involve alcohol. :drinker:

    Saturday and Sunday were both white zin days plus a cocktail. As we near the end of summer, I hope to get back in the groove of mostly 0's on Mondays thru Thursdays, Thursdays being the most difficult. After that, towards fall, I want to aim for a zero on one of the three weekend days. Lofty goals! ;)

    Thanks Robin!!
    Darby was NOTHING!!! It ended up going South and missed us!!!!!
    Friday, we drank a little too much. Stayed up later that usual. I was so nervous about the storm I starting my weekend cooking, in case we lost power.
    I was dragging a bit Saturday morning and we decided to hang around and make some phone calls...5 hours on skype....nuts dude!!!! I got soooooo hammered...like threw up my tacos (which makes me very sad because I was soooo looking forward to them :wink:) I was in bed by 8pm and got up at 8am, so I felt pretty good yesterday. We had a some cocktails and some beers.
    Going for some zeros this week!!!!

    Trying for another tonight. I have another funk this week! I can't get healthy. I just feel like I have a cold or allergies. I got whatever Daphne had.... So I didn't even feel like drinking last night.
