    Hi lushes, I'm back! Had 1 day of major lushiness on Saturday....I'll weigh myself tomorrow and see what damage I did. Home until the end of September so I have a good month to get my act together

    My weekend was moderately lushy. Thursday we got in about 11pm. Drive down was terrible - weather, traffic, scary thick fog on windy roads...... So we stayed up till nearly 2 having some drinks to wind down. Friday night was a different story. I got tanked sitting on the balcony with my Mom. Saturday was not bad. Sunday I had 3 ciders at the concert in the park.

    Yesterday was bad. I played a golf scramble. I usually do OK because they have domestic beer only. But they had shots and mixed drinks this year. I had a big shot of vodka and bourbon and most of a cocktail in addition to some beers. I probably should not have driven home. :neutral: Luckily my house is about 5 easy miles from the course. Bad Ashley. No drinks tonight or tomorrow. Thursday is work happy hour and may have some wine while Eric goes to his brother's show. Not much planned for the weekend.

    Good to see you back Bridget!
    I may have a glass of wine but both the son and I are battling a bit of a stomach bug so probably not.

    Mon - lots
    Tues - big glass of bubbly rose' (or 2 small ones)
    Wed - glass of bubbly rose'

    So no 0's, but I have not been doing bad. I have happy hour tonight and then will be solo after kids go to bed, so likely I'll drink more rose' and watch a crappy movie or Netflix.

    look at all those 0's Kate!!
    I've been drinking wine. Moderating while eating well and exercising. Hopefully it'll pay off at the scale at some point.
    Happy Friday lushes! :drinker:

    Monday-Thursday: 0 :bigsmile:

    Tonight, I plan on taking it easy....maybe some bourbon maybe some wine. We will be in bed early and up early. We have 9 am haircuts and we are walking, so we need some extra time.
    After the hair cuts we are going to grab some breakfast and then spend the afternoon have drinks.
    Not much else planned for the weekend. If we manage to get to bed early and feel decent Sunday we will probably go for a hike!!!

    Aloha Friday and have a great weekend!!!

    I had 2 beers at happy hour (one was a 22oz). I drank most of the bottle of bubbly, but there's like a small glass left! What a day. I'm ready for a drink!

    Did decent this weekend.

    Friday was tame. Dinner with friends and in bed by 11.

    Saturday had a couple beers during the day, spread out. Then drank some wine and moonshine. Probably did not need to open the second bottle of wine. Moonshine was strong!

    So I finished the wine and had one beer yesterday.

    Planning on 0's Monday and Tuesday. Maybe Wednesday. My friend is coming to watch my kids while I go to a meeting, so usually we drink after that, but I have to take both kids to dance class, so may not partake.

    Yesterday was Doug's birthday so we took a mental health day and hung out together. It made a nice three day weekend. I did pretty well over the weekend. I had two beers during the Seahawks game. We went to a baseball game that evening and I didn't have anything. Sunday I had a couple of vodka lemonades but water tasted so good I drank that most of the day. Yesterday I had a cider and some vodka lemon. let's see what today brings.

    haha at the week long birthday celebration Ann! That's kind of how I feel about the entire summer. I desperately need to get into a good groove.

    Tuesday - stressful day so I got some wine. Split the bottle = 2
    Wednesday - split most of a bottle with my friend/sitter after my hearing and then split a bottle with Eric after dance class = 4
    Not sure about tonight. I got some Truly I have not cracked yet. It's that boozey water: 5% and low cal and carb. It tastes like sparkling water.

    My sister introduced me to it on vacation. She said the chemistry of it somehow causes less hangovers. It's a little pricey. My liquor store sells individually (it's probably $1-$2 higher in general on stuff though) at $1.50 so $9 a six pack. Which sadly seems standard for bottled beverages these day in KY..... How much is booze where you all are? I tend to get average to slightly above average bottles of wine for $10-$13. I just paid $28 for a fifth of Kettle Tuesday.
