OMG how did it get to be September already?


Good news, Summer sipping is almost over. Bad news Fall and all it's wonderful cozy and tasty drinks are almost upon us. Pick your poison.

So a few last night. Doug got knocked off the stairs by Ritter this morning and he is a little sore so I am sure things will be rough tonight. Have a good one all.

    POOR DOUG!!!!!!!!!!!

    Monday-0
    Tuesday-0
    Wednesday-I broke....3 margaritas and 2 BIG glasses of wine.
    I will be sipping on something tonight as I paint my toe nails and pack for the long weekend. Hurricane #1 passed us uneventfully and Hurricane #2 seems to be going north. We are in a hurricane watch currently but I think it will end up being a tropical storm warning by the end of the day/tomorrow morning. We will still be getting winds and rains but better than a hurricane, while we are driving around the Big Island.

    Have a great holiday weekend everyone!! I'll be back Tuesday.
    Aloha!!!

    Wow, summer ended quickly here in the PacNW. I swear the leaves on the trees are already turning! September started lushy for me, BUT, I plan on staying on track!

    I think I will break my 5 day streak of drinking tonight..... Friday I had a lovely day off: coffee shop, nice run, lunch with 2 glasses of wine, and vodkas by the pool. We also had fun with our friends and drank a lot both Saturday and Sunday. I had a cider and 2 glasses of wine yesterday. September is the month I'm ditching these 5ish pounds that have crept on this summer so going to try to be much better with the booze.

    Not sure about tonight. Going to try for a 0. I have power yoga at 6am tomorrow. My Thursday class was full as of 9pm last night! I'm feeling less fluffy from a week of mostly good eating.

    I had 2 cocktails last night. The second was strong and I didn't even finish it. Early yoga motivated me to not continue drinking and watching OITNB. Yay. We have a 3 year old party tonight. I'll be drinking there. Maybe hit up some festivals this weekend if the weather holds out. Have a great weekend lushes!

    I did ok this weekend. Had about 5 glasses of wine and a cider friday. Saturday I probably totaled 7 or 8 over about 7 hours. Yesterday had a beer and cocktail while smoking ribs and then some red wine with dinner and after. I fell asleep watching Miss America at 9:30. 0s till Thursday.

    Gary-thanks for the nod to my mountain.

    It was a good weekend. Accomplished some stuff, didn't drink too much and I spent some "quality" time with my husband. The weather is supposed to be really nice all week. I hope I can get my but outside doing stuff after work instead of enjoying cocktails. We shall see.

    Enjoy Gary! We want stories when you get back. B)
    I had 2 bottles of red wine from Friday-Sunday. I consider that a win. Exercised also. I feel like the scale might be moving in the right direction. Hope to have a good week!

    Well....Eric and I both had rough days. So we split a bottle of sparkling rose'. I sort of wanted a cocktail, but I had to get up at 5:15 for yoga this morning. This yoga is really helping with the drinking! 0 tonight and tomorrow.

    SoCalWoman Posts: 2,384 Member
    I find if I drink red wine I only have 1 or 2 glasses. Diet and exercise has been good. I feel better. Hopefully it'll translate to a loss on the scale

    Last night I poured myself a glass of red wine then promptly spilled it on my white carpet (last of the bottle) :angry:

    Son called me from his g/F's house at 6:15am to tell me he's sick with a 101 fever and is coming home. She probably kicked his *kitten* out :D
    I'm going to need wine to deal with him. Stopping by the store to get some after I get my hair done :drinker:

    Syd, I hope the boy isn't too sick. BTW I could never own white carpet. If I have anything white at all it doesn't stay that way for 1/2 a second.

    Last night I only had one cocktail. I consider that t win.

    I hope you all are enjoying your week. The weather up here is beautiful.

    Work happy hour tonight, but I have to pick the kids up by 6, so will have 1 maybe 2 drinks. But then we're supposed to hang out with the neighbors.....

    Down another pound this week! Keeping my diet in check is working!

    Oh, and I was a victim of credit card theft. Someone in Jersey decided to buy $1600 of Michael Kors *kitten* on my dime. I'll be reimbursed, but that makes me mad that they just got away with it.....

    Ashley, it's happened to me twice! I hate thieves!! (haha at kitten...stupid MFP...we should be able to swear in our private groups FFS!) Also, congrats on your loss!
    had wine last night. It's been a good week with exercise and food though so I'm hoping the scales will be nice to me. I'm going to weigh in tomorrow.
