Thursday - 2 cocktails and a beer at happy hour. Eric joined us so I got to stay a little later and he got the kids. We split a bottle of wine at home and did not hang out with our neighbors. I thought about making a cocktail but had a little bowl of ice cream instead.
I was falling asleep at 10 watching American Horror Story.
Supposed to hang with the neighbors tonight. Still want to keep it tame. Have a great weekend!0 -
I had a great time at Mt Adams. We all graduated together in 1974 (I know, ancient history). We hiked, ate, drank and had a great time catching up. The weather was nice, but since we camped at 4000 feet, it got down to 35 at night. It was like sleeping in a refrigerator. Glad to be back with the group!0

Great pic, Gary! And Brrrrr. I don't do well in the cold. Or camping for that matter
I'm down a pound..was hoping for more. But I guess it's the right direction. Meeting up with a friend today but it's a long drive so little if any drinking will happen. Birthday party tomorrow. Going to try to manage my food intake and keep plugging along. I've got a week before we take off to Palm Springs0 -
Had a so-so weekend on the booze front. We went to a festival Friday and then our neighbor came over. Her and I stayed up talking till almost 1am. I only had one piece of pizza for dinner and had the better part of 2 bottles of sparkling rose' so I was feeling alright. Saturday I was hangin a little bit, but started drinking beer around 2:00 and drank beer all day. Had some vodka and lemonade at the football game and a few beers after and another at home. I felt fine yesterday so had a few ciders at Jazz in the Park and fell asleep watching OITNB with a half beer left last night around 10. 0's till Thursday is my goal this week. Have a good one lushes!0

Hi lushes!
Had probably a bottle and then some of wine Saturday at the party over several hours. Woke up feeling fine but tired yesterday. Didn't exercise so I had a 0.
Maybe another 0 tonight? If I get in a good workout I may have a glass of wine.0 -
GOOD MORNING LUSHES!!!!!!!!!!
Friday-happy hour (3 beers), home (3 cocktails)
Saturday-we walked to the aquarium (4.5 miles), had breakfast (1 double screwdriver), took the bus into kihei town...first bar stop (2 double vodka tonics) second bar stop (3 1/2 beers), took the bus home and had 2 margaritas at home and passed out at 8 pm.
Sunday-I was dragging a bit, got some stuff done around the house, watched netflix (5 drinks)
Zeros Monday-Thursday AND I WILL EXERCISE THIS WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!0 -
Had my first zero in forever yesterday so shooting for more the rest of the week. Worked out too!
Stressful week in my house this week. This Friday would have been my brother-in-law's 61st birthday - it is his first birthday since he passed away. The entire family is coming over Friday after I'm home from work...I anticipate this day to be sad and stressful at the same time. What I would really love is if I could encourage everyone to share good memories of Steve, but I'm not sure that will happen...0 -
I walked in the door last night and Eric handed me a vodka and soda, so 1.
Hugs amcanzo!0 -
Awww...anniversaries of family passing can be so hard. The positive news is with time we often can remember the good times/stories and the sadness isn't quite so overwhelming. That takes a while. *hugs*
I had a good day of exercise so I had a glass of wine. We'll see what tonight brings.0 -
Good luck on Friday Ann
Monday-0

I finally got my *kitten* up this morning...it was only a 3 mile walk followed by 15 minutes of vinyasa, but it is a start. It is so hard to get up when the alarm goes off at 5, but you know, we used to get up at 4:30, so it should be a piece of cake right :huh:
Have a great day!0 -
Thanks guys!
Kate - I know exactly what you mean - I used to get up at 4:15 everyday so I could get a workout in, now we don't have to get up till 5:00 and I still struggle...wth??
1 grapefruit vodka/grapefruit water so kind of a win cause just 1....0 -
1 is a win for sure!!
A glass of wine last night and a good workout yesterday. The diet has also been good so I'm pleased.

So not doing all that well on the 0's
Mon - 1
Tues - neighbor came down after I had already had a cider and vodka and soda. I had another cocktail, cider, and a beer. Felt it yesterday, but ran off my sluggishness.
Wed - 0 even though I saw the neighbor in the afternoon and he indicated he and his wife were both off work today so if we were hanging out, they'd be up. We left our party lights off and watched Survivor and went to bed at 10:30 instead and I am glad.
In laws are coming for dinner tonight which actually means I probably won't drink since they hardly drink. I've got yoga at 6am tomorrow too.0 -
Oh no Robin! BananasRiceApplesauceToast. Very bland. I started taking probiotics over a year ago and my stomach issues have disappeared. Hope you're feeling better.
Drank wine last night. More tonight while packing. I've exercised and ate well this week and have dropped another pound. It'll be gone by the time I get back from vacation though so I'm not logging it. 0 -
Well another zero last night. I made homemade applesauce last night and ate it while it was hot. kind of like apple pie with low sugar and no crust.
zero tonight and zero tomorrow. I will try to be good but I will be in Vegas on Saturday so no guarantees.
I think I need to look into probiotics. I have a doc appt. on the 30th. I will talk to him about it.0 -
Robin and Sydney, enjoy your trips!!!!

Robin, for probiotics try kefir! Get better so you can enjoy the variety of foods in Vegas!
Geez Kate, all those zeros. I will have a couple so the universe will stay in balance.
Sydney- any chance you can take me with you in a carry on?
0 -
Woah, look at all those zeros Kate and Robin -WTG!
Robin - feel better quickly! That diet sounds so dull!
Syd- enjoy your trip, sounds like fun!
Haven't been doing any formal exercise, but working around the house to get things ready for tonight's family gathering so I've been working each night from the time I get home till bedtime, which has been late this week! I'm tired!0 -

I don't know if it my mind or the antibiotic but I am starting to feel better. I stick with the bland stuff as long as I can today and tomorrow.
I just have to tell you guys how tough this has been. On Friday of last week Doug went and picked up our wine club. So I have 2 cases of wine staring at me begging to be drunk. I am pretty proud of myself for getting all the zeros.
Happy Friday all.0 -

I celebrated well. Drank a LOT Saturday. 3 beers at the fest, glass of sparkling rose' before dinner, a champagne, a cocktail, white wine, red wine, and finished off with 2 champagnes. I was feeling it. Friday was a little better: had a cider on the way to dinner, then 2 margs, then 2 glasses of the bubbly rose', and half a cider. I finished 2 of the 3 open bottles of wine and had a raddler while smoking Boston butt yesterday. 0 today, tomorrow is my birthday, a couple Wednesday, and a 0 Thursday. Then maybe just maybe I can take it easy this weekend..... But we have a lot planned. We had a fun weekend though! Wish I was a little less hungover.0

It's quiet in here.....
I had a vodka on the rocks with a tiny bit of pistachio liqueur last night.0 -
Happy Birthday Ashley!!!0

Happy Birthday Ashley. Better late than never.
I had a great time with my grandbabies. They think "Jamma" is pretty cool. I did eat and drink while I was down there. The antibiotic the doc gave me seemed to do the trick. I did pretty well though. I didn't drink nearly as much as I usually do. I hope all is well with everyone.0 -
Hey everyone!!!
Been a stressful week and I have been drinking and don't see an end in sight.
We had a great weekend.
We got kittens a few weeks ago and they got spayed on Monday, so the stress of keeping them calm while they heal has been insane. They are CRA-ZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You would never know they just had surgery. Bouncing off the walls. I have been keeping them in the bathroom while we aren't home and sleeping, because they are CRA-ZY!!!!!!!!
It's not even the playing that makes me nervous it's the wrestling. God forbid they scratch the incisions.....baby kittens are making mommy stressed!!!!!
Monday-2 Manhattans
Tuesday-2 Manhattans
Wednesday-something
It is a 2 week minimum kind of week and I can't wait until it is over!!!!!0
