    Okay so I am doing pretty good at the moderating thing. I packed my clothes last night for the trip. I over packed as usual but I don't care. A girl needs options.

    Back from vacay...up on the scales I'm sure! Had so much fun tho.
    Time to get back to it. No more getaways for the rest of the year so I should be able to focus.

    My weekend was decent. I drank too much wine Saturday at the retirement party, but otherwise I moderated pretty well. It's the wine that gets me every time...... I need a better plan when drinking wine at places where supply is endless. Probably will have a 0 tonight.

    My weekend was super fun though; decent on the drinking front. Play date/birthday party Friday. Saturday took the kids to the farmers market. Then the party. Sunday we did an art fair with friends and went to another birthday party across the alley where there was a bouncey house and beer. Drank some Proseco to finish the night.

    I had 1 glass of wine after a good day of diet and exercise. Probably the same tonight. I'll check in on the scales later this week to see if I need to get more disciplined

    Happy October!!! I can't believe it's the 4th already. I swear, Christmas will be here before we know it!

    Haven't checked in for a while. Been super busy! Hope everyone is doing well! I'm trying to get back on track with going to the gym, but it's hard. I'd much rather go home & hang out....because I'm lazy. LOL, but for real.

    Sunday and Monday did some very serious workouts - Holy Smokin' abs!! I've been in such after pain, I'm either the worlds biggest baby (possibility) or way over did it! Back to workouts tomorrow - pinky swear!!
    Monday - 1 glass red wine
    Tues - 2 smallish glasses of Cabernet
    Really liking the new bourbon-barrel aged Cabernet - liking it too much!!

    Hi Bridget...good to see you!
    Good for you on your workouts Ann...and that Cab sounds wonderful.
    Plugging along here. We'll see what the scales say at the end of the week. It's warming up here tomorrow so I may have to hit the pool for a good swim before it gets too cold. (Yes..I'm a wimp..air temp below 70 is too cold...the pool is heated year-round)

    Tuesday - met Eric for happy hour: 1.5 glasses, 2 glasses at dinner, 1 big glass sparkling rose' = 4ish
    Wednesday - big glass of rose', 2 ciders, a Truly = 4

    Maybe I won't drink tonight. Or maybe I will. I have been keeping diet in check and getting all my workouts in so I'm feeling pretty good right now.

    South Beach next week! We leave Friday morning and I'm not coming back to work till the following Thursday!

    Glad you aren't in South Beach this week, Ashley!
    I'm doing my thing. Mid 80s here so I'm loving it. Pool day today

    Thursday-0. I REALLY should do a zero cause I didn't exercise this morning and have no plan to this afternoon, since I am making a big dinner and if we went for a walk we wouldn't eat until after 7 and we go to bed around 830, so yeah....we'll see

    So I was thinking, the only thing that sucks about living on Maui is every day is the perfect day for a margarita....it's hard man :laugh:

    Kate that is really trying to find a cloud in your silver lining.

    Syd enjoy your weather. We are in rainy fall mode up here.

    Ashley I hope the weather is good in South Beach.

    Ann the cab sounds delish!

    Bridget there is no one on this planet that is lazier than I am.

    Gary good luck on losing the 3. That isn't too bad of a vacation bloat.


    I am packed and ready to go. I am excited but anxious. I fell and hurt myself yesterday. I am better now but sore.

    I will try to keep y'all posted while I am in the UK!

    Have a great trip Mama Lush! Yes, I am glad we are not in Miami right now either! Weather for next weekend is scattered Tstorms, but I feel like that always happens there. This will be our third time there.

    Eric went to happy hour last night so I got a bottle of white. Getting close to the end of white season..... I drank half the bottle. I was sort of planning on drinking it all, but I had yoga this morning so opted for sparkling water and a little ice cream instead.

    Lots of fall activities planned for the weekend: fall fest tonight and pumpkin patch and Halloween Parade tomorrow. Have a great weekend lushes!

    Anyone else having news feed issues? All I can see is that MFP wants me to invite friends via email or Facebook to join.

    Safe travels Mama Lush...Enjoy!
    It's warm here so I'm still pretending it's summer which is fine with me. Got a meeting at 10am but if it ends early I may need a beach day.
    Yup...news feed issues here too.
    TGIF lushes! :drinker:

    Monday - Wednesday: 0
    Thursday-we went out to eat....1 margarita, 1 small carafe of sake, and 2 glasses of wine back at the house. I mean we had to celebrate...I got an amazing review at work AND it was our 9 month Maui-versary, so.....
    Tonight, we will do several miles on the beach, followed by a cocktail and the sunset and then probably some more drinks when we get home.
    Tomorrow, we are planning on snorkeling out on Lahaina side, lunch, home, chores, food prep, etc.
    Sunday, we are brewing our Coffee Chocolate Bourbon Stout with Hawaiian Chili Peppers :bigsmile:

    Happy Aloha Friday!!!!
    Have a great weekend everyone!!

    I did pretty good this weekend. I met Eric for happy hour Friday and had 2 glasses of wine. Then I walked the kids up to a festival. Had a roadie and I think 3 ciders there. Was falling asleep watching American Horror Story around 10. Saturday we did all the fall things - pumpkin patch, Halloween Parade, festival again.... I had 3 ciders walking to parade/at parade/walking to festival, and I think 3 drinks at the fest. Poured a beer at home, and fell asleep again after about 2/3 of it. Yesterday I thought I may dry out, but had a beer, 1/2 cider and half bottle of red. The weather was perfect!

    I'll probably have a 0 tonight. I reckon I will drink the rest of the week since it's vacation week! Once we get back from South Beach, maybe we'll try to dial it back a little before the holidays. Maybe.....

    My meeting on Friday went long so no beach..
    But I came home and pretty much started the weekend early. Wine and vodka both Friday and Saturday. Party watching my husband's Cubs win. :) he's gone all week on business so sometimes that means I focus more...sometimes I treat it like vacay. I'm feeling kinda lazy.....
