Happy F-ing New Year Lushes!

2017 has to be better than 2016. I have to be better too. I have recently discovered and all time new level of laziness. I am disgusted with myself. So Here's to being motivated!!!!!!!


Sorry I was MIA all during Christmas time. It had to do with the lazy issue.

    No booze since NYE and I really didn't drink all that much during the holidays...but boy did I eat and I did zero exercise. I'm not going anywhere near a scale for a few weeks because I'll just cry if I see what it says :'(
    So for me the new year starts with diet and exercise. I don't think I've ever gone this long without a good exercise routine..so I feel ya on the lazy, Robin.
    2016 can F-off!

    P.S. My tamales were good. I think pork or beef would be better though.

    Happy New Year Lushes! Omg I hear you guys on the lazy and I'm not going anywhere near a scale for awhile either. I need to get on track and get some exercise. I'm going to start slow, logging food and doing some walking but I got an Apple Watch to track everything so that exciting and I also have a gym membership now. That scares the hell out of me, it's been 10 years since I've had a gym membership. Going to have to work my way up to that.

    It looks like we all were on the "lazy daze" routine during the holidays. But I can feel the motivation spreading from you guys to me! Looking forward to logging my food and easing back into the exercise mode!

    May 2017 be our year!

    Going for a fairly dry January...so far so good! Drank WAY, WAY too much over New Year's weekend...embarrassingly amounts...
    Time to make some changes!

    I had an open expensive bottle of red that needed to be finished off but otherwise I exercised and ate well. All the Xmas stuff is down too thankfully.

    I don't know the last time I had a three day stretch. Seriously.... And I will not be drinking till Saturday. Hoping to make it till 5pm....

    It always amazes me how easy it is once I commit to not drinking. It really is just a mental habit for me. I weighed and measured yesterday and I need to drop some poundage. I'm hoping for 5 pounds in January. We'll see..... Cutting out the booze always helps.

    HI everyone!
    Happy New Year!!!
    We had a great weekend. Friday, retirement party. Saturday, aquarium. Sunday, brewing. Monday, lazy. Drank all weekend, shocker :laugh:

    Tuesday-0
    Wednesday-0
    Thursday-0

    Plan is no drinking until Friday and yoga everyday (starting next week)

    This weekend, we are going to take the decorations down and rearrange the living furniture, to accommodate the cat tree. We just have to figure out how to do yoga together, once that's done. Then cooking and cleaning and I am really hoping to get to the beach Sunday!

    We went out to dinner with friends last night, which was a big test for me but still managed a zero. My ultimate goal for this month is no alcohol January. Need some serious weight loss and I know the alcohol is working against me :(
    Going to try to make it to Super bowl weekend...

    Look at you guys! No 0's here. But the diary is otherwise looking good along with the exercise. It feels good to be in a routine again

    Friday-honestly I am not in the mood to drink too much. Plan on a beach walk tonight and hopefully get to bed early.
    There will be drinks this weekend, let's see if I can keep it light??!!!

    Have a great weekend everyone!

    Mon - Thurs = 0
    Friday Eric and I got takeout, split a bottle of wine and one cider, and watched a movie. Not too bad.... I did a 2.5 hour yoga practice (108 sun salutations) Saturday which was kind of fun. Eric and I had our date night and I drank a little too much. We should have not stopped for drinks on the way home from the play.... But it was fun and good food. So I'm back to 0s till Friday and I'll have just a few.

    I did well with the diet and exercise. Had 2 glasses of wine each day plus 1 beer yesterday.
    I weighed myself and looked at my progress. I weigh exactly the same as I did in Jan 2016. I guess that's better than gaining but it sure would be nice to see some progress. I'm guessing I might need to log in a few more 0's to see that happen. We'll see how the week goes.

    Hi Lushes! Well so far January hasn't gone well but I feel some motivation today! Aiming for a zero today (first in... too long) and during most of the week and cutting out all hard liquor for the rest of the month so I have something to aim for. Going to Costco to stock up on food since it's been months since I've cooked much. Also joined the Run The Year 2017 with some friends so we have a goal to run/walk 2017 miles altogether this year. Cheers to getting on track (hopefully)!

    Monday-0
    Goal is 0's until Friday!!! AND EXERCISE!!!! Planning on yoga everyday with some walks sprinkled in!

    Congrats on the 0's!! I'm still drinking wine. Tonight I'm going to a craft brewery with my son and his g/f. They have a trivia night there and food trucks. I'm going to try to fit this all in my diary for the day. Luckily I can't drink more than 1 beer so I'll be good on that....the food truck scares me though.

    That must be a thing....there is a micro brew down the street from me and they have food trucks come from time to time for events too....

    Eric asked if I wanted to split a bottle of wine tonight. He is not making this easy!! :/

    San Diego is widely considered one of the micro brewery capitals of the state if not the country. It's HUGE here. I feel bad sometimes that I don't appreciate beer more than I do :D
    I'm drinking a glass of wine before we go since the beer doesn't cut it for me. Cheers! :drinker:

    Another 0! Microbrews have just really gotten going here in the last 5 years. Of course we've got the bourbon going for us in KY. :)
