Had a good weekend and managed to moderate. Beer tasting yesterday for the husband and I had 0! Did go through about 3/4 of a bottle of wine over several hours.
His bday is tomorrow so hitting up a favorite brewery for trivia night with friends. Tonight we're grilling and catching up on Better Call Saul. I'll probably have 1 glass of wine.
Have a good week lushes!0 -
I'm back! We had a nice vacation. Drank WAY too much. There was some family fighting Thursday which SUCKED and I'm still having anxiety over it. I was only trying to moderate, but still...... Eric and I have said that we are going to try to go 10 or so days with no alcohol. Well minus tomorrow for me. We have a company outing to go to the minor league baseball game at noon. I'm pretty sure I'll be drinking for that. I am guessing Eric will use his pass tonight as he had over 300 unread emails waiting for him this morning. We'll see if we can make it through the weekend. I am setting us up for failure in my head already! Maybe we could do 2 weeks of 0's Mon - Thurs and try to moderate better during the weekend. I love when the drinks are going down but hate the next morning. Hangovers, anxiety, not wanting to eat well, etc. etc. etc.
Not sure what else my plan is. May not go back to logging. I had to miss yoga today playing catch up at work. I want to focus on drinking for sure and diet also. And not spending so much money. Lots of things stressing me out!!
Better get back to it! Glad to be back!0 -
Another great weekend.
Friday-4 1/2

No 0s here but continued success moderating.
2 beers and a glass of wine at the husband's bday celebration. We were at the brewery for over 3 hours so I consider that a win. The husband however, is hurting this morning
luckily he's "working" from home today.
Maybe an early night and a 0 tonight?0 -
No zeros for me either, but I am moderating. The weather is now nice and I am trying to spend it outside doing lawn stuff. This weekend it is going to be 80 to 90, so not sure about being out in it.
Robin, the Firefly Sweet Tea vodka sounds very tempting on the warm summer days ahead. I had better stay away from it!0 -
well the news from the bosses is that I am safe for a little while at least. I can live with that for now.
not moderating. oh well.
I am not looking forward to the heat either Gary. 70 is good. 90 is bad.

Temps are raising here too...I mean it's always 80-85 but summer is just around the corner and we are already getting a taste of 90!0 -
Did I say 0 for tonight.....hmmm, this day is kicking my *kitten*. Let's see if I make it!0

Well after reading the Time article on dieting and weight loss I think I will be less concerned with logging everything and approach eating and exercise with the goal of doing both to feel better. Concentrate on what will make me feel better rather than what I can or can't eat.
It was a good article, nothing earth shattering revealed, but worth reading. Sometimes it is good to switch things up!0 -
Gary I have not seen that article, but after logging for the past few months, I think I am done, at least for a while. I hate logging food. The chick that used to teach pilates/strength at my office said, "Food is for eating, not logging". I'll have to check that out.
I have done well this week!
Mon - 0
Tues - I had 3 beers at the game and one after. Get this! I quit drinking around 4 and had nothing else! Those 4 drinks were over like 4.5 hours too.
Wed - another 0!
Tonight is the end of this week of swim for my daughter so we're going for pizza. I'll have a drink or 2.0 -
The accountant/CPA in me wants to log everything
But i certainly understand how it wouldn't work for everyone. I tend to be a grazer and it also keeps me in check with portion sizes which used to be a problem for me.
I had a 0 last night! We were all just too tired from the brewery bday celebrations to even bother with a drink. Probably wine tonight tho.0 -
Hello Lushes!
I think I only check-in on here once a month or so, if I'm lucky! Work is crazy busy which is great because it makes the day go by way faster! Hubby and I went on vacation last week to the Big Island of Hawaii. What a fabulous time we had visiting my friend. We flew back to Kansas on Monday & I'm still pretty sad about it. However, the 2nd degree sunburn on my legs is finally healing since I'm not out in the sun everyday! I've been detoxing since Monday as well and feel less bloated. I only gained 4 lbs which is insane with all the food and booze I consumed....but I'm not complaining!!
Hope you're all doing well. Can't believe it's late June already! Where has this year gone?!
Monday - 0

Thursday-shooting for another!
I am so off track this week. After 9 hours of sleep Tuesday and Wednesday I am still exhausted. I have no motivation and I'm just plain cranky....
Looking forward to the weekend!0 -
So tonight Doug and I are going to celebrate his early retirement. (read: Layoff). Steak and lobster on the grill and some nice wine and asparagus. I am glad he suggested it since he has been really struggling emotionally. Celebrating is better than mourning. Since I got the news that I won't be laid off I am hoping things can start to normalize now. its going to be a beautiful albeit hot weekend up here in the gorgeous Pacific Northwest. Have a great weekend lushes.0

Sounds like a perfect plan, Robin. Enjoy.
Good to see you, Bridget! I love the Big Island. I think it'll be the one we go to next.
Sticking close to home this weekend. Pool, grilling, a little exercise thrown in there too. Oh and wine :drinker:

ITS FRIDAY! LETS FALL INTO THE DRINK!0

My friend lives in Hilo so that is where we were mostly the whole time. However, we really went all around the island! We did go to the volcano. It was awesome. We hiked down into the crater and walked through a lava tube. Another night we hiked up to watch the lava flow at sunset. It was pretty great. One night we also drove up to the top of Mauna Kea and watched the sunset. I loved that. We did zip lining and wine tasting. Went to the Southernmost Point and the Green Sands Beach. We also went and stayed the night in Kona and went to a luau which was really cool. It was a wonderful trip. We did A LOT!0

Bridget that trip sounds awesome. I think Big Island is next on our list.
The weekend was hot. I stayed cool with iced beverages but I did okay. Doug had moments but we will survive. the steak and lobster were great. Now it is time to get thru the week.0 -
Moderated well and managed to drop a pound. Going to try to step up my exercise and continue with my good eating in hopes of dropping another pound before we leave to LA for the weekend.
Have a good week lushes!0 -
It was a pretty awesome trip! I'd like to go to Oahu or Maui next time we visit....which I have no idea when that would be. It's expensive to fly there for 2 people from Kansas!
Weekend was pretty chill. I had a migraine for 1/2 of it. That wasn't much fun. Tonight was supposed to be my first night back to the gym, but I've got unexpected errands I need to run, so that won't be happening! Just need to get through this week and then it is a 4 day weekend for me! YAY 4th of July!
Hope everyone has a great week!0 -
Hey lushes. My week last week ended up pretty decent with drinks. Friday I think I had 4 total and went to bed at like 11. I LOVE not being hungover on Saturdays! However, my BIL and his girlfriend came over to get her sunglasses she left at Derby around 2:00ish. Naturally we had a beverage. They ended up going to dinner with us and we hot tubbed and drank a lot. We weren't up too later, but I was a little rough Sunday. And she forgot her sunglasses again! Sunday I had 1.5 ciders.
