What? The year is half over?! Bring on the lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer! And of course the adult beverages that come along with that!

I'm going to do my best to establish a good routine this week!! No vacays planned until July so it's time to crack down and get healthy. Anyone else have summer plans?1

Hey everyone! Been lushing along as usual. We leave for Bonnaroo on Thursday so no sense in stopping now! Actually I will get a 0 tonight, but that's probably it. When we return, I want to take a couple week break either no alcohol at all, or none during the week and try to moderate a little better on weekends. I need a reset......1

Thanks for starting the thread Syd! And in answer to Syds question on summer plans:
Our backyard improvement project is slowly moving forward. We had an area cleared of brush and will ultimately put in a swing set, climbing wall and zip line. Its a project my wife wants to do. I help by staying out of her way.
In a bit of a slump, not keeping track of calories or exercise. Moderation, not so much.
We have had family company the past two months, EVERY weekend. I am sure that has much to do with the lack of consistency.
Have a great week all!0 -
Gary, sounds like you're all set for Grandkids in that backyard! Family is never going to leave
Ashley, you're having loads of fun, as usual!
I'm trying to recover from the crazy last 3 weeks and don't feel like doing a damn thing. I just can't get motivated to move forward with the kitchen remodel so I decided to re-do the son's room and update a few things in our master. Our backyard needs work too, but my brain won't even go there yet. It's all stuff that needs to happen but it feels overwhelming. So I'm basically doing nothing. Keeping up with the wine tho!!

Mederating pretty well here - zeros during the week, even on Friday! Saturday had a few and probably one today...working my butt off around the house today!
No big summer plans over here, September is our anniversary, I'm sure we'll do something then. Still trying to recover from my big 50th blowout back in May!
I want to play in Gary's backyard! sounds like a lot of fun! 0 -
As for the backyard- fun! The contractor is out today to do some more work. We leave today for four days on the Oregon coast so we hope to be surprised when we get home.
Not in the groove and the weight shows it. I am hoping this trip helps me reset.
Have a great week and see ya all on Friday!0 -
You're doing awesome, Ann! I see all your workouts too.
Well, I'm up 2 lbs. I think the lack of exercise has finally caught up to me. I've been maintaining my weight without it for a while, but now it's time.
Hope Mama Lush is doing ok! Check in when you can, Robin!0 -
We posted at the same time, Gary...enjoy your trip!!0
-
Enjoy your trip Gary!
Syd- I can gain two pounds thinking about food! not to discourage you against exercise, just sayin' - 2 lbs isn't too bad, especially when you're having fun! 0 -
Happy weekend everyone! And Happy Father's day, Gary! :flowerforyou:0
-
Thanks for the Father's day wishes Syd!
The camp trip was great! Too much indulging but I did manage 30 miles on the trike.
Back to counting calories. Finally feeling motivated.
Have a great weekend all!1 -
Survived the weekend with the grandson. Getting ready for a family reunion this Friday through Monday at our place. It should be wild. I am hoping that the extra running around will keep the calories in check. The family are very light drinkers so I should do fine. :drinker:
Will be in the high 80s this week- a little too warm for this kid!

Everyone is enjoying their summer I guess!
Husband's bday is tomorrow. Out to trivia night at the brewery tonight, dinner with friends tomorrow. Trying not to go overboard with food and booze.
Enjoy your family reunion Gary! I usually need edibles when I'm around mine

I guess they must be! Warm here but is suppose to moderate by Thursday. Enjoy your night out and celebrating you husbands bday!
Re: the reunion. Edibles etc will help!0 -
We won! (because we happened to have a guy who was an Usher fan and could rank 4 of his songs from most recent to least) Yeah...I contributed zip. Other than having 1 1/2 beers. I moderated well!! Dinner out tonight. I plan on 1 margarita.0
-
Hoo-ray for the trivia win Syd! Enjoy dinner!0
-
Stuck to 1 margarita, success!!
Ready to finish off the week strong, hopefully losing some or all of those 2 pounds I put on.1 -
Way to slay it Syd!
The reunion starts tomorrow at our place and will go until Monday night. I will be busy with the hosting stuff so will undoubtedly moderate.0 -
Good luck with the reunion Gary! When it comes to family, I always remind myself I didn't pick them- I'm just stuck with them...
Great job moderating Syd! I did pretty good yesterday myself- nephews grad party (again with family!) Just 2 beers all day!0 -
Hope the reunion went ok, Gary! Families can be exhausting.
Ann, you inspire me with your workouts and moderation. I'm still trying to find my groove.
Hope everyone else is doing well!0 -
Thanks guys! The reunion went well. We had out of towners from Texas and Arkansas at our place Thursday to Tuesday. The weather cooperated and they were able to see Washington's volcano MtSt Helens and to take a day trip to the beach at Ocean Shores.
Lots of food and drinks were had so I am sure I have work to do.
Syd- yes families can be exhausting! But is was good to get re acquainted with them again.0 -
Heading to Petco park for a baseball game Sat which usually means beer, wine and lots of food. Then we're heading to LA for the 4th next week. I'm thinking all bets are off for a while but maybe I'll at least get in a lot of steps to offset some of it.
:drinker:0 -
Have a good time Syd. Get some walks in and enjoy your time together!0

Hi all. My leave was extended to August 1. I am getting better and the break has been good for my mental state. I have been doing some moderation i don't have much of an appetite so even though I am not exercising i have kept the 6pound i lost off. Syd, thanks for checking up on me.0
-
Good to hear from you Robin! Glad you're feeling better and hope you continue to feel better!
I was doing really well with moderating but this last week, not so much
at least it hasn't affected my weight too bad...this week is a new week! 0 -
So good to hear from you Robin! Hopefully another month of leave will be just what you need. We missed you. :flowerforyou:
Well we went from temps in the 70s to over 100 and I've been a complete and total blob. It might be just the thing I need to finally join that pilates studio. Being up 5 lbs and feeling crappy can be motivating to make a change.
We take off again for a quick staycation downtown next weekend so hopefully I can have a decent week.
Hope all you lushes had a fantastic 4th and a great week ahead! The summer is flying by. 0 -
Hey Robin! Glad to hear you are getting better! Wishing you a quick recovery!
I have moderated this week by only having a few glasses of wine in the evening. I may break that tonight tho. I find I do feel better the next day, when I moderate. (no kidding right?)
Sorry about the high temps Syd! I know the fire danger is high down your way as well.
Ann you have done so good the past few months! You will get back on track this week!0 -
Today I had an ice cream drumstick for lunch and failed to exercise.
We'll call it a do-over
1 -
Hope everyone is having a good week!
I dropped a couple of pounds but I'm sure they will reappear this weekend. We're downtown though so hopefully I'll get in a few steps at least. Cheers lushes!0
