Managed all zeros. Moderated Friday and Saturday. Perhaps going for a few more zeros next week.
Rolled ankles suck! I have rolled my left ankle so much that it is no longer as stable as it should be. I have to be constantly aware of my walking surface.
Syd, Exciting times for you and your son. Moving into your first home is quite the achievement!

Gary, that's great! My 0s lasted 2 days

Gary, that's great about your zeros! I didn't fare as well -- but it's a new week. Imbibed all weekend and now it's time to scale it back for the week. Evenings (happy hour) are always tough as we are in such a routine so I'm going to have to change it up. Plus with my husband's fracture, we are pretty much housebound for a few more weeks. Attaching a picture of my latest as I think Syd asked me about my art a while back. More art = less drinking. That's a plan.

We spent the weekend helping our son and DIL move in to their new house. Its small but very functional. Moderated in the evenings. I felt I earned a couple drinks after all the physical activity. Back home tonight- there's no booze in the house so most likely will have a zero. lol
Syd- exciting times for your son!
Gwen- I love the colors in your painting! It would brighten up any room!0 -
Gwen, how pretty! I agree with Gary, love the colors!
No booze in the house is one way to make sure you get a 0!
I packed up a good chunk of my kitchen to give to my son in his move. Stuff I really don't use anymore and things he might need so win/win. Saves me from having to move it next year. So my kitchen is pretty streamlined now and it makes me happy. I celebrated with wine of course

Nice job cleaning your kitchen for your son- win win for sure. Personally I find cleaning out unused stuff very therapeutic
Managed the zero, no booze in the house helps + legal weed = WIN
Going to break heat records this week. We expect 90 tomorrow which is unusual this time of year. Thankfully we have AC! Not sure how many zeros I want to get this week. I suppose more is better, lol.0 -
Oh, BTW syd, I LOVES your profile pic!

Gary, good for you on those zeros! I have a wine cellar that is calling my name today. I did have a zero yesterday but today will probably be a cheater day. We're having our kitchen remodeled so I have no countertops or sink and my kitchen is in my spare room. Utter chaos! But thank you for the comments re: my art work! It's my happy place.
Syd, I LOVE getting rid of stuff so that's pretty cool that you can also help your son out. And thanks for the artwork thumbs up.

So yesterday was a 2 -- and I woke up being pretty disappointed with myself, to be honest Today and tomorrow I'm aiming for zeros. Hope everyone's week is going well.0
-
Gwen- remember when we thought a "2" was being very good? Don't be disappointed! As for me, Mon, Tues zero but we are planning a fettuccine with a wine sauce, so most likely NOT a zero! :drinker:
Father's Day coming up. My dad turned 90 this year, so each one becomes more important to celebrate.0 -
Gary, way to put it in perspective. I appreciate that very much! It's Italian night tonight -- we play bocce ball on a team at the local pizza place - but they have crappy wine so it's club soda and lime for me! I hope you enjoy your fettuccine, I might order that as well!
Happy Father's Day to your dad! Wow. And to you, too Gary!0 -
I hear ya Gwen. I got on the scale this am and was not pleased
I know part of the problem is I just haven't been able to move as much but that has nothing to do with my ability to shut my pie hole to extra calories.
Thanks for the profile pic compliment, Gary! We've had super warm temps down here too but back to 70s tomorrow which will make the son's move easier. 0 -
I love all of your new profile pics! I think I need to go update my profile picture! No zeros here BUT I have kept the consumption very low - 1/2 of a beer on Monday and just one vodka/mineral water yesterday, so not bad.
Happy Father's day Gary and to all the lushes husbands!0 -
Thanks for the Father's Day wishes Ann!

Hope everyone had a great week! Syd, I hope your foot is healing up!
Went to the doc this week for a bone density test and apparently, I have the bones of a 20-year-old! So there's that. Focusing on the positive. Healthy body is good. It's important to remember that it's not all about the number on the scale. I walked 30 minutes every morning this week. Ate healthy. Slept great. And two zeros this week. One more than last week so.. woohoo! It's Friday so my husband - who is still recovering -- will be building a big campfire tonight and there will be cocktails and burgers. Happy Friday all you beautiful lushes!0 -
Happy Father's day, Gary!! I know from the personal stories we've shared that you are a fantastic dad! Enjoy your day
Gwen my ankle is about 80% there, thanks for asking! And AMEN to focusing on the positive. Good health is everything!!
Focusing on the positive has been my mantra all week. We had a water leak scare in the son's new condo but it appears to just be seepage from bad caulking around the shower/tub. Welcome to homeownership, son.
We're spending Father's day moving. I'm going to try to moderate this weekend, had a 0 last night!
Enjoy the weekend lushes! :drinker:1 -
Thanks for you nice words Syd! Glad to see your ankle is on the mend but I had hoped you would be at 100% by now. Ligaments take time to heal.
Good report from the doc Gwen! I had my physical today and lets just say I have some work ahead for me!
Got three zeros this week, and will moderate over the weekend.
Enjoy your weekend!1 -
Move went well. Spent today setting up the son's kitchen while the husband put together his couch. Bed was delivered today but he's still sleeping at our place tonight because he has a work event near us tomorrow very early. (All his clothes are still here too) I love my son but I swear I feel like this move has been going on for eternity!
I actually had 0s on Friday and Saturday. 1 glass of wine yesterday. I've had 2 already today (and well deserved
) 1 -
Our Japanese DIL will be having her aunt and uncle visit from Japan starting today. It will be their first time to a western country. Her parents died years ago so they have taken the role of being mom and dad to her. Understandably she is nervous and wants to make their visit a good one. We will meet them for a lunch on Sunday. The cultural misunderstandings will no doubt make an appearance. I just found out that if I need to blow my nose, I have to excuse myself and do it in the bathroom. Shoes in the house are barbaric.
I am assuming they will understand all of the insults I unintentionally give them, but she is stressing out and wants everything to go well. If nothing else, it will make a funny story, international insults included.0 -
Gary, you'll win them over with your charm!
Husband's bday is tomorrow so there will be libations.
Hope everyone's week is going great :drinker:0 -
Gary, can't wait to hear how it goes!
We're in the middle of a kitchen remodel and it's been one problem / mistake / headache after another. Doesn't help that my husband is still in a walking boot and so most of this is landing on me. They finally arrived to install the new quartz countertop yesterday and I had high hopes of having a sink to wash dishes in today but when they took the slab off the truck they noticed it has a big chip out of it... so.... back to the shop it went to start over. Ugh. No countertop or water this weekend. First world issues, I realize, but needless to say, I've been having a hard time with zeros this week.
Monday - 2 glasses of wine
Tues - 1/2 glass of wine
Wed - 1 martini, 1 glass of wine
Thurs -- to be determined. It's not happy hour yet but I'm feeling the pull...0 -
Syd- Hope the birthday boy had a great day!
Gwen- remodels are a pain, kitchens have to be the most stressing. Quartz counter tops sounds amazing.
I will let everyone know how it goes with the new inlaws.1 -
Syd - Happy Bday to your hubby!
Gary - that actually sounds exciting, meeting the aunt & uncle from Japan - looking forward to hearing all about it!
Gwen - The kitchen will be beautiful when it's done, I'm sure - you'll make it thru and that is why alcohol was invented!
Quiet weekend here I'm really hoping! We've been so busy lately, just want to close myself off for the weekend! Stepdaughter and her fiancee have been trying to secure a new home (well, new to them anyway) and somehow we've become a part of this. They are young and never done any of this so our expertise has been helpful, hopefully!
There will be alcohol, just not too much!1 -
