Here it is September. Back to the grind for the teachers, back to some routine for the school age kid mothers and back to the lovely offerings of the fall.
Octoberfests around the corner -far too much temptation
Mulled wines to warm things up
Lovely reds to sip by the fire.
Hot toddies are just around the corner.
Be strong my lushes and control. Earn those calories with workouts and then enjoy your spoils. :drinker:

Welcome September! What a great summer we all had. Tons of gatherings spent with family and friends. Being "good" and being "bad". Even some babies were made!
Looking forward to a change of pace once fall sets in. Get my act back together, moderate, workout, and generally take back control of my eating drinking and fitness.
Hope everyone had a great extended weekend!0 -
September. Oy Vey.0

:flowerforyou: There we are!! Thanks Robin for getting this started again.
Had a bit too much to drink yesterday or perhaps it hit me harder since I had no alcohol during the week. Had a great sleep though. Alcohol makes me sleepy.
My September goal is to keep the alcohol to weekends. I can't go totally without yet. But if I don't lose enough weight, that may change that decision.

Got back from vacation Saturday night. Unpacked and got some errands done yesterday. Kept up our routine from vacation and went to bed early last night and got up early today. It's a gloomy day so right now we are in the fireplace room listening to music and lounging. I'm napping and reading while husband looks at stuff on his iPad and all the animals sleep as well. They are all very happy we are home and the pups are happy to be home as well. For me September has always marked the beginning of Fall so I am very excited as Fall is my favorite season
I may not be able to have my beloved Fall beers but I'll have my alcohol free red wine instead. My Fall decor will go up soon and about the middle of the month my awesome Halloween decor will come out.
As for vacation, it was amazing. A week of just relaxing at the beach. Up early to spend the day reading in the sun followed by getting in bed early and promptly falling asleep. It was bliss. Already planning next years trip which as some of you know will be different now that we are expecting our first little one =}
Hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday, have some drinks for this lush who cannot :drinker: and happy September!!!!:bigsmile:0 -
Driving back from the mountains. Pretty lushy all 3 nights, especially Saturday. Time to dry oit a bit. Yay September! My birthday month.0

Lushy weekend for this gal. Darn. I need to make better decisions. Tomorrow is a new day.

Wooo...lushy Katie...checking in!!!!!!!
Friday: we walked to the bar and drank way too much. 3 beers, 2 cocktails and 1 glass of wine
Saturday: filet and crab legs at my parents. Surprisingly I didn't get too trashed. 4 margaritas, 1 beer, a mahattan and a glass of wine.
Sunday: we went into town and drank for about 11hrs...we were trashed!!!! Therefore, I spend my bday yesterday in recovery mode....but that didn't stop me from having 1 1/2 beers and a glass of wine, as well as lots of salty food. I am PUFFY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Drying out for a few days!0 -
Wow September!! I could have a baby by the end of next month! I am so excited to put up my fall decor also Kat! I bought some new pumpkin decorations this weekend and some other fun fall stuff!
On a lushy note....I cannot wait to have some fall beers in about 8 weeks :drinker:0 -
The weekend was legendary and I have another one this weekend at the lakehouse we rented this weekend with the sisters and cousins. The following weekend will be my party.
>>>>>>>>:sad: :sad: is my liver
I'll be starting a new weight loss contest next Wednesday if anyone is interested.0 -
I did well yesterday. a couple of red wines and a few vodka rocks but not a lot. M-Th this week. I hope. I have gotten back on the good eating wagon and I hope I can jump on the exersize train and that should lead to the sober trail. Again I hope.0

Helloooooo lushes!
wrapping up my vacation. home today and it couldn't come any sooner.
good news: son is all settled in his new place and started his RA job training yesterday.
I have lost 7 lbs and havent had a drink since last Thursday.
bad news: i got sick as a dog with some stomach bug/food poisoning thing Fri and am just now starting to feel human. Nothing worse than being sick when youre not at home in your own bed! The trip was pretty much a disaster for me...I insisted the guys make the best of it and they did...I'm happy they had some bonding time before we came home. I bonded with the trashcan and toilet.:sick:
thankfully I had booked another vacay for just the husband and me at the end of this month..so I do have that to look forward to. otherwise I have faint memories of the beautiful monterey coast and santa barbara and that's it.
katie...sounds like you had a great birthday...woohooo!
the rest of you seemed to lush it up pretty well over the holiday.
Good to see you dave.
since I have a 6 day 0 streak going...I might just keep that going for a while.. see what happens.
*clicks heels* there's no place like home!

welcome home Syd.
so yesterday was a zero basically. I am not counting the sip of Cabo Wabo Anejo that I took when I was making the sauce for my lobster tacos. :bigsmile:
I will aim for zero again tonight.0 -
My first week back to logging went well, I did manage to keep my drinking within range but it is hard to know sometimes, logging restaurant meals.
So far
Monday=12 oz of red wine
Tuesday=0 drinks
Wednesday= going for 0 tonight as well, will indulge tomorrow.
congrats, Kat, I haven't been active on the thread so I just saw the news!
And to all the preggos who still check in on here, wow! it's hard for me when I am trying to log a few zeros and read about everyone's lushiness:drinker:0 -
Welcome back Syd!!! I am so sad your were sick though....BUT glad you are feeling better!!!!
Monday-1 1/2 beers and small galss of wine
Tuesday-0
Wednesday-2 "my boss is an *kitten*" margaritas
I will most likely have some wine tonight. I may walk to the liquor store for some red or just open the bottle of white that's in the fridge??!!!0 -
Failed. Vodka last night. lots. For some reason every thing Doug did just sort of irked me. I was really on edge and I don't know why. It could have something to do with the 10 hour days I am working. At least today is my last 10 and I can go back to being a normal person.0

Boo Syd. I'm glad you're feeling better. At least you have the perk of the weight loss from being sick!
Monday - 0
Tuesday - 2

Yesterday I got done with a meeting around 4:30 so got Daphne picked up and home before 5. Wine sounded pretty good, but we went running instead and then wine didn't sound as good. Tonight I suspect dinner out, a bottle of wine, and maybe a beer after. Besides, today is my Friday!0 -
SoCal looks like you and I got lucky on our vacations :noway: I had a head cold the whole week. I never get sick then I get pregnant and my immune system is down and I get sick....this kid will never hear the end of it haha.
Thanks asjerven no alcohol has been a whole lot easier than I thought it would be. However with Fall beers being my favorite it does get tough seeing everyone have a scrumptious Sam Octoberfest or a nice pumpkin beer :ohwell:
Speaking of Fall, this week we are out of the 80's :bigsmile: I put my Fall decor up and put my luscious Fall candles out too. Ordered some more Fall and Halloween stuff too, we will have a spooky house in a few weeks :devil:0 -
Sun - 4 beers
Mon - 4 beers0 -
Last night was a fail for me, too! Just had to deal with a hot water heater explosion, called for wine, and a little chocolate. Still came in 2 under for cals so I won't stress about it.
I am budgetting for 2 real beers and 2 lite beers tonight. Go Broncos;)0 -
:drinker:
Fail tonight. Missing DH. Left me for a very very long weekend! I have not even read any of your posts yet. Just know I won't be too much of any good until Tuesday morning. I am such a wimp :bigsmile: :blushing:

Monday-1 1/2 beers and small galss of red wine
Tuesday-0
Wednesday-2 margaritas
Last night I took a walk to the market and liquor store to pick up some red wine. I decided to crack open the white I had in the fridge and BLEH...it was HORRIBLE!!!! I got two sips in and poured in back in the bottle...sangria or cooking wine or dumping...stupid chairmans select, you never know what your gonna get. BUT luckily I picked up the red, so I have 2 glasses...about 10oz.
Tonight, thinking margaritas and maybe a glass of wine!!
Tomorrow we have a wedding and probably lunch out on sunday!!
Happy Friday All!!!!

Hope your feelng better Syd. Renny, hang tough.
Yay! Broncos rule!!!!
The lushes have gone very quiet. What's up peeps?
I am currently back in the vodka rut and I am not sure what I am going to do about it.0 -
Still no booze since Aug 29. I am inching my way toward a normal diet but still way under calories and not able to exercise.
I'm thinking I may as well stick to the no booze thing for a while...but we'll see if I change my tune once the stomach is better.
In the meantime...happy weekend lushes :drinker:0 -
Out of town company off and on for the past two weeks: high calorie days + boozing nights! And that equals....:sad: in the diet department, but glad in the fellowship department.
Leaving tomorrow for a few days of camping on Mt Adams. So more of the above will be had.
So later this next week after I get back I can start repairing the damage done! :ohwell:
It looks like a lot of you lushes have been moderating very well. Makes me think there is hope for me! :happy:
Have a great week all. Will check in next Thursday. :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:0 -
