M - 1 beer, 1.5 glasses of red
T - 0
W - 4 glasses red
R - 1 tiny glass of red
Total of 7. I'm a little impressed with myself. I had a small glass (maybe 3 oz) at my sis-in-law's after work. Had I been home, they would have kept flowing, but I didn't want to be rude and ask for her to open another bottle. Once I got home, fed the baby, fed myself, changed into jammies, I was worn out and thought drinking would be silly. Why catch a buzz only to go to sleep an hour later? I've sort of been thinking about things like that lately..... I'll probably stop for a bottle of red on the way home and we have one left from last weekend, so probably a bottle of red tonight. Happy Friday! Have a great weekend lushes!0 -
I was thirsty last night-:drinker: I had the three beers I'd alotted before my company even arrived. Then I had 4 more, for a total of 7. Oh well, not gonna beat myself up about it. I don't feel too bad today but that is up around hangover territory for me.0

omg katie..if I dragged my *kitten* out of bed to go to the gym to find it closed i'd be sooo pissed! wtf??
at least you have a fun concert to look forward to.
Usual for me..2 glasses of red. I've been very good with my calories tho and the scale seems to be responding. Let's see if I can get thru the weekend without blowing it all to hell.
Happy friday lushes! :drinker: :drinker:0 -
Kate, I would be so upset if it was closed! Oh my gosh! You should probably call & complain, that is what I would do!! Have so much fun at Weezer tomorrow! I'm so jealous, they are awesome!!
Had another 0 last night, tonight that will change. It's currently snowing here, but barely. So, hopefully that will be over by the time I get off work so hubby & I can go to BWW! I've been craving it. So I'd like to go there!0 -
Thu - 2 beers0

Fri - 6 beers

Threads been quiet since friday...WHAT'S UP LUSHES!!! I hope everyone is well!!!
Friday we walked to the bar instead of going to the gym. 3 beers then came home and destroyed the bourbon!!
Saturday we went to weyerbacher and spent WAY TOO $$ on beer, checked in the hotel, went to fegley's brewworks for lunch/dinner, then went to the show. Weezer was fabulous...they put on an amazing show, I wanna do it again!!! We got hammered and didn't get back to the hotel until 3am then stuffed our faces with pizza and a ham sandwich YUM!!!
Yesterday, we stopped for mexican and margaritas on the way home...alittle hair of the dog! Had 2 margs at the restaurant and 1 when we got home.
I don't feel too bad today, a little sleepy and puffy but all in all not too bad.
Not sure what the week will bring, as far as, drinking. I might go with a zero tonight, we'll see. Thanksgiving is at the in laws this year and I am DD, which I am happy to be, because friday morning we are going to one of our fav beer bars for a black friday event @ 7am....that's right 7am. We went last year and it was awesome, looking forward to it again!!!0 -
Relatively tame weekend I guess..... Friday we were in bed by 10:30. I was considering pouring a 5th glass of wine and then reasoning set in and I though, "I'm getting ready to go to bed, why drink more?" Which resulted in a productive Saturday. I made Dr. Pepper ribs, green beans I cooked in crockpot with bacon all day, and mashed potatoes for dinner and had a couple over. We drank about 5.5 bottles of wine and stayed up till around 2, so I was dragging @ss yesterday. Then we went to a friend's annual Thanksgiving feast (Dankfest) and had a few beers and some food. I came home and opened a cider and was falling asleep on the couch at 8:45, so I put my cider in the fridge and went to bed at 9! I'm still tired today. I'm shooting for a couple 0's since my family likes to drink, but we'll see. I may finish that cider tonight. We head south on Wednesday morning. Looking forward to a little vaca.0

Katie..I get exhausted just reading about your weekends!
I had way too many Friday night so I kept it to a 0 on Sat. Last night was my usual 2 glasses of wine.
I have managed to get more shopping done. A little more this week. Some family in town tomorrow but not staying with me :bigsmile: , the son arrives Wed night :bigsmile: :bigsmile:, Thanksgiving dinner is at my brothers so I have nothing to do but be in charge of the wine. :drinker: :drinker:
Should be a pretty laid back, easy week for me. I may even drop a few lbs since I don't eat much at Thanksgiving. Although I will probably make a huge carne asada meal for the son on Saturday...he requested that! Not planning on moderating very much this week..so hope all you lushes enjoy as well!0 -
Wow, Kate...what a wonderful weekend you had!! Awesome!
My weekend wasn't too exciting, but it was still fun. Friday night hubby & I went to BWW for dinner...then came home and had some beers & chilled on the couch. Then on Saturday, I made the cornbread that Kate told me about, it was DELICIOUS! I added some chili powder (as suggested on here) and also some Tabasco chipotle sauce! It was GOOD!!! Everyone loved it! So, thank you!!
Sunday, just worked out, cleaned the house and went to my dad's for dinner. All in all, it was a good weekend! No hangovers either! And only 3 days of work this week!! WOO HOO!!!0 -
Friday we had some family in town and went to their hotel for happy hour and then to dinner and split a couple of bottles of wine, then had a beer.
Saturday I had a beer, then a marg, followed by three beers.
Sunday=0 drinks
Not sure about this week, I might need to try for some 0's, or I might need wine and chocolate every night...
We have no plans for TG, which is kinda weird for me...0 -
Had quite the lushy weekend!
Was in Montana for a football game, and the highs were in the low 20's - whats a girl to do but drink to stay warm? I lost count on Friday and Saturday, yep it was that kind of weekend.
Have a great week all!0 -
Katie..I get exhausted just reading about your weekends!
I was going to say the same thing, I'm only 27 but I'm really 95 at heart and I could not handle weekends like Kblue's!!! :laugh:
Husband and I didn't do much except relax this weekend which was nice because the first of two Thanksgivings is at our home tomorrow so in a bit it is cleaning, cleaning and more cleaning for me. We have everyone bring something and then we do the turkey, stuffing and potatoes. We're making the potatoes and stuffing tonight and we'll keep them warm tomorrow while the turkey cooks so we should be able to just enjoy family instead of being in the kitchen the whole time. I love the food to pieces but I adore just spending time with family
and it's not so fun when you're just stuck cooking while everyone else mingles. I'm going to try very hard to get some good work outs in because I'll be eating tons of the delicious food and I stocked up on my faux wine :drinker:
We just have a few more gifts to get and we're done with shopping for Christmas

Happy Monday lushes. I hope you are all well.
This weekend was pretty chill. Went grocery shopping on Saturday and then enjoyed Pendelton and Soda the rest of the day. We just got the Hopper to replace our worn out DVR so I have been learning all its tricks and gadgets.
Sunday I got up and baked a couple of squashes. one pumpkin and one speghetti. Then I let the pumpkin puree cool and I made my once a year fresh pumpkin fudge. Its a great upper arm workout since you end up stirring constantly for 45 minutes or so. I planned the rest of our "Just you and me Babe" thanksgiving menu while enjoying 3 ciders for the whole day.
had a cognac right before bed to dull the pain of the Bronco's giving away the "W".
Who knows what today will bring.0 -
Tonight & tomorrow I plan on having all 0's...but since I don't have work on Thursday, I think I may pick up some wine or some beers after the gym Wednesday night!! Thursday my hubs & I are eating dinner at my Dad's and then we're going to my husband's hometown afterward (which is 2.5 hours away)...so we'll get there about 9:30pm. Woo hoo......0

I finished my open cider from Sunday last night. So barely 1. I have to finish laundry and pack tonight and won't be home till 6:30 so I'm not sure there's time to drink! Have a nice Thanksgiving lushes. I'll be gone till next Tuesday!0

"I'm not sure there's time to drink"...Ashley...who are you
Packing is the perfect opportunity for a drink :drinker:
Worked from home this morning because I was waiting for the stove repair guy, got here about about 1 and have been swamped since! I was "working"...(well I did do some stuff for work but also some home stuff which included cleaning the top floor and basement) but *kitten* hit the fan when I got in....good timing I guess, but honeslty wish I just took a personal day..oh well!!!
Have a glass of wine last night and will most likely have some more tonight or vodka or something :happy:0 -
Oh and Ashley, have a fabulous and safe trip :happy:0

Went to hot yoga for the first time in the LONG time last night! I forgot how much I enjoy it & feel so great afterwards...not to mention I slept like a baby! The yoga studio posted on their site today that for Black Friday you could buy 5 classes & get 2 free for $50, so I did it! Now I have 7 classes I can go to! Pretty excited!!!
Last night was a 0, and tonight will be too. Tomorrow will probably be a different story...:drinker:0 -
Bgrune - I miss yoga so much! You've inspired me to look around for deals around me.
I had a 0 last night and will likely have another tonight. I've been fighting off a nasty cold/cough for over a week now, and I can't imagine drinking will help. Wednesday night is our annual "Thanksgiving Eve" get together my friends have every year, so will probably kick back a few cocktails then.
Happy Thanksgiving if I don't get back on here before!0 -
Ram, I used to go ALL OF THE TIME, and then just quit. Last night I just remembered how much I love it & I cannot wait to go to more classes. I was very proud of myself cause I was able to do some of the things that I wasn't last time I went to a yoga class! So, YAY! I hope that you start feeling better & get to enjoy some cocktails on your Thanksgiving Eve. That sounds like a wonderful tradition!0

Makin me think I should really try hot yoga!
Sunday=0
Monday=0
Last night I had popcorn and opted out of the wine and chocolate. We'll see how I feel about it tonight...0 -
Like some of the others on the thread I have been fighting off a "bug". Nothing big but it has drained my energy and made it difficult to get rest.
Big day here tomorrow as we will host 15 family members for thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving all. Eat, drink, and be merry!0 -
Happy Thanksgiving lushes! Getting my big bear hug from the son today..woohoo!0
-
It is finally Wednesday! So happy for a 4 day weekend!! I need to workout tonight, but my body is hurting from hot yoga the other night. Wowee. But it's a good burn. LOL.
Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!! Drink lots and enjoy wonderful food!! 0 -
Well my class was canceled so I found time to drink half a bottle of red after all! Took the long way to NC to avoid WV, so our usual 8 hour trip is turning into almost 10. Boo. About 3 hours out...... Gobble gobble.0

Had the wine last night, sure to have much beer at the hockey game tonight-go Avs, and happy Turkey day to the Lushes in the States!0

Yesterday's Thanksgiving went great. Hardly any leftovers (I don't like leftovers so I love that there weren't many) and hardly any mess today, just a couple plates and glasses that will go in the dishwasher once I clear it out. Today has been very lazy but that's what the day in between Thanksgiving's is for right? Especially a dark, cold and rainy one. Tomorrow we go to my sister in law's boyfriends parents house for dinner which will be a change and should be fun
More gifts are coming in so I guess I should get wrapping!! Not tonight though haha. I skipped Monday and yesterday for work outs so I would really like to get up off my butt and put an hour on the bike in tonight. My nail lady asked me how far along I was in my pregnancy and her jaw just about dropped to the floor when I said 5 months. She said I don't look it at all. I said thanks but wasn't really sure if that was a compliment or not
I'll take it as a complement, I guess having a normal appetite instead of pregnant one and being able to still work out has helped with keeping the weight gain under control
SoCal so happy you have your boy home
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving tomorrow lushes!! 0 -
The directions said to make sure I let the turkey chill in the sink for a few hours.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Bahahaha my husband showed me this picture the other day.
Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We are lucky enough to have 2, it's definitely one of my favorite if not my favorite week of the year =]
Tomorrow we are going to start cleaning our spare bedrooms. You would think that since Monday is my birthday we'd be doing something fun this weekend instead of cleaning but no haha. Can't do anything next weekend either because husband has his annual trip to London for work but maybe a nice dinner during the week As far as cleaning I told husband he needed to choose either having an office or exercise room and he went with office so what is currently an "exercise room" is going to be cleaned out and turned into a giant walk in closet/storage room so that the other spare bedroom can be the nursery. At some point we will finally set up the office nicely but since husband hardly works from home it's not priority right now.
My biggest fur baby Eve seems to have an upset belly :ohwell: so she's getting even more spoiled than usual. Though she did give me my pregnancy pillow back so like last night I gave her my normal pillow and tucked her in under my fleece bathrobe
Have a lovely weekend everyone!0
