Kat, like everyone else said, your strength is amazing and the charity is an amazing way to honor lily!
Kim, wishing your dad all the luck with the chemo pills!!!!!
We had a really great weekend. It felt long because we did something Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Sunday we walked to the movie tavern and got pretty sh!tty the rest of the day... it was more to help recover from the two days before. It was fun. I'm still out of sorts.... sleepy and a little cranky.
Missed the gym this morning so I will force myself to do some yoga tonight. I'm looking forward to it, but not... cause I'm lazy!!!
Not sure if I mentioned it but we found some termite swarmers in the basement so the exterminator is coming to drill holes in the ground and treat Thursday. I'll be working from home and then off Friday for good Friday, then we are hosting easter on Saturday. Only two work days left and I need a short week more than ever. I am currently at the car dealer for service....I'm bored!!!0 -
I had a much needed 0 last night. It's amazing what 24 hours will do. I feel about 100% better today than I did yesterday. I too forced myself to work out when I got home, and between that, eating sensibly and drinking a crap load of water, most of my lushy bloat is gone today. I may try for 0's till Thursday. Plus the weather is crap. There were actually some flurries when I left this morning.0

Up six pounds from a few weeks ago. :grumble:
I need to give myself a reboot in the behind and get serious logging again. My evenings are the worst where I eat everything in sight. Gotta get off this carb kick I have been on.
Good to see so many of you doing well with the zeros. I could use some myself.0 -

Went to the tulip festival yesterday. This is a Washington thing all month where you drive around an look at all the tulip, daffodil and iris fields in Skagit Valley (Northern Western Washington Farm country) The massive fields of color are amazing. We were going to go on Sunday but eveyone and their mother were too, so we decided to go after work yesterday. (we get off pretty early) It was georgeous. The weather was still nice. Stop at Buffalo Wild Wings on the way home and got wings to go and I proceeded to drink a bottle of white once we were home. It was fun and good to get out.
Today is overcast and drizzly and I have a ton of errands to run. Getting ready for the big Florida vacay. I forgot to renew my car tabs so I am in a mad panic.
Take care lushes.0 -
Hi Lushies...I've been so BAD!! WITH!! THE!! LUSHINESS!!
Today will be my first zero in a long, long time. Of course, weight is up as well.
We officially put our house on the market May 1st - only 2 weeks to pull it all together. We have all the new doors in the bedrooms and the boy's closet doors. Nearly 1/2 of the painting is down and now it's just time to keep de-cluttering and deep cleaning. I'll steam clean the carpets next week.
I think if we sell this quickly enough that we will have to move to a temporary location while ours is being built...I certainly hope this all worth it in the end.0 -
Good luck with all the last minute stuff Kim!!!!!

Moving/selling a house is a PITA. Good luck, Kim. So far my process has gone fairly smoothly but I still wake up in the middle of the night thinking about stuff I need to do. :grumble:

I'll probably drink everyday this week, today is my Friday!0 -
Really nice looking place! All those decisions would fry my brain too! I've been trying to decide on flooring in the kitchen since we moved in 5 years ago and I thought I wanted tile but my mom got laminate and likes it very much, my sister said she wouldn't do tile again. Now we are just looking at vinyl...
Wednesday=1 drink0 -
Love the house Kim- nice open lay out!
Asj- I agree with your sister about the tile. We had it in our old house. The grout tends to get stained even if you seal it. We put hardwoods in out new house (kitchen) and vinyl in the bathrooms.0 -
Well....not all 0's as planned, but not too bad.
M - 0
T - a cocktail because we had to pay $2,000 in taxes.
W - three cocktails because I was off, it was sunny, and my husband went out for drinks with a friend. So there.
And then I went to the dr. today and we decided to do a full physical, including bloodwork which I have not had done in probably 3-4 years.
It's going to be really nice tonight. I'll probably end up drinking..... I can still keep it under 19 no problem. I just need to keep my drinking in check over the weekend.0 -
Pretty house, kim! so exciting.
I had some red wine last night..probably the same tonight. I'm moderating well this week and getting a lot done with the house in escrow... so I feel pretty good.0 -
Well I intended to drink last night, but I called Eric on the way home from my circuits class after work to see if he wanted me to get wine. He was frustrated with the kid and said he wasn't drinking. OK??..... SO I came home, realized there was about 1/4 bottle of riesling my friend left Saturday, so poured it after dinner. Drank maybe half and couldn't stomach the rest. I really don't like sweet wine. So I ate some of my daughter's Easter candy instead.

Not a bad week. And it if affecting my weight loss in a good way so I'm going to try to keep it up. Happy Friday!0 -

Last night I had the 3 beers I accounted for.
Sunday=0 drinks
Monday=3.5 drinks
Tuesday=0 drinks
Wednesday=1 drink

We owed too, sucks:grumble:0 -

What really sucks is the only reason we paid is that we just moved some mutual funds into a better fund with a new bank (but had to sell shares). So we didn't even really get that extra income the IRS says we got. Well I mean we've made money, but nothing we are seeing now. Boo.0 -

Gary - we went with the rambler or ranch because of the single level layout. We are getting old and the stairs will be a pain in the *kitten*. Right now, we are in a four-level split.
Amy - I agree with Gary on the tile as a no go. It's cold, expensive to lay and the grout does get old. We are only putting tile on the shower walls and surrounding the tub. We are putting LVT on the bathroom floors because tile is cold in the winter. The mud room is getting it because it is cheaper than tile and looks just as elegant. LVT is Luxury Vinyl tile which looks like tile and has grouting in-between. Maybe that would work for you.
OK, so yesterday was day 3 of no drinking and I was josin' until 1 in the morning tossing and turning and battling a cold. I called work and asked for a low-census day which I was able to get. I will not make the same mistake - 4 glasses of wine tonight.
Oh, and I attacked the Easter candy this evening...0 -

Hi lushes. I am going with tile in my kitchen that looks like wood. I have to go that way because of all the water and the dogs. the laminate didn't hold up well to the water around our doors.
I have been drinking every night. It will stop after vacation. on Wednesday winging my way across the country. our son Alex is flying up to house/dog sit since he isn't working right now.
So much to do today to get ready for him to come. there will be alcohol to help me get thru the cleaning. :grumble:0
