    I drank all weekend (including Sunday which I try not to do) but was only 2 over my 19 weekly goal. I ate a lot of candy though so was over calories for the week. Oh well....clean it up. I'd like to try for 0's Monday and Tuesday, but it's really nice here and there is a bottle of Toad Hollow rose' (one of my faves) in the fridge. I drank mostly liquor this weekend and that seems to help out. I have to consciously make a drink instead of just topping of my glass of wine.....over and over and over again. Plus vodka is cheaper and has less calories. I was mixing with grapefruit beer this weekend. Yum!

    Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend!! I'm exhausted!
    I worked from home thursday and was off friday! I cleaned all day thursday, then Thursday night Len picked up some 6pks we had two each, then we walked to ABC brewpub and had 3 beers, then another at home. I was pretty drunk. Got up later than I hoped but still made it to the gym friday. Then prepped food all day. Len came home from work early so we started drinking cherry vodka and sprite....we almost finished an entire big bottle of vodka :huh: Got up saturday went for a little (and very slow) walk before we got the house ready for guests. Saturday was very successful and a lot of fun. I had tons of champagne, followed by pineapple vodkas and then vodka tonics. I passed out around midnight and felt like *kitten* all day yesterday and ate all the food!!! We woke up yesterday and finished the remaining champagne and that was it for the day!
    I am still hurting today and definitely going for a zeros the next couple of days.

    I forgot I was the only one in the office today....today will be VERY unproductive :wink:

    I have an appointment from 1 to 5 today to pick out new colors for the new house. I am sure to be brain-fried by the end. Here's a pic of the model if anyone is interested.

    I drank a lot this weekend.

    I'm going to go for 0's for most (all?) of the week. Next week is vacation and my liver needs a rest.

    Well, I've been lushy and not exercising - but, today was 70'ish and I did attempt to go for a run outside. I felt out of shape and miserable. I have no idea how I am going to do a 1/2 marathon but I need to buckle down and make that my priority.

    The house colors are all done and most of the electrical is laid out. Next, we meet with the low voltage people and I think the only thing we are going to do is wire for speakers throughout the house.

    I have computer training at work this Thursday and Friday - so, it will be immensely boring days for sure.

    10 days until we list our house. Our progress is slow although Ron is busting his *kitten* with all the "projects". He knocked out the all the staining of the doors and they turned out perfect. 2 more rooms to paint, install the new kitchen counter and then we must CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN. Best part is, the leaves are starting to bloom and our pics will have some nice foliage because we live on a park and that is our best selling feature - seclusion :bigsmile:

    I hope that all who believe had a blessed Easter...and, lots of champagne :happy:

    0 last night. The Toad Hollow remains closed in the fridge. I may try for another 0 tonight, but Tuesdays are hard because I'm off Wednesdays. We're going to a free concert on the waterfront tomorrow night, so I'll be drinking then. I may try to hold off till Wednesday.

    I had this half bottle of white wine going bad in the fridge so I drank that, but it fit with my cals and I stopped, didn't move on to beer or anything.
    I might go for 0s tonight but I don't know. I have the house to myself and planning on a run so I will have some extra calories to burn, while I watch my new guilty pleasure-Ink Master! I am fascinated by that show...

    Hello lushes!! I feel like I haven't checked in forever! Hope you're all doing well!

    I haven't drank anything since Saturday night...and even then I only had like 3 beers. I've been battling allergies/acute bronchitis since Sunday morning, so I've been downing water like it is going out of style!! Finally got some antibiotics though & some codein to help me sleep and not cough all night...so I'm on the mend! I think I'll be 100% by Friday!!

    I went for a little walk last night (1.5 miles). I might go to the Y tonight, but that depends on how I feel by 5o'clock. Otherwise, I'll just go home & lounge about with my meds!

    Happy Hump Day!!
