    Hello! This weekend was pretty lushy for me too!! Friday night...went out for pizza and beers with my hubby (had 3 beers at dinner), then stopped at the liquor store on the way home...had a bottle of wine & a couple of more beers after that. LOL. Then we slept in pretty late on Saturday morning...til about 11:30...finally got up and went out to lunch...then came home and snoozed the rest of the day. LAZY BUMS! I made dinner on Saturday night and had 2 glasses of wine & 1 beer. Then last night I had a large glass of wine & 3 beers. Tonight - Friday I plan on having all 0's! :)

    Hey, lushes...

    I was lushy this weekend, imagine that!!

    Friday - Drank at gf #1 house and then went to gf #2 house.
    Saturday - Drank at the casino while trying to preserve my money. I was not successful with either.

    SoCal, hope that you're birthday rocked. It sounds like hubs treated you nice.

    I blew my zero. My girlfriend came over because she was bored. In tow, was a bottle of wine and then we opened another. I am sure that I had 1 full bottle - but, drank 30 oz of water between.

    I woke up at 4:17 this morning and could not fall asleep - so, I got up and started packing and doing more laundry. I feel like we are never going to be ready.

    Kettlebells tonight and I am sure to die. Plus, I have to treadmill because I have that 1/2 marathon that I am not prepared to run. Plan is to be able to run 5 to 6 miles and walk the rest if need be. I am hoping that the resilient human spirit surfaces on that day.

    0 last night. Had a crappy day but didn't drown my sorrows in booze. I drowned them in patio furniture shopping and frozen yogurt instead. Still in a bit of a funk so who knows how that may affect my drinking tonight. I'm thinking another 0.

    Thought I would check in and see how all my lushes are doing, sounds like everyone is doing pretty well.

    Thank you all for the well wishes :heart:

    I've certainly come back to the lush side with a passion, I need to pull back at some point but probably not anytime soon.

    Hope everyone is having a good week and better weather than here, it's supposed to be cloudy/rainy all week :frown:

    I have been having a great time. Yesterday we drove south and stayed at a very nice Marriott. Awesome meal with wine and cognac with dessert after3 rum runners by the pool. Today we have arrived at the cutest retro place in Key West. Not sure wat dinner will bring but I am currently nursing a pinkgreyhound since that is what's in our room.
    Thinking of you all especially Kat.
    Proud mom moment Holly completed a 10 mile tough mudder and attempted every obstacle. She only failed few.

    LUSH ON MY FRIENDS!

    Hi Kat. Thanks for checking in. :flowerforyou:

    I've had 0's Monday and Tuesday. Might as well try for Wednesday at least and maybe Thursday at this point. Really trying to get some poundage off. I *may* try for a week or two booze free after Derby, or I may just limit drinking to weekends for a little while. I've been drinking more than I should and the scale is showing and I feel icky.

    On a positive note, I went to the dr., ended up having a full physical including blood work. I had had three strong cocktails the night before and all my bloodwork came back great! Yay! My liver still works!

    Hey, there, Kat! xoxox

    I went with my cousin to visit my mom and sister, it was a little lushy, we did a couple of winery tour/tastings. Fingerlakes area, the whites are better than the reds and some of them were just bad. I only poured out one, it tasted like gasoline.

    Friday=travel day, 1 bloody, 1 beer in flight, 1 with dinner
    Saturday=wine tastings-3 flights, one beer at dinner
    Sunday=2 bud light tall boys
    Monday=3 yuenglings (we don't have them in Colorado, I like them)
    Tuesday=2 drinks (1 bloody and one beer at the airport)

    Hi Kat! So happy you've checked in. XOXO :heart:

    Robin, sounds like you're having a wonderful time in Key West! Super jealous! I would love to go there! I'm trying to think of somewhere fun and not too $$$ for my hubby & I's 3 year wedding anniversary in September. I told him he was in charge of planning it this time around...but that seems to be going no where...so I'll do it!! I'm a control freak anyway.

    Syd, sounds like you've had an awesome vacation as well! I would love to be anywhere but Kansas! Our weather sucks & it's COLD. Cannot believe tomorrow is May 1 & this morning it was 35 degrees outside. UGH.

    come to san diego, bridget! I can recommend a few places. :wink:

    it's 87 degrees here in palm springs. but it's a dry heat (heh...the famous desert saying)

    actually theres a nice breeze. it doesn't feel very hot. or maybe it's the vodka. The pool bartenders recognized me from previous visits. I don't know if I should feel flattered or embarassed lol.:drinker:

    60 minute massage tomorrow before heading home. It's time to get back to reality. :ohwell:

    W - I decided to have a beer (312) and a cockatil of strawberry vodka and muddled fresh raspberries. It was sort of like a dessert.

    Who am I kidding? It's Derby week in Louisville, I'm off work and going to the track tomorrow, and I'll be working on my fascinator head piece tonight. I'm drinking.

    Plus I lost a pound over the last 2 weeks, so that's something to celebrate.

    Bridget, I like to control planning too, hahaha! That way I can guarantee I'm not disappointed!!!

    Congrats on the lost lb Ashley!!!! My scale was pretty nice to me last weekend, let's see if it stuck!!

    Thursday-I should probably go with a zero. But Len just bought a bottle of grape vodka and its gonna be in the 70's, so we shall see.

    We got like 5in of rain yesterday and everything is flooded. It took me 1 1/2 to get to work, which usually takes 30mins....detours, detours, detours!!!! Outrageous!!! Most of the rivers have crested so hopefully the ride home isn't too bad!

    I was in a terrible mood last night for some reason, that's why I had a beer.
    I don't even know if I will try for 0s this week...
