    Sunday - 2 beers, 1/2 glass of wine and I think maybe 6 vodkas?

    Total: 8.5

    I'll be heading to Chicago this week so I am sure to be lushy since there are 2 parties to attend. I am sure the number will be horrendous.

    I'm down with the coupons as well!! I love a good deal.

    Soo.....I now work at a winery! I love my job but not drinking is proving to be truly challenging. Trying to figure out how to make all of this work. I guess this is me starting! Not planning on any drinks tonight. My goal is only 5 drinks this week... Am I setting myself up for disaster?

    Hi LostAlyKat - welcome to the lushy group!! 5 a week would definitely be self control in my book and on this thread :laugh:

    Sydney - have you let him go yet? Boy in one arm and drinks in the other.

    Chole, I heard it's 90!! But, I don't care - I kind of like the smoggy, humidity of the city. I have a wedding, a grad party and possible a Cubs game in the Box!! Drinks and fun will be abundant everywhere.

    Robin - THIS.IS.GOOD. I am so happy for Bodi, Doug and you. Nothing beats a good nurse...hands down, and that you were.

    I broke down and went to the doctor to get some codeine syrup which I gag down. How the hell do people drink that stuff.

    I have been dabbling with jogging again....its been almost 2yrs since I injured my knee and after year 1 and trying to jog i decided I HATED it (mostly because of uncomfortableness and pain), but decided to give it another go......So I got stuck on the treadmill for 45mins after our circuits this morning because the step mills and ellipticals were all taken. I did 30mins of 1:1 intervals then jogged the final 15mins WHAT...I am so proud of me :drinker: :laugh:

    haha Kim..nope!! I didn't even care that all his buddies were here when I randomly decided to give him a huge hug and kiss. HE just rolls his eyes. :wink:

    ROBIN...great news!!! I'm so happy for you

    and Katie...WOOHOO! I remember when your knee injury happened..I can't believe it's been 2 years! I'm glad you're back at it and feeling good.

    I'm plugging along. 1 glass of wine last night. Probably another tonight. The boy requested my pasta and meatballs...the sauce will be on the stove most of the day and of course that requires some red wine. :drinker:

    Well yesterday started with day drinking in the sun after a run. I was setting myself up for disaster then we were supposed to have a dinner/game party with friends but I was pretty drunk by the time my husband got home. He was not happy. Ugh part of me feels like I just don't have any control and that I should stop completely for a while. Help!!

    Katie?- not sure if I can call you that... congrats on the running.

    I did martini and mani last night, then had a slice of pizza and a beer next door to the beauty bar, and then I went home and drank two more...

    Girls are coming over tonight, will probably have some beers...

    Tomorrow a fundraiser at a brewery, so more beers, and then, to the mountains for a rehearsal dinner Friday and wedding Saturday. Should be fun!

    I've be exercising though...so I haven't gained anything..but I'm not losing those 5 lbs I'm still carrying from the last few months. :sad:

    I feel your pain. I lost all the pregnancy weight a while ago but I'm having trouble with the 15 pounds I gained before getting pregnant =\ then again my main food group for the last 2 months has been booze. Definitely living up to the lush name =| I am back to working out though, however I have yet to do my 5 days straight yet. I've bumped it up to an hour though. I know it'll take time though but I'm not a very patient person.

    Mama lush I'm so happy your boy is doing better :heart:

    Good job in the zeros to those able to achieve them :flowerforyou: I'm upholding my lush card at the moment but will try for a zero atssome point, I know that would help with the weight but, eh.

    Hope everyone is having a nice summer so far :smile: we went from winter to summer. Our seasons are all messed up, but I'll take hot and sunny :glasses:

    Sunday - 2 beers, 1/2 glass of wine and I think maybe 6 vodkas?
    Monday, 0
    Tuesday, 0
    Wednesday, 0
    Thursday, ??? Arrive in Chicago - I will try very, very hard to not drink
    Friday, Wedding - with open bar I am hoping!!
    Saturday, Possible Cubs game in the box means free **** to drink and then I feel like I have to take full advantage. Train means that I don't have to worry about driving.
    Sunday, Grad Party, open bar for sure.

    Total: 8.5

    Goal: Get home without gaining 10 lbs.

    AlyKat - sorry that hubs interfered with a good buzz. This is a good board for support and no judgment. If you feel like you need to stop for a while, then do it. If you want to give yourself a day where you just get hammered, plan for it and do it.

    Amy & Kat - as always, lots planned for the weekends.

    I might give in tomorrow, but we shall see! It seems like this week is dragging. Looking forward to an at home weekend. Beer brewing, pretzel making, booze drinking weekend :bigsmile:

    So I still have not started my post vacation detox. Mike is thinking about looking for a new job, his company is not doing great plus my boss is crazy, so all that is giving me major anxiety.

    Monday- sangria and beer with lunch and about a half a bottle of red after dinner
    Tuesday- 5 oz red
    Wednesday-5 oz red

    Tonight- the bottle of red is gone, so I will try to not open anything....

    No big plans this weekend. A three year olds bday party Saturday afternoon, maybe some beers, his parents like to drink :drinker: And then maybe heading to the lake on Sunday for a bit and I am sure will have a few cocktails. Have a nice weekend everyone!

    So today marks 12 years my Gramp has been gone. I can't believe how much time has passed. It's just his kind of day, sunny and warm =] so I'm spending it with my mom and Gram. I told him I hope he and Lily are having a good time up there :heart: :heart:

    Hope everyone is having a nice Friday so far and that you have a wonderful weekend :flowerforyou:

    sunshine and a craving for mexican food led to a lot of watermelon margaritas and white wine. I made really good rellenos and Doug did awesome skirt steak tacos. It was a good weekend. Bodi is still improving. the accupunture really seems to help him. As long as we go really slow he can get all 4 legs working. His balance is not there yet so we hold him steady by his tail. He wants to run and play so bad. This is driving us all crazy.
