Happy Fourth of j.gifu.gifl.gify.gif!!!!

Okay I haven't been posting much. I haven't been moderating much.

It is summer and that means BBQ's and libations. I hope you all have an awesome July.



Bodi now walks and runs like a drunken dog. But he is walking and trying to run. He falls over and his legs are crossed alot. He reminds me of when I used to stagger home after too much fun. :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    Pretty sure I've been drunk for the past 2 months and now we're on a cruise ship sailing to Bermuda so drunkenness continues :drinker:

    We had dinner last night and then Kyle got dessert and the guy asked why only one dessert and I said I didn't like dessert. Couldn't help but tear up after because the only time I did like dessert was when I was pregnant with the little one :cry: she adored when I haddessert.

    I'll try to check in now and then.

    Hope everyone is well :flowerforyou:

    I was a huge lush this weekend...

    Sunday- wine at my future sis in laws shower and then more wine at a friends house afterwards

    This week I am not thinking zeros will happen....

    Hi lushes...

    Sunday, 1 Mich Golden Light - almost had 2 and then refrained
    Monday, 0
    Tuesday, 0

    I think I have a little GI bleed thing going on after all the ibuprofen and prednisone. I swear it's one thing after another. So, I will definitely have to ease up until the symptoms go away - even tho, that Italian nitro sausage is calling my name and I am drooling for it.

    Kat - I am blowing hugs and kisses your way - make sure you catch them.

    Sydney - Walk much sober? I had to throw one in there, right? Heal up quickly

    We are doing tarpon springs, fl for a week with my family, then Len and I are flying down to key west for 2 days, then driving up the coast and spending a night in south beach before heading home. We took off the day after we get home, so we will brew a beer, bottle a beer and hit our favorite beer bar :bigsmile: Let the good times roll!!!
    Where are you goin???

    Kat, I'll be thinking about you! Hope you enjoy your vacation!

    Monday - 0
    Tuesday - 1 bottle of wine, it was delish!
    Wednesday - 0
    Thursday - probably way too many...going to be hanging out with my best girlfriend, her hubs & my hubs! It'll be fun!
    Friday - another day of way too many....but it'll be the 4th!!

    Really ready for this week to be over already! We don't have off tomorrow, so I have to work until about 3 or so, I'm pretty disappointed. After I get off work, hubs & I will be heading to his hometown. Fun fun...:grumble:

    Sounds like lots of fun Kate!! Hope the weather is perfect for you.

    We're just heading up the coast to Newport Beach..spending the 4th with friends...watching the fireworks off the Queen Mary. Basically just eating and drinking a ton. :drinker:

    Hi Guys,

    I'm new here. Just like you, I like my booze...trying to lose a few pounds before a long vacation. I hardly ate anything today, and I worked out. I'm craving a vodka/soda.

    Ahh Syd, that sounds like a perfect time!!! ENJOY!! xo

    Welcome dmlover!!!!! Great group of peeps here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Thursday-not really sure. I made a point not to look in the freezer for vodka, because I would convince myself to stop at the store if we had none. So if I get home from the gym and there is some left, it will be a treat, if there is none then I saved myself some calories!!!

    The scale has been great this week, but I have been keeping my deficit REALLY high because I had an almost 4000 calorie day sunday, and know I will have at least that many tomorrow and saturday (I do a weekly average...only way I have been able to lose, instead of doing day to day, cause I have no moderation on the weekends and always wondered why I didn't lose :huh: ...anywhos)!!! I am sure that is why the scale is so low...like a number I haven't seen in like 3 years low....I'm sure I will even it out over the weekend!!!! :drinker:

    Boss says we can leave a tad early today, so Len and I will hit the gym and pack for the weekend, so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Have a great 4th everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I had a zero last night. I had stomach issues and nothing sounded good at all. Now let the 3 day weekend begin!!!!!

    to all of you vacationing I say "have a good time:grumble: " and I am waving with one finger. (just kidding:tongue: )

    I will hanging out at home trying to calm my boys down. They really don't like fireworks.

    nisijam5 Posts: 9,964 Member
    Kat - love that you guys hit the gym before heading out.

    Mama - I worked today so I understand the finger mentality. I also picked up tomorrow and Sunday for computer support and it is lucrative at the moment to do so.

    Lots of drinks yesterday and many today - just have to go to bed early.

    Thanks all :heart: it was a nice relaxing vacation. We definitely needed to get away but it is damn good to be home. Since we cruised out of New York we were home before 11 :smile: we picked up the beasts and are now having some last day of vacation beers while being lazy :drinker:

    Mama Lush I hope you're feeling better :flowerforyou: tummy troubles are no fun at all.

    Syd I hope you're healing quickly :heart:

    Welcome dm, as was said already this is one amazing group of people :heart: :heart:

    Nisi I hope you're alright and things settle down for you soon :flowerforyou:

    Kate have a great vacation!!!

    We have our annual beach trip to NC in August so tomorrow I'm starting a 2 week cleanse and getting back to work outs and healthy eats while shooting for my first zeros in almost 3 months :noway:

    Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend!! :glasses:

    DRINK, DRANK, DRUNK!!!!!!!!!!!!! :drinker: Woo, fun weekend!!! Too short!!!! We had a GREAT time with family. Friday was really crappy and rained most of the day so we headed over to Cape May Brewery then over to Len's aunts for dinner, it cleared up later in the day so it was great!!!
    Saturday, Len and I walked about 5 miles into Cape May and have brunch, then off to the dock for family fun!! We got home super early yesterday morning, about 10:30 and recovered on the couch for a bit before making some daquiris and then some vanilla vodka with diet root beers!!
    It was fun and now all I have to do is get through this week then VACATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Kate, sounds like you had a great 4th of July weekend!! Sounds like fun...then off to vacation?! Lucky girl!

    My weekend was actually way better than I expected! Lots of fun and family time (with the in-laws). We had a great time! But it was nice to come home on Saturday night and recover yesterday. I'm so exhausted today though, it is crazy!!! I'll be going home to lounge once I get off work. Hopefully I can get back on track with my workouts tomorrow, but for tonight I'll just not eat too much :)

    I was not pleased with the scale this morning. :noway:
    Amazing mini vacay...tons of great food, drink and company.
    Back to a routine this week....the toe should be able to handle some exercise.

    I brought the art of being lazy and accomplishing absolutely nothing to an all time high this weekend:noway: . About halfway thru the day yesterday Doug and I both talked about how disgusted we were with ourselves:angry: for being such sloths. Sooo...

    I must start a new pattern and trend. I am going to be motivated when I get home and try to avoid the lazy juice for a while:cry: . That being said I always have great ideas at work and on the way to work but they seem to dissapear when I get home. I have made a list of things that have to get done. if I get them all done then I can reward myself. The list is long. And no juice until it is all done. Wish me luck.


    I am glad you all had a good 4th. :drinker: :drinker:

    I know, right?? What happens on the drive home. Where's Dr. Oz on that one? Or, Dr. Phil? Or, AA?

    Day one was a great success. I accomplished everything on my list. I had time to play on the computer but I didn't feel like it. I was allowed one drink but I didn't feel like it. I may be on to something here.

    Monday = 0

    I am excited for today because this list thing is working for me.

    Good job, Mama

    Sunday, 3 vodka sodas & 2 margaritas
    Monday, 2 - 32 oz Dos Equis (5.33 total) and 3 Scooby Snacks and 3 lite beers - celebrating my first day off in a long time.

    Total: 14

    Zeros going forward. The scale was cruel and to-the-point this morning.

    So yesterday would have been an excuse to drink as the little one would have been 3 months old. She was born on Monday the 7th and yesterday would have been 3 months on Monday the 7th. Weird how dates work out. Anyway I was actually in really good spirits, I'm sure Lily had something to do with that :heart: I got lots done around the house and....

    Monday - 0!!!!!!! Yes, the first zero I've had in three months! :noway:

    I'll be right there with everyone going for zeros tonight too :smile:
