    Day two involved cleaning bathrooms. I really hate cleaning bathrooms and so I celebrated with ONE glass of red wine when I got them all cleaned. :bigsmile: Scale is heading in the right direction and my BP was 119/77 this morning. I am finally back in the normal range. This "get my life back in control" plan seems to be working.

    Kim, you are great at getting zeros when you need them.
    Kat, great job!!!
    Chloe, awesome moderation
    Kate, you rock the zeros
    Amy, good job!

    The big news today is that Bodi wagged. Yup he intentionally wagged his tail. He held it up and wagged. :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    Going out for pizza for my mom's bday tonight, so probably some wine, or maybe beer...I think I am just making up for being preggo (and not being able to drink) last summer with all this drinking this summer!

    ^^ Haven't seen that many zeros in a row in quite a while! However, tonight I know I'll have at least 2 drinks at drink with my girlfriend. It's $5 martini night at the restaurant right down the street from my house!! Can't pass that up!

    I've officially decided that drinking in the summer is way more prevalent than the winter. I would be in big trouble if I lived in a warmer state.

    I've lost track this week, although yesterday was a zero.

    It's been over a month since I've last exercised. So, yesterday, I went to a new class - 30 min. of spinning and 30 min of strength. To top it off, the half marathon that I was supposed to be motivated by - I've changed to the 5K. LOSER!! :blushing:

    Anyway, warrior dash is on Saturday which I am not prepared for either.

    You are not a loser. Just a realist. Have fun warrior dashing. I committed to my son Alex and to saughter Holly that we will do the one up here next year and I will fly them both up to do it with me.

    Plus a work out each day as well, today's was late but I did it. Not sure what tomorrow holds but we're going to a concert Saturday and tailgating during the day so tomorrow should be low key. Going to try and keep things in moderation on Saturday. It's been feeling good getting 0's and working out.

    Hope everyone is having a nice Thursday and if you're not just remember tomorrow is Friday :smile:

    Friday - split a bottle of wine with husband at dinner, though he drank most of it because I didn't like it. Then we moved over to the bar and I had a beer, glass of wine and a martini our buddy at the restaurant made me. Had water before bed and woke up feeling great :smile:
    Saturday - Dave Matthews concert. Had a beer and two glasses of bubbly before and two 24oz beers at the venue. Got home had some water and feel great today too :smile:

    I like the zeros but also like that I was able to moderate and avoid being hungover all weekend. Not sure what today has in store but it's sunny and hot so there could be beers, margs or just water.

    Hope everyone is having a good weekend :glasses:

    Good for you Kat! That always seems to be my problem, if I do have zeros all week then I totally end up overdoing it on the weekend.

    Lushy weekend as usual for this girl....

    Going to try for some zeros this week. There is no open wine at my house right now. So that's a good start to the week.

    Way to go, Kat! I need to moderate like that on the weekends...

    My weekend consisted of lots of beer...which is not surprising!

    Planning to have all 0's this week until Friday! Then maybe I'll try to moderate, but that is easier said then done :tongue:

    Between the broken toe and all the summer fun...I've totally lapsed on exercise and moderation.

    The toe is finally feeling better enough to start up my workouts again...so that's my #1 goal for this week. Moderating on the booze would be good too...we'll see how that goes.

    I was moderate on Friday, had two beers at the restaurant with dinner, came home and mixed 8 oz of red with club soda to sip while catching up on the Leftovers and The Bridge season 2. Really liking both of those...

    But Saturday went to my husband's show and it was a brewery and I had 5-had to try everything I guess, so I was too hungover to exercise Sunday and watched the World Cup and had a bloody mary and 3 beers. Tecate light is only 95 cals! that must be a seriously low alcohol content beer!

    Hi lushes - I did Warrior Dash on Saturday and worked a 12 yesterday. Went out for drinks with hubs afterward and had 3 flir-tinis which was probably more like 6. They poured the vodka for a very long time it seems. Then, because that wasn't enough, I had a Coor's light when I got home.

    Sunday, 7
    Monday, 0
    Tuesday, 0
    Wednesday, 0
    Thursday, 0
    Friday, 0
    Saturday, probably
    Sunday, probably

    I'm going to save my liquor for the weekend. I have the Rock-n-Roll thing in Chicago which I bagged on but still doing the 5K.

    OK, now I need to get some cleaning done and pack for the weekend. I wish Kat was here!! You seem so good about cleaning. I am over it.

    Very lushy weekend. We are having very warm weather. It is too hot to do much so I sit and drink. :wink:

    I will attempt moderation and accomplishing my list agian this week. I did fine until Friday then I was back to my old self. I over did it yesterday and I don't feel all that great today. And did I mention it is hot?

    It's good to see so much lushing and moderating.

    So far a gloomy week. Heavy rain and some thunder last night which I adore, especially on a warm summer night :smile: Cloudy again today with the possibility of thunderstorms :happy: it's always nice relaxing and listening to the rain with a drink but...

    Monday - 0

    Plan is for another zero tonight. Going to actually get out of the house and run some errands as well as do a little shopping :glasses:

    Good luck to those going for zeros or moderation and cheers to those upholding their lush cards! :drinker:
