Happy August Everyone.
I am hoping to feel re energized and tackle August head on. Enjoying the end of Summer and all that entails. No guilt life is too short and too precious.

This makes me sad.... I can't believe summer is almost over
Monday- 1 beer 10 oz red
Tuesday- 5 oz red
Wednesday- 5 oz white
Thursday- 15 oz white
Friday- Not sure, but definitely some drinks while catching up on shows. We recently got into House of Cards
No plans for Saturday. Thinking maybe some time by the pool and then maybe a date night with Mike and the kiddo. Sunday we have a 2 year olds bday party, but the parents like to drink, so I am sure I will have a couple beers or cocktails.0 -
I honestly can't believe it's August.

Hey lushes! I have missed you. I've been on the wagon because I'm expecting baby #2 in January! But I still like to live vicariously through you all and keep up, so I'm coming back around!
Not drinking has not been as hard as I expected; seems easier than last time. The hardest was on vacation. I so wanted to have a nice mid afternoon beer buzz in the pool. And get wine drunk with my Mom and sister. :drinker: But Eric did 30 days no booze with me and has not been drinking much since so it really hasn't been that bad. I honestly hope some of the good habits stick and I cut back a little once I can drink again, but we'll see. I did have about 1/3 of a 3% grapefruit malt beverage thing last weekend. GASP! So I felt like I was imbibing when my sister and her fam were in. We're headed to see friends and swim out of town tomrorow so I may take one of those 3% bad boys along to sip on to feel like I'm drinking.
I hope you all are doing well. I've missed you!0 -
Missed you too Ashley!!!!!!!!!! Congrats again and have a great weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!0

Congrats on the baby!!
I'm looking forward to a quiet weekend. This summer thing is exhausting me.
Next week should be an opportunity for me to get back to a semi normal schedule of moderation and exercise. I need it!
Happy August everyone :drinker:0 -

Wednesday=2 frozen drinks, 1 beer
Thursday=2 glasses of red
I don't know if I will drink tonight, probably a wine spritzer or something...
August! Anniversary next week and Warrior Dash in two weeks-woohoo!0 -
I am with you guys- August! Wow! Summer is flying by!
This week has been a LOT slower than last, now that the wedding is over. It's back to counting calories and working out- and of course enjoying the nice evenings with a few drinks.
Glad to see how up-beat everyone is! I find it's contagious! :drinker:0 -
Monday AGAIN!!!!!!!!!! MEH :grumble: :laugh: I'm always sleepy come monday morning probably cause I drink too much on the weekends
Friday night, Len and I walked about 5 1/2 miles (round trip) to get some groceries. Decided to stop for a pineapple martini before heading back home....ended up having 2!!! Then we had 2 manhattans at home.
Saturday we spend the day with my family. I drove home so I took it easy. 3 vodka drinks and 2 glasses of wine...that was over 8 hours. We came home drank about 3 beers each and stayed up ENTIRELY too late playing cards, dancing and being weirdos. It was awesome :laugh:
Yesterday, we took a walk to the closer supermarket and liquor store, had some chi chi's (vodka, pineapple juice and cream of coconut blended) and some vodka tonics. You ever keep drinking because you know if you stop at a certain point you will pass out BUT get up 2 in the morning and not be able to get back to sleep...yeah so that's why I'm a bit hungover today :laugh:
It was a great weekend and I'm always so sad when they are over. BUT there is always next weekend to look forward to :bigsmile:0 -

Saturday I went to the cute little Ren Faire that we have up here in Washington. It was very hot. I did okay. 2 vodka drinks and 2 ciders and a s- load of water over the day. But the heat really got me and I was home in bed by 6:30. Yesterday I didn't feel that great. Doug fixed me a bloody Mary in the morning and I had a couple vodka rocks before trying to sleep in one of the warmest evenings in my house so far. I was not ready for Monday. I am hoping to motivate my way to being good but I am having trouble giving a darn. Note to self: pull your head out of your *kitten* and start caring!!!!!!
Have a great week lushes.0 -

DITTO! Sounds so fun.0 -
our weather has been crazy humid...we got some much needed rain which was nice.
my goal is to exercise every day this week. the broken toe is no longer an excuse.0 -
Fri - 3 drinks
Sat - 4 drinks
Sun - 7 drinks0 -
Between the fact that it's been a rough couple of weeks, husband probably won't be home for dinner at all this week and it's the week before vacation there might be drinks each night. There will definitely be work outs to balance any drinks though.
Good luck to those going for 0's or moderation.0 -
Kat, where are you kids going on vacay??
Monday-0
Plan is zeros until thursday, because we are going to a Goose Island event and then a zero friday, as well!!! That's plan :bigsmile:0 -
2 Glasses of wine which fit in due to a good day of exercise.
something similar today probably.0 -
My weekend was kinda boring. I got some lemon soda to pour in my red wine-a little "tinte de vierna" which I drank Friday and Saturday. Sunday I went to happy hour. Then finally went to Trader Joe's (it opened a few months ago but I hadn't been). I got some cookie butter-uh, yum! and beer, wine, mochi balls, chocolate...
Also, I made chia pudding last night and had that for breakfast, it was yummy!
Sunday=4 drinks
Monday=2 drinks
Not sure about tonight....0 -
Kat, where are you kids going on vacay??
Our annual trip to Top Sail NC
Monday - liquid dinner, oops.
Guessing it'll be a lushy week, what is it about the week before a vacation that just makes you not give a damn?0 -
Lol...the week after too, kat. You get in vacay mode before then it takes you a while to get out of it.
hell...I've been in vacay mode all summer and the scale shows it. But it's been so much fun :drinker:0 -
I HAVE BEEN HORRIBLE!!! Way to much anticipating/dreading girlfriend's departure which is spend lamenting over liquor.
Way too many mojitos yesterday. They crept up on me and I was slow, slow, slow today.
Tonight is a zero. Tomorrow is calorie counting and spin class.
SoCal, the scale is definitely proving a point.0 -
Monday-0
Tuesday-0
Wednesday-0
One more day before Bourbon County Event, WOOT!0 -
look at you, kate...well done!
I had wine again...2 glasses...and we grilled rib eyes that were amaaaaaazing. but I always feel alittle ucky the next morning when we eat so heavy like that.
More exercise today...and better eating. Probably another glass of wine.0 -
Well, I got a zero yesterday and tomorrow I have to work so hopefully that will mean another zero.
I am determined to drop at least 2 lbs. this week.
I went grocery shopping and have all the goodies I need to be a good girl. We spent $150 dollars on just liquor alone between liquor store and bars.
I will hold out until Friday when we go to another friend's house for apps and wine. They are a little more conservative so moderation will be there. They have a son who's 19 who just built a vineyard in their back yard this summer. It's filled out since planting in the spring; and , they want us to check it out. It kind of makes me wonder, where did I go wrong?:huh:0 -
Kate, I love all the things that you and Lenny do - have fun at bourbon-fest :drinker: :drinker:0
-
Kate, way to go with all the 0's!!! And I love reading about all the things you & Lenny do too. Sounds like you guys have a lot of fun together! So great!
Kim, $150 on liquor and bars? Sounds like me & my hubby :laugh: It's all ok though!
I try every week to hold out until Fridays for drinks, but I usually end up slipping. This week I have some 18 year reserve Jameson whiskey (on Sunday night) which my brother-in-law had bought my husband as a thank you gift for letting him live with us the past 8 months. BUT Monday & Tuesday were 0's! Tonight will be too!!
Soooo glad it is Wednesday!
