She doesn't mind the snow its just that she wishes she had a truck instead of a Focus and some more tools to deal with it. I am glad you survived.
It was a Ford Escort that he totaled...Focus is just as bad to drive in snow...she did a good job being from the desert0 -
Attended three holiday parties in a row! Avoiding the food and dessert tables is no problem, but can I help it if the guy walking around with the champagne wants to refill my glass????
Ooh no, it would be down right rude to refuse, enjoy the bubbles
I concur, you wouldn't want to hurt someone's feelings over it....0 -
On the way home from the parties I always ask my husband what the food was like and of course it always sounds wonderful.........which is why I avoid the food table! I am of the opinion that what you don't see, you can't want. (Funny how that champagne bottle is always in sight, huh?)0

My plan for not drinking last night was curtailed by my husband going on a pissy, depressive rant about our school (we teach in the same building,) the holidays, the state of public education, etc. So, I was drinking to commiserate with him. I only had 2 vodka-SF red bulls (why I drink those on school nights, I'll never know) so the calorie count wasn't major, but still. :ohwell:0
-
red bull before bed? crazy girl! I had a marg and had to help my friend with her marg, she doesn't drink like I do:)
There will be drinking tonight at my husband's office holiday party and tomorrow with my friends. Saturday I drink for free at Front Porch, they have names every day and if it's your name, you drink free, so it seems like I should do that!0 -

How fun. I would love a place like that around here.0 -
I think I drink enough of the Red Bull it doesn't impact my sleeping--as in, I think my body's used to it. I also didn't head to bed until 11 and read for a bit before I went to sleep. 5:45 came verrrrrrrry early today!
I've never been to the Front Porch (I'm in Highlands Ranch and my butt doesn't make it to Lodo very often) but it's my name night this Saturday! I should check it out!0 -
Well of course if it is your name you must go! Otherwise it would be just rude. :bigsmile: I mean they went to all that trouble of picking YOUR name.
Looks like my plan for curtailing the dwinks during the holidays has been put in place by sister in law, I get to be the DD driver from the other SIL's house to the hotel. Because heaven knows she is older than me (14 months) and the rule is the youngest drives. Except DH because even though he is younger he is a boy and of course the boys always get to drink. Okay fine, I'll drive but 1. it annoys me no end that I was "selected" and 2. you all know how incredibly boring it is to be the only sober one around a bunch of drunks. :laugh:0 -

Elmer, being the only sober one, be on the look out for those wasckally wabbits.

Oh Robin, you crack me up. :laugh: Zero drinks all week, hopefully not too many this weekend b/c Tues thru Sat of next week will be a crap shoot. There will be drinking every night I'm afraid. (who am I kidding, I'm not afraid!:bigsmile: ) My daughter will be home from Philly for the week and we have something every night planned. I'm just going to enjoy myself and not stress myself out over how much I'm eating and drinking. I can get back on track after she leaves. It TIS the Season after all!:drinker: :drinker:
Have a good weekend lushes, wish me luck fighting the crowds today to finish up my shopping. :sad:0 -
Whoa, what a week! What was planned to be a drink free week except Thursday (DBF birthday) turned into a party! Unfortunately, I think this will be the case next week as well. I have to get it out of my system, right?:bigsmile: DBF is having hernia surgery Monday after Christmas and he won't be drinking which in turn should help me get ready for January. My gym is having a 30 day Paleo challenge which means no alcohol, dairy, sugar, or processed carbs. Right now, I am not mentally ready for that. I would much rather have some champagne! :drinker:0
-
Well, I wish I would've found this post sooner! I love it!0
-
I wouldn't go for being selected DD! how annoying! of course, my friends always volunteer to DD or get a taxi b/c they know I never have fun if I am DD. what a brat I am.
Last night I drank at DH's office holiday party. I don't even feel too badly today despite starting with red wine and switching to beer. so I guess that is ok. I did stop for breakfast at mcdonald's though, which was not the best choice...0 -
DH and I will take a cab to downtown (or the light rail) rather than one of us being DD when we go out down there. We're SUCH lushes!0
-
Yeah, I think it will help and I never smoke inside so this may be a new thing for me with the vape. As I said I plan on mixing the cartridges and so I will never know if I have nicotine or not I hope to one day just have the 0mg nicotine and then I won't be hooked, I can just look "cool" ahahahahahaha
joking ... smoking is NOT cool and I am so disgusted with myself for having started again. If I can lose this much weight in 3 months I can quit again!
[/quote]
You can do it! It isn't easy but it isn't impossible either. I smoked for 17 years (one to one and a half packs a day), then I quit, started again, quit again...etc. I finally decided that I wanted to work out and be healthy. I did this for the final time 7 years ago next month. I feel the best I ever have in my life. (I wasted my 20's and 30's smoking and feeling horrible). Now I am here losing all that wonderful weight that I have been fighting since I quit smoking.
The only difference is that you have MFP as a weapon in your arsenal that I didn't. You will do it!!! Good luck and best wishes.0 -
Wow, I feel right at home with this post. I'm tired of hearing, " you gotta get rid of the alcohol to lose weight" .... so this week has been good for now. No alcohol thus far. Tonight and the rest of the weekend, I can't say the same. More than likely I'm going out tonight and well I don't have fun out if I'm not drinking. Tomorrow is my cheat day and well yea ... apart of cheating is drinking YAY .... Sunday is rest. Next week will be a crap shot as well because of all the Christmas parties and Christmas itself.
Have a great week everyone, man I'm glad I found you all ...0 -
I am fully prepared to blow my calories tomorrow at my christmas party...especially after the intense stress i've been under the past two weeks. and i'm possible going to start with a glass or two of red wine tonight with a good book and a bubble bath...I haven't drank in a LONG time, and i'm almost craving the taste of a good cab sauv...123 calories a glass, i should be fine...especially since i just ate 200 calories worth of chocolate:ohwell:0
-
I just busted my *kitten* doing the Turbo Fire 55EZ class, so I feel okay having a glass or two of wine tonight! Besides...I'm off for 2 weeks! Yay!0

Oooh no alcohol , dairy, sugar or processed carbs, that is harsh, that's not a challenge, it's just plain torture, you've gotta have some nice things in life! Good on you if you are dedicated enough to sign up to that, in fact I'd raise a glass to you :drinker: :laugh:0 -

Starting January, right? So champagne is ON for tonight!!!0 -
Yes, not until January so my wine is tasting oh so good!0

I was surprisingly good for me last night. one shot of Crown Royal Reserve and on Sam Adams Oktoberfest. Well today is another day and who knows how it will turn out.0
-
I'm still alcohol free since Monday and that's despite having wine in the house. I'm just using up all my willpower in preparation for Christmas. 0

Oldest son wreaks car
Hubs comes home from hospital
Took MIL out to bank and grocery store
Finished 85% of shopping for holidays and have meal plan for dinners/breakfast
Tonight, getting Christmas cards out after work
Wine, priceless...0 -
Well I went to the club last night and drank too many vodka and cran ...... it was great .....
New week - no more drinking until Christmas!0 -
Kim, wow what a week. Keep your head above water and sip the wine slowly. when all of this passes head directly to your favorite mexican restaurant and consume many large beers. Merry Christmas friend.
I drank way too much Aha Toro Anejo tequila yesterday. It was so tasty with the carnitas i had in the crock pot all day.
Today began with a little Kaluha in the coffe and then hubs surprised with a lovely bottle of Tattinger for breakfast. Yum!
Now I will plan on no alcohol Monday thru Thursday. Xmas eve is the only celebration we will have so I will consume then. Have a great lushy holiday week!0 -
ahh Kim, that's a very busy and stressful week :sad:
Our cat had similar bladder problems, happened more than once so had to have surgery, cost over £1000, fortunately we were insured but he's still on a special diet.
I hope things calm down for you this week0 -
I had a lushie week last week and the weekend, Friday wine with italian dinner out, then beers at the bar next door. Saturday I drank for free at the Front Porch, but they didn't let me get an early start! I showed up at 5 and they didn't open til 6. I had a couple vodka sodas at a nearby bar, then got pizza by the slice and then to Front Porch for free drinks, a colorado bull dog, then Coors lights. the bartender made us a shot because I was asking him about sweet tea vodka so he mixed some up with sweet and sour and sprite, it was yummy. Then I went to the movies and saw Black Swan, disturbing...
Sunday=0 drinks0 -

I heard that movie was very disturbing .... hmmmm .... I wonder if the lead will win an Oscar for it, I hear she played her part very well in the movie.
AFM - I had Remy and Sprite yesterday .... I couldn't help it, my 2yo was driving me nuts plus I was sleepy and cranky ... sigh0 -
sunday was not so good. I started with the Tattinger and then I had a couple of Mike's Hard lemonades (cranberry and black cherry) then I enjoyed a hot buttered rum followed by a couple of rum and cokes and I completed the fiasco with a few shots of vodka on the rocks. oh well lets see how Monday goes.0
