    Hello to my wonderful, lushy, virtual friends!!

    The house resold on last Saturday and our inspection is this Friday. We did our pre-inspection walk through of our new house yesterday and most of it was good except the fixtures in the master bath and I almost had a breakdown. I am tired of stress. I have a whopping cold sore to prove it.

    Good news is that I exercised this morning for the first time in 3 weeks and it feels good to be back on track.

    Alcohol consumption remains high and I am hoping that the colder weather is a signal to return back to normal. I def drink more in the summer because happy hours on the patio are the place to be.

    Monday, 1 large Dos Equis and 1 small (4.33)
    Tuesday, 2 Coors Light Pounders (3.33)
    Wednesday, ??

    Hubs is in the mood to celebrate every night which is great - but, I am going to get fatter and fatter at this rate.

    I read lots of posts but not all - it's good to be back!!

    Kate, I'm trying to remain calm, but it just made me sad. I feel great today and that is why I got on the scale. LOL. It's just at a number that I haven't seen in a very, very long time (and I know it's only 5 lbs), but I don't like it! I'm going to stay away from the scale for quite a while I think.

    Hi lushes!

    Last call is 4am in Louisville. Except on Derby Day; then the bars are open till 8am. :drinker:

    I agree with the scale comment. A couple years ago I weighed myself everyday for a week just to see how much my weight fluctuated, and I think I saw about a 3-4 pound swing over the course of the week and at 5'2", I'm a relatively small person. I always try to rely more on measurements and how I feel. :flowerforyou:

    Weight fluctuations can be insane!!!!!!!!!!

    Well, my clothes fit just like they normally do. And I feel good, so I suppose that is what is most important! It is a nice cloudy day here in Wichita, Kansas. Wish I was at home snuggled up instead of at work.

    Plan to do an at home DVD tonight...either Turbo Jam or T25...then do some yoga. I forgot my gym bag...so I know I wouldn't go home and change and drive all the way to the gym. Yay Thursday!! And tomorrow I get off work at noon!! WOO HOO!

    Monday - 0
    Tuesday - 0
    Wednesday - 0
    Thursday - planning a 0, but that could change by 5 (as always).

    Tuesday, 2 Coors Light Pounders (3.33)
    Wednesday, 3 glasses of Syrah/Malbec - mediocre flavor

    We bought a used RAV4 yesterday that we are pretty happy with.

    5k tomorrow morning for colon cancer awareness, will probably walk so we can catch up with some friends. Other than that not much planned. We may go to the luncheon afterwards or may head home...we shall see how it goes. When we get home we will bottling a beer and then probably getting hammered....true saturday style :laugh:

    Oh and Bridget.....I was feeling great this week so I hoped on the scale this morning HA...I should take my own advice...it was horrible, so I am ignoring it and will try again next week!!!!

    Thursday- about 3/4 bottle of cab

    I am being terrible this week! and this weekend won't be much better. We have the rehearsal dinner tonight for my brother in laws wedding. Mike is the best man. But we are going to drive separately because we will have the baby with and I don't think he will make it too late, so maybe a glass of wine and perhaps finish the bottle from last night when I get home. Tomorrow is the wedding, so obviously going to be ridiculous. And I took off Monday, so Sunday probably will be recovery drinking while watching football :drinker: And the Bears don't play until 7:30!

    Got back from my annual trip to the Mt Adams area with my old high school friends. Lots of hiking, great scenery, campfires, food and drinks. A good way to reset the mind.

    Going to attempt to moderate a bit. We'll see how it goes.

    Have a great weekend all! :drinker:

    Friday=7 drinks
    Saturday=1 drink
    Sunday=5 drinks

    I think I am going to lay low and rest up for Riot Fest, also, I started watching The Killing and will likely binge watch that for a few evenings, I can't stand the suspense!

    Went to my girlfriend's party on Friday night...drank way, way too much. Felt AWFUL on Saturday (and we had to drive home because the party was out of town). I slept on the way home (3 hour drive)...came home and slept more and then basically didn't sleep Saturday night. So, I only drank Friday night...but it was enough for the whole weekend.

    Hubby & I are going to OKC on Thursday until Saturday. A little get away to celebrate our anniversary. So, no drinks until Thursday night. I anticipate a lot of drinks will be had between Thursday and Saturday. All in good fun :)

    Sounds like everyone did their lush cards proud this weekend :drinker:

    Stayed in Friday which always help keep the booze under control. Dinner at my Gram's Saturday then came home to have some more wine. Beer and wine yesterday for football. Wasn't hungover once this weekend which was nice. It's Fall here now, not officially but it seems as soon as September hits the temps just drop. So it's been windows open and sipping on red wine while washing tv. My favorite time of year, it'll be a tough time, especially Halloween because it's my favorite holiday and I was looking forward to spending it with my little girl but I'm hopeful that my favorite time of year will also help me heal a little. Guessing there will be more red wine and tv tonight :smile:

    I did you all proud....ate and drank way too much. I hear ya on the detoxing, kate. I slept like caca last night. Time to rack up some 0's and get into a routine until we leave next week to take the son back to college. It's been quite a summer! :drinker:

    I have been having a hard time falling asleep, and sleeping a bit fitfully too, not sure why, maybe because we started watching The Killing. It's taken a turn...

    Syd, those are amazing pictures!! :)

    Amy, I just finished The Killing and I'm so sad I did. I loved it so much!!! But, then I started watching The Following...and I have had some pretty scary dreams. I should probably stop watching those kind of shows right before I go to bed...

    I love the Following, never seen the Killing I might have to check it out.

    Last week was out of control with the BIL's wedding. Only had one glass of wine Friday. Saturday was just ridiculous....lots of wine and lots of vodka. Sunday one glass of wine.

    Monday- half bottle of red (celebrating our 3 year anniversary which is tomorrow, but Mike works late)

    I need some zeros in my life....
