    I am trying to get myself back on track...sounds like some of the rest of you are as well. Coming here every day to read how you all are doing helps. :flowerforyou:
    Apparently summer isn't over here in SoCal....95 degrees today and more of the same thru Sat. I'm REALLY glad I decided not to go to the air show with the husband this weekend..that tarmac is going to be hot as hell!! I need to get back in the pool for some swimming.

    Yay October!! I cannot wait until it is actually cold here (I can't believe I'm saying this), so I can wear my sweatshirts! But I am not looking forward to the freezing cold that Kansas provides.

    Syd, enjoy the pool time!! I'm super jealous!!

    It's in the high 80's in KY today, but has been chilly enough to open windows at night for the past couple weeks. We're supposed to get a 30 degree temp swing over the weekend with highs in the high 50's Saturday. That's KY weather for you. Fine by me; I just got 4 pair of boots in the mail last week!

    I sent Kim a message and I haven't heard back from her. I miss her. I am sure she will be back eventually.

    Glad to see all the posts for October! It has been getting cooler too. Our heat came on for the first time since last June. The mornings are crisp but the sun has been making an appearance as well.

    We will be heading south from Olympia on Monday and will spend two to three weeks on the road in the trailer. We plan on seeing the Redwoods out of Crescent City California and then moving north up the Oregon coast- which is spectacular btw.

    I get on the forum every day and cheer you all on. You guys rock. :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

    Robin, I am glad you are taking time to get things back to good for yourself!!! :flowerforyou:

    Gary, Have a GREAT trip, sounds like a lot of fun!!!

    Monday-0
    Tuesday-0
    Wednesday-0
    Thursday-thirsty thrusday reared its lovely head.....4.5 mile walk with a stop at the brewpub....3 beers and a glass of wine at home
    Tonight will be wine.
    Tomorrow we have Lenny's family annual fallfest, so much beer will be drank.

    I am going to try and abstain sunday, just so I don't feel like poo for 3 days after...I think its smart to start my 3 day hangover on sunday :wink:

    Lenny is traveling next week, so I will probably be having some wine all week...in moderation of course :tongue:

    Happy friday!!!

    Monday- 10 oz white
    Tuesday-5 oz red
    Wednesday-5 oz red
    Thursday-5 oz of red

    at least I am consistent!

    No plans for tonight, probably some wine and catching up on my DVR. The weather is super crappy here today. Tomorrow I have dinner plans with some good girlfriends I haven't hung out with in awhile, so I am looking forward to that, so some drinks, but I will still have to drive home, so nothing too crazy. Sunday we have a few invites for football so I'm sure I will have some beers.

    Monday- 10 oz white
    Tuesday-5 oz red
    Wednesday-5 oz red
    Thursday-5 oz of red
    Friday- about a bottle of red
    Saturday-about 3/4 bottle of red
    Sunday- Blue Moon Pumpkin and about 3/4 bottle of red

    I do not see me abstaining anytime soon. But, the past two weekends I have drank moderately and not felt like crap on Monday so that is nice!

    I have Piyo, I like it. I like incorporating it into my running routine. It really helps with stretching. But, doing the whole program on its own wouldn't be very effective in my opinion.

    Chloe, thanks for the input on the PiYo. I've read that it isn't super effective on its own, so I don't anticipate me doing just that. I will continue doing my cardio & use it...if I like it. If not, I will return it. I just needed a little change up & I like Chalene Johnson, so we shall see.

    Took awhile to find the group. Looks like most of us are back. We are on the road and are in Myrtle Creek Oregon. Today we will get to Crater Lake NP and spend a few days there. Take care all! :)

    Okay very weird. took me forever to find you guys and I miss the smileys. the one they have now are gross. I did well on Monday with one small glass of red but then yesterday I lost a friend to cancer and all bets were off. I had some issues with the anti depressants the doc wanted me to take. they were 61 buck co pay. It turns out that the insurance company decided that the generic form when in tablets is a brand name but when in capsules it is generic so my doc resent the script for capsules and now it will only be 5 dollars. I hope my blood pressure is low enough to start today.
