    Kim, scary about the needle stick, I have one of those tests on my "treatment plan" script which of course I am putting off until I 'quit drinking' baaahaaa :laugh: :laugh: That's one test that will never be done.

    The good news is that our livers regenerate 1 cell every 10,000 days if I remember correctly from A&P. The key would be not to burn them out faster than that.:flowerforyou:

    Glad to hear the renovations are moving forward even tho you have to suffer thur the miserable living conditions:grumble:

    I think it was blondie something or another ??? that you thinking of...IDK:huh:

    I don't want to say anything yet because the day isn't over but I think I will have a 0 for Monday. I worked out and ate very well today.

    Robin, you can do it. If I could avoid taco night, I think you can make it thru the night too. Like Faith said, just think of the scale moving down and the weekend is only 4 days away and you can INDULGE without guilt because the week was GOOD. Well, that is, unless you are Irish. Then the weekend comes a day earier:bigsmile:

    I just bought tickets for an Irish comedy play on Saturday...we will definitely be pub crawling thru St. Paul on Friday.

    I have a hangover just thinking about it:sick: :frown: :ohwell:

    Faith, I'd love to have been a fly on the wall listening to the SOBER voice:laugh: :sad:

    So I did it. yay! I am Irish but I will not be partaking on St. Patty;s Day. I really want to get thru a whole week. 7 full days and then some. I am planning on cooking with wine on Friday but I am not going to drink the rest (the utlimate challenge for me) I am honestly aiming for a two week kind of detox of clean eating and exersize. I know I can do this but I also know that if I cave you will all be there for me. :love:

    Faith, good luck on the second interview!
    Kim the pub crawl and comedy show sounds fantastic.

    To all my lushy friends Have a great Tuesday.

    Great job on the interview Faith and excellent work for a Monday, Robin!

    I managed to not drink last night, although a glass of wine sounded good.

    Sunday=1
    Monday=0

    The boy has taekwondo today, then soccer practice (I'm coaching) and hubs has a basketball game that he's coaching...somewhere in there we'll have dinner.

    I'm a fellow lush! I actually gave up all alcoholic beverages for the entire month of January and I will say that it was actually really great! I loved saving the money, no hangover, and I found that most things can be just as fun without alcohol.

    Anyone else do an alcohol fast?

    I have not gone any length of time without alcohol, but it might be worth trying. Maybe two weeks would be manageable.
    Last night I went to Earl's and it was Margarita Monday and they were really good margs, I had two, and they came in a pint glass.
    Later at dinner at home we opened a bomber of barley wine, it was interesting, but I didn't love it.
    Maybe just wine with dinner tonight, we'll see.

    Friday = 2 Bud Selects
    Saturday = 3 Bud Selects; 1/2 shot Rumplemintz; 2 rootbeer barrells
    Sunday = 0
    Monday = 0

    Hopefully no more drinks til Friday night, then we celebrate the boyfriend's birthday in Deadwood, Woo Hoo!! Then I'd LOVE to try an alcohol fast. Not sure if I can make it a month. Perhaps baby steps, 1 week, 2 weeks...and so on and so forth =).

    Happy Tuesday all !!

    How much wine I have just depends on the week. Some weeks I won't have any until the weekend. Some weeks I'll have a few or more glasses during the week. Last night I had a few glasses because I needed calories haha and I just felt like it. I always make room for the wine on the weekend. I'm getting closer and closer to my body's happy weight range, even with all the wine =] haha

    Hello fellow lushes! This week is going well so far. Only 1 or 2 drinks each evening, even over the weekend. I usually budget for 3 or 4, so I'm proud of myself for not consuming all I can. Let's hope I can keep doing so well this week!

    Whatsup Lushes?

    Managed to stay alcohol free and away from my taco night. Only 2 more nights until my lushiness rears it's ugly head. We're not Irish, but married on SPD kind of by accident. We actually wanted the 16th.

    Robin, good job on day 1 on the sober train
    Yvonne, ahhh *drink*, a good way to celebrate being off
    Faith, keep us posted on the job front

    hmmmm, who else did I miss? Oh, I have only been sober for long periods while pregnant. They are the reason I drink now.

    Take care peeps....

    Monday = 0
    Tuesday = 0

    I am motivated. I really want to lose the 16 pounds that I gained back before my birthday trip to St. Thomas. I want to seriously rock the bikinis. Every time I think about giving in I pull out one of the 6 new bathing suits I bought when I was at my lowest last summer. I picture myself in them now and then I walk away from the alcohol. I have also done really good with adding DVD's after my dreadmill workout. I know I can do this.

    Robin, you sound like a woman on a mission! I like the bikini idea... I found some on the Land's End website that I would wear...

    Sunday=1
    Monday=0
    Tuesday=1 (s.f. red bull and cherry vodka)

    ^That^ was a reward for a hectic evening...It was waiting on the kitchen counter when I got home...my hubby knows me so well!

    I HAD to finish off a bottle of red I started on Sunday on Monday. It was bloody awful too, but not so bad I could face chucking it down the sink! Trying to have a dry week as the weekend will be distinctly wet. It's the Rugby Six Nations finals, and my chef boyfriend (Welsh, ex Rugby player) has a rare weekend off work. Could get messy!

    Monday = 1
    Tuesday=0

    Everybody's had a good week so far....well, according to my standards anyway, which are very high anyway:frown:

    Sunday thru Tuesday, 0 drinks...the scale hasn't moved and is kind of frustrating, grrrrr....although, I do have to admit my puffiness has gone down; so, there's a sign.

    Spring is in the air and can't wait for the blankets of snow to melt in MN. I am dying to get my bike out and ride it everywhere.

    Anyway off to the Mall of America, taking the kids to the mirror maze and the amusement park...meanwhile, I might get a little shopping time in. :bigsmile:

    Wednesday, 0 drinks
