OMG!!! Why did I not see this thread yesterday!!! >>>hugs<<<< to my fellow lushes. I am home!!

St. Patty's day was a nightmare. It started off really well with a glass of Cabernet but it ended with 4 green leprechauns.... Hard to say no to the girls......sigh

Well, school teachers love, love, love parents that love us!

Amy, we're staying at the Hilton Grand...it's on the same side of the strip as MGM, but on the other end. We got a good deal on 2 nights but we have to listen to a 1.5 hour "buy a timeshare" deal...but we don't have the money, so it won't be hard to say no. :laugh:
My neighbor (single mom...first time away from her son for other than an overnight in 7 years) is going, but she's leaving Sunday and staying at the Palms. I think we'll hit a club or 2 Monday night, and then just people watch, gamble, eat, and drink the rest of the time. I'd like to see "O" but they're blacked out on Monday and Tuesday--we get back on Wednesday. It *was* supposed to be nice while we were there, but now they're calling for 58, 63, and 69...not pool weather, for sure!

Um, yeah, that's all I got!

Sooooooooo much wine last night but I always plan my drinks so I was actually under my calorie goal =] Probably have some wine tonight for date night. UFC tomorrow with friends usually means lots of beer.

Still losing weight though!

I work out twice a day 6 days a week and sometimes throw in a work out on the 7th day as well. I usually earn around 600 extra calories each day from the exercise. I don't try to stay under my goal, I try to reach it but sometimes, like last night, I was 15 under.

Before joining this site, I would count the first couple of beers and some what track calories and then just not care. Now because I know I need to put it all in here and not go over, it's a lot easier. I usually make sure I leave about 1000 calories when I know I'm either going out to dinner or having people over for UFC or what have you. Seems to be a good amount for me to have a good meal and plenty of drinks haha. Then once I'm at my goal calories for the day, I stop.

Cool, I signed up for the timeshare sale for a free stay but then my husband wouldn't do it, he really hates that stuff that much. But let me know if you go to any great clubs, planning a bachelorette for July for a friend and I think it will be Vegas!
I saw O, it was great but I think Love will always be my favorite. I saw Ka too, and it tells more of a story, I just loved the music and craziness of Love.

I do to, but my cardio is usually around 300 plus weights and the other workouts are yoga and they don't burn too much...hmmmm I gotta figure something out because its friday and gorgeous out and I want several beers.....only have 1 1/2 accounted for. They are high ABV beers, so the more alcohol the more calories...hopefully I won't need to many
Cheers everyone, enjoy your weekend!!

On weight days my cardio is usually around 330 for 30 minutes. Weights is around 287 for 40-45 minutes because it's not just weights, it's also push ups and pull ups because I'm on a round of P90X Plus. I usually save around 1000 cals for dinner and drinks. Usually works for a good meal and a couple bottles of wine or many beers haha.

I would really like to see Ka...we saw Love 2 summer ago and loved it!!!

It certainly is and it never gets old. After this round I'm tackling a round of Insanity. I already miss Tony and my weights haha, it'll be a nice change though. I'm really looking forward to then doing a hybrid though. Pretty sure that's going to be earning me some serious booze calories haha.

I called the box office and changed the day of the play to Sunday...Ya, it's that bad...I don't think I can fathom going downtown at 9:30 for a show...I will be dead by then

janiebeth

Hi all

My name is Janie and I love a glass of wine or bottle of beer in the evening - can I join you???

I am actually sort of a "lush wanna be" because I usually can't fit in enough time to actually get more than just relaxed, but I definitely save calories for this at the end of the day.

Thanks, Jane

:drinker: :drinker:

OK so it has been over a week since my last serving of alcohol - and for the first time today I am REALLY craving a nice glass of wine!!! I'm going to dinner with the girls so it will be hard to resist. But I gave it up for Lent and so *can't* cheat. I really feel like my muscle building and weight loss is on a roll though. And this may be TMI but since quitting the booze cold turkey I've been sleeping better (always thought I was before but now I'm like a rock!) and my bowel movements have been like clockwork and much more...well healthier.

But the weather is getting nice and I'd so love a cocktail.

amysj303

I would really like to see Ka...we saw Love 2 summer ago and loved it!!!

Is Ka dark while you are there too? I went with a girl who is friends with an acrobat in Ka and we got to go behind the scenes so that was really neat.

Just_Dot

Dark! I knew "black out" wasn't right...geez, my husband's a drama nerd, you would think I would remember that term... Anyway, I'm not sure if Ka is dark or not--I'll have to check. I bet going backstage was a.maz.ing!
