    ..........the good (or bad) news is i haven't eaten dinner yet. so i have plenty of calories........

    I decided I wanted to up the time of my cardio on resistance days and so I also, have a lot of calories as of right now. Currently on glass 2 of wine, cheap stuff though, so not a lot of calories, where as my Blue Moon is 171 cals but I've only got 1 left :frown:

    Had a great shoulders and arms work out, can't wait to up my weights soon :smile: Unfortunately with getting sick, worst timing ever, my schedule got thrown off, so next week instead of taking a "rest" week, I'll be going straight into month 2 of the X, so that my rest week will fall on vacation and that way I just have to worry about getting cardio in everyday.

    I'm feeling very blessed tonight, I'm seeing a lot of relationships falling apart around me and I'm so thankful that after 8 years with my boyfriend, we're still just as in love as when we first got together. I'm usually not this much of a girl but with all the unforunate events happening and couples breaking up, I'm just feeling really happy that I've got a wonderful boyfriend and 3 amazing fur children :smile:

    Alright, enough of the chick flick moment haha, have a great night everyone :drinker:

    my husband and i feel so lucky to still totally have crushes on each other after 13 yrs ... i need to stay with him anyhow, he doesn't drink wine so i never have to worry that he'd polish off my bottle ... match made in heaven!

    Socal - I certainly have my moments and obviously things aren't always fantastic but without the bad times there wouldn't be any good times but rather "average" times and we certainly wouldn't appreciate the good times as much without the rough times.


    Foodie - My boyfriend drinks wine as well, in fact we are starting a wine cellar. He doesn't drink during the week though and we usually drink different beers so he won't ever polish of my stuff however I polished off his beer last week haha. As far as splitting up when you have kids, as a kid of divorce, I'd sort of rather people not try and stay together just because they have kids because that more times than not, makes things even worse and then the kids see all the bad, whereas if you just split up, yeah you have to explain some things when they can understand but then they won't be around all the fighting.

    and now the son just got his license. so we make him drive us home if we all go out to eat and we have a glass of wine or 2. i knew that kid would come in handy one day. :bigsmile:

    Kat, your chick flick moment made me all squishy.

    Love,
    Dot, whose husband is being a total d-bag today and is in a crappy mood and will most likely "take it out" on her when he gets home from grad school
    (by "take it out" I mean be an *kitten* and be snippy with me, lest anyone think he beats me or anything.)

    So, I'm having a Skinny Girl Marg. :drinker:

    Oh, low cal drinks...
    I usually order my (insert whatever flavor I'm drinking here) vodka and mixer (diet soda or club soda) as a double tall, and then I drink it through a straw. It gets me pretty tipsy pretty quickly!

    I'd love to join your little group. I gotta have a beer or something just about every evening... I've found a way to figure it into my calories... I just don't see myself living without a beer or a glass of wine... plus, I totally need a cheat day or something every month or so to have a few drinks :-) :drinker:

    :noway:

    Somehow I was blessed with a boyfriend who's pretty much, no matter what, in a good mood. I'm the one with the terrible temper :explode: I don't even blame it on being Irish, I simply have a temper and when I'm hungry or when it's time for the monthly, I just let myself get set off by stupid little things. He's so good at bringing me back down though and making me laugh. He truely balances me out and he and I being opposites definitely works for us :heart:

    Enjoy your marg!!! Is it the Bethenny Frankel Skinny girl marg? I still want to try that, I love her and in so many ways am like her and by ways I mean the ways in which she's very blunt and not entirely "lady like" whatever the heck that means haha.

    For me, one drink is one serving, so 5oz of wine, or 12oz of beer or a shot of hard stuff which should be 1.5 oz.

    It is strange, or a sign of the times, lots of couples breaking up or giving up around us too. Grateful for the 25 years with the love of my life. It's been a wild ride with ups and downs but wouldn't trade it for anything. But enough with the chick flick moment.

    Definitely a sign of the times, people don't give relationships a chance anymore or they just rush things and/or both. Seems that people these days don't take it seriously, which for some is fine, if they don't want the kids and family thing. I admit, I was never the girl who dreamt about getting married and never liked kids. Only when I met my boyfriend and after being together for a few years, did I think about marriage and kids. That's how I knew he was the right guy for me. I'm only 25 so I still have time for marriage and kids but the one thing I'm certain about is that he is the one I want to spend my "old" years with :smile: I often feel guilty because my amazing bestfriend hasn't found the right guy yet and she is one of the most amazing people I know and deserves it so much. I know she'll find someone though, for some they find "the one" early and for others, it's later in life and/or not at all :ohwell: And THAT, is why I kick myself in the *kitten* sometimes and remember that I've got something really special that a lot of others don't, including my lovely mom :frown:
