    Myself and two friends did a 15K night hike last night. It kicked off with cava and Belgian chocolates! More exercise should be like that! Sadly we stuck with water at the two pub stops.

    I am done for the week and now have to burn that all off in exercise...ugh...that's about 2500 calories...I am ready for all my company to leave and have a break from visitors

    My Grandmothers has a saying "Company is like leftovers, after 3 days they both start to stink"

    Mine said company is like fish, after 3 days.... yada. Pisses my mom off every time I tell her we are only going to stay 3 or 4 days. :laugh:

    Girls night at the casino with BFF. one whole bottle of white zinfandel ( I hate it but she loves it and what are friends for.) two cranberry Mikes. came out a little ahead on the gambling so it paid for dinner and then some. Asti spumanti in the morning ( yuck again but what are friends for) and then scored a majorly cool leather jacket at Wilson's house of leather at the outlet mall. ot was 150 on sale for 39.99 really cute and very flattering on me. LOVE IT. then we hit olive garden for lunch. Finally a decent chardonnay and apricot chicken for lunch. Home now and ready to have some Vodka. it was a really good time.

    Thank God last week is over, way lushier than I intended to be...I've learned that I cannot tailgait at a ballgame and not drink alcohol, it's just not possible. I tried for about 20 minutes and then I just gave in. :ohwell:

    I've got 2 days to try and save some face for my compeition...or, the possibility of being eliminated is very good.

    Faith, glad you enjoyed your lushiness...now, go out and run a few miles

    Robin, good luck on "being good"

    ah crap, I see a plate of salsa beside me. I think I made nachos last night. :laugh:

    Up side of that I am not sick = lots of exercise today woohooo! I so hope it is sunny again today. It has been raining and freezing last few days. (Winter here) Yesterday was gorgeous whilst I was at work. I am hoping it is lovely weather today so I can get a long beach walk in!

    We were supposed to have a neighorhood movie night last night (we project a movie onto a neighbor's white house and we watch it from our yard/patio) so we all started off by drinking...then it rained so the women-folk and kids moved to one house so the kids could watch the movie and the men stayed at our house and watched hockey and drank beer. I drank...a lot.

    Not sure about tonight, it's supposed to be chilly so there probably won't be much outdoor time, which gets me into trouble, so most likely we'll be indoors, perhaps playing some Wii dance so I can shimmy the calories off. :laugh:
    This sounds so cool! I wanted to try this but I wasn't sure what you need for projector and sound system?
    My weekend wasn't too bad. I took Friday off and went to Fort Collins, I had a beer with lunch but had to help my un-lushy friend with a strawberry marg. Then to the country club pool where I had a couple of bud lights and a margarita.
    Saturday I only had a vodka soda and a Kirin.
    Sunday just a little bit of white wine at a graduation party.
    It doesn't look bad, but I was trying to avoid beer for two weeks and I just seem unable to do so.
    Looks like a marg and Mexican food tonight. But I am working out first!

    Yesterday I had a moderate(ish) amount of wine, but just enough to make chocolate too tempting to resist.

    Fortunately, husband has a job interview on Wednesday, so doesn't want to drink for a couple of nights. We may be starting the week sober! Wahoo!

    Ditto. However with these awesome summer days and some great thunderstorms thrown in, I make no promises. Its just so relaxing to end the day with a nice drink. Also, we're waiting on results from my Gramma's biopsy and seeing when she's going to put our beloved Angel (Kitty I picked out and grew up with) to sleep =( could be a rough week but I'm staying positive about her biopsy. Hard to stay positive about her putting angel down though. He's had a wonderful 11 years though and I'm sure would have more, which is what makes it so.sad.

    Ditto here as well. Although I am meeting a friend tonight for drinks, I am limiting myself to white wine.

    I WAS doing really well this weekend. We stayed in, cooked a lot, I drank a couple glasses of white wine each night (I am trying to give up beer for awhile). BUT THEN we went out with friends last night to celebrate their engagement (yay) and watch the Mavs game...and I had WAY more beers than I had intended. And exceeded my calories by a lot -- especially since I had allowed myself a rest day. Sigh. I know it is water weight/bloating from the beer -- but seeing the pound that had come off last week back on the scale this morning hurt. And reminded me that cutting out the beer is probably a good thing...for awhile...

    I failed miserably last week and was SUPER LUSH (imagine a big red "L" on my chest with my red cape). At least I've switched to the lower calorie "water" beers... but I just drink more of them! :blushing:

    I'm hoping to start the week with a "0" for Monday!!

    ha at your big fat L Marti. Did ya make a fool texting? :laugh:
    I'm still paying for that night I went loco in texts and on the computer. :embarassed:

    I'm going to be good this week..well until Friday at least, where I will then be at the beach and on vacay for a while. I know I will be drinking then, because I will need to in order to survive certain family members!! :drinker:

    Oh, Faith, I like my beats fast and my bass down low too!!!!!

    Amy, we just snagged Hubs' projector from school (his is on a cart, mine is mounted on the ceiling) and then we connect it to a laptop and then hook up computer speakers. It's pretty fly.

    Yes, I just said "fly".

    I'm currently drinking a Summer Shandy and tutoring a kid. :laugh: We're chatting online about a book we're both reading--he's in the mountains and I'm at home. It's pretty awesome!

    I was mortified when I first heard. At least I like them and get along but 7 days is too long. I understand we live in an awesome city now and everyone wants come and visit to see the sites but GEEZUS! It's too much.

    Holy carp, Sarah! That's a realllllly long time! I'm so glad that both my parents and the in-laws live in the same area. I told Hubs that if we ever moved it would have to be to a crappy place so no one wants to visit.

    Back spasms + no meds = self-medicating last weekend with Vodka! Always a slippery slope since booze leads to indulging in hangover brunches and laying around watching movies instead of working out.

    Monday = 0

    No outrageous texts, thank goodness... Just drank a lot! Not even sure how I was walking/talking after 9 on Saturday. But we were outside all day/evening around my mom's pool... So maybe the heat absorbed some of the alcohol! HAHAHA!! :laugh:
