    I have a triple baby shower tonight, so I'm sure there will be beer and wine, but with 3 preggos, it will be easy to not drink.

    Oh god...I'm going to a baby shower sunday and I am praying there is booze :laugh:

    Fortunately, none of the girls that the shower is for are into the girly, "shower-games" stuff. We'll probably hang out, order pizza, and open prezzies.

    Well I was one of the 6 million people who lost power yesterday. We were told maybe 36 hours with no power but we're back.

    I drank my dinner. The neighbors all sat out on the culdesac while the kids all played (no school today)

    I'm a little hungover this morning. Some people go into survival mode...I just drink. :ohwell:

    SoCal, I hear you. We missed two days of school last year because of the extreme sub-zero temps...Hubs and I drank hot cocoa, rum, and St. Brendan's all day while the kids played Wii.

    Last night I broke and had 2 glasses of wine (4 ounce - why bother? lol) and 1 shot of vodka.

    I didn't need to drink, but it was kind of a crap day - and it's my husband's birthday weekend, and I have pms and and and and. Yep I'm ultra good at excuses!

    Planning on drinking tonight, I'll finish the bottle of wine - 3 glasses and have a few shots. Burnt xtra calories this morning and I'll try to eat healthy today.......

    So I was really able to do it last night. I successfully convinced myself not to give in and just have one. I am so amped for staying alcohol free for a whole other week. (probably the best thing since I am traveling on business) I checked out all the hotels I am staying at and they all have fitness centers so instead of going up to my room with a bottle of wine, I will work out for a couple of hours. The good news is that I am officially back under my ticker weight this morning. I will post a loss probably tomorrow. (I creeped up almost 6 pounds but refused to change the ticker:blushing: )

    I am really reveling in my food again. Breakfast is so good when I didn't drink too much the night before. I do miss dinner (protein shakes are keeping me on track but my inner gourmet is screaming at me) I will be spending the next couple of months trying to find the right balance between new found love of exersize, moderate drinking and good food. I am such a work in progress.

    Don't worry dear lushes, Mama Lush will always be ready and waiting to down another bottle of wine or a bunch of alcohol, I just have to get back on top of it. Much love to you all:flowerforyou:

    Good job Robin!

    Still same lushiness here. Tequila and diet squirt, 3 to 4 a night. Measured 1.5 oz. each drink.

    I went into a cleaning frenzy yesterday, sorting through boxes of my mom's stuff, and going through a couple I had from when I redid the house. Time for a garage sale as I didn't miss any of the stuff I had packed. Anyway, all is reorganized. One good thing is that I found is my old Denise Austin workout DVD AND my Total Gym DVDs. Now.......hmmmm......I can no longer add to my excuses of not exercising that I can't find my DVDs. :sad: I am taking it as a sign from above......to get my *kitten* going!!!

    All have a good rest of the weekend! :drinker: Faith, good luck with next week!! :bigsmile:
