    Robin, excellent job on the zero!

    Krisco...yep, I'd be drinking after that. And, ya, the weekends sounds lushy and super fun.

    Amy, I vote for conditioning before Mexico

    Kate, you guys are FAB-U-LOUS support for G-ma to drive down there. Bowel obstructions are nasty.

    Raz...welcome, it's a great group...

    Thanks Kim and Amy! Just got an update and she is doing WONDERFULLY!!! We are still waiting for the results from pathology (not until monday) but hopefully they come back clean. Long recovery for her and super scary for everyone. She has been so amazing to me the last 11yrs, I feel like she is my Nanny!!!! Ok enough sappy drama......
    I will most likely be drinking tonight...probably just some wine, I'm alittle beered out from last night!

    Glad she's okay =]

    No drinks for me last night and it was actually really easy. Think my mindset has changed after reading about alcohol and weight loss. I am going out tonight with friends to finally celebrate one of the groups birthdays and I'm going to try and be good. I'll keep in mind that when there is booze in the body the fat torching gets put on the back burner.

    Glad to hear she is doing so well, I hope her recovery is smooth. Must have been such a stressful time for you, enjoy your wine and relax a bit now x

    Kate, super happy that G-ma is doing well...number one thing you as a family can do is GET HER UP and MOVING. In the chair, to the bathroom, etc. It's the #1 thing that families can do to sped things up. Of course, check with the nurse, he, he.

    Kat, good mindset....you and Robin both get zeros for yesterday!

    Day 11, still no alcohol (except a little red wine for flavouring with a beef dish but that doesn't count!). When I was at the gym last I noticed my 'swooshes' were peeling off my trainers so I think I might reward myself at the end of the month with new trainers if I manage to stick to it :happy:

    and the best cure for that is to have some more alcohol :happy:

    Kblue, I'm glad your grandma is okay now.

    Thanks RJ for your comment earlier this week.....seems to be working:

    It's been an amazing 2 weeks (officially tomorrow) with 2 hypnotism sessions done. 5 lbs lost (I had been stuck for 2 months not losing), drinking is way, way down. Actually did some walking too.
    One Budlight 12 oz and 4 oz white wine Monday
    One Budlight 12 oz and one 8 oz Budlight (love the mini cans!) Tuesday through Thursday
    2) 1oz tequila and dt. 7 up Friday. Probably will repeat that tonight. Maybe.

    There are other changes too; I'm not as anxious among crowds, even attended an event on Monday where there was 50+ people and I knew 3. I felt pretty comfortable. Usually I make excuses why I can't even attend.
    I actually cleaned and organized my desk (boy did it need it!). Just feeling a whole lot more positive! Sooner or later (prob later) I look forward to not wanting a drink during the week without all the head conversation (I shouldn't, yeah I should, but I shouldn't, ah just blow it off and drink kinda conversation.)
    If I should go real bad I bet I will have that hangover from hell, cause my practicing is way down! lol I don't anticipate it.
    We will see. lol

    Looks like so far the weekend is rounding out nicely for y'all. Have fun for the rest of the weekend!! :drinker:

    Cat, congratulation on all the succes. You must feel incredible about all of it. I'm happy that you found something that works for you and is producing results. YAY!!

    Cat, that is amazing! Congrats on all the positive steps forward.

    So far, nothing today. A huge-*kitten* red bull helped my hangover and I did a long yoga practice while the kids napped.

    New plan of action/personal challenge. I'm going to try and only have alcohol on Saturdays but I won't get too crazy if Friday comes and I want some wine with the fiancé.

    Took yesterday as my rest day so I made up for it today and it was a darn good bike ride. I'm starving now though haha, time for some grub!

    So, many drinks Friday night but it was with my girlfriends who I don't often get to see and we had a blast so it was worth it. Bit of a hangover yesterday but mostly just felt tired. Had a bottle of prosecco last night then most of another bottle with the fiancé. Feel fine today and especially good now after my bike ride :smile:

    Hope everyone has a lovely Sunday!

    Sunday - 0
