    I have never been so glad to find a group of people in my life! I enjoy my cheap-*kitten* wine. I diet. I lose weight and exercise. I drink. I am 54.
    Thank you for being grown ups who are honest!

    Hi SoCal....thank you! I hope to join in a bit more. LOL I realize that I've got 19 days til my dr. appt. so I am aiming to cut out the booze.....so it'll be a little tough the next few days to maintain a zero.....but it would be so much better for me when I get my check up. lol I said this to myself 2 weeks ago and now it is crunch time. sigh....

    And your dinner tonight sounds so delish!!

    Hey Lushes....enjoying a nice vodka soda atm...I was able to get off at noon today and took a good nap

    I'm going for a nice brisk walk around the lake tomorrow, get some housework done and a ballgame in the evening...done deal.

    Tuesday is another brutal barre yoga. The body is changing slowly. I am grateful for some of the challenges I am in to keep me going. Yep, jean mini-skirt is not so bad.

    Tomorrow, I am shooting for a zero!!

    I was upfront with my doctor..told them I had a drink or two in the evenings. My bp is 116/68(last week), and I had lost another two pounds from the last time they saw me. She is not super happy about the concept of my drinking, but after a clean liver test, she doesn't have much to say about it. My health problems are due to advanced arthritis, not bad organs. The only reason I am losing weight is because of the stress on my knees.

    The concept that adult people are willing to give up all the vices we have taken on through our years is a great big nasty buger green lie! I may have given up fried foods and smoking, as well as sex since my sweet husband passed away, but I am damned if I am giving up the pleasures of a glass of wine, or sip of whiskey in the evenings...

    I had a weekend of good food and good drink but bummer spending. I was getting ready to purchars airfare (first class) to Hawaii for next February but i held off. Good thing because Sunday we had to replace the water heater. That basically took all the money I had on hand for Hawaii. It was enough to make a girl drink so I did. A lovely bottle of Chardonay after many vodka diet gingerales. Saturday I cooked a pork shoulder in tequila, lemon lime and orange juices, chipotle peppers, stock and lemon soda. It turned out so tasty. I served the pulled pork over a sweet potato hash.

    the weather yesterday was finally beautiful so we bar b queued chicken for dinner with roasted corn. (hence the bottle of white wine)

    So I will be trying to take a break today. I am back out on travel Wednesday but this is a short trip.

    I finally got my fitbit up and running. I hope it motivates me a little.

    Happy lushing all.

    Friday night was pretty lushy for me, but Saturday night I had 0.

    I think I'll have 0's until Wednesday when the hubby & I are going to a concert with our friends :) I don't have to work on Thursday or Friday! WOO HOO!

    Sun - yeah, I was feeling the effects of 'bottle flu' all day. 1 and half oz. of whiskey to go night-night. I feel good now.

    I need some zeros in my life right now. The scale is going the wrong way and I exercise way too much for that. So, here we go:

    Monday, 0
    Tuesday, 0
    Wednesday, 0
    Thursday, 0
    Friday, ???
    Saturday, ???
    Sunday, 0

    Sipped wine from around 2pm until 10is? Maybe had about a bottle and a half, along with water and got plenty of rest and alas no hangover. I need to sip more often, it was nice just having a steady good feeling buzz and not go from stone sober to drunk in an hour .

    Undecided about my cleanse but even if I don't do it it'll be a 0 for me tonight =]

    Me too!

    Next week may be another story. The fiancé has to go to Bermuda for business and asked if I wanted to go with him. I am not a fan of flying as most of you know, so next week might have some more drinks.

    Holy cow, it's already the second week in May! Last weekend was a draw. Literally. Draw after draw after draw. Meh, it's Monday. Dust myself off and start again!

    Hey Jo welcome!! Nothing like a doc appt to get motivated, right?? You are doing fine.

    Calorie count will be good today. Did a few minutes of exercise. Not gonna have any alcohol tonight. (That's going to bite, but I will keep the goal in mind....)

    Nice, easy drinking Kat, congrats!

    Well after spending last week looking after the sick one and cleaning up some pretty bad messes she made because she was sick, I was actually able to clean today. I cleaned like a mad woman all day and just got done a little while ago with my hour bike ride. Fiancé texted and said he's not going to get home for dinner after all so another week of late nights. I'm not that hungry anyway and it's gorgeous out so I still have the house open. Think I'll have some wine, watch TV and relax with the fur babies :smile:

    I know I was thinking the same thing...but, alas, summer break is coming

    Tomorrow I am going to Barre yoga again...it took me a few days to recover from that one...maybe, I will be too weak to squeeze a lime

    Have fun SoCal at the game...try and sit next to Jack :bigsmile: It would be funny to see you on TV creepin' up on him

    Where's MamaLush at?

    Kat, the trip would be amazing and lots of peeps take xanax that are nervous about flying.
