Hello all! I, too, have been MIA. Did well (remember all the zeros? ) for awhile then came vaca to the hometown. Saw so many friends as well as my son, and sisters and brother. 7 days of go, go, go. Once back it seemed that I had the munchies on things that I really don't eat very often.....bread type things, argh.....and many beers. Bloat, bloat. So I am back at it and really want to take it down a level. I did gain about 7 lbs, and in the last 3 days lost 5.....all water bloat. That entailed no beer. Just my happy lil drink of tequila and dt 7. I have sworn off yeasty breads, crackers etc, and beer. It'll be veggies, and proteins......I am hyped!
Wish me luck!
Hope everyone is doing good, one way or another! :flowerforyou: Missed my fellow lushes!!

Good Job Robin for getting in the 10,000 steps. Yes, I think everyone is busy with summer right now.

I wanted to go river tubing today; but, there are 50% chance of thunderstorms. I am sure that it would have involved drinking. Although, it would have made for some excitement. LOL
Instead, I'll be back at barre tonight working those muscles that I didn't even know I had. No soreness tho!
If anything a glass of wine would be nice :happy:0 -
So far this week, I've had 0's. That will probably change tomorrow night...hubby's night off. Then we're going to Mississippi this upcoming weekend for a whole week to see my brother. So...it's going to be a lushy, lushy time! I will have to abstain from alcohol for a while once I get back...after the 4th. LOL.
Hope everyone is doing well!0 -
Good to see you Pam!
One (large) glass of wine last night. Probably another tonight. Hope to get in a good workout. It's time for me to get past this current plateau I've been in before we take off for our next trip in a month.0 -
One of my best IRL friends just joined MFP, so I directed her here...she's a beer *kitten*.
Might have a few tonight...my birthday is on Friday (hellooooooo 39!) but I have class on Saturday so I don't want to be hung over.0 -

I'm probably going to be drinking tonight..trying for zero's tomorrow & Friday. Hubby & I leave town on Saturday & won't be home until July 1! So, I'll see you all in the new July group!
We're going to Mississippi where there will be LOTS of drinking going on. We're visiting my big brother & his family. Super fun! Then we're going to see my hubby's big brother in Tulsa w/ the in-laws for the 4th of July. So, starting July 5 I will begin "drying out". It's going to be about 2 weeks staight of drinking every night...fun fun!0 -
Welcome beer *kitten*: aka Shelli!
Good to see you back from your warrioring, kate! Well done!!!
Another glass of wine last night. Tonight is the husband's b-day so we're going out. I'll probably have a cocktail, but don't plan on overdoing it. I'm more worried about eating like crap. I may have to peruse the menu ahead of time and try to plan it out so I don't eat all my calories in one sitting.
Happy humpday lushes! :drinker:0 -
Haven't been very healthy lately. Haven't had an appetite and since I've been in a depressed funk the liquid calories are about my only calories. Up side to that though is the scale is down.
Today is a really rough day. 10 years ago today my Grampa passed away. He took over the role of father to me so we were very close. It makes me happy thinking about memories but also sad being that the only thing I ever knew about if I ever got married was I wanted him to walk me down the aisle. I know he will still be walking with me but I just really wish he was still around with his wisdom and calming presence.
I'm hoping my appetite comes back soon or I may have an I Met Your Mother situation where lily was stressed and lost a bunch of weight leaving her dress too big for her.
Hope all my lovely lushes have been well and enjoying summer which officially starts today. It's super hot and sunny here, my gramp would have loved spending time in his garden like he always did

Sorry about your Grampa. :brokenheart:
I'm still dying to get my hands on Stone's Ruination IPA 10th anniversary edition. I needs it.0 -
The lushes have been busy this morning.
Monday, 0
Tuesday, 1 marg, 2 flirtinis, 1 or 2 red wine....not sure I finished the second one, but I know I poured it. I'll have to look for the glass
Total: 5
Tonight will be NOT A DAMN THING! Nothing really good planned for the weekend. I picked up a bunch of hours because we spend too much money. Well, not hubs, more me. Plus, the house that sucks us dry with the endless updating. Oh, and the sponge children.
Shoutout to Pam!! Nice that you popped back in.
Kat, I hope that your appetite comes back. Gramps would want you to eat and be healthy. :flowerforyou:
Kate, you are a warrior queen
Bridget, have fun in MS...do us lushes proud :drinker:
Shell, I think I drooled over your mentioning the IPA 0 -
Have I shared that already?
:laugh: Love that!0 -
Hello dear lushes.
Welcome beer *kitten*, welcome back Pam and anyone else I missed.
Last night was a bottle of white. And probably will repeat that process tonight.
So big news, I accepted a new position today. A level up and a big raise. A new program altogether and new people and challenges. I can't wait.
chin up or drinks up lushes, what ever works for you!
Robin, Bodi Boy and Ritter bit0 -
Amy, great interpretation.
SoCal, good plan to check out the menu before hand
I found the glass and it was empty. Do I really think it wouldn't be?
Take care, peeps, I'm off to work!0 -
Thanks shelli and welcome to our awesome group
You are very right nisi, in fact the reason I love healthy food so much is because of my Gram and Gramp. Thanks to his garden we always had fresh food and healthy meals. Not sure what the no appetite thing is about because I adore food, I'm sure it'll pass, it's probably just part of this funk thing but I have a feeling that will pass soon too :flowerforyou:0 -
Congrats on your new position, Robin.
I'm like Pavlov's dog when it comes to IPA. :laugh:0 -
Yay Robin!!! Congrats0

Mama Lush for the win!!
I need to mention that Shelli is coming to visit me in a couple of weeks...we'll be drunk the entire time, I'm guessing. :laugh:
Kat
Amy, I love that glass!
Pam, glad to see you round these parts?0 -

Bah, I'm drunk.0 -
If it is anything like our last visit, or my last flight out west, or last Saturday...yes. I'll be drunk and so will you. Guess who's getting crab cakes for her birfday?!?!? And fine Maryland wine.
Speaking of wine, time for another glass.0 -
opening the celebratory bottle as we speak. I get to go to my new job on 7/13. In the meantime, I drink when I get home.:drinker:0
-
Great job, mama lush...now you can afford those extra liquor taxes they threw on you. So, you start on the 13th and will drink upon arrival home. Let me ask, is that a change? LOL :laugh:
Kat, I'm sure lots of emotions are storming in your head with the impending wedding. So, I'm going to make you spit out your drink right now. :noway: When you get preggers on the honeymoon with a little boy, you can name him after gramps. Then, you can teach him all of those fine characteristics.
My daughter has officially graduated HS as of yesterday. I am toasting as we speak. :drinker: Teenage girls are the devil's work.:smokin:
Dot & Shell, I want to visit too :sad:0
