Hi all!!
I refrained for 2 days..does that count, kim?? Seriously I woke up this morning all proud of myself like I managed to accomplish a major feat. :ohwell:
I did get in a good kickboxing workout which will be erased by all the carne and pollo asada I've had marinating for 2 days...shrimp cocktail, grilled corn, homemade flour tortillas, salsa, guacamole...plenty of munchies...and of course wine, beer and cocktails.
Maybe my son's buddies will stop by and devour most of it so I can try to be moderate with my consumption.
Enjoy your day everyone!! :drinker:0 -
Ha, ha...that's my threshold as well...yesterday was a marathon day for me...4 beers at the casino, 5 vodka/soda at happy hour and 3 mojitos at my besties house....long day of drinks, so nothing for me today.
Your dinner sounds AMAZING!! I would love to make homemade tortillas. All the ones in the stores are full of additives. The boy's friends are fools if they don't come around.0 -
I hope everyone had a fabulous 4th of July!!!
Very lushy week so far-
Monday-4 miller lites at ribfest.....along with some amazing beef brisket
Tuesday- vodka and diet tonics and some red wine
Wednesday- lots of beer and some skinny girl margarita
Thursday- 0
Friday- 0
Saturday- drinks I am sure
Sunday- same as Saturday
Starting to really get back on track starting Monday, clothes are feeling a bit snug and I know its due to all the summer boozing!0 -
so I found the sweet tea vodka and i had 3 yesterday. We didn't do anything because hubs was fighting that damn kidney stone again so he was curled up in a fetal ball all day. I didn't eat much and I was on the dreadmill for an hour and a half.
Today will be spend cleaning up all the crap in the yard from the fireworks. I ususally don't mind and I clean up my neighbors place because we ususally cause some of the mess but not this year and It doesn't look like the neighbor that did is going to do any cleaning in our area. what a jerk.0 -
Ugh. I've been a lushy, lushy girl. We lost power Friday night and it wasn't restored until late in the evening July 3. As such, I entertained myself by drinking.
I'm looking forward to an IPA tomorrow when I see Dot!Anyone else considering refraining for a while?
After I get back from CO...yes!0 -
Hello Lushes! Long time no see.
Now this is weird, it has been awhile since I have been here but right after I clicked on this thread and starting reading, at the bottom of the first page came up some ads for alcohol addiction and treatment.... is that something new? I sure haven't clicked on any treatment ads in the past. Maybe MFP is trying to tell me something? :laugh:
Same old lush here, nothing new.0 -

Oh no...if that ad is trying to tell you something, the ad I am getting is for Botox :noway:
Had a dry 4th. Not as many neighborhood fireworks this year as in the past.
Sounds like a bunch of us are trying to dry out. After Friday it's back to drinking for me and I have to tell I am looking forward to it.0 -
Good to see you McDeb!
I'm hungover as all hell. Heading to the beach for some fresh air..hoping that'll help.0 -
Debbie!!!!!!!!!11
I had one frozen mango/rum drink yesterday and one sweet tea vodka and lemonade...oh, and one vodka red bull, so not too terribly lushy yesterday.0 -
I am drinking cider and eating dark chocolate, happy July lushes x0

Okay, I am old and working in the yard (digging out grass and moving pavers and rockery) totally suck. I am hot and exhausted and only about a quarter of the way done. DH is too sick to help so it gets hard. I am thinking it is time to kick off my shoes and have some lemonade and sweet tea vodka. I start again on the yard tomorrow. I just have to get it done by sunday. :drinker:
Yvonne, I wish I had a cider right now. that sounds great.
Good job Dot.0 -
Hello my Lushes. Yes, it's Pappa Lush. You know I have to check in every now and then. I hope you have all been well. Some new faces (welcome). I have finally gotten back on the horse with exercise, now can I only do it with abstaining for even a day!
I hope to see you all soon.0 -

Enjoy!!!0 -
Glad you stopped by Papa Lush. You are always welcome here.
Kblue- love the Dash hats.
Another beautiful sunny day back to the hard labor and then the relaxing afternoon ans whatever libations that will bring.0 -
Kate - have a great weekend & make sure you drink lots of water with that extreme heat!! Dehydration is dangerous!!
I caved on the 4th since the hubby was sick...I went and got a bottle of wine, and a bottle of whiskey (for the hubs)..which he actually drank & it helps it throat! So, that made me happy. He is now feeling much, much better!!!
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend & stay safe with the extreme heat throughout the country!!0 -

XOXO0 -
Thu - 6 beers0

Thanks, Kate! I am so happy he's feeling better too!! I swear, there is NOTHING worse than a sick man. They are helpless creatures. I think it's hilarious. But it's nice he's finally up & about!
Good idea on the 35pk of water!! You'll certainly need it! :drinker:0 -

Are you sitting down? Friday night, 0
I would love a cold beer but this girl has got to get the weight back down.
Shout out to all the peeps enjoying their nice Friday night!!0 -
Good job Kim!
Hi pepe Lush!
Well, I DID get that JOB and start tomorrow. And having zero today, 3 yesterday, Friday 6.....
THIS week will be interesting to say the least. I get to use my mechanical engineering and accounting backgrounds, a nice combo for project work. Starting CAD drawings from scratch, yessss!!!, on all product lines. Too good! We'll see what I say by Friday!
After 32 months of not going to the daily grind, I bet Friday will be one hellava celebration!

Back to monday, BOO!!!
Friday-who knows, some beers, some wine and a shot of something
Saturday-It was so friggin hot. Had 2 margaritas and 2 beers before we left for the dock party. Had 2 beers there and 3 "juices", tons of water but the heat got me and I couldn't keep up with the water retention I got all swollen and miserable I had to go home early....very unlike me :laugh: but I got a good night sleep!!!
Sunday-1 beer and 1/2 a bottle of wine
Monday-Thursday-0. I'm just feeling like I need to cut back during the week since I've been really lushy on the weekends. Also, going to try and get back to having beers one day a week, its killing me!!0 -
Congrats on the job Pam.
busted my butt working on the dog run all weekend. didn't do to bad on the food and wine. Aiming for a 0 today but we will see how I feel by the time the work day is done.0 -
BACK!!!!! :bigsmile:
I had an absolutely amazing week down in NC at the beach. Our house was right on the beach so we could sit on the deck and when we got warm just walk out onto the beach. I needed this vacation more than I realized, I came back completely relaxed and with a knew outlook on everything. I realized I need to do more things that make me happy like sitting outside and reading while safely catching some rays :glasses: I focus so much on the house and things I feel I should be doing that I just get so stressed out and lose it and then drink way too much. I know I can balance maintaining the house and fur babes but still have time to make myself happy It was certainly a boozy vacation but since I spent most of the time in a bathing suit I didn't eat that much so I felt pretty good the whole time and pretty good when we got back. Today I've spent so far doing some laundry and some other picking up around the house and even got a work out in! Thinking I'll head out on our deck now and start the second book in the series of zombie books I'm reading
Sounds like most everyone had a nice holiday week despite a few pitfalls. I missed you all
but I always find it nice to get away from electronics and the internet and such on vacations and just detach
As for drinking, I'm not worried about 0's anymore but I would like to keep it to 2 a night during the week but if I happen to get a 0 that's fine too and the weekend is fair game so long as the food is in check. I received my case of wine while on vacation so maybe wine tonight or margs, who knows!
We also ordered our invitations which should be coming soon, they're awesome and we didn't follow the thought that they should reflect your wedding, instead they reflect the season our wedding is in ... my favorite ... Fall!
I hope everyone's summer is going well :glasses:
Oh, and thanks mama lush :blushing: I can't wait to go pick up and try on my dress :bigsmile:0 -
Congrats Pam!!!
We booked our Maui vacay!!!!
Time to drop some lbs. I drank too much this weekend. Lotsa crazy *kitten* going down and I coped by drinking..which of course is not coping at all. I need to pull it together and get back to not erasing all my hard work by over indulging.
0 tonight and the rest of the week. I can do this.0 -
Fri - a couple of beers at the Card's game
Sat - some beers after a pool party
Sun - 3 beers and 2 shots0 -
Syd I love Hawaii. We are going Kauai in February.
kat - glad you had an awesome vacay at the beach.
So I was going to aim for zero and then I got off work 40 minutes late and it is hot and sunny so I am thinking that a bottle of white will hit the spot.
Happy lushing all.0 -
Hi All...
Kat, glad that you found something about yourself to make your you happier...I've learned to just let the house be dirty sometimes...It is, what it is, ya know?
Mama, you celebrate that devine day
Pam, congrats on the new job...so happy for you
Oh, Hawaii sounds marvelous
Sunday, 0
Monday, 0
I'm aiming for a few more zeros this week or moderation...no more marathon days like Saturday
I leave for Chicago in 8 days for a long week there...lots of working days to make some $$$$.0 -
Oh, daughter applied for college today. Son is talking about buying a house in the near futues talking all grown up. I see the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Or, shall I say the bar by the beach, in this case. SCORE!!0
-
Whooee!
Friday...2 big-*kitten* beers at a late lunch with Shelli and MissKortney, then many more beers later that night. Blue Moon mostly. Yum!
Saturday was a coup,e glasses of wine before we hit downtown. 3 margaritas at dinner. Many chocolate cake shots and a red bull vodka at the bar where we danced our *kitten* off, then some wine when we got home...like at 2:30.
So fun!!0
