    Went to the salon today and got a totally new look....dark, dark hair...a new haircut

    Stay strong, Sydney...I'm with you tonight!!

    Oh YAY..fun!I I *love* going to the salon and getting pampered. I actually went recently and got some low lights put in cuz I was getting too much of the summer sun bleached out look.

    And I just had a decent workout and looked at my calories. I have a feeling there may be some drinks tonight. :ohwell: I need to be up early though so hopefully if I do drink, I won't completely go nuts and just have 1 or 2. Yeah..I'm an adult and can moderate, right??

    Moderation seems to come and go with me :ohwell: I had 2 bottles of champagne on Sunday but paced myself and didn't have any hangover on Monday. Then Tuesday I just had way too much champagne too quickly when I was out with my best friend and then last night, no dinner and after 2 margs I was thought "eh why not have another" If the fiancé can put up with me when I'm crazy like that then he's certainly a keeper :smile:

    Yeah Kat..I need to learn to sip. I think it's worse in the summer because it's so beautiful out and the type of drinks I make seem "refreshing" so I guzzle. Water helps for sure. Gunna try to remember to keep some next to me at all times.

    Nope!! LOL.

    Almost reached for a beer to drink on the deck and relax and stopped myself...Yay, I did it!!

    Awwwww kim. I dunno how you do it...and how you don't bring every patient home with you. I have a psych degree and couldn't deal..that's when I added the business degrees. Dealing with numbers helped somewhat...but then I was stuck with accountant types. So I'm thinking bringing home patient's issues might be better!! :tongue: Enjoy your night out..you deserve it!!

    Managed another 0 tonight but I'm heading to the pool tomorrow for a workout. I usually come home quite ready for a cocktail after swimming and sun. Still planning on all 0's for the week.


    Ok, so just read through all of the July lushiness - Happy July all!

    Sydney - Hey! I'm one of those accountant types and I'm fun & lushy!! LOL I'm so jealous of your Hawaii vacay - can I come too??

    I was dry all week until last night - my 21 year old was in a car accident - she's just fine but the car is toast....needless to say when I got that call from her, crying, saying she was in a car accident - well that was tough! :sad: Thank God she is fine as are the other people involved....cars can be replaced....so we came home and :drinker: :drinker: Not the best way to deal but hey....what are you gonna do :noway:

    Came home made a pitcher of margaritas, sat outside and had chips and salsa for dinner, it was lovely and really what i needed. Even though its friday I am not looking forward to the day...this place is gonna be a stress factory for the next couple of weeks, FUN!

    Tonight I will probably have some wine or something.
    Tomorrow I am getting a massage, then out to lunch at a new beer place YIPPY!

    Too many margs again. I also had chips and salsa blue! We bought the salsa down in topsail, habanero mango, soooo good.

    Dentist today then hanging with mom & gram so there will be wine. Finally bringing my car in tomorrow to get fixed and then I can hopefully make an appointment to get my license soon!

    haha amcanzo!! if all accountant types were like us then we'd be a much more fun group!! I'm sorry about your daughter and her car..but happy she's ok. Scary stuff.

    I drank last night. Not a ton...and I drank a lot of water too. But I didn't last until today like I had planned on doing. I think I'm going to go for a 0 tonight. Maybe the whole weekend? Yeah..probably not. :laugh:

    TGIF lushes!

    Yep since I am one of those accountant types too. I used to be Director of Finance with lots of BS and now I am just an Analyst. Just me and my numbers. (I had to spend a year being a Procurement Agent to get my foot back in the door but now I get to play with numbers again. Yay!) And dear lord can I have a good time!!


    Although last night at my farewell happy hour I was very moderate. 3 lemon drops over 2 hours. *pats self on the back for moderation:wink:

    Wednesday, 7...started right when I got home :blushing:
    Thursday, 0
    Friday, 0

    Total: 7

    I decided not to go to wine tasting tonight. So, I'll make tonight a 0. I do find it rather amazing how the lbs come off when I don't drink. I was down 2 lbs. on Wednesday. Obviously, not where I was before but better.

    I have to say, you guys are killing me with the margs and I would really like one. However, I have to learn to just say NO.

    Way to go Yvonne, I am so glad they called and you were ready to submit your app and get the job. Lots of wine to celebrate!

    Kim i wish I could find that just say no attitude you seem to have found. good for you.

    I think I will be doing the sweet tea vodka and diet lemon sunkist today. I am celebrating the fact that it is Saturday. In a week I will be holding my beautiful granddaughter.

    Well another 0 last night!

    Tonight is our Breaking Bad premiere viewing party though (best f'ing show on tv)..so I have a pretty good feeling I will have at least one drink. Grilling tonight also. So at least I will try to get in a good workout before the festivities begin. :drinker:

    Mellow lushness this weekend. A bottle of red with dinner Saturday and some sweet tea vodka and diet Lemon Sunkist to ease my aching legs and arms from the paving stones I laid in the dog run on Sunday.

    I am going to strive for a 0 tonight but who knows.

    Hey Everyone!!!
    Friday-2 margs and 1/2 a bottle of white wine
    Saturday-1 flight and 7 beers...as I look at this it doesn't seem right cause that doesn't seem like alot (considering I had my first beer at 11am and went to bed at 11pm) I was pretty trashed, haha!!!
    Sunday-3 small glasses of wine and 1 beer
    I know I say this every week but I'm shooting for zeros til friday BUT my husband is starting his overtime work this week and I usually love a nice big glass of wine to help me sleep when he's not around....we shall see!!!

    Edit cause I just remembered I had two other beers on saturday...forgot we stopped at a bar on the way home from lunch, haha!!
