    Wolf-glad you enjoyed your vacationand YAY on the no weight gain, that's awesome!!!!
    I love boston and have been to cape cod so many times...actually 7yrs ago today my husband proposed to me on a vacation to cape cod!!!

    Awww...Happy proposal anniversary:smile: I lived the first 12 years of my life in MA but never remember going to the Cape. It was great, I just wished we had scheduled more time there...next time.
    Wolf-so much easier not to drink when others are being good, kinda makes me feel guilty if I am drinking and they aren't

    Yeah, I have to say I was proud and disappointed at the same time:smile::grumble:
    Good luck on your 5K tonight!!
    Neck/shoulder MUCH better. I used a heating pad most of the day and it seemed to do the trick. Thanks everyone!

    My phone died today and I felt like I was going thru crack withdrawals. I guess I should be thankful it didn't die while on the 8+ hour road trip we start tomorrow.
    I have a new phone and I don't care that it cost me $200 at this point.
    But damn those m'fers at Verizon have us by the gonads.

    0 for 3 days straight and I dropped a few lbs but I'm not going to log it becasue all that will change in the next 5 days while we're on the road, I'm sure.
    I'll check in from my new phone while I'm gone :happy:
    Behave yourselves. Or not. :drinker:

    Syd - You must get those expensive 4G type phones...I am such a cheapo, I always get the free phones with the 2 year contract, but then again I don't need the data plan or anything, just phone and text. Have a great trip!

    Kat - Hope your beaslebub feels better.

    Thursday - 3 vodka/diet cran grape/ fresca, but the night is still young :bigsmile: I have been feeling really lushy lately, must be something in the air and I don't care.

    3 vodka diet sunkist lemon. No sleep last night. DH didn't like the fan going so he slept downstairs. When that happens Bodi and Ritter can't choose and they go back and forth all night and I like the bedroom door closed for light reasons so I was up and down all night. Plus we had a thunder storm which freaked the boys out.. so I plan on unwinding on the plane to vegas and that means drinks!

    Happy lushing!

    Robin, Bodi and Ritter.

    Kat-how's your baby doing?

    Monday-0
    Tuesday-0
    Wednesday-1 small margarita
    Thursday-1 delicious manhattan
    Friday-probably a cocktail of sorts and some wine. We haven't had wine in the house for a couple of weeks so I am very much looking forward to sitting on the couch and relaxing with a glass.
    Saturday-bar hopping with my gf, I am super excited!!! My husband is on his way to a bacholer party this weekend so we don't have a babysitter, could be trouble :wink:

    Happy friday!!!!!!!!!!!!

    5K went awesome last night! It was pretty hot out, so my time wasn't the best, but I didn't take any walking breaks and felt great after. They had a nice cookout, a fro yo stand and of course beer. I skipped all the food options and made a beeline for the beer. They ended up having bud lite and I had 3 delicious ones.

    Monday-0
    Tuesday-0
    Wednesday-0
    Thursday- 3 bud lites

    No clue what the plans are for the weekend. So we will see?

    Last night I was all alone and drank too much...sad!! 1 manhattan and 3 glasses of wine...I measured the 1st one, which was 8oz and all I intended to have but my kitties and I were hanging on the couch so I just kept topping off the glass, oh well. I felt pretty decent this morning, that's probably because I am a loser and was in bed at 930 and woke up at 730..10hrs of sleep :laugh:
    Today, I probably will not be able to track...afternoon bar hopping with my girl woohoo!!!!
    Have a great weekend everyone!!!

    Bahahahahaha I love this so much.

    Have fun in Vegas mama lush!!!

    Thanks for the well wishes for my Weasle Beasle, she's feeling better :smile: No more getting sick and she's eating and holding it down.

    I've been very good with my booziness the last few days, I've listened to my "drink voice" and stopped when I should AND I've worked out 6 days this week so the scale was very nice yesterday and I'm feeling quite slim :bigsmile:

    Last night we went out for date night so we split a bottle of red, though I drink quickly so I think I had more :drinker: Then I had an extra glass and when we got home we each had a glass of scotch and watched Damages .... a fantastic date night. I felt good this morning and just got done with my work out. My will power with food and booze certainly is touchy but this week was one of those weeks where it seemed to balance out, I didn't eat quite as much so the boozy beverages were accounted for not to mention I worked out too.

    We're going to the soon to be in-laws in a bit so I'm not sure if there will be drinks there or if we'll just have drinks when we get home. Think I'm going to paint my nails in the meantime :smile: .

    Since the lush board is so quiet tonight, before we went to the fiancés parents he gave me a scotch ... Said I needed a drink to deal with his family haha. Had 2 glasses of champagne and a glass of wine at his parents and now we're home and I've had 2 glasses of wine and I think it's bed time :smile: Listening to the "drink voice" again :drinker: Tomorrow we're going out for lunch and to get some things at the store, not sure what the day will hold for drinks but I'm happy with how I've been lately. I sat here either Monday or Tuesday with a hangover and said to myself why would you do this? It only hurts you. Since then I've been listening to myself, I'm done with wasting days and weekends by having too much to drink followed by not remembering things and having a hangover which then ruins the day after. Time will tell how long this frame of mind will last but I hope it is for a very long time :smile: Now, instead of another glass of wine, I'm going to gather the fur babies and fiancé and head to bed.

    Goodnight all :heart:

    Very lushy weekend for me...WAY too many long island ice teas by the campfire last night....shocking I didn't have more of a hangover today....doing pretty good today but the night is still early!

    Enjoy your trip Sydney :)

    The Friday Funny made me laugh out loud so much so that others in my home looked at me oddly... :bigsmile:

    Off to go enjoy the rest of the evening :flowerforyou: :drinker:

    Wine last night, may have had 1 or 2 too many but still listened to myself and stopped and feel good today :smile: It was a great weekend and not just because I didn't drink too much or have a hangover but because the fiancé and I just had a good time hanging out. He starts earnings this week which means late nights so I'll be having drinks but I'm hoping to stick to my new mind frame because I very much like remembering all of the night before and not having a hangover :drinker:

    As soon as this big ol' kitty cat decides to get off my lap I'm going to tackle the huge amount of laundry and work out at some point.
  • amysj303

    I am not having a good day. i left my home for a weekend and it was warm. DH didn't throw out the chicken container from roasted chicken dinner on Thursday. there were maggots on my kitchen counter when I got home today. I am so grossed out I can't even consider cooking in my kitchen until I can scour it from head to toe. I did clean up the grossness and I know that the kitchen is fine but psycologically I am totally unable to eat anything much less prepare anything. I am so hungry but everytime I think about eating anything I see the and smell the ktichen that greated me on my return and I get disgusted and lose my apetite despite my grumbling stomach and aching head. *shutters again at the memory* I really need/want a drink but since I haven't had anything but a cheese plate with fruit on the airplane at 7 this morning I know that would be bad. I am seriously in tears and don't know what to do. Just thought I would share my misery. DH is usually so fectidious and really good about taking out trash and stuff but not this weekend. he was focused on building the dog house.

    Robin, that is enough to make anyone lose their appetite. I am surprised nobody had cashed in on that diet strategy yet. Seriously, I would maybe light some of those yummy smelling candles or better yet go out to eat. Love your new profile picture, must be difficult living so far away.

    =\ agree with Wolf that would take away anyones appetite. There's always take out or like Wolf said you could go out to eat.

    I wasn't hungry for dinner again but had a few bites of caesar salad with a glass of wine and now some coffee with Disaronno while the fiancé makes some homemade apple crisp for dessert :smile:

    Didn't scroll thru all the pages...but, died of laughter/horror (not sure which) of the maggots

    Leave Chicago tomorrow and it's proabably a good thing. Daughter's grad party was a huge success and the wedding was awesome. Time to go home and focus on truly, truly being GOOD.

    Lushy Monday, it was paced though so I feel good :smile: Looking forward to my hour bike ride later after getting some house work done. Not sure what drinks will be in store tonight but it's the last dinner home (minus part of the weekend) for the fiancé for a few weeks so even if I'm not hungry I'm going to eat some of whatever he wants to get or make. Things have been so good the last week or so, I'm not looking forward to these next few weeks of late nights but I think they'll go quickly and before you know it the wedding will be here! Eeeek

    So I really just didn't eat yesterday. I did have a couple of Vodka Sodas and of course Ritter knocked over the first one. I am going to try to go have breakfast at the cafe here but I have a real psycho reaction to food or drink and I am not sure how I will do. I managed one cracker with some cheese last night but I got really weirded out. Later I had a few bites of plum and one bite of Doug's steak. . (the vodka soda was my choice so I could see right thru it. nothing could hide in it.)

    I have to tell you all the Doug spent last night scouring the kitchen. He removed everything from the counters and wiped every square inch down with bleach on the counters and the appliances.. (I didn't even ask him to do anything it was on his own violition he felt so bad about leaving the trash out).

    Robin that is so gross!!! Although I did have to laugh when you said you had vodka soda so nothing could hide in it :laugh:

    Kate- Oh boy do I know that feeling! I get so anxious the day after drinking to much, I always feel like I pissed somebody off! I tend to run my mouth when I get too drunk :ohwell:

    Monday-0

    still going to shoot for zeros until Saturday....
