    Tuesday, lots and lots, long day at the state fair from 2'ish until 11...thinking 12'ish
    Wednesday, 0

    Listened to Hairball last night, think 80's boy hair bands. It was a fist-pumping good time. This means summer is officiallly over and the kids go back to school next week.

    On to football, Ockoberfest and falling leaves...oh my

    I had 2 glasses of sauvignon blanc last night. I consider this a win as I left part of an open bottle in the fridge and GASP! I even left a little sip in my last glass! Tonight I'll probably drink 4 glasses of wine. That will be my goal.

    Good luck Chloe, the lushes are rallying for you.

    Kate, I love how you already have your 10 oz of wine planned. It's so controlled. Great job.

    Last night was a win. We decided just to run out for to Champps for soup and salad. Ron ordered drinks and I did not. I will be good until Sunday when we go for our freebie night at the casino.

    Shooting for a zero tonight!!

    Yaaaaaaaay! Fall is my favorite and I love football :bigsmile: I received most of what I ordered for Halloween this year. Watch this will be the year we get kids and there will be a terrifying zombie on the porch :devil:

    Had a mixed drink while the fiancé worked out then we each had a beer which weirdly made my stomach feel better :noway: I said to Kyle "Is it weird that a beer is settling my stomach?" and he said no. I had 2 more because it was nice not feeling sick.

    I weighed in this morning even though I usually do it on Fridays because I was feeling uber slim this morning and it said 116.8 :smile: 1.8 pounds away from my first goal, honestly wasn't sure if I'd lose the weight I wanted to before the wedding but it's budging and it feels good.

    It's the fiancés late night at work so may or may not have a drink or 2 but I have to get up early so I can work out before going to the doctor.

    Happy Thursday lushes :drinker:

    Hello my dear lushes. no work today because I had to drive hubby to and from his colonoscopy appointment. Yep we old folks have to do that once we hit 50 but the big baby put it off for 4 years. I had vodka cranberries last night and I am not sure what tonight will bring.

    great control Kim.
    Kat awesome on so close to the goal.
    Syd wishing I was in Maui too.
    Welcome Tiffany
    Good luck Chloe

    I love you all my lushy friends. Now its time to fix myself a cocktail since I got in my goal of 10,000 steps and 15 flights of stairs. :bigsmile:

    Wednesday, 0 - good self control at the restaurant
    Thursday, 0 - exhaustion set in and work in the AM doesn't help the situation

    Thank you Ashley, I try to make the lushes here proud. But, I am too tired to even slurp down my 2 designated beers tonight. Probably good 'cause then it makes the average seem somewhat reasonable.

    Robin, glad that you made your goals of moving. I did my first bout of exercise today as well and hope the trend continues.

    Thanks ladies :smile: feels good having the hard work pay off and breaking through those dreaded plateaus.

    I thought about sleeping in this morning since I didn't get much sleep but I decided to hop on the scale to see if yesterday was just a fluke and it was down .2 so that motivated me to stay up and I'm currently having my coffee and will then get my work out done before going to the doctor. I know she's just going to tell me what she told my Mom and Gram that it's just stress messing with my stomach and if it keeps up after the wedding to go back.

    Had a mixed drink and a couple beers last night, as soon as I had a beer my stomach felt better again, just so weird! I posted it online and my bestfriend goes "Is there anything beer can't solve?" haha I guess not :drinker:

    Well happy Friday lushes :flowerforyou:

    didn't end up with a cocktail until almost 8 last night afterall, I felt guilty cuz Doug couldn't have one after the colonoscopy. Has to wait until today. Tonight will involve heavy consumption. The sibling meeting to discuss the MIL situation is tomorrow morning and Doug is freaked and stressed so I am going to bring him a bottle of Goose. He will need it.

    Have an awesome Friday night!

    Robin, maybe you should bring the bottle to the meeting

    Chloe, you must be dying!!! I hate uncertainy. I deal with it by drinking, ha ha :wink:

    Kat, you have a wise girlfriend!!

    So, I went to bobypump yesterday and then zumba today. After Zumba, I took a 2.5 hour nap. I laid in bed and my arms and legs JUST COULD NOT move. The body is in shock and requires some LIQUOR, thinking Sam Adams Ocktoberfest.
