    I went to Body Bump today and realized just how doughy I've gotten...time to firm up!!

    Is that similar to Body Pump?

    Nope, that's my code for group sex...nahh, typo, I really meant Body Pump

    Must be the week for kids to get hurt; my baby rolled off the bed Wednesday morning. Needless to say, I was a freaking mess. It still freaks me out to think of it.....she's okay. But I had to have drinks because of it. That and my late meeting with b*tching neighbors. Let's recap my week:

    Sunday - 5-6 glasses of wine and an Ashley Palmer
    Monday - 2 beers and an Ashley Palmer
    Tuesday - 0
    Wednesday - dirty martini, 2.5 glasses of red
    Thursday - 2 beers, glass of white
    Friday - Tuesday my parents will be here and we like to drink. Oops....I'd like to say I'll keep it in control the next 2 weeks before my birthday, but we'll see.

    BTW, how many September birthdays do we have? I'm a LIbra through and through. I'll be 32 on the 27th.

    Happy Friday lushes!

    still going strong with the zeros....

    Tuesday-0
    Wednesday-0
    Thursday-0

    Plan for tonight is zero also. The hubs wants to go out, but I am going to try to stand my ground and say no! Tomorrow I am going shopping with the BF for her wedding dress and tomorrow night we are having people over for dinner. And I am going to try really hard for a zero on Sunday.

    Wine last night and was happy to see another loss on the scale this am. Going out to dinner with the fiancé tonight so I'll get a good Legs and Back + stationary bike work out done. I'll try to control myself with the bread but it's my favorite so we'll see how much control I WANT to have haha. There will definitely be drinks, today officially marks exactly one month until I'm Mrs. Kyle LaBarre :heart: So this weekend will need to be spent wrapping up the wedding stuff as we have to have everything done and paid for by the 19th. We're going out tomorrow for a friends birthday, can't say I'm thrilled because I hate going out now as does the fiancé but I think it'll be good for us to get out :smile:

    So here's to Friday :drinker: I can't believe it's already the 7th :noway:

    Apparently I can't handle all the sugar in a bottle of wine or prosecco anymore. Feeling a little sluggish and can't wait to sweat it out on my bike!

    Cant wait for my cocktails tonight. I think I am going to have a couple pre dinner vodka and diet tonics, then perhaps some wine with dinner and either continue with the wine or have some lime cactus michelob ultras I bought that have been waiting for me all week in the fridge :drinker: Back to zeros tomorrow!

    Great week Chloe!
    Well deserved getaway, Robin!

    The gang has already started with the bloody Marys and its not even 11am. I'm holding out for a bit but today might be a bit crazy. This kid probably needs to get to college already so all these parties can stop and my liver can get a break.
    Happy weekend lushes!

    Your new pic is beautiful!

    Apparently while I've been losing weight I've also lost tolerance, feeling blah today :sick: Actually going to take today as a rest day, don't remember the last time I did that. My team starts their season today at 4:25!!! :bigsmile: Words can't express how excited I am to finally watch my Packers. We bought more beer and stuff so we're having drinks right now and just relaxing :smile:

    Lime cactus Michelob? Sounds yum, let me know.
    Lushly weekend for me! Friday had a can of champagne, cuz I am classy like that, then split a bottle of red, then saw some art and finished the night at an irish pub with two snakebites.
    Saturday had four beers at tour de fat.
    Sunday, working on a bottle of malbec but I give a glass to a friend who stopped by.

    Amy- the lime cactus michelob ultras are really good, I would definitely recommend it!

    Well my zero on Sunday did not work out as planned and I feel like crap right now.

    Tuesday- Friday- zeros
    Saturday- a few vodka and diet tonics ( I made them pretty week), about a half bottle of wine and one michelob ultra
    Sunday- about 6 miller lites and a half bottle of wine (started at 3 and didn't end until about 10)

    zeros for me until Saturday!

    Kept the hangover at bay with some beers and wine yesterday. Slept great and woke up to a cool, crisp and sunny day :smile: Can't wait until Fall is here to stay :bigsmile: .

    I was thinking about 0's this week until I realized we have to have all the forms for the wedding filled out and dropped off at the manor by next Wednesday so I see a week full of wedding stuff and probably drinks :indifferent: I'm going to try and take the stress out on my work outs though and not anyone around me.

    I can't believe it's already the 10th, this month is flying by even faster than I thought :noway:

    Have a great week lushes!

    Sunday, 6'ish, I don't know but overestimating is better than not. I measured the vodka but didn't count the drinks

    Total: 16.75

    Started out goood and blew it at the end.

    Tonight, I am meeting a friend for pole dancing class. It could be scary. There is no way I could hang from a pole at this point.

    O.k....I am going to start participating instead of lurking. Beer is my weakness. I love it and can drink ALOT of it. I also enjoy my white wine and the occasional margarita.

    I have really gotten off track this summer, but I am back and really going to focus. (I do tend to say this every monday morning...but this time is different!)

    I promise to:
    log EVERYTHING EVERY DAY
    post honestly to all my fellow lushes about the alcohol that I consume.

    My goals:
    work out 4 times per week minimum
    focus on staying within my calorie limit
    STOP SMOKING - I only smoke when I drink - but I drink often. It's gross, expensive, and I don't want to do it anymore.

    So here goes:
    Friday - 1 bottle white, 2 beers (smoked...boo)
    Saturday - 2 margaritas with lunch, 6 beers throughout the evening (smoked...boo)
    Sunday - 0
    Monday - 0

    Welcome jacie..jump in!!!
    Those sound like great goals.

    Welcome jacie!!!! I think those are great goals =] Good job on those 0's I think I'll be making up for all those with 0's this week with wedding stress drinks :noway: Hope you enjoy our little family of lushes, everyone is very supportive whether you're goal is to drink less or not :smile: It's also kind of online therapy haha we can come here and post a rant and then fellow lushes share helpful words.

    Speaking of booze, I'm already looking forward to some wine later :drinker: I've been writing thank you notes for a while now and looking over all the forms we have to fill out for the wedding and it's making my brain want to just take a break. So I'll go and do Shoulders and Arms then an hour on the bike and then I can have me some wine and I won't at all feel guilty :laugh:

    Welcome Jacie - This is the best group to join on MFP, glad you found us.

    Kat - I am excited for you and how close you are to getting hitched. I love that you seem to be enjoying every bit of it even the stressful periods , that's when the booze is the most crucial..Heh? BTW...Sorry about GB, I was hoping Rogers would throw that miracle throw but I guess it wasn't meant to be. Falcon's won, so I am happy :smile: My son is a GB fan so I will cheer them on if they are not playing the Falcons or Patriots.

    Syd - Looks like you got yourself back in business and burning up the calories.

    Kim - Pole dancing, sounds fun...almost as fun as body bump :laugh: Don't wear lotion or you will slide too easily on the pole, at least that's what I heard :wink: .

    Asjerven - Mexican sounds yum, beats what I had for dinner.

    Well I have discovered hard cider. Angry Orchard crisp apple...It's so yummy and tastes like fall in a bottle with a zing. God, I wish it wasn't so high in calories though:sad:

    Sunday - 2 hard ciders
    Monday - 2 hard ciders

    Hi everyone,

    I am also ready to jump in and participate in this thread (been lurking for a while.) You all seem like a really fun group, and I really, really love my cocktails. A little too much sometimes, I'm afraid.

    Anyway, I'd love some encouragement, I'd like to rack up a few nights of zeroes as well. That isn't going to start tonight as I have already poured a nice, large glass of cold Chard. I'm pretty sure it won't be my only one either :blushing:

    I'm always looking for new friends on here, I'd esp love to have some that enjoy my love of the hooch! :drinker:

    oh so much wine and vodka and awesome sipping rum. I am truly a lush. I ate tons of cheese and crackers, bbq smoked pork sliders and more cheese and crackers. had to have something to use the wine to wash it down.:bigsmile:

    So now back to reality and tomorrow I will aim for 3 zeros.T-W-Th. All I can do is try.

    Beautiful scenery and lots of walking thru the woods.

    Funny story on the way down. GPS hosed us up something fierce. It has us going thru back roads all the way thru Portland. we ended up on a streach of road for 15 miles that was all gravel (my poor little 350z was not too happy) I am afraid I watch too much TV including Grimm and my mind was racing with awful notions as we were seemingly in the middle of nowhere with the river 100 down a straight cliff. Needless to say, Doug was exhausted by the time we got to the hotel. Stoly seemed to be the only cure followed by Karioke with the locals at a little po dunk bar.
