Very nice work on the run and doghouse. Did you photoshop them in the window or are they forever in that pose? Very cute either way.
Sid - I have had days like that. You will get through this. Red velvet cake lushiness is almost as good as alcohol lushiness
Last night - 1 glass of cab
Sunday - 1 margarita
Just gave Callie a bath, she loves them...so strange. She particularly loves to be towel dried, she slumps to the floor in heavenly bliss, so cute. Other than that though she is 100% mischief and puppy antics. She has destroyed two remotes along with a bunch of other stuff like flip flops, tennis shoes, socks, phone cases,. The good news is my house is less cluttery
I am thinking one more year before she grows out of this. 0 -

Thanks. The window is a faux window that I put the picture in (it the one I am using as an avatar currently. I made it into a window and mounted it on the side of the house in a plexiglass sleeve and framed. it. It was my way of personalizing the house for them. I can change it out sometime in the future should I need to.
Ritter is still very destructive. Hats are his current passion. He love the bills of all of doug's hats. too many to count have bitten the dust.0 -
More wine than I can even begin to count all three nights (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) but I'm going to try for some zeroes this week!
Wine is my downfall. I Just love it!
That doghouse and run is amazing! And your Lushlings are so cute. My little lushlings are locked up in the guest bathroom today because my upstairs neighbors plumbing backed up yesterday morning and flooded my bathroom, bedroom and part of the kitchen. It was a delightful way to start and spend the day....
I hadn't intended to have any wine last night, however :drinker:0 -
Its monday, BOOO!!!!!!
I am failry honest with my doctor....when I go, I haven't been in probably a year or more.
Robin, love the house and run, GREAT JOB!!!
Sydney-I was barely hungover and ate like crap yesterday, so no worries. We decided to get chinese delivery...always dissapointing and that is probably why we rarely get it, we always forget. Last time we picked up PF Changs via take out, but were too lazy to get off the couch yesterday. We watched a True Blood marathon....8hrs haha!!!
So Friday, I had 1/2 bottle of white and a glass of red.
Saturday-almost a bottle of white then a couple brewskis.
Sunday-1 glass of white and 2 glass of red
Not sure where the week will take me but wine will be in there most day, I'm sure!!!

Nice work on the dog run, Mama Lush, is there a space for Doug as needed.

I'm shotting for some zeros this week and very controlled moderation. I am sure by Wednesday, the liquor devil will be wispering in my ear. I'll be working my long weekend hours; so, I might have a decent number.
I'll be in Chicago soon to celebrate my Dad's 70th birthday party. I can't believe that he's 70 and time flies so fast.
Pole dancing tonight, just when the bruises started to disappear.0 -
Sun - 5 beers and a shot.0

Nice job on that pup house/run Mama Lush!!
The very soon to be husband (20 days!) is home sick today so he's tucked up in bed. This means I finally am getting the laundry done haha and other house work that won't bother him. Once he comes downstairs to the couch then I can work out =]
Took the last two days off of work outs because my legs were just killing me and they are thanking me today. Had champagne and mixed drinks all yesterday while we filled out the wedding forms and watched football, spread out though so I feel great today
This week is just full of wedding stuff, forms have to be sent to the manor tomorrow, Kyle's wedding band is coming tomorrow, mine should be here by Friday and I am dying to see it and then I go for my 2nd and final dress fitting this Saturday! Now that we had a conference call with the manor and had some relief over the forms I'm not stressed and just super excited :bigsmile:
With that said I'm not sure what the week holds for drinks, we'll see if I feel like it or not :drinker:0 -
Monday-Thursday- zeros
Friday- 8 oz red
Saturday- 2 michelob ultras after staining the fence for 6 hours, then a glass of red while getting ready, a margarita before dinner, 2 glasses of red with dinner and a beer after......indulged big time at the anniversary dinner split a tuna tar tar appetizer with some bread, halibut with potato gnocchi and king crab sauce (AMAZING) and fried ice cream for dessert
Sunday- we fried a turkey at a friends house and for some reason once we started frying that we decided to fry everything we could get our hands on, I'm surprised we didn't throw the dog in there! :laugh: So I had some fried pickles, turkey and potatoes. Drank a few beers a vodka drink and some wine
This week doing my usual.....zeros until Saturday!0 -
Boozy weekend :ohwell:
Friday - bottle of champagne
Saturday - bottle of red
Sunday - a day of drinking. Bloody Mary, beer, beer and more beer
I did work out 6 of the 7 days last week. Success! Shooting for zeros until Friday. My daughter and I are leaving town with my sister and her kids. Heading to my parents vacation home in central Oregon for some fun in the sun. Leaving the husbands behind!
Sounds like everyone had a nice weekend. Now on to the next one!0 -
Lots of posts from the lushes!
Friday=5 drinks
Saturday=7 drinks
Sunday=had to finish my husbands beer while he napped, it was getting warm...0 -
not too bad yesterday. I plan on being good today.
Yes Kim there is plenty of room for Doug. :laugh: as needed.0 -
stress, not condusive to zeros. Baby girl has found out what a scumbag the BF was . I will not say I told you so but so many of us knew. it never gets easier when your babies hurt. no matter how strong and smart and powerful they are they are still your babies. so a house, 2 dogs and a lot of debt later his true colors shine thru and she is left broke and heart broken. only alcohol can ease the anguish I feel. even though I knew it was inevitable.

Oh gosh Robin! I am so sorry about your daughter, I can only imagine that its tough for you too!! I wish her nothing but the best!!
Monday-0
Tuesday-shooting for another 0. I have a consumer research thingy tonight (25mins=25bucks) to taste chocolate...yeah that's horrible :laugh: I will be home late, then dinner and clean up so I probably won't have much time to enjoy a glass before bed. We shall see :happy:0 -

I'm pushing for a zero today. I slept restlessly last night and I have to wonder if it has to do with lack of booze in my system. Oh, well, push thru. I am not shaking or hallucinating so that's good.
I have a lot on my list to do today and luckily was mandatory-cancelled from work today.
I think I am going to get a pair of zumba shoes today.
Also, need to think about staying with the pole dancing and shoes for that. Never thought of stripper shoes in an athletic way before. I must have done hundreds upon hundreds of hip circles yesterday.
Today's goal is 80 minutes of exercise.0 -

As the Momma of adult daughters I can feel your pain! Nothing harder than to hear your baby girl cry over a man that isn't worth 1 tear, let alone many! {{hugs}} to you!0 -
Awww, robin. That sucks. My boy has yet to have his heart broken...but I'd have to be held back, I'm sure. Nothing like a mama bear and her cubs
I had 1 1/2 glasses of wine. I actually put the other half back.
Got our flu shots and the last of the college/dorm room shopping done.
Time to start packing. 0 -
So sorry mama lush :ohwell:
2 and a half mixed drinks last night while filling out more wedding forms. 19 days until the wedding so I think I'm going to do a semi elimination diet of sorts for the next 19 days. So I'll cut back on booze, gluten, dairy and other foods that tend to make one feel puffy or bloated. I'm going to drink lots of water and this digestive tea I picked up so I'm nice and slim for my dress
The oh so soon to be husbands wedding band came today and it looks so nice
a little bit different from the norm and I love the engraving. His wedding gift also came so I'll have to check that out though we can't have any until the wedding. I really can't wait to see my wedding band, supposed to come by Friday but with my luck it'll get pushed back.
Think I'll do 2 hours on the bike today, we had chinese yesterday which included 2 of the foods you should eliminate a couple weeks before your wedding so I'm feeling a wee bit poofy today, it'll be good to sweat it out!0 -
Apparently Tiffany doesn't tell customers that some (if not all who knows) of their items don't ship when they say. Kyle called tonight in regards to my wedding band and they said it was expected to ship the end of October!!!!! He said yeah that's not going to work, it's for my fiancés wedding band and we need it for the 7th. She was going to see what she could do and we should hopefully get it by the 4th. Needless to say I'm debating a stiff drink right now :grumble: We never would have known unless they had put a hold on Kyle's credit card to make sure it was a fraudulent purchase

That totally sucks Kat. I hope you get it in time.
Well miraculously I only had one weak little fru fru drink at the restaurant with friends last night. I was too tired by the time I got home to even have a night cap. So I actually woke up feeling pretty good this morning. :bigsmile:0 -
boooo sorry Kat! Hope it all works out for you...stress this close is the worst! hope you had that drink
Monday-0
Tuesday-10oz of wine. I wasn't planning on it BUT after I got home and cooked dinner it was still relatively early AND as part of my participation in the consumer survey thingy they gave us a box of godiva chocolates and well wine and chocolate go really well together. Ate WAY too much chocolate last night, my husband and I put done half the box...oopsies. I was still under calories but my macros were HORRIBLE!!!!
Wednesday-I am planning on some wine after yoga tonight :bigsmile:0 -
Kat, sorry to hear about the ring and it is really upsetting. At least, Kyle will be there and that's the most important thing that matters.
I read an article that kind of explains why we eat sweets when we aren't drinking. It states that our bodies are used to the ^ sugar intake and it has difficulty adjusting when we cut it out. Maybe why I felt sluggish all day. Night #3 of no alcohol is making me sleep like crap!! I'll still be shooting for #4 today. Hopefully, I am over the hump by now.
Kate, have fun at yoga!! Yummy chocolates

Tonight we got invited to a friends to smoke some ribs....so I am sure I will have some wine and/or beers. So much for my zeros until Saturday...oh well.
I will have zeros Thursday and Friday. Saturday we have no plans, so maybe just a quiet dinner in or go out for a bit. Sunday is football and the Bears play at noon, so I am thinking bloody marys will be in store.0 -
Thanks all, you're right nisi, if Kyle wasn't there then we'd have a problem haha. I certainly had that drink Kate haha, it was a nice stiff one and as much as I wanted another, I didn't. Went to bed and slept great and woke up today with no more side effects of the chinese we had Monday AND it's a gorgeous day here. I'm keeping a positive mind about my ring today, they say they have great customer service so we'll see if they can get the job done. If not then we'll use some make shift ring for the ceremony.
I'm guessing there will be another stiff drink or two in the books for tonight but lots of water and healthy eats today.0 -
Kim, well done on the 0s!! And it looks like the rest of us are moderating pretty well.
I had a margarita for lunch yesterday. It was a must since I had ceviche.
Probably will have something tonight while the packing continues. :drinker:0 -
here I am to mess up all the moderating!
Monday=4 beers
Tuesday=6 beers
after last nights over-indulgence I went online shopping and I think I got some great deals:)0 -
Last night was a much needed zero. Hoping to keep that going until Friday.
Monday = 6 beers
Tuesday = 0

Went to get my driver's license renewed today and thought it would be a pain with all the new identification procedures, but I was out of there in 30 minutes...pleasantly surprised, but damn I'm getting old
Nice job on all the moderation lushes, well except for you asjerven, but you had the most fun :happy:0 -

Yummo!!
Kat, way to regroup on the thinking. It will be a good story someday.
Amy, :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: It will be fun to get the packages in the mail.
Jaci, you and I can do it!!
Diana, I had mine renewed last year
The furniture and mattress arrived and hopefully hubs will sleep good. They say it takes weeks to get used to a new mattress. We will see. Off to a ballgame, I'll check in with you lushes tomorrow.0 -
Better late than never, I'm here! Life threw me a couple of curve balls over the summer and I made a conscious decision to step back from mfp, logging, the gym etc but I'm getting back to it all now. Somehow I haven't gained any weight overall but thanks to an increase in alcohol and not watching the foods I'm eating so much I've got a bit squidgey around the middle.
Hope everyone is OK, haven't had a chance to read back and catch up yet. It doesn't help that my damn laptop seems to be giving up and accessing the forums from my phone is a pain. :-(0
