Welcome newbies!
Our Thanks-o-weenie party last night was a huge success ... Though most of our parties are =} I and everyone else was very lushy. Woke up and kept it going so no hangover just super tired.
We're supposed to get hit with hurricane/blizzard Sandy here about tomorrow so I'll probably be offline for a bit with no power :indifferent:
So if I don't check in tomorrow morning I'll see my lovely lushes in a few days!
Oh! My engagement ring reset should be done in a few weeks and then I can finally post a picture of it with my wedding band
I miss wearing it so I can't wait for it to be done so I can wear it all the time with my band 0 -
Stay safe Kat and all of the lushes in the Northeast!
Edited because I forgot to post my drinks which weren't much.
Saturday - Opened a hard cider, but didn't feel like it after opening it...weird :huh:
Sunday - 0
Going to be a moderate week for me, still trying to deflate from last weekend.0 -
Kat- Stay Safe!!
Welcome new lushes!
Monday-Thursday-0
Friday- 2 glasses of red, 2 vodka tonics and 1 michelob ultra
Saturday- ridiculous amounts of wine, 2 vodka tonics, a half of a pumpkin beer and many apple pie shots...this was all over the course of an eight hour party
Sunday-0
I think I may still be hungover! This week zeros until Friday for sure. No big plans for next weekend. So I should be able to make it a pretty good week with zeros.0 -
Chole, zeros sound fabulous for this week. Moderation week didn't go so well for me.
I think I am going to hit barre yoga today and pole dancing tonight. It's my day off so I'll like to hit both classes.0 -
Thanks ladies As of right now we still have power. Wind is picking up though. We have plenty of candles, flashlights and booze though so we'll be fine haha. Husband is coming home before they close down the highways at 11 this morning. Even if the hype is being overdone I'm glad he'll be home and safe with us 0

I did not moderate well over the weekend at all. Well OK, maybe on Friday. I think I had about 5 glasses of wine. That is GOOD for me. At the party I was doing pretty well untill I hit my magic number of 4, and then it was back to the bar for wine wine wine. I probably had 7 "glasses" (4 oz. plastic cups), but over a bottle. Yesterday was worse. We had family over to eat party leftovers and I just kept filling up my not 4 oz cup. I have no idea how much I drank. I'm guessing close to 2 bottles. Oops. I crashed at 7:30 and still am in a fog today. I'm looking for 0's most of the week. Maybe moderately drink one week night. The weekend I need to moderate also.0

Fri - some beers
Sat - 4 beers and 2 shots
Sun - 6 beers

welcome to all the newbies. We love lushes. I am Mama Lush.
I did okay this weekend Saturday was 2.5 bottles of wine and then I finished off the last bottle yesterday. The Broncos won so I celebrated with a nice glass of sipping rum.
Stay safe Kat and any other East Coast lushes.
Happy Monday all.0 -
Love that I found this page...and others who like to incorporate drinks into their weight loss journey!0

Thanks Mama Lush actually still have power. It's gone out and flicked on and off a few times but right now we still have it thankfully. It's definitely getting more intense though, starting to pour and the wind just keeps picking up. Looks like Sandy should make landfall around 6 so it'll just be getting more intense outside. I'm hunkering down in style with beer and wine :drinker: It's bizarre, our Direct TV is working fine during this crazy weather yet most normal thunderstorms it goes out :huh: I won't complain though because I can keep track of Sandy. To any other lushes affected by the storm, stay safe!!!! 0

It's 80 degrees here and sunny..but I think I better have some wine to honor those lushes dealing with Sandy.
It's the least I could do.0 -
I have been absent! had to catch up on the news, and, BTW, really pretty wedding pics, Kat! I love weddings. And then there's the pets! I have two cats, littermates, that are 11 years old, and one just cost me a lot of money and stress because she had a corneal abrasion, and she wouldn't leave the cone on and had to be medically boarded and she finally came home and was able to have the cone removed but still has to get drops, and you know how fun it is to give eye drops to a cat...
Anyway, I have been drinking a lot lately and haven't weighed myself in ages. I meant to try to be good in October for the mermaid costume I wore for halloween parties, but I didn't have the self-control so I ended up being pretty self-conscious as a mermaid! the second night of dressing up I wrapped a net around myself but it didn't help much:blushing:0 -

I'm going to shoot for another zero tonight. Aiming for zeros until Friday so that I can indulge at the wine club and pasta. I was cancelled from work today so that gives me some extra hours to play with today. Sweeeeeeeeeet for the day, but not so good for the paycheck.
Amy, I bet you rocked your mermaid costume without the net. You got some serious abs.
Kat, hope you and hubs and the kids are A-OK!!0 -
Monday = 0
Which is impressive considering all the beer that is in our fridge. And a nice OPEN bottle of sauvignon blanc.
I hope everyone on the east cost is safe. Shooting for another 0 tonight.0 -
Holy *kitten*!! I had a big.fat.ZERO last night. That hasn't happened in a while. It "helps" that I'm fighting some sinus/chest crap.0
-
It was a vodka night. I was so tired of not being able to hear anything all day I just wanted to fall asleep. Ears are still all stuffed up but I did sleep well.0
-
Just one glass of wine...but lots of candy :ohwell:
I will do better today.0 -
Sydney, I left my candy in the truck of my car to prevent that...although, yours would probably melt if you did that.
Mama, hope those sinuses clear up soon...yuck0 -
You're right Kim..they would melt!
The thing is I don't even *like* candy all that much..and I still ate it.
Stupid.:grumble:0 -

^^^LOOK^^^
^^^3 zeros^^^
I have to remind myself that I am not 29 anymore. Trampoline jumping is tough and now I can hardly move. I am going to soak in a hot tub with salts and a good magazine. Tomorrow is barre yoga and I will get to stretch out.
Kat, did your survive Sandy? Hope all is well.
Good job Dot on the zero.0 -
Monday- 1 glass of wine
Tuesday-0 so far but I see some wine in my future for tonight, I need to do some unwinding.
Thank you for the friendship adds, it's helping me to read everyone else's diary's0 -
Hi fellow lushes!
Welcome newbies!
I am assuming Kat is without power, not like her to not check in. Hopefully all the lushes who were in Sandy's path are safe, warm and in the comfort of loved ones and fine libations.
Two glasses of wine tonight. Saw the movie Frankenweenie in 3D today. Loved it...it's about a dog, it's Tim Burton and a love story, what's not to love!
Tomorrow is Halloween already, giving out airheads candy, which we do every year, which is okay with me seeing it's not that tempting to me. The popcorn at the movie...quite a different story. Waiting for the bloat to begin...0 -
Happy Halloween fellow lushes! :drinker:
Have some spiced cider in the fridge from Trader Joes....trying to decide which would be the best alcohol to add to this...:bigsmile: for tonight, not now @ 6am...
Can't believe October is over....:noway:0 -

staying strong with the the zeros!
Happy Halloween Lushes!0 -
I can not even count the amount of drinks I had monday during the storm but it was lots and it started early and ended real late.
Nothing yesterday and tonight we are going out to dinner. My husband loves halloween but hates giving out candy, so our tradition is put the candy out and leave for a few hours. There will be beers tonight!
Happy Halloween All!!!0 -
2pumpkin shock tops last night.
The neighborhood tradition is to take all the kids out to TorT while the adults drink and walk...so I'm sure we'll keep that alive.0 -

Back and happy to report safe and sound. Power came back around 4 this morning. Much quicker than last years Halloween snow storm. No damage but a few big limbs down and there was a tree and line down on one of our cross streets. Thanks for all the well wishes It got pretty scary sounding out there but last years snow storm we got was ten times worse, think we may invest in a generator but who knows. It wasn't very cold which was nice. Last year was so cold I was in full winter gear sitting in front of the fire and we were out for a week. Husband had to go into work yesterday but said he made it in fine. I spent the day listening to Sinatra on the iPad, having drinks and reading my stack of magazines in front of the fire
Today is not only my favorite holiday of all time but also marks 9 years with my now husband He will be stuck at work until midnight-ish so I'm spending the day having spiked cider, watching everything Halloween related, having some candy here and there although I'm not a huge sweets fan which would explain the huge amount of candy from last year that's in our pantry :huh: I'm more of a salty girl.
kblue I know you were supposed to get the rain portion so I hope you don't have any flooding!
I saw pictures of New York and CT's coast and it's devastating :frown:
Hope everyone else has been well and that you're all having a fantastically spooky Halloween :devil:0 -
Kat, glad you are ok.
no-no November is looming so here I go with no alcohol and no sugary junk, the odd square of dark chocolate will be my indulgence though, life is too short to be perfect, that's no fun. I'm using this as an excuse to reward myself with an iPad and I just got an email to say it has been dispatched :-) great incentive to stick to the plan, otherwise I won't be able to keep it, plus it'll mean I get on the forums and actually stay in touch with you lovely lushes easier!
Right I'm off for my last drink for a month, got a chilled bottle of wine to dispose of ;-)0
