I definitely need to get a handle on my lushiness and I don't need to wait until the New Year to start. I couldn't even begin to imagine how much I drank this week.
What exactly is this and how do I get signed up? http://www.skinnyo.com/challenges/organise/50b302f6785f7
All good! I figured it out Just signed up, hopefully I did it correctly. 0 -
It's only 30 days doxiemama, we can moderate for sure. Just looking to maintain during the holiday season and if I lose then it's BONUS.0

Disney was fun! and not dry, thanks to my SIL! She had the shuttle driver take her to a grocery store and she bought cases of beer and bottles of wine, and she would sneak it into the night shows. they do have beer at CA Adventure but not Disneyland. We stayed at the Disney hotel and the restaurants do serve alcohol, too. I totally ate too much and weigh more than ever and haven't gone a day without drinking for longer than I can remember so I need to start warming up to a couple sober days per week!0

I told my kids I was 29 for years and years and then finally it dawned on them that I was 29 the year before and my cover was blown.

It seems like so long and I am already craving an icy cold beer.
My goal is to be down 1.8 lbs in 10 days.0 -
I'm way behind. Had a super lushy holiday and now it's back to real life. Last night was the first 0 since last Wednesday and that was only a 0 because I was getting over a stomach bug. Otherwise I'd probably have had like 2 weeks straight under my belt. I plan on not drinking much till Friday which is book club. Maybe some 0's in there.
I'm still on for Just Say No January but have a 1 night exception. We have tickets to see Grace Potter and The Nocturnals and I have never been to a concert alcohol free. Why start now? Plus we're going to have a yummy dinner. All kid free. But that's it!0 -
I had too many drinks to count over the holiday...
Yesterday - 0
I'm shooting for 0 at least until Friday....fingers crossed.0 -
Great thanksgiving and a great black friday beer day! I woke up a little nauseous friday morning but it passed, then saturday was pukey and sunday was pukey and yesterday was pukey....hoping today isn't pukey but I am not feeling so hot. Stupid stomach bug ruined the remaining fun time weekend I had planned. My sister in law and her fiance were at our house all weekend and the majority of which I was napping on the couch, BOOOO BELLY BUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!0

Just weighed myself. :noway: I'm hoping to drop these pounds I put on over the long weekend in the next day or 2.0

Me too Kim!!! I'm sitting here at my desk and my head just wants to drop and I'm lightheaded. I've been keeping food down but I still feel nauseous and the thought of food kind of repulses me!!!0 -
Syd, you will def drop them...the sodium from the In and Out must be the root cause.
Shooting for another 0 today...Day 3 is sufferage withdraw day, must take the B vitamins so I don't seizure0 -
Ok I've reached the point where I'm going to stop counting up and start counting down...... 4 days until I can have a drink! Last November I wasn't worried about having a drink as soon as I could but this time I am, I think cutting out sugary treats as well as alcohol was a step too far. However I am going to start on the moderation path, so alcohol only at weekends or special occasions/ parties etc and keep the processed sugary junk to a minimum until Christmas.
I'm glad the lushes seem to have had a great thanksgiving.
Zippo, I'm so sorry to hear about your dog, animals are such an important part of the family :-(0 -
Yvonne, you're a CrAzY lady. How can you even read this board? I'd go mad. Do share your tips for sobriety!!
Just got back from my chiro eval. They did such a good job with Ron that I am hoping that they can work with my ear problem. I'm wondering if it's the way I sleep at night. Either way, it will be nice to be proactive even the process kind of freaks me out.

I am trying for 0s tonight and tomorrow but I don't think I can keep reading the posts-I agree, I would go mad...0
-
Well, it's good to have you back Amy!!0

Yvonne's my hero. I already poured myself some wine and its only 4:30 here.
Kim, both my brother and niece use the chiro for ear issues and swear by it.
Ok...carpets are cleaned..and I went on a wicked hike (very steep climb)...I'm hoping I sweat out some of that sodium from the junk I ate over the holiday. I'm sore already...hence the wine :drinker:
Decorations tomorrow.
Happy lushing lushes!0 -
I think my strategy is just my sheer bloodymindedness! Once I decide on something I hate to give up and fail. Plus I remove as much temptation as I can by not keeping alcohol or treats in the house. Oh and I had the incentive of rewarding myself with an iPad :happy:
I just had a great gym session, my trainer told me that I was looking slimmer at the moment. When I explained about my no-no-November he said that I respond really quickly to a change in diet, which can only be good. However on a high I went off to the shop to buy some cider to celebrate with on dec 1st :drinker: :laugh:0 -
Wow Yvonne....amazing. It gives me hope for January.
I had a mojito last night. Emphasis on "A". Our food came out so fast at the Cuban place, there was no time for a second! I thought for sure I'd have a beer at home, but Eric wanted to stop for a coffee on the way home so I had a soy peppermint mocha instead. It actually hit the spot and I feel great today! Victory!0 -
It must be celebrate success day...so, here's mine
Craved some wine with the homemade pizza, no big deal and I got thru that.
The whopper was when girlfriend came over to say goodbye since she's leaving for Florida tomorrow. I made 2 martini's and then didn't drink mine. She did. So, she's in party mode which is obviously infectious and I just drink sparkling water. Super Score!

I will have zeros tonight and tomorrow for sure!0 -
I had two D!cken shots and about 1/2 a blue moon last night...I think I'm slowly preparing myself for January. Lol.0

Okay so I bought the salted carmel Stoli and it was very good with Honey Crisp apple juice. Doug and I are really going to try to moderate even more but I have to admit my quantities have gone down quite a bit.
You all have done great with the zeros and Yvonne you are an amazing awesome woman.
Here's to Wednesday:drinker:0 -
Nicely done, Kim! If it's in front of me, I will be sure to drink it. :drinker:
Ok I dropped 2.5 pounds overnight and am feeling better. More water today and hopefully more good results.0 -
Tuesday=0
Baby steps...
I actually feel sick today, I think I could a cold, but maybe this is what not drinking feels like?!
I might be trying a sober January. If I went a whole month it might help me build better habits and drop a little holiday weight and prepare for Dominican Republic in February.
caramel stoli and apple juice sounds awesome...0 -
Yvonne you are awesome, well done :flowerforyou:
Kblue I hope you're feeling better today sweets
Had drinks Monday and Tuesday and am having a Sam Adams White Christmas right now BUT I have logged an hour on the bike each day and been somewhat good with food. I've stopped weighing myself though because I know that number is full of crap. For example I weighed in I forget what day and I was feeling SUPER slim buuuut the scale begged to differ so I said the heck with you! If I feel good, feel good looking in the mirror and my clothes fit well then I'm good :glasses: And in other news our grown up bed set will be arriving on Monday!!!! I cannot wait, I love Restoration Hardware so I can't wait to actually see our bed in person all made up It's a sleigh bed too, how fitting for this time of year

Kat- I am jealous...we have gotten alot of new furniture since we moved in 3 years ago, but we have yet to get new bedroom furniture. That is definitely the next room to tackle!
Totaly lied before about the zero......I'm drinking wine as I type. I am so weak, but I'm ok with it! Tis the season!0 -

We never had any furniture really. We have one of those metal frames that the mattresses just sit on. No bed side tables so I'm currently using a stool with a plate haha and the husband is using a tiny filing cabinet thing. We do have a small TV stand that holds our Direct Tv box and such but we also ordered a nice dresser with our bed set so we're going to put that in the bedroom and probably move our 50 inch tv in there once we get it fixed and move our 40 inch thats in there now into one of the spare bedrooms. Lots of house stuff coming about, having a landscaper put us on his list of regularly scheduled maintenance, having our kitchen redone shortly after the new year and getting rid of our carpets and having hard wood or some other type of flooring put down. So much for things settling down after the new year!
I'm up early, woke up around 3 and saw some strange lights outside then thought I heard something in the house and I'm a paranoid person about home invasions and such anyway so I couldn't fall back to sleep. Clearly the thing to do was look up crime statistics for where we live :noway: Our house had an existing ADT system when we moved in 3 years ago but we never activated it however I think we're going to have them upgrade and activate it which will make me feel better. Not that we live in a bad area, we live in a nice neighborhood and our house still has all the ADT stickers not to mention the other measures the previous owners took such as bars preventing the sliders from being opened when they don't need to be and blockers on the windows in the basement so the windows can only open so far. They had them on the upstairs windows too but I took them off. I think they were even more paranoid than me!
In any event I see a nap this afternoon.
Happy thirsty Thursday all :flowerforyou:0
