    Happy birthday Kat!

    Wine tonight. Husband got a new job (at the same place) so I'm hoping he will be happier. Still horribly long 12 hour days...no real day offs..and he's salary...so no "overtime"
    But a better fitting job doing what he likes to do. Baby steps.

    Diana, awesome Christmas present to yourself!! Super duper cute. Name?

    Kat, sounds like you will never have to leave the bedroom.

    Syd, baby steps is right. I'm sending good vibes hubs way.

    Monday, 24 + 24 + 16 = 5.33 beers at happy hour

    There is no hope for me. I am afraid of JSN January.

    Thanks ladies :smile:

    Wolf- Oh my good gosh what an adorable little one!!!!!!

    SoCal- Hope your hubs is happier at the new job and better baby steps than no steps :flowerforyou:

    Nisi- If I didn't have a whole house and 6 animals to take care of/pick up after I probably wouldn't leave the bedroom haha.

    Husbands team isn't doing so well so I just ordered him some more Christmas presents :smile: and I'm just waiting to crawl into our new amazing bed, snuggle with husband and fall asleep while watching something or other :heart:

    Sunday - 0
    Monday - 0

    Off to a good start! And I feel about 100% better than I did yesterday. Amazing what a couple days with no booze, eating well and a workout will do. I think another 0 tonight. Maybe one glass of wine.

    Wolf, that baby is adorable! You got/are getting him from KY? That's my state!

    Happy Birthday Kat!

    Ummm wolf I am coming to steal that puppy!:wink:

    Monday-0

    Almost had some wine last night....my ridiculous dad and step mom both had me on the phone last night for over an hour complaining about each other. Those are two people that should have gotten a divorce forever ago! The only reason why I listen to their crap is so my 18 and 15 year old sister and brother won't have to. But, I stayed away from the wine.

    Did not sleep at all last night because of a sick pup. She seems better now, but I took a sick day from work. I think I will use the rest of my day to start cleaning and getting ready for our christmas party saturday.

    Sod not drinking during week, I've just cracked open a bottle of red. Passed my final course module with a distinction which means I've been offered my degree with first class honours, 5 years of hard work has been worth it :happy: :drinker:

    BA hons humanities, I've done a mix of mainly history, archaeology, some religion, technology & music. I had a free choice of a certain number of modules as I went along so I did some science, evolution and nutrition too.

    On my 2nd glass of wine now and the cheap date phenomenon has kicked in- after a month of abstinence I'm pissed as a fart on almost no alcohol! :laugh: :drinker:

    Congrats Yvonne!!!

    I ended up having wine last night....probably about 15 oz, but I didn't measure. Planning on a zero for tonight.

    Congrats Yvonne!

    Thanks everyone for all the compliments on the pup. No name yet, want to see more of his personality first.

    I am going to try to abstain from drinking for two weeks. It's not that I am drinking a whole lot, but I am wanting it a little too much on a regular basis and I am sort of a control nut. Plus I want to lose the real pound I gained over Thanksgiving.

    Cheers :drinker:

    2 glasses of wine yesterday. I had a great day...very productive..good workout.
    Hopefully today will be the same although I currently have an adorable kitten cuddled up next to me as I sip my coffee. I have zero desire to move.

    Well done Kblue on that 0!!! Can't remember the last time I had one :blushing:

    Chloe, sorry about sick pup :ohwell: never fun when one of the fur babes doesn't feel well.

    Congrats Yvonne that's awesome! :flowerforyou:

    Wine last night with our home made stir fry which was delicious. Don't know what I would do if my husband wasn't an awesome cook. Monday we had chicken breast coated in panko bread crumbs with prosciutto and a little cheese baked in the oven. Along with some delicious ravioli in a pomodoro sauce and garlic bread. Not sure about tonight.

    I also had some of the spiked egg nog we picked up over the weekend last night, yum but I like to mix my own. I've been good with food and definitely good with pacing drinks and not having too much. I haven't been working out this week though because I've been putting up the rest of the decorations and trees as well as getting other housework done. Today I'd like to squeeze in a work out but I've got a kitchen to clean and a little more laundry to do.

    I'm sure there will be drinks tonight :smile: It is the holidays after all :wink:

    Congratulations Yvonne!

    No zero last night. The Vodka was calling my name *hangs head in shame* and I gave in.
