    This week is just a huge fail for me, I don't know what is going on with me this week! Every night I'm just like screw it its the holidays! Had wine and chocolate last night!

    Monday- 0
    Tuesday- 15 oz red
    Wednesday- small glass of red and about 5 miller lites
    Thursday- 10 oz red

    Tonight probably something, not sure what yet. Tomorrow we have a big family Christmas party at our house. I always get pretty sloshed at our parties. We have a wedding next Saturday though, and I am hoping to look hot, so I am going to do a detox next week Monday-Friday to get myself back on track.

    I've actually done pretty well this week.

    0's on Sunday and Monday.
    Tuesday 3 glasses or red.
    Wednesday just half a bottle (= 2 by my pour).
    Last night 3 glasses at the party and my husband and I drank 2 bottles, so 7 I guess. Rough today.
    This weekend we don't have any plans other than getting the tree up tonight so I see staying in, eating in, drinking minimally and wathcing movies in my future. And probably some workouts. Next week is party extravagaza.

    Chloe I love you blatant honesty, " I always get pretty sloshed at our parties. We have a wedding next Saturday though, and I am hoping to look hot..." :smile: Sounds like my thoughts.....

    My profile is a throwback as well. Only 15 years and about 30 pounds need to be removed for me to look like that again.

    Kat your ring is beautiful and your bedroom set is wonderful.

    Welcome!

    very lusy lately. Last night we ran out of vodka so DH was drinking beer and I was cleaning out all the bottles of alcohol that had less than a shot left in them. at least my liquor cupboard got cleaned up a bit :laugh:

    Have a lushy Friday all.

    I love that picture of you Robin!!!!!!!!!!

    I had 3oz of caramel vodka and LOTS of wine!!!
    Tonight, a manhattan or two, maybe1
    Tomorrow was supposed to be our 2nd annual family pierogi party BUT it got cancelled due to some unfortunate events, so Len and I are going to attempt them by ourselves with martinis OF COURSE!!!!!!!!!!!! Then he leaves Sunday for the week for training BOO!!! I will TRY to not drink while he's away :laugh:

    I got fitted for a crossover brace for my knee today and I am very excited to get it. My knee is stable but weak so hopefully this brace will give my confidence to get back to it. I should have it by wednesday at the latest and I will attempt yoga with it...very exciting!!! I decided to keep my gym membership frozen until Jan, so I will just continue to do my thing at home!!
    Happy friday everyone!!!
    xoxo

    0 for last night. I ate like crap yesterday, so I needed to ignore the booze.

    Kat - love the ring set.
    Kblue - let us know how your pierogies come out, I always buy the frozen ones.

    I had 3 glasses last night. More than usual but it was so good and I was listening to awesome music while cooking so I got carried away. I will probably have cocktails tonight. Its Friday after all and its my lushy responsibility. I have plenty to get done first though and its almost noon and have done none of it. :ohwell:

    Tuesday, bottle and flight of 3, 6'ish
    Wednesday, 0
    Thursday, 2-24 oz beers = 4
    Friday, 7 vodka/sodas (I think it was really 6 but I'm not sure)
    Saturday, 2 Winter Lagers

    I took care of a guy today with nectrotizing pancreatitis. 1/3 of his pancreas is gone d/t drinking. Now, I am picturing how mine is breaking down into chunks.

    Hope everyone has a rockin' time at their parties.

    Husband is currently in the air on his way to London. I have had the worst dreams about planes and cruise ships recently and just hate when he has to leave for business anyway so it's kind of a sucky Saturday or rather Sunday. He should be landing around 3:30am my time and given that it's almost 1am I may just stay awake, though I do have my alarm set.

    Thank you Yvonne =]

    We stopped at the packy before coming home earlier so I've got plenty of liquids for the next few days while husband is away haha. Sadly it's the only way I'll be able to fall asleep while he's gone, I have 2 bottles of wine in our mini fridge in our bedroom as well as some beer and our britta. Have a box of wine downstairs and 2 bottles of vodka, one cake vodka (which I love with my flavored fizzy water) and vanilla vodka (which I love with my coke zero). Think I'm set until he comes home :tongue:

    Next weekend I'm treating my girls to a girls weekend at the casino. We're getting a room and just going to have a good time without our guys. The guys are going to do something of their own. I'm looking forward to it even though all of our get togethers/parties make the holidays go by like whoa. I love having our Christmas party and then having our New Years party because I love having our house full of family both born with and those we choose for ourselves :heart: Should be an amazing end of the year/start of a new year :smile:

    Oh, Kat...ditto Yvonne. He'll be home soon!! Your girl's trip sounds super fun, however.

    Oy. Last night was our work party--it's at a fellow teacher's house and she always has a well-stocked bar. I brought 2 nummy appetizers, these mayo/swiss/green onion/cocktail rye things and a buffalo chicken dip and there's always a ton of food. I zig-zag my calories, so I "saved" by 1811 day for yesterday, ate just a bit throughout the day, put on my HRM while I did 20 minutes of cleaning and 10 minutes of yoga for a total of 80 minutes, and arrived at the party with 1300 calories to spare.

    I only ate about 400 of them. :drinker:

    You're right ladies =]

    Sounds like a fun time Dot!!

    Chinese is delicious at the time but always makes me feel like garbage the next day too :sick:

    Fur babes and I are spending the day in bed watching TV and being lazy. It's the perfect day for it too, gloomy outside :indifferent:

    Hope everyone has a lovely Sunday :flowerforyou:
