    Merry Lushmas!!

    Last night was copious amounts of wine with Salmon and roast beast. truffled potatos, asparagus and green beans. It was ll so yummy.

    I am not cooking the Turkey today because Doug is sick agian. (he didn't eat anything all day yesterday) I don't want to spend hours cooking and have no one even taste it. So I will try for tomorrow.


    Egg nogging the coffee this morning.

    Moving a little slow this morning...I lost count of the cranberry mojitos. The meal was a hit and I have lotsa leftovers I will enjoy today.
    I will be avoiding the scale.
    Feliz Navidad lushes!

    Cannot even begin to count the drinks over the last few days. Was a little slow this morning and sipped wine all day and now home having champagne =} Sunday we did Christmas with the husbands family and best friends family since his friend had to leave today. We normally do both families on Christmas so it was nice not to have to. Monday we spent some time with both families and today we just hung out with my family. I can't wait to do my 2 week cleanse after the New Year haha. Even though we haven't had get togethers at our house it's somehow filthy so I've got some serious cleaning to do tomorrow. For now though, it's still Christmas and I'm going to relax with all the fur babes and the husband :heart:

    Merry Lushmas and Happy Festivus all!!

    Hey lushes. Looks like everyone has been lushing it up nicely over the holidays. I've done alright. I can't remember my last 0 day. Tis the season. I got hammered on Friday night with my girlfriends at our anual swanky dinner out. Drinks at dinner and after and then more wine in the hot tub at home. That damn mind eraser...... Sunday some friends were in town and stayed the night so we drank many bottles of wine around the fire bowl. I drank every other night but did so moderately so not too bad. My parents come in town Friday so the weekend and into the new year will undoubtedly be lushy. But then it'll be January....Just Say No!

    Back to work today....boo.

    Yikes, I think I agreed to this as well....However, a healthy mode sounds good right now. I think I am at the turning point of this cold. I am feeling much, much better today. Sleeping from 12 to 14 hours a day helps.

    Monday, 1 bottle of champagne mixed with OJ for mimosas and 2 glasses of wine. 7-ish
    Tuesday, 1/2 bottle of champagne, 1/2 bottle of wine and 2 beers. 7-ish

    Total: 14

    0 drinks yesterday but holy calorie consumption!

    Gunna try out my new weighted gloves and do some kickboxing I think. Then probably some wine later.

    Finished off my egg nog yesterday. this morning I was stuffing my turkey and it is in the oven. Made cranberry sauce and now I am making a chocolate mousse. I will do brussel sprouts, roasted sweet potatoes, mashed yukon golds for dinner. It is kind of fun cooking all day when there is no pressure. Lots of wine involved in cooking later.

    Happy lushing all.

    Robin, sounds like a perfect day...

    I did my returns today and was happy not to spend a dime. I am "shopped out" and that's saying a lot because I LOVE shopping!!

    Ron and I went to happy hour and now I am happy to be lounging on the couch watching Rober Irvine.

    Wednesday, 2-20 oz Newcastle and one 12 oz Sam Adams thus far...maybe more, maybe not

    2 glasses of champagne and 1 shot of candy cane vodka - Christmas day

    Not much lushiness going on here. I guess you could say I am drunk on puppy breathe. I promise I will post some pictures when I take some good ones.

    Sydney, cookies for dinner, yum

    Mon- I lost count.
    Tues-0
    Wed-0
    Thurs- I've already logged the vodka.

    But I had a GREAT workout (thank you Santa for bringing me a new DVD that I wanted from my fav instructor) and I also did a ton around the house to clean up before the maid shows up tomorrow (I know..I'm weird...I have to clean up before she gets here...the husband and son make fun of me) It felt great to get out of SLUG mode and moving again.

    Diana...waiting on those pics!!

    Sydney, I get what you are saying about cleaning before the cleaning lady...for me, it's picking up and toliets...wish I could have one more often

    Hubs got me a fitbit for Xmas so I've been playing with that today. Apparently, stairs aren't the problem since we have 4 levels. It's the steps that I lag on. I've not gone anywhere today so that might be part of the problem. I just needed a day at home to straighten up.

    I'm off work tomorrow morning and decided since I'll be doing sober January, I better get my fill. The wine is poured!!

    What a sweet baby! (doggies are babies)

    Last night was tame; only 1/2 bottle aka 2 glasses. I had a salad for dinner so I could eat more sweets when I got home. I have GOT to get all the crap out of my kitchen!

    4 more nights......

    Love the pup Wolf...so cute!!!!

    Last night I intended on 10oz of wine BUT after I poured Lenny's glass I noticed there was only bit left in the box so we finished it so 14oz.
    Tonight I am planning only wine and I am going to try and keep it under control over the weekend. Monday I make no promises. We are heading down to S. Jersey to hang out with sisters in law and brother in law and New years day is Lenny's big family pollyanna party down there. I am not so thrilled it is new years day since we have to drive home 2 1/2 hrs and go to work the next day. It should be a mellow drinking day!

    I am kind of doing a jsnj....mon-thurs with the weekends being rather tame. We just have so much going on in Jan that revolves around drinking that I will not be able to say no. But I need to curb the drinking and get back into shape, I have been feeling real gross lately...mostly eating but drinking does not help!!!

    Ashley, we finished mostly all the leftovers last night, with the exception of a rum cake, which I don't really have much interest in, so atleast I have that going for me haha!!!!

    Happy friday!

    Hello lushes, such cute kids and cute dogs.....aww I want to pinch them all.

    I just did the annual total and we had only 6 completely drink free days for the year. :noway: Oh my lushness. Had a few lite days but it only counts if completely drink free. How sad is that? And how sad that we have been tracking it since 2004? Ah, maybe a problem, hello? I'm in for just say no January but not sure if it will happen, my second goal is to be drink free 200 days in 2013. That still leaves 165 drinky days which works out to about 3 a week. That may work.

    Who has champagne already cooling for the New Year celebrations? Everybody be safe!

    Hi mcdeb..good to see you! And oh my at the drinking days. I'm not sure I would be very happy with my yearly total either!

    With that said I did have another 0 last night. And I'll have another tonight too...but all bets are off after that since we're headed out of town and beginning our annual New Years celebration.

    Mon-too many
    Tues-0
    Wed-0
    Thurs-4
    Fri-0
    Sat-0
    Sun/Mon....many, I'm sure.

    Not *too* bad. A bit bingey.

    Holy fricking cuteness!!! how are the kids getting along?

    They love each other. Callie is like the big sister and doesn't want to miss a thing with Remy. If he squeaks or whines she is coming to find me to take care of puppy. When they play, Callie looks like an elephant seal laying on the ground mouth open making groaning sounds waving her head back and forth while Remy is hopping all over her face making high pitch growling sounds. I do have to supervise carefully because Callie is so much bigger and sometimes gets too excited and Remy has no fear. I feel stupid but I am putting Callie in doggie daycare once a week so she can get some playtime with dogs her own size.

    Friday - 1 glass of red
    Saturday - 1 glass of red
