    Sorry, Amy, I will post the other for you...they are equally delicious and quick.

    ^^Here's the spiced pork tenderloin^^ I cooked the apples on the side for the kids and it would be really nice with a parm. risotto. I love my cast iron pan, it like a baking stone for cooks.

    Monday-0
    Tuesday-0
    Wednesday-0
    Thursday-0

    Still planning on a zero tonight. Tomorrow since I am DD I plan on just having a couple vodka and soda waters before dinner. Maybe I will alternate vodka and soda with just a soda water and lime so I can feel like I am drinking more. Sunday I am thinking will be a lazy day with maybe some wine or beers.

    I had a two day offsite so I haven't had time to computer since I had to spend it on the dreadmill making up for all the steps I was missing. I have been very lushy because of stress.

    I am off to see all of my girls tonight and I am so excited. Holly gets in about two hours after I do. I cannot wait to hold my granddaughter (I hope she will let me).

    I am sure I will have a cocktail on the plane but I will definitely moderate. You are all doing great.

    Ashley, sorry to hear about your friends dane. Holly just had to give hers up and it broke her heart. they are sweet giants.

    I will check in as I can.

    Robin..what better way to lift your spirits than to see your girls. Yay!

    1 red last night. Probably another 1 or 2 tonight with my shrimp tacos. The scale is still my friend. I'm waiting to officially log that loss into new territory until I've maintained it for a bit...but I'm pretty excited.

    Happy weekend lushes!

    Uggh I am having one of those days!!! Really may need some wine tonight especially since the husband won't be home until like 10, so I will have no one to complain to.

    Kat...some good family lushy love...spread it

    Amy...I posted the other for you...enjoy brew fest

    I am going to get a cup of hot chocolate milk and get ready for work tomorrow. It's Day 1 of 8. I picked up a bunch of shifts and will probably DIE at the end. Bury me with Sam Adams in my hand.

    Ohhhhh, it's quiet here and that means the lushes are busy. I have 5 days to go and then I am free, curious to see if my uber-lushy ways come back. I hope not, but the flame still burns inside.

    Saturday-2 vodka sodas, a little champagne, some wine and an Amstel lite (this was all over about an eight hour span though so I am feeling good today)

    Not sure what today will bring, going to lunch later so maybe a beer.

    Maybe a glass of wine tonight? I've got an open bottle and mustn't let it go bad.

    Sure, Kim...any time!!

    I was pretty lushy today...I opened one of my Shock Tops when Kel went to make himself a redbull/vodka and I was all, "Why didn't you ask if I wanted one???????" He said that he didn't want to mess up my "sober month" and I told him that that ship sailed a couple weeks ago. :laugh:

    So, I had 2 of those, and my beer. Yum.

    Even though I only made it a couple of weeks, I've really cut down on my lushiness during the week--and last night I had one beer, so for a Saturday, that's like having none! I will admit, however, that I've found *other* things to substitute for the lushy-goodness. I live in Colorado...you smarties can figure it out. :drinker:

    Nice Dot!!! :smokin:

    Friday-1 shot of salted caramel vodka, 1 manhattan and 1/2 bottle of wine
    Saturday-Lenny ended up being DD so.....2 glasses of wine, 2 vodka tonics, 3 beers and an orange vodka and sprite zero. I was pretty drunk and totally slept until 11 yesterday.
    Sunday-4 VERY LARGE mango vodka and sprite zeros...we drank a whole bottle of vodka, oops!!!

    Well Kim, if you're like me, your lushy ways will return..... Sober January is over. :ohwell: I had 4 drinks while watching Mean Girls Thursday night while my husband was having beer with friends. Friday was 3 glasses of wine (this was good). Saturday 5 of us split 4 bottles of wine at dinner. Then a different 5 of us split almost 4 more bottles in the hot tub. I was schmamered. No real reason to drink that much. I was all mad at myself again yesterday, and decided that I will just try to make improvements each month. So this month I got way drunk 3x. Which is sad considering it was supposed to be sober January and all. Well I'll just have to do better next month....

    In addition to feeling crappy, I had hours of prep work to do for my daughter's first birthday party. Everything got done (barely) and I even enjoyed 3 champagne apertifs during the party. I'm shooting for 0's through Wednesday at least. I'm off THursday and Friday, but my kiddo is having a cyst removed from her temple Thursday morning. :sad:

    Last week-

    Monday-Thursday-0
    Friday-1 glass of red
    Saturday-2 vodka sodas, a little champagne, some wine and an Amstel lite
    Sunday- two 312 pints and about 3/4 bottle of red

    This week...
    Zeros until at least Friday. Next weekend should be pretty mellow. Mike is working late Saturday, so I am thinking I will just stay in and then we have a Superbowl party to go to Sunday. They are making it NOLA themed, so hurricanes, jambalaya, and all that good stuff. I am not crazy about hurricanes though, so that shouldn't get me in too much trouble.

    Dot, gotcha :wink:

    Ashley, you did well for lushes like us. I know the lushy ways will find a way back.:love: Last night I was really craving an ice cold marg from my favorite restaurant.

    Chloe, I should be able to do the zero's with you until the weekend.

    LOL betterbalance, you have some serious partying friends...I say blame it on them! I don't think I have 10 friends...much less 10 friends who love to drink like that. Sounds fun! It also helps that my husband doesn't drink much. It definitely helps with my moderating. Altho my family drinks like fish. Luckily, I don't see them often ;)

    I had 2 red last night. Husband is going skiing in Park City and will be gone for the Super Bowl as well. This could be bad news for my plans to keep moderating. I do have my crazy *kitten* gay crowd that loves to get a hold of me when the husband leaves town. We shall see.

    Have a great week everyone!

    Have a cold/sinus infection- on the positive side my appetite is in the toilet and I have had a couple zeros the past few days. Going to be a glass is half full kinda guy and take that as a win.

    Yes, we have quite a few friends and many of them are crazy! Plus we tend to be the "social people"; we always throw the parties, get everyone together, etc. So when people want to go out, drink, etc. they call us. It's fun, but can get exhausting at times......

    0 for me last night.

    2 days to go....................I've dropped just shy of ten pounds so far this month :bigsmile: My final weigh-in will be tomorrow.


    Kate, are those zero's by your name? Well done.

    Ashley, I bet your friends are back.

    Syd, enjoy the little weekend away without hubs.

    Ryz, feel better and the lushiness will return soon.
