    Well, just got back from my physical and I have strep throat. :sick: I am so tired of being sick. Another 10 round of horse pills here I come.:drinker:

    Having wine with the doors open- yes that is a nice way to welcome in the springtime!

    And strep- Robin I am sure the stress at work has not helped your immune system. If the horse pills don't do the trick- kill that strep with an alcohol gargle. Just remember to swallow after!

    April 17th, Total count: 25

    Trying to hold out until Friday - or - Saturday. I'd like to keep it moderate for the weekend and I will need a self-control plan.

    I am home today (without pay:explode: ). I asked if I could work from home and was told no. They said it was my choice to take a day without pay or come in anyway. :noway: Um...., Strep is contagious. I was told by my doctor to stay away for 24 hours until the antibiotic had taken affect. So, as much as it will hurt my paycheck:sad: I did the 'right" thing and stayed home. I just don't understand the philosophy with today's computing capabilities. (And everywhere else I have worked in this company has had no problem with the occassional virtual day, Only this stupid job I have now has the issue with it:grumble: )

    Okay, so I cringe everytime I see my profile. It is definately motivation but it is also hard to look at. I wish I had a shape. I have always had a boyish shape. No waist at all. :ohwell: Even when I am mostly muscle (my Body fat in that pic was 25%)


    Last night I enjoyed a bottle of red. Slowly and over about 4 hours. That was fairly moderate on my part, right?

    The upside to staying home is that I got extra cuddles from Bodi and Ritter this morning,:laugh:

    Rjadams, I'm so sorry you are at home with strep. That is AWFUL! I used to get that almost yearly...and it is so painful! Take care of yourself & go buy some whiskey...it'll help your throat :wink:

    Ohhhh, Zip - the season begins...my your liver survive

    Robin, it's one day at a time - I guess. I lack willpower myself.

    April 18th - 25 and holding off until the weekend. The days move slowly and the numbers rise quickly.

    Feel better, Robin, and I understand about the waistlessness, my torso looks like a box...
    Last night I overdid it with the wine, there was a wine bar where you just put a card in and go around and select "taster", "half-glass" or "full glass" and I went overboard. sleepy today, not really sure how much I drank, either!
    Earlier in the week I was pretty good.
    Sunday=0 drinks
    Monday=0 drinks
    Tuesday=1 baileys and milk (it's a blizzard here in Denver)
    Wednesday=4 glasses of wine, maybe...

    Sorry, Robin. It's supposed to cool down and be a little gloomy next week if that makes you feel any better.

    I had an amazing lunch. The 1st of several birthday gatherings....this is not going to be a very good week for me I don't think. :noway:

    I ended up with 23 last week. Only 5 over my "goal". I have my race Saturday, so I'm going to try not to drink too much so I'm not dehydrated. But I have a very controversial planning commission public meeting Thursday night that I'm sure will drive me to drink.

    Well............I've been lushy.

    No surprise there. I'll behave until this weekend.

    I was pick-pocketed at the Mall of America on Saturday. I have no idea how it happened. It was my daughter's wallet that she put in my purse to hang on to. Of course, I felt horrible because all her ID's were in there and bank cards. It ruined our shopping day.

    Moral of the story is: never, ever go to the Mall on a weekend again. The screaming kids are enough to make you drink vodka. Why on Earth does anyone bring bratty, screaming toddler, infants to a giant mall?
