OK kiddos, I am back. Again. Going to try to go booze free through Thursday. So much like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, I'll be here for the week.0

Last week's tally:
Sunday: 1 beer
Monday: 0
Tuesday: 2 glasses chard, 2 glasses sparkling white
Wednesday : 0
Thursday: 2 small dirty martinis, 1 glass red
Friday: 4ish glasses wine, couple ounces sake
Saturday: 3 beers, 4 glasses wine
Sunday: 1 beer
I plan on staying dry till Thursday (book club) and drinking minimally Friday. Saturday we have dinner plans with friends but remembering going to bed would be good.0 -
WOW I had a really lushy weekend but I had such an awesome time having no plans and just hanging out with my husband! LOVE those weekends.
Friday-1/2 beer, 2 shots of sweet tea vodka, and 12oz of wine
Saturday-OH BOY ready for this......split a beer before we went to the mall, then we went to lunch and each had 2 20oz beers, then split a growler, then had another beer, while playing pool and darts.
Sunday-I slept super late sunday...like 1030am late :laugh: But I must have slept wrong because I woke up and could barely move my neck....stupid herniated disc. So I missed my run yesterday morning and instead sat on the couch with a heat wrap and some martinis. 4 martinis and a glass of wine.
Monday-depending on how my neck feels after work I may go for a run the weather is gorgeous here, finally the humidity and high temps have subsided. So if I go for a run I will probably have wine....who am I kidding I will probably have wine anyway

You are always welcome Papa Lush.
Yesterday was bad. I had an awesome peach daiquari at brunch and then 1/2 a bottle of wine and then two huge vodka rocks to help me cool down. (it was hot yesterday)
Doug's birthday is this week and he is taking Wed-Fri off so I am sure it will be a lushy week. Oh well wha't a girl gonna do.
My motto for the week is MODERATION!!!!!!! Wish me luck.
Oh I posted this pic on FB it was of a little flask that said "I didn't text you..... Vodka texted you"0 -
Hello lushes! I am back from my mini vacay up in the Northwoods of Wisc and boy did we drink!

Wednesday- about 1.5 bottles of red
Thursday- bloody Mary, 2 summer shandys, and soooo much wine I cant even count (husbands uncle does a wine tasting with cheese and sausage and covered the labels on the wine and say which one we liked best)
Friday- beers on the boat all day and then his uncle did a beer tasting similar to the wine tasting and then the wine kept flowing
Saturday- 2 glasses of wine with lunch, 3 vodka tonics and a miller lite

This week I am totally detoxing!0 -
I'm going to shoot for 0s along with Dave and you others going for a no booze week. I can do it. (She tells herself rather weakly)
Kate, hope your neck feels better. I hate when that happens...tell hubby a massage is in order!
Omg Robin, that made me laugh. I need to send that to my g/f.
Have a great week everyone!0 -
Sat - 4 beers
Sun - 4 beers0 -
Ok, Weekend was good. Friday=2 drinks, a marg and a beer
Saturday-beer fest, I tasted 13 beers in 5 oz glasses, then went on to have two more beers.
Sunday=0 drinks!
Might detox this week, I got a 5k Friday and Warrior Dash on Sunday.

Went to the Beer and Chili challenge yesterday and sampled 43 beers and some delicious chili. It was from 12-4 so after we all took a nap then the fiancé came home and bummed around on the couch. Woke up and felt fine and this week I'm going for 0's until Saturday as I have my first dress fitting and I'd like to not be poofy from the booze. All in all it was a good weekend
About to get my work outs done soon and then wait for the fiancé to get home at a normal time finally :happy: 0 -
Horrible, horrible day on the unit yesterday. I was literally in tears. I have never been so under-appreciated. I am sure that the patients were wondering what was wrong with their bi-polar nurse with her watery eyes and red nose. Geez Louise, what a hot mess it was.
The cure was a tampon and a bottle of wine. Then, slept like a baby.
Off to work and then I am going to be good for the rest of the week, I hope.0 -
awww kim. :flowerforyou:
I did LOL @ the tampon and bottle of wine cure though.0 -

Is it wrong that I did as well?0 -

Im debating trying to go alcohol free until Maui.
But I need to finish the open bottle of wine first, right?
DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT let that open bottle of wine go to waste - that's like alcohol abuse!!! :huh: That would just be wrong!!
That being said - I am absolutely, positively going for zero's all week. Drank like a freakin' fish this weekend (hubby's bday weekend - major celebrating!!) Gotta get the scale movin again and it just isn't gonna happen with alcohol!
Of course, all bets are off for the weekend as we're going up north for hubby's family reunion....:drinker: :drinker: alcohol is in order once you're around an entire family of Irishmen! :ohwell:0 -
I "caved" and had a drink last night. It was only 4 ounces of sauvignon blanc so I actually barely count that as a drink. My husband was at Mumford and Sons drinking beer, so I felt entitled to at least a little. I left an entire glass in an open bottle! And on season premier night of Intervention. Oh how I love to catch a buzz while watching addicts get intervened on......
So:
Sunday: 1 (it was a Bud Light so I hardly count that either)
Monday: 4oz. of sauv blanc
Tonight and tomorrow to be 0's too.0 -
No run last night, neck is still aggravated, but I will attempt some yoga tonight and I think I will stay away from the gym this week, as to not tempt me to push myself, unless I feel 100%, its just not worth it!!! I continued to go the last time I aggravated it and it never fully healed!!! :sad: I know :laugh:
Monday-8oz of wine
Tuesday-8oz of wine....that'll pretty much be the trend for the week :happy:0 -
I just really didn't feel like cooking or eating dinner last night so vodka made a great substitute! :laugh:
the scale is still slowly creeping downward. gotta love that.0 -
Oh Kate, I'm sorry you're hurting. Hope you heal soon.
0 last night! Lets see if I can keep it going. Gunna swim today and that always makes me hungry and thirsty for an adult beverage.0 -
