Chloe, sorry about the job Sweetie! But you are right it wasn't meant to be!!!!

Last night 10oz of wine. Cleaning the living/dining room/kitchen...all very half a$$ed btw, but it was something.
Tonight I have a lovely cab. sauv blanc in the fridge that has been waiting for me all week :bigsmile:
Tomorrow we are going up to my in laws for the day/night. My sister in laws bridal shower is next month and we are making pepper jelly for the favors. Should be fun....and interesting. I have never done anything like that before.
After jelly making commenses, alcohol of sorts shall be drank.....beer, vodka, wine haven't decided yet!!!!

hey thanks everybody!

Still staying strong with the zeros, one more night left! Tomorrow we are going to dinner for our one year anniversary to a seafood place. I'm sure I will have some cocktails and wine. Sunday we are frying a turkey at our friends house, so I am sure I will have some drinks that day too. But, I will try to keep it all under control as to not undo all me zeros from this week :happy:

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

Thu - 3 beers
Team win.

Thursday=1 beer
Pretty good, I rarely stop at one! I went home and had a milk shake instead, but oh well...

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

zero for last night. I did not get much cleaning done though as I remembered I had the new Sons of Anarchy waiting for me on the dvr. Love that show.

Already have champagne logged for tonight.

Remember that 0 I said I'd have for today??? Well forget it. I just spent 2+ hours running errands in 102 heat. This girl is cracking open a cold beer for lunch today.

Monday - 2 hard ciders
Tuesday - 0
Wednesday - 1 hard cider, 4oz. wine
Thursday - 0
Friday - 2 glasses wine

Looks like I am on an every other day pattern, but I will be breaking that tomorrow. I have been saving a nice bottle of cab to go with the Vietnamese beef tips for dinner tomorrow.

Have a great weekend lushes!

Well I didnt make it through last night....I sat at home and watched "The Vow", it was ok, but I can never make it through a good chick flick without a glass of wine. Soo...

Monday-Thursday-0
Friday- 8 oz red

And it would have been pretty much within my cals except the hubs brought home a box of fudge covered oreos and I was craving chocolate big time. But, I kept it to one serving of 3 cookies. Tonight I INDULGE! I already have picked out what I want for our anniversary dinner tonight, it is roasted halibut with a king crab sauce on top...yum! I have been thinking about this meal all week! Now I have to workout and stain my fence all day, so at least I will earn this delicious meal tonight :happy: Happy Saturday everyone! The weather in Chicago is gorgeous today!

Weather in Connecticut is lovely too, a nice Fall day

However I would love a drink already .... doing the seating chart for the wedding :grumble: But I still have to work out so a drink is a no go right now.

Oh boy, mama lush. Been there, done that. :noway:

I ended up with another 0 but ate like crap, so it would be nice if I could string together the 0s with some healthy eating!
Party today. The son requested Italian food (on the hottest day of the year) so I made the sauce and meatballs yesterday. Today i will make the pasta, chicken parm, shrimp scampi, Caesar salad and of course garlic bread. Red Velvet cake for dessert. The good thing for me is when I cook all this stuff, I never feel like eating it. I will be drinking though. :drinker:
Have a great weekend lushes!

I'm really impressed with these 0 days you guys are racking up. I haven't had a zero day in a couple of weeks.

I have a doctor's appt this week that I'm really nervous about because of some weird health problems that have just started happening. One would think this would prompt me to be doing healthier things, but, um, no. I drink more when I'm stressed and this is stressing me out.

Plus, I'm one of those people who gets on WebMD and convinces myself I have all sorts of terrible diseases (like cirrohsis.) I know, I probably sound like a nut. I have a phobia of doctors and always have.

Also, is everyone here really honest with the docs when they ask about alcohol use and smoking? I can't really bring myself to admit how much of both I really do (although I have made a lot of progress on cutting down the cigs... :embarassed:

Just wondering...

That's what I worry about too, the judgements. I know I shouldn't but it makes it hard to be honest. I'm afraid the doc will tell me I just need a good shrink or something! Ugh, I'm so sorry you had to deal with that, what a jerk that dr. was to you.

I just started seeing a chiropractor as well. He was much easier to be honest with, and made me feel comfortable (well the adjustment was not so comfortable, but I could tell he was working some places that I needed to have worked!)

By the way, your dogs are precious!!

Also, is everyone here really honest with the docs when they ask about alcohol use and smoking? I can't really bring myself to admit how much of both I really do (although I have made a lot of progress on cutting down the cigs... :embarassed:

We screen admissions in the hospital for substance abuse and typically double the number they give us. Some nurses freak out if they hear that they have 2 a night and put them on alcohol withdrawl protocol. I laugh at them and tell them that I drink more than that.

Anyway, I am ready for zeros...danced and drank a bunch last night...so, I think I will shoot for severe moderation and zeros before I leave for Chicago in 2 weeks.

Today, I clean, do laundry and watch football.

Listened to my body and took today as another rest day. My legs are killing me and have been sore for a couple weeks now. We have gotten most of the wedding forms done today so we're in good shape. I had champagne earlier and now mixed drinks but spaced out and watching football Sort of a nice lazy Sunday, back to the double work outs tomorrow though as my second and final dress fitting is this coming Saturday :bigsmile:

OH! We ordered our wedding bands and they should both be here by the end of the week!!!!!!!! Cannot wait to see them! They aren't matching and they're both different from the norm Also ordered our Swarovski toasting flutes that my mom will pay us back for because she wanted that to be her gift to us :flowerforyou:

As for yesterday we went out to lunch and had some drinks and I came home and just got in bed. So I had one meal, a few beers and was in bed SUPER EARLY. Napped a bit then was up on and off through the night but woke up feeling great I'm looking forward to bed tonight and definitely looking forward to my work outs tomorrow!

Happy Sunday my lovely lushes :drinker:

Nice work, mama lush!

Too many drinks to count yesterday. None today but waaayyyy over in calories due to hangover eating. Hell, I had red velvet cake for breakfast and it just kept going from there. :glasses:

Fresh start tomorrow.
