    I've been a total lush this week, wine every night. It's been rather nice to indulge, it's definitely a nice stress relief, but I wouldn't like to drink this much every week, I'm find it harder to go a night alcohol free. I'm still heading for alcohol free november though, that way in my twisted little mind I can justify a super lushy december/new year!

    congrats, Kat! I want to see pics!
    After a couple of lush weeks I am trying to get it under control and get into a mermaid costume in two weeks so trying to limit drinking two glasses two days per week.
    Wed=0 drinks

    Heh Kim. We've all been there.

    I had another glass of wine tonight. Just one. I've slept and exercised well all week so I'm pretty pleased.

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

    The plan was a zero for tonight, but now my husband is getting off early, so we may go out :drinker: Tomorrow we are going out for a friends 30th bday, so drinks of course. Sunday back to zero. Plan on doing some major food prep for the week on Sunday to get myself back on track. I have been slacking and I think its cause of boring food options.

    TGIF Robin!
    Such a gorgeous fall day today. Back to mid 80s this weekend so we may relax by the pool after we do some yard work. Reconnecting with the husband. We are learning how to be just a duo again minus the kid...going out on dates again :tongue:
    Probably several glasses of wine tonight after keeping it to just 1/night all week.
    Happy weekend all! :drinker:

    Well, been super lushy this week. Nothing else to report. I am sure the scale will suck *kitten* on Wednesday.

    I am trying to fill the winter with fun activities so I am looking at a Roller Derby girls' night out and a 5K zombie run. I'm contemplating having a super bowl party depending on who's in it. Maybe, take the kids for a weekend of snowboarding. It's a long, long winter here.

    What's everyone doing for Halloween? I must live vicariously thru the young...

    I didn't do TOO bad at the party I guess. Zero for yesterday but I'm drinking right now as summer is on its way in Australia. The weather is gorgeous, its a day off. I have been to the gym but I am currently getting lushy at 1PM. :laugh: :drinker: :heart:

    Had a ridiculously lazy weekend and very unproductive.

    Monday-Thursday-zeros
    Friday- some wine, a margarita and a couple beers
    Saturday- wine, a skinny cucumber mojito (yum btw) and a couple beers
    Sunday- finished up a bottle of wine that was open....probably about 8 oz

    I have no idea how this week will go. I am off work Friday and no plans as of now for the weekend. Going to have zeros until Thursday at least.

    3wks of extreme lushiness is enough. Its time to get back on track and stop drinking so friggin much. I make no promises for the week, but tonight will be zero. We drank WAY too much last night and I am feeling it today!!

    Zip is gunna need to detox after baseball season...lol. (Go Giants...sorry buddy)

    Kate, been there! It must be hard finding your groove when you're so physically limited. What's the latest on the knee? Are you able to drive yet? ((Hugs))

    I've been doing quite well lately. 0 last night. No more than 2 glasses/nite the rest of the past week...spread out over several hours. Went to the movies yesterday (saw Argo..it was pretty good. It was a somewhat personal story since I had a family member who was a hostage in Iran...so it was tough to watch) but the amazing news is that I only had a handful of popcorn. This is unheard of, folks! I did have 4 red vines though. :glasses:
    Hope everyone has a fabulous week.
