    rj- cute pictures thanks for posting!

    Another success for dinner- grilled tilapia fillets seasoned with lemon pepper.
    Steamed broccoli-
    And the big hit- spaghetti squash baked with butter, ginger, sweetener, and salt- Hold the horses mama, it was fantastic!

    As usual the grilled fish was timed with a two finger tumbler of scotch.... :drinker:

    Kate- I am thinking about trying for a zero tomorrow too. Since I started doing the spinning and hot yoga on Saturday mornings, it just makes more sense. Last Saturday morning I was hanging a little and it was not fun!

    I used to go to kickboxing class hungover ALL THE TIME in college on Saturday mornings. In my adult life I have been known to go for runs hungover on Saturdays too. My friend always used to give me *kitten* because I would literally be sweating booze..... I will try to keep it minimal Friday night as I have a 4 mile race (and a mile run home) Saturday morning.

    I ended up drinking last night. The weather seemed warmish, so I put the baby in the stroller and walked to the wine store and got a bottle of Grenach, a Rose' and some cheese. I had cheese, fruit, wine, crackers and hummus for dinner. I had 3 small glasses of rose' and was proud for not finishing the bottle. This week has been tough, so I wanted to catch a little buzz. The scale rewarded me with a 0.5 pound gain.... :noway: Oh well.... Husband went back to work today! Yay!!!!

    I've not had anything since...Sunday (or Monday.) Holy crap, that's a miracle! I've just wanted a beer, and we've been out of "my" beer. I think I'll get some chocolate stout tonight.

    I can't believe Olivia is a year! All these babehs...growing up so fast!

    Such cute pics Mama Lush!!

    We have a blizzard warning for our state for tomorrow into Saturday. Very happy husband is going to work from home tomorrow instead of go into work and stay at a hotel. We have plenty of booze so I think we'll be fine all snowed in :smile: The wine glasses I ordered that are my size (small) and match our Mad Men inspired scotch glasses were supposed to come tomorrow but they probably knew they wouldn't be able to come so they're coming today! I can't wait haha, there will certainly be white wine tonight.

    Monday - champagne
    Tuesday - white wine
    Wednesday - white wine
    Thursday - white wine in the new small and fun wine glasses :drinker:

    Just got an unexpected dinner invite, so I will probably have some wine. Nothing too crazy though. But, this means a zero tomorrow for sure.

    I'll blame it on Amy's birthday :wink: have a great night girl!

    SO um yeah, I got an email late afternoon yesterday that a local bar was tapping an amazing Chicago-based beer, which is rare in our area soooooo we decided to go out for some. The beer is Goose Island Bourbon County Stout. Holy crap, if you like beer and you like bourbon, its frickin heaven! I managed to eat well....got a salad with the dressing on the side, which I barely touched, but the beers were about 360 each, OUCH!!! We had two each, then came home and split two more.

    Monday-Wednesday: 0
    Thursday: 3beers, doesn't sound too bad BUT the beers we had were all over 10% abv, hence my mini hangover this morning and me missing my morning workout. My bag is packed for the gym after work and I shall go unless the weather turns. If the weather is sh!tty then I will either do yoga or some circuits at home.
    Not sure about drinks tonight maybe some wine maybe not??!!!

    Monday-Wednesday- 0
    Thursday- bottle of red

    Tonight will be zero. Tomorrow we are having friends over for dinner, I am thinking either vodka tonics or some skinny girl margarita. And Sunday who knows.

    I love anything goose island! The Bourbon Stout is amazing! We usually go to the Goose Island Bar every time we are in the city. It is right by Wrigley, so definitely every time we go to a Cubs game.

    Well, I almost made it Monday-Thursday with 0's. But hubby & I went to see Jersey Boys last night (excellent show!!) and we went to dinner beforehand. Had 3 beers at dinner then 2 glasses of wine at the show. Tonight...there will be more drinking! :happy: But I'm staying on top of workouts and feeling awesome!!! :bigsmile:

    HAPPY FRIDAY ALL!!! :drinker:

    I love, love, LOVE that beer Kate!!! We had it on tap once at a local Plan B restaurant but they change their beer all the time so it's gone :ohwell:

    White wine again last night and it's Friday and we're getting snowed in so there will be drinks. One of the models shows 37" for Hartford :noway: if any of these weather things are accurate then we are in for one heck of a blizzard. Husband went into work for a few hours this morning but is home safe and sound and picked up pup and kitty food in case we can't get out until Sunday. Now we just have to hope we don't lose power!

    Family company tonight so I bought two kinds of beer- an oatmeal stout that I got from Trader Joes and a six of Blue Moon. Anxious to try the oatmeal stout. Happy friday all my Lushy friends!
