Like Minded Lushes - July 2010

I fell off the wagon so hard last night I think I cracked my skull. That would certainly explain the headache. :ohwell:

All wagons should have a moral obligation to supply soft furnishings to aid unexpected landings

I fell off the wagon so hard last night I think I cracked my skull. That would certainly explain the headache. :ohwell:

you knew it was coming especially since you had a crazy day at work yesterday. Its okay we all have bad days and skull craking wagon falls.

Today I am doing the IT'S FRIDAY happy dance.:bigsmile: I can taste the wine:drinker: already and vodka:drinker: and whatever else I find tonight. :laugh:

happy weekend imbibing or obstaining to all!!!

I might even commit to buying the 30 day shred DVD this month as everyone seems to rave about it on here. I never said actually start it, just buy it But then again maybe that just seems like a good idea because I'm on my 2nd glass of wine :drinker:

I've done pretty well in that the last two weeks I've only had a couple of drinks one day during the week in place of 2-3 beers minimum every single day. I have succeeded in drinking in relative moderation on Fri/Sat nights as well, so a big improvement. My weight loss has slowed but I'm almost at my "ideal" BMI weight of 210.8 - only 4 lbs to go!

My goal next week - starting Sunday - is to not drink at all Sun - Fri and drink in moderation on Saturday only. Wish me luck!

Cheers :drinker:

Hey!! good job keep up the good work!

Did I really need to buy the BIG bottle of Crown Royal?!

Yes!

I finally found you guys on the new thread. It took a while due to my drunken haze. (Thanks for the email, Dave!)

I'm going to be completely honest here because I don't know any of you in real life. I drank every single night this past week. Not only that, but I drank a lot more than I usually do. I think I've got some sort of weird psychological thing going on... like I don't want to admit that I drink too much so I drink more just to prove that it's not really a problem. I know it doesn't make sense but it is what it is.

The good news is that I continue to lose weight at about a pound a week, which is my goal. On Monday I will start the Couch to 5K running program. I plan to enter a 5K race in the fall. This is HUGE for me because up until a few weeks ago I hadn't run at all since high school, and that was a long time ago!

I think the more I get outside running, the less I'll be drinking. I'm not even going to try to abstain from drinking this weekend because it's a holiday but beginning next week I will try to cut down.

Good luck to you all!!

Did I really need to buy the BIG bottle of Crown Royal?!

Does liquor come in small bottles???

At least you worked out today Surly.

Cheers, Sue

the only small bottles that count come on airplanes since that is the only option.
