Welcome to June!! Summer season is here. BBQ's and lots of icy cold beverages to tempt us. Good luck to those abstaining and we are here for you. Good luck to those moderating and we are here for you. Good luck to those who are just gonna do what they want to do and we are here for you!




I will struggle no doubt this month but at least I have all of you wonderful lushes to help me thru.

I did good yesterday until late in the evening and I had a vodka pom juice. It was all down hill after that. I am so darned weak willed.

    Like Robin said- nicer weather, more bbq's more frosty beverages all countered by more outdoor activities! Planning on spending most of the day outside- yard work etc.

    I love this month's topic "monded" I checked ubandictionary.com and didn't find anything. Guess we will have to create our own definition. I am with Syd it's gotta be dirty. And in that vein- I am going outside to do some caulking.

    3 Glasses of wine spread out over the day. I have 2 pounds to drop from vacation that aren't budging. I should probably try for a few 0's in a row and see what that does. :grumble:

    3/4 box of Crisp White wine Friday (to celebrate my last day of work - yeah, that's it :laugh: )
    1/2 box of Crisp White wine Saturday......

    Today will be nothing. I will stick to it because I start a NEW job tomorrow and gotta be there by 7:30. I was so spoiled with 9 A.M.. But much better pay, full health ins, and full dental after a year. Training for office manager at DDS office. Never did this before, but I am sure I can do it. My friend Molly works as the dental hygienist and got me in. I didn't expect to really have a chance at this as I have no background in this field. God works in mysterious ways. : )

    Got back on Adkin's since last Wed. It worked before, and I really need it now. With this new job, the drinking will go way down if not to zero during the week. So good time to really concentrate on Adkin's too.

    Hope all had a good weekend, and cheers to a great week!! :drinker:

    A Like Monded Lush...... LOL!

    Hello all! Happy June!! Cannot believe I am saying that! I swear, it'll be December again before we know it! I've been a bad lush lately. Went out last night with hubs & friends, and by 11pm we were home & I was asleep. Not more than 2 drinks were had. But that was because we were at a pretty ****ty bar and the bartender couldn't keep up! So lame!!

    Anyway, this month kicks off a super lushy summer. I have 3 weddings..so that means 3 bachelorette parties on the weekends in between the weddings!! Oh man oh man....lots of time will need to be spent at the gym! Oh well...I'll enjoy every minute!

    Hope everyone is having a wonderful Sunday!

    Happy June lushes!

    I made it through another weekend. This one was much easier than the last. Not sure if it's because I am at that 14 days = habit forming, or the fact that it wasn't a holiday weekend, but I didn't absolutely pine for a cocktail. So I think that's good. What's not good is that abstaining is having absolutely zero affect on my weight loss, which surprises me some, but not much since I think I've been more snacky. And if I'm being honest, some of those "low" weights were days after drinking in excess and probably due to dehydration. So I'm doing a little juicey/liquid cleanse today and doing a pretty strict diet most of the week.

    Next Monday I will drink wine. And then it's off to Bonnaroo next Thursday!

    Today is day 15.

    Good for you Ashley, you are a good wifey!! YAY to Bonnaroo!!!!

    crazycat-Congrats ont he new job and good luck!!!

    Had LOTS and LOTS of white wine. Felt kind of crappy yesterday but picked right back up at cousin's 30th bday party...had about 3-4beers and 2 capt and cokes! Finished up a bottle of wine when we got home...small glass of red.
    I am planning nothing for the next couple of days and we have nothing in the house so as long as I stay away from the liquor store I should be fine. Friday we are taking off and heading down to Dogfish Head in DE before spending the weekend with friends in Ocean City, MD. Very excited!

    Summer is definitely going to be rough not being able to drink! 5 more months to go until baby gets here! We found out its a BOY! So that is exciting, although I was shock because I totally thought it was a girl. Have a margarita for me lushes bc I have definitely been craving one!

    BTW...I've just decided I have a thing against authority/someone telling me what to do. I had to go without coffee for 48 hours for a test I had done. I don't even drink it that much...I just love my morning cup as soon as I wake up...maybe have another and that's it for the day.
    I was CRANKY! And my test was over at 9:40...I spotted a coffee cart outside the building and marched right up and ordered me a cup.I wasn't even craving it at that point..it was more of a screw you...I'm gonna have one now!!.

    I think my drinking habits are a little similar. :huh:

    I totally here you Syd. Even I am the authority telling my self not to drink I get uppity and pouty and tell myself I can have one if I want one cuz no one is gonna tell me what to do.

    I had a little Kahlua in the coffee yesterday and then white wine for dinner. and then white wine after dinner. almost 2 bottles less a big glass for Doug and a big splash in the white sauce.

    Congrats on the boy. I had girls so I just don't really know.

    Way to go on the abstaining.

    Congrats on the new job.

    Happy lushing all.

    Well, I've finally managed a zero. However, now I have a food hangover from eating like crap yesterday due to the overindulgence on Sunday.

    Monday, 0
    Tuesday, 0
    Wednesday, 0
    Thursday, 0
    Friday, 0
    Saturday, marathon day
    Sunday, 0

    Parents are coming to visit on Sunday and I am lucky that my mom is not a drinking. I'll have a trip to the casino on Monday which I will just have to deal with.

    completely went off the rails....totally abandoned counting, not enough storage room in my brain for the high numbers...trying to reign myself back in.
    trying to focus on not focusing on it?
    the more i try to abstain, the more i can't get delicious beverages out of my head.
    ::sigh::
