Like Minded Lushes April 2011

Robin, bikinis are overrated, and I hear frocks are in...long live the frock:drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

Dinner was good...went to Champps and had 2 large beers

Now, I am faced with a dilemna ...continue with beer - or - skinny margaritas...oooo, there's another option, I could stop drinking...Nawww...Anyway hubs does not vote for the skinny margarita decision as he like a functional wife who does not mix liquor

Please vote, I will check back after I've gone to the bathroom...further thinking will continue there, decisions, decisions

Sounds like everyone is enjoying their friday night. :drinker:
No alcohol for me. I indulged last night and am not feeling too great today.
I did just have some delicious shrimp tacos, however. First time I've been over my calories in some time.
The bathing suit isn't gunna be pretty at spring break next week...but oh well.
By the time I go on my Laguna Beach trip in June I should have made more progress.

Everyone have a great weekend!

Split a bottle of white with the boyfriend at dinner, more like I had most of the bottle and he had a glass ( he did have 5 beers at work since the have a tap in the office). Since I was a baby, I've always eaten and drank quickly. Does not help with alcohol haha. Also had a glass of champagne with dessert. Currently having a glass of red. Tomorrow could be interesting, especially with dinner with my girls tomorrow night. My bestfriend knows how to drink just like I do.

Watching Rob Zombie's Halloween right now. Grew up watching the Originals as well as Nightmare on Elm Street but I don't mind Rob's movies.

Hope my fellow lushes are having a wonderful night :drinker:

your night sounds excellect! (especially champagne with dessert)

worked extra hard at the gym, so about to sit on the couch and climb into a glass (or three) of red as well ... yay friday!

Can I join inl!!! I love WINE reds, whites, Champagne. Last August I committed to not drinking wine for an entire month which I succeeded and lost 7lbs great! I kept going lost another 7lbs for 3 months straight. Holidays come and I fall off the wagon.

Now since January i have been indulging on the weekends a bottle of wine Saturdays and Sundays. I am still losing weight but like 2lbs in a month. Now it is April and I have a trip in June and I would love to get 10 more lbs off.

I read you guys often last year and post once or twice then I couldn't find you guys anymore.

So here I am. I made a committment to not have a drink the entire month of April which I just blew tonight having dinner with my hubby and my son (who came home from college). I am proud I just had one glass of wine though!! LOL

Loving this thread! I work out extra every Tuesday so I can continue my dive bar nights. It's an awesome crappy bar with $3 drafts until 9pm. Then they're $1.50...

Worked out and was good on calories during the day so I could have 2 normal sized glasses of wine. Good thing about cutting back though. Back to college tolerances (I was a goody-two-shoes for a while. I got over that.). I'm a little buzzed. Off of 2 glasses.

That's the great thing about wine. Some wine is 110 calories a glass but 12-14 abv. So it gets ya buzzed much quicker than beer, and can therefore be less expensive =] Most champagne is 100 cals for 5 oz and lucky for me, I absolutely love champagne. No matter what day of the week or what time of year. It can make a normal day or night feel so special

I got back from Lawrence Kansas! Tuesday I didn't drink, traveled, got in late, Wednesday I had a pineapple beer at a bar with dinner, really yummy and just pineapple juice in dos xx lager if you want to try it! I bought a bottle of wine and had a couple glasses in my room. Thursday I had two beers at Free State brewing and I was totally going to go back to my room but got talked into staying out, went to ellington's (?) where I had a blue moon and a french kiss martini, then too Sandbar where I had a marg and two miller lites-no wonder I felt awful today. I packed up the half-bottle and am drinking that tonight.
Glad to be home:drinker:

Sounds fabulous and welcome home! I have a cruise coming up the end of May and I love them, but I miss my pups soooooo much and it's just such a wonderful feeling being back home, IN your own home =]

I think it is going to be a two bottle Chardonnay night. I even gave in to my craving and picked up fried chicken for dinner. I don't know why I feel so pissed at everything. Maybe because DH has been home sick for the past two days. So you may see drunken ramblings from me later. it sounds like most of will be enjoying ourselves this weekend. (bikinis be damned!)

I am the same. It's like I lost 7 kg so who gives a **** now? (even though I am still grossly overweight) It's weird I'm in a funk of not caring, not exercising. The new job put me out of routine etc. Why do I care about weight when for years I didn't care? It's not for health reasons cause I smoke, and I don't care about living longer. I am single no kids, so eh don't care. I need to somehow find why I started this again.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu(k. (hoping <---that makes it past the censor-bot)

So, Hubs got home at 6, I made us another drink (I was one down) to enjoy while we raked the yard. Then, we went to the neighbor's house where I proceeded to help her drink an entire bottle of Skinny Girl margaritas... might of had more to drink but I can't remember. I didn't eat, other than the 1/2 of a can of soup. I know I threw up, because my throat hurts. I think Hubs had to carry me home and much of the night past 9 is a blur. Oy.

On a happy note, I don't feel like crap, because I threw up, and I woke up at 5 to pee and took some ibuprofen and chugged a glass of water. So, while I'm not 100%...it could be worse.

Sunday=1
Monday=1
Tuesday=0
Wednesday=0
Thursday=.5
Friday=um, let's call it 8 :drinker:

Faith, I'm sorry you're in a funk right now. Let us know if there's anything we can do to kick your a$s out of it.

I'd much rather throw up as well...so I don't feel *as* crappy today as I could have. Apparently, there were shots of Tuaca as well, which explains just why I was so trashed.

I'm coaching my son's soccer game today, so I'll be on the field, running around...which ought to suck, but it'll be good for me. I'm trying to slam a 32 oz. water bottle that I put a grape Propel packet in, and I'm hoping that will help. Needless to say...I don't think I'll be drinking tonight.:embarassed:

ugh I'm so sick and hungover. My punishment. :sad:

Ooh well I went to bed at 2am and felt marginally rubbish when my son woke me up at 7am. Didn't last too long though as we went out to the shop to buy my mum a present for mothers day tomorrow and then it was off to soccer school on our bikes. I ended up with the job of pumping up all the balls so that was a pretty good upper body workout as my arms were aching at the end.
I let my 13 year old take my 6 year old off to the shops together on their own for the first time as they wanted to buy me a present for tomorrow. Apparently I am due to be spoiled as they are planning breakfast in bed for me

and I've just had pizza for dinner and started on the beer already :blushing:

Well, you deserve to be spoiled...HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO YOU...enjoy the day

I wasn't feeling so well yesterday..so I can relate to how you're feeling. :sick:
The worst part for me is I don't overeat when I drink..but I do the next day to help me feel better. Plus I don't exercise.

Today I'm back on track for the weekend before I leave on vacay on Monday. Then all bets are off.

Good for you for working out! I probably would have felt better if I did...but the thought of exercising just made me a little "green". :frown:

Happy Mother's Day Yvonne!

Oh, running around while coaching today, I thought I was going to die, but it helped me feel sooooo much better. (That and the hamburger and Diet Coke from McDonald's I had on the way to go grocery shopping.)
