    I'm glad your shoulder is feeling better Sydney! I'll have to pass the info onto my husband.

    Sorry about your kitty Amy.

    Hey everyone else!

    Monday - 0
    Tuesday - 1
    Wednesday - 7
    I had a martini with Eric and our friend he went to a West 6 4 course dinner with. Then I drank a bottle of wine as planned. Then I had 2 cocktails, the last of which I REALLY didn't need. I had a nice night ordering Chinese delivery and watching Parenthood once the kids went to bed. Then I realized Season 5 isn't available on Amazon so reactivated my Netflix so I can watch Season 5. Tonight will be a 0. I also need to behave this weekend. I have my physical on Monday morning....blood work and all. Although last year I had 3 stiff drinks the night before because I didn't know they were doing blood work and it came back fine. My liver still works. :drinker:

    Sorry about your cat Amy. Our Lab Molly is 13 and slowing down. No doubt we will be taking the final trip to the vet within the next year.

    Sydney, glad to hear your shoulder pain is controlled to where you can work out. I hate it when an injury causes me to lose my fitness level.

    Downloaded windows 10 this AM. So far so good. :)

    Thursday - 2 glasses of wine at dinner, cocktail in hot tub. I mean you really can't do either of those things without drinks right? I wanted a 4th but I stopped and went to bed early.

    I had cocktails yesterday but the key for me (and losing weight) seems to be to quit drinking early and move to water. I had 4 vodka sodas with a splash of mango over the course of several hours. Then moved to water by 8pm. Woke up this morning feeling fine and just finished a workout. I may do something similar today with the drinks...it's my new favorite! :drinker:
    Happy Friday lushes...have a great weekend!

    Friday - 5 drinks
    Saturday - Started drinking around 1. Went to bed around 1. 5 beers during the day by the pool and probably 4-5 glasses of wine with/after dinner. I felt ok yesterday; just tired from staying up late 2 nights in a row and having a 3.5 year old toss and turn in bed with us all night.
    Sunday - 0 because I sort of forgot I had my physical this morning. Probably shouldn't have had a binger less than 48 hours prior..... We'll see how my blood work comes back.

    Monday - probably a 0.
    I'm going to make a greater effort this week to stay within my prescribed drink limit.

    It was a good weekend. We made incredible pork enchiladas and drank tequila on Saturday. Sunday was a chill day. I had a bottle of red. (It took all day to drink it.) Sounds like you are doing okay.

    I remember the one time I binged before blood work. I had to redo because my liver enzymes were up a bit.

    Uh oh..... They were fine last time and I had 3 stiff drinks the night before, so like less than 12 hours prior. Of course this time I had more than 3 drinks.... I guess we'll see.

    I had a bottle of red and several vodka cocktails on Friday over many hours. Had a 0 on Saturday. 3 glasses of wine yesterday. Didn't gain any weight over the weekend which is always a plus!
    Starting pt for my shoulder today and hoping it goes well. Maybe wine tonight?

    Thought about picking up some wine tonight, but I am going to try to at least make it to Thursday night with all 0's.

    2 0's in a row! It's been a while since that happened..... I would like to say I'd try again for one, but it is gorgeous here today: low 80s and low humidity, I'm off tomorrow, and grilling turkey sausages after Pilates. I reckon I'll have a couple peach vodka and seltzers.

    Sunday=0 drinks
    Monday=2 beers. I had a pineapple sour from O'dells. Anyone else like sours? They are like a tart shandy to me, I really like them.
    Last night we finished the second season of True Detective. Did anyone else watch it? I didn't hate like all the reviews made out like I would. I liked the first one better, but...
    Probably a 0 tonight, got the scale in the morning...

    Ended up drinking a whole bottle on Monday. PT went great but the car broke down. The husband and I were ready for drinks when we were done dealing with that.
    0-Tuesday
    1-2-Wednesday? Probably a glass or 2 tonight. I'm down another pound!! I want to keep it up.
