Like Minded Lushes June 2011

Ugh so cross with myself, drank plenty of wine last night and then wound up de-touring via a chinese takeout... hello sesame prawn toasts and duck with rice, goodbye making my calorie goal (and all my other damn goals) for the day...

Now sitting at work with a little bit of a headache but have promised myself I will go to the gym this evening as I've not got any plans. Today is not going to be fun

Happy Friday Everyone!!!!

Firstone Walker Double Jack is soooo awesome. Had 11oz of that and 1/2 Fegleys Hopsolutely, total 17oz of beer....Mmmm beer!!!!!!!!
Tonight we are heading down to Sea Isle, NJ for the weekend and it is guaranteed to be very lushy!!! Tonight I'll stick to wine and tomorrow frozen daquiris, raspeberry vodka and sprite zero and BEER :drinker:
I'm gonna get a nice long walk along the beach tomorrow morning to help my day out alittle, but after that I make no promises :laugh:

I weighed in today (my normal weigh in day is saturday) since I won't be around tomorrow and SUCCESS I was at my goal weight :happy: But I think I will keep my setting as they are for the next couple of weeks since we will be super busy with summer celebrations!!!! But once they suside alittle I'm going on maintenance and going to start 30day shred!!!!

Enjoy your day everyone!!!!!

What a great thread. Glad to see there are people out there who are trying to lose weigh or get into shape but aren't giving up all their vices to achieve their goals. You have to live a little!!!!!

I've been trying to cut the alchohol out during the week as well. So far so good this week. I'm heading to the beach for vacation at the end of the month so my goal is to really cut back until then. Of course on Tuesday I'm going to bottle beer that we made. :drinker: I'm sure I'll be doing a little taste testing.

Found out last night that I am going to be a grandma. :noway: Drank lots of vodka to get a grip on the idea.

DD is 27 and her hubby is 34. They have been together 8 years and got married in January. Stable jobs, good home so it is all really good news and she has wanted this for a long time but .......

I am too young to be a grandma:sad: I am having trouble wrapping my lushy little mind around the idea. I am sure I will get more into it as time goes on. I am really excited, just kind of freaked out.

Young grandmoms are the best!!!!! Congrats to your daughter and husband!!!

Congratulations Robin...that's exciting news

I was lushy last night...very lushy...but, no more this week

Gramma's are the best, I wouldn't be where or who I am today without mine.

In fact, I'm making today my rest day from the X so I can spend the day with my Mom and Gram ... and yes, there will be wine =]

Congrats on making it to Granny land!!

I feel like junk today thanks to the numerous tequilla and Rumpie shots last night after each game of pool. So of course I went ahead and then got some taco bell which I pounded like no ones business and passed out before I could even clean up the mess. :noway:

I think I am going to need to take it a little easy seeing we have a volleyball tournament this weekend. :glasses:

Maybe just some wine.

We have a new found passion for wine. I really like the cabs and merlots. I found a coppola called Russo I believe and I really like it. It was a mix of diff reds and priced well.

Anyone have good suggestions for a new wine couple? My wife is a lot more into moscatos and sweeter wines so it is rare I found one we are both really into. :drinker:

Usually only drink cab or shiraz or malbec or haha, jk!!! But Robert Mondavi has a really nice cab that I buy frequently and its usually always on sale. If you care to splurge on a special night Coppola Directors Cut Cab is it die for!!!!
These days I have been buying boxes of Red Box Cab, its the best boxed wine I've found (comparible to most bottles too, quality wise) and it stays fresh so you don't feel like to have to finish the bottle....on another note, its does make it easier to have more, haha!!!!
Oh and the red box is only 15calories per ounce (researched it on different sites) which is less than most wines!!!!
Enjoy!

Welcome to granny world! :bigsmile: It's much more fun the second time around. You get to feed them junk, spoil them, dress them funny, give them too much sugar and then send them home!

My mom picks up my littlest after daycare and almost always takes him to her house to make him PB and J and a milkshake before she brings him home! Spoils his dinner all the time but its their "thing" so I don't complain

Congrats on making it to Granny land!!

I like Pinot Noir, it's a red wine but has a sweet buttery taste that your wife might like.

My husband thinks he needs to go get a new tatoo today so I told him he has to do whatever I want tomorrow cause he gets to spend so much money on himself and he agreed! So that means our beach trip is on! Whooo Hoooo, I the beach! Now I'm gonna work on getting MYSELF a tatoo outta the deal:devil:

Hello Lushes! I love to drink red wine. I use to have a glass a night after work but on tough days I would add another glass. Wasn't helping the losing part. I also like margaritas at my fav latin place we go to.

Lately though I finally quit toxic job and it took so much stress off me that I haven't had a drink since! Two weeks now.

I know I will have more again but its nice to have a time out. I quit right after a migraine from all the stress. It sort of woke me up big time!

You can still lose weight and have a glass of wine here and there, I think when you stop all of the things you like eventually you will go off program.

Mon - 0
Tues - 0
Wed - 0
Thurs - 0
Fri - 1 bottle of wine.

I plan to not indulge until after next Thursday's weigh in for Kim's comp. I can do this! :smokin:

Oh come on Faith, you stole Debbie from us... You'll be fine, a few drinks won't hurt:devil:

I'm still here.....Sorry I haven't been commenting lately. It seems that now I get to comment every 2 weeks or so! Or, read everyone's comments. You all are doing good! I'm holding my own, stable right now. Time to get moving! I need to start logging my calories again. Just 'cause. Holding is good, but need more off. I guess I subliminally program it that way. "Course I'm drinking beer. lol, but haven't been too bad these last 2 months. It's the temp job, I'm tellin' ya!

Congratulations Robin...that's exciting news

I was lushy last night...very lushy...but, no more this week

Oh come on Kim, It's only Friday... You have the WHOLE weekend ahead of you! Just a few drinks couldn't hurt:devil:

I've had out-of-town guest in and out for 2 weeks...it's not good for lushiness

We were supposed to have a neighorhood movie night last night (we project a movie onto a neighbor's white house and we watch it from our yard/patio) so we all started off by drinking...then it rained so the women-folk and kids moved to one house so the kids could watch the movie and the men stayed at our house and watched hockey and drank beer. I drank...a lot.

Not sure about tonight, it's supposed to be chilly so there probably won't be much outdoor time, which gets me into trouble, so most likely we'll be indoors, perhaps playing some Wii dance so I can shimmy the calories off. :laugh:
