    I'm back from our getaway and while it was very fun...I know I am at my highest weight in quite some time. I've got a wedding this weekend, but we are home for a solid month. Time for me to get into a good routine of eating healthy and exercising...a little moderation would be nice too B)

    Hope everyone had a nice weekend. I love long weekends and short weeks :bigsmile:

    Friday-we stayed up entirely too late and got hammered
    Saturday-I was hurting...cleaned, grabbed 2 beers and a growler, then had a few more drinks before I fell asleep on the couch at 7pm.
    Sunday-we did nothing......drank, of course but just watched tv for the most part
    Monday-beach and drinks.
    It was a good weekend!!!!

    Gonna try to get some zeros this week but make no promises. I got some really amazing news today.....a project I was working on back in PA finally closed and I am getting a bonus....this makes me want to celebrate :drinker:

    Congrats Kate!
    I drank wine last night. Too much :|
    I'm having my son's buddies over for a goodbye grilling and beers party...one of them is moving to NYC. I may have 1 beer but won't be over doing it. My liver needs a break.

    Thanks for starting the thread Syd. I have been on vacay and I didn't want to look at the computer at all over the weekend. I took Friday and Tuesday off to make a nice long weekend. I did really well on moderation. In fact I have a half bottle of wine waiting for me tonight. It is very strange to have an open bottle of wine.

    I am moderating and staying the same on the scale. Not losing not gaining. Not motivated. Frustrated.

    I hope that July will be the month I kick into gear. Wish me luck.

    I hope you all had a safe and happy 4th. The dogs hated it, but they survived.

    Great work with the moderation Robin!!!!

    Tuesday-We ended up going out to a nice restaurant for dinner last night = 1 manhattan and 1 glass of wine. Then another back at the house. 3 total
    Not sure about tonight, maybe a zero, maybe a glass of wine!!!
  • rjadams
    rjadams Posts: 4,029 Member
    Okay so I only had one glass out of the half bottle left. WTF! I still have 1 glass left. :noway:

    Hey lushes....I am feeling like I need to get some zeros but everytime I think it's going to happen I cave. I did buy some stress relieving adult coloring books and have been doing that in the evening which is helping me not mindless eat at night and also drink less.

    And I hear ya on the dogs hating the 4th....my poor Bella is so happy it's over!

    That's moderation, Robin!
    I had 1 beer and 1 glass of wine while grilling for the son's friends. Pretty mellow night for me. I've got 2 days of 0 plans before the wedding on Saturday. The only thing on my list to do is exercise.

    Tues - 2 beers, 3 sangrias
    Wed - 0
    Was planning on a 0 tonight, but a friend from Hawaii is in town and she's coming over for a drink. Tomorrow Eric is doing a bourbon tasting and going to a baseball game with a friend so I may take the kids to the pool and then drink a bottle of wine and watch a chick flick after they go to bed. Keep is mellow. Not much else planned for the weekend.

    I have done well this week working out and watching my food intake. So far so good. Hope to see some progress on the scale. I feel this week may be the week I get back on track!

    Good morning lushes! The wedding was fun..drank probably a bottle of wine but danced it off and then some. Quiet day yesterday...1 beer.
    The son is off to NYC for a week. The husband and I are in diet and exercise mode..I'm ready to get this extra weight off!

    Hi lushes. I did OK this weekend. Drank a lot but not completely ridiculous. And I worked out and/or walked almost every day last week. Diet was bad though. I was hoping for some 0's but work has been nuts today and there is wine in the fridge!

    I had a glass of wine and half a beer last night.

    I'm getting sick again; had a fever of 100 last night that I feel is back. So likely no booze tonight for me.

    Busy weekend - celebrated my mom's 81st b'day. Then help load son #2 and his wife's moving van. On Sunday helped them unload it at their new apt. It was on the third floor- no elevator. Great leg workout- I am still sore. Hope to moderate tonight!

    Oh, great job on the zeros! Get well soon Ashley!

    A bit lushy here - it's been hot, hot, hot and muggy here in Michigan - kinda makes me not want to do much...unfortunately, my husband ruptured his plantar fascia tissue 5 days ago so doing nothing hasn't been an option for me. He can't do anything, so I'm doing it all. :(
    Getting a zero probably isn't likely soon...
    Mon - 2 glasses wine
    Tues - 2 rum & PepsiMax

    Hope you feel better quickly Ashley!!

    Ouch! Sounds painful for you both...since you have to do everything!
    Moving is a great workout, Gary. I'm still helping my SIL get settled.
    I love the Big Island, Kate. Enjoy!
    Feel better Ashley.
    I'm doing well with the eating and exercise. Just 1 glass of wine yesterday.

    Hi Lushes! Finally starting to get on track which I've been slowly working up to this month and last. Drinks Fri-Sun but so far this week all zeros! Don't plan on drinking again until Friday. And I'm getting exercise for the first time in a long time... lots of walking but that might be because I'm playing Pokemon Go. But hey, whatever gets ya moving right? :#

    Thanks everyone! I think I kicked it. Tuesday was rough; I was awake from 1:30-4am that night. Luckily I had gone to bed at 9:30.

    Monday -1.5
    Tuesday - 2 beers at dinner
    Wednesday - one cider and was going to call it a night but the neighbors invited us down so I had 2 more cocktails and a beer. Not too bad.

    Maybe I just needed booze to kick my sickness. :drinker: Tonight we have a soft opening dinner so looking forward to that.
