Hope you lushes had a good weekend!
Still in caretaking mode here. Went through a bottle if wine over the 2 days.0 -
I did pretty well Friday night. Saturday would have been ok, but the neighbor came over and we were up till 1 drinking. Our music fest was Sunday. It was a lot of fun. I drank a lot of beer. Yesterday we took the day off. Had a mimosa at brunch and then 4 beers after the pool. Ended with 2 ciders but napped on and off between about 8 and finally fell asleep around 10:30. I needed the sleep! I wish I could say I'll be getting some 0's, but I have dinner with a friend tonight, my friend is coming to watch my kids tomorrow since I have a meeting (we usually drink), and I have my work golf scramble Friday. Maybe Thursday if I blow off happy hour.....0

I really just can't handle one more thing. Now the company is saying they didn't receive some documents of Doug's and are denying his layoff benefit. They are trying to screw him out of 26 weeks of pay. 30 plus years of service and a huge fu. I have been tipped off the edge.0

Robin, what a bunch of crap. Hang in there, find an advocate for Doug- lawyer up if you have to!0

Robin, that is awful! I'm so sorry you're going through this stress! Hang in there. Sending good vibes your way.0

Monday = 1
Tuesday = 0
Going for another zero tonight as we're planning on taking the kayaks out on the lake to watch the sunset. Trying to keep busy in the evenings -- it's easier to replace the wine when there's things going on.0 -
Ditto to what Gary said, Robin! It's just so sad to see what corporate culture has diminished to. Employees are just #s, there's no loyalty left
We began the process to move the MIL to assisted living. We just can't provide her the round the clock care she needs. She has no idea yet and will not be happy. But her dementia and physical ailments necessitate supervision. The evaluation/paperwork and move will take some time. It's the right thing to do, I know that...but I am dreading it all.
Bad day yesterday, the husband and I downed 2 beers (him) and wine (me) and pretty much crashed.0 -
It has got to be hard on all of you Syd. Wishing you all the best!

Thanks, Gary
I'm doing my usual 2 glasses of wine. I can't remember the last time I had a 0
The son is on grandma duty Saturday. Husband got tickets months ago to the improv in LA to see Joel McHale (my bf) so we're headed up for the day...got a hotel room. It should be a much needed, nice break. Drinks will be consumed :drinker:0 -
I've been lushing along.... Not sure if I'll earn a 0 tonight or not. I'm not going to happy hour, so there's a slight chance.....0

Last night was a zero so that made two out of four. Not half bad. I've been eating well, counting calories, drinking less, kayaking twice a week and the scale isn't moving. THIS is what frustrates me.
It's Friday so there will be wine. Happy weekend all!

I went to happy hour. Then Eric and I drank some wine. I'm leaving at 3 to play golf. Maybe next week will be my week....maybe.... (broken record)0

I have not given into the dark side yet. We are going thru the appeal process and if that doesn't work we will let the news stations know about it and get a lawyer. Meanwhile on to plan b. Doug liquidated his Boeing stock so we could continue paying bills and he applied for unemployment. It just is really S*itty that we have to deal with this. I have been consuming a lot. Not gonna sugar coat it.
Syd I hope you have fun. You need a smile too. I feel your pain. I never had to deal with any of that with my parents and I thank the goddess for that. My grandfather had Alzheimer's so I have been through it in the past. Just keep on keepin' on.

Go get em, Robin!!
Adios Comic Con and opening weekend at the horse races...us San Diego peeps love it when you all come here and spend money but the crowds are crazy!! We're off for a mini escape. I've already had a beer and a glass of wine and its only 2:30 :drinker:0 -
Got into the vodka Saturday night and paid for it all day yesterday. I really need to stick to wine, I just cannot do hard liquor anymore.
We got some help with MIL so let's see if I can get into a good routine this week.
Have a great one lushes!0 -
I was pretty lushy. Drank a fair amount on the golf course, but it was domestic light beer, and I can pretty much drink that all day. I had a little wine at home and went to bed pretty early. Saturday I had my friend's 4 year old and my other friend and her 3 year old came over. That actually makes less work for us parents because the kids play together, so we drank a couple shandies. We went to a party next door after and had some adult snow cones and then friends and their daughter came for dinner. Daphne had her first sleepover! They had so much fun. I drank a little too much wine and not enough water and was feeling a little rough yesterday so had one sour. I'm trying for a stretch of a few days this week. Maybe even till Friday, but if I'm being honest, at best I'll probably make it to Thursday, likely only till Wednesday. We're going to a friend of a friend Wednesday to look at his yard (we're going to design it) and that sounds like something that will likely involve a drink or two. We'll see.0

Plowing along. we have started writing our response for the appeal. I have been enjoying wine and Best Damn Vanilla crème or Henry's hard grape soda. it's light but full of calories. Frankly, Scarlett I don't give a damn right now. That will have to change. but all in good time.

Robin that is crazy, I am so sorry. What a load of crap.
Lushing away here. Yesterday was my first zero in O don't know how long. Going to attempt 3 more at least...0 -
Syd, glad you got help with your MIL. Care giving is exhausting!
Robin, hoping all goes well with the appeal.
Ashley- good job one the zero!
As for me, I am going for a zero tonight!0 -
Oh- meggers- good job on the zero as well!0

As for my zero last night. Not even close. :drinker:0

Deep breaths and wine 0

Hugs Syd.
I had 2 drinks Tuesday and 5 last night at the waterfront concert. We kept our kids up way late. They were having a blast dancing and running. I'm sort of in summer mode and packing as much as we can. My daughter starts kindergarten in 3 weeks and it will just be Langston and me on my days off so I'm trying to soak as much in as possible.

Tried to get in some zeros this week but it was not to be... where do I pick up a package of willpower???
Mon = 1
Tues = 2
Wed = 1 1/2
Thurs = date night and there will be alcohol involved
Here's my dilemma, and maybe some of you can relate. After a long day of work, my husband and I enjoy sitting on our screen porch (we live in a mountain cabin) and relaxing with a cocktail or a glass of wine. Trying to lose 15 pounds, without giving up alcohol, is, I would say, next to impossible. And now, because I'm trying to have zero during the week, I beat myself up when I don't! It's all so UN-enjoyable.. the guilt.. the talking about it. I never had any issues with weight until I had my hysterectomy a few years ago and now, it's all I think about. I am fairly active, but not athletic -- I kayak and do yoga about 4 times a week. How does everyone stay motivated? Life is short and I hate denying myself simple pleasures like date night with my husband or watching sunset on the porch with a glass of red wine in hand.1 -
Well stated Gwenm. Exactly the struggle I face. Not sure what the balance is but we keep on trying!

Ditto. I've been trying to lose 5-10 pounds pretty much my entire life. I struggle with the same thing. At times I am all gung ho and disciplined and then I drink a glass of wine and it goes out the window. There is a balance there somewhere.

ALOHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've missed you guys so much! Work has been crazy busy and I've been having issues with my work computer and haven't been able to access my lushy thread!!!!!
I haven't checked in almost a month. I've had some highs and lows with exercising and drinking. I have been getting some yoga in but my walks have been non-existent. I haven't done too bad with drinking???
Monday-0
Tuesday-0
Wednesday-dinner with some ladies form work...2 beers and 1 manhattan at home
Thursday-should totally do yoga and behave BUT maybe some burgers and bourbon out???
Have an awesome day xo0
