I just had to start a new thread because screw you July...you were kinda crappy! :laugh:
I am at the lowest weight I've been in a while...but it's all very unhealthy. Looking forward to starting a new month and hoping for positive/good things! Cheers lushes! :drinker:0 -

I got 2 0's! And then drank a ton last night at the concert. But it was fun! I may actually have a 0 tonight as a result.....0

Thanks Syd, of course I don't mind if you start the thread. I have been somewhat preoccupied lately.
So Monday as Doug is getting in his truck to send the appeal registered mail, his ex employer calls and the less than pleasant woman he dealt with before tell him that he doesn't need to appeal. "leadership has decided this doesn't warrant an appeal and they understand that things went wrong while he was on leave. Just send us new forms." So apparently the escalating call worked. He already had new forms signed that we were sending with the appeal so he went and faxed them and sent them registered mail. We were cautiously optimistic. This morning the deposit lump sum hit his account. Oh happy day! Big huge rock off my shoulders. I can breathe again. I will be celebrating this weekend.
Good job on the zero's lushes.
Syd take care of yourself. You deserve it.
Gary, I'm with you this month will be good. So far it's not too shabby. :bigsmile:1 -
that's fantastic, Robin!!!!! So happy for you

Another surgery for the MIL on Friday. I basically slept the rest of the weekend.
I know I'm like a broken record...but I really need to start exercising this week.0 -
I ended up with 3 0's last week but hit it hard Wednesday, Friday was so so and Saturday had quite a bit too. Only 2 yesterday. And we actually said no to a beer at the movies yesterday!
Regular Monday 0 and we'll see about the rest of the week.0 -
Zero last night!0
-
No 0's for me but I lost another pound. Proof you can lose weight while drinking wine everyday :drinker:0
-
I had a zero on Monday. Not last night though. Hang in there Syd.0
-
No 0's here. Eric went to happy hour, so I decided to have happy hour at home. I lost 1/2 pound so..... But I have not been sleeping great if I have more than 2 drinks. I think I may try to generally keep it to 2 or less during the week.0
-
I got in the pool yesterday for a much needed swim. Yay!
Going to try to get in another round of exercise today and continue this weekend. TGIF lushes! :drinker:0 -
TGIF. I hope to get some stuff done this weekend. It is supposed to cool down a bit.0

I did OK this weekend. Friday ended up drinking a little more with the neighbors than I intended, but still in bed by midnight. Most nights we get together we make plans to have bloody Marys and breakfast the next morning, but in the 6 years we've lived in our house, we never have. So we finally did that Saturday morning. They hung out a couple hours and I had 2 bloodys and a beer and then went to the farmers market. I took a few hour break from drinking and ended up fine that day. I was kind of proud of myself because i rarely stop drinking once I start. Had a few drinks yesterday over the course of the day. I feel pretty good today.
Monday will be a 0. That's pretty much going to be my standard. I drank last Monday and woke up with a lot of anxiety. My doctor called me also and it's time for my annual physical, so I need to plan on some longish stretch of reduced drinking soon.0 -
I did well this weekend too! Exercised every day and kept track of my calories. Its always a good motivator to work out and eat right so I can have some booze at the end of the day- and not feel guilty about it! As Robin mentioned, we finally got a break from the warm humid weather. Walking is so much more enjoyable!0

Sounds like everyone is plugging along. I'm still in caregiving mode which is super stressful but it is what it is. Trying to get her pain level managed.
No 0's here but moderating at 1 (sometimes 2) glasses of wine a night. Logged another weight loss for the week.0 -
Haven't posted in a while - been super busy but I'm not sure with what...
Sydney - sorry you are so stressed, not fun at all
Robin - so glad to hear things are a smidgen better!
Plugging along here as well, always have really good intentions to get a zero but something (wine) always seems to get in the way!
Did actually get a zero yesterday, the first in a while...
going for another tonight!1
