    As most of you are-- I am plugging along. I finally got the 2 lbs off that I had gained over the past couple weeks. I hope to keep this up, but you know how it goes. Trying to moderate as well and am having some success. Hang in there fellow lushes!

    Aloha!!! I am, also, plugging along!! Some days are zeros and some are a moderate and some are lushy!!!! And some days I exercise and some days I don't...gotta break the bad cycle!!!

    Monday-0
    Tuesday-0
    Wednesday-0

    Tomorrow I will most likely have some drinks. We are going camping for two days after work on Friday, so I need to do all my packing and food prep tomorrow.
    Otherwise, not much going on. Life is good. We are leaving for the East Coast in 2 1/2 weeks, so I am kind of focused on getting my kitten sitters lined up and not losing my mind thinking about the flights :laugh:

    Have a great day!

    I am plugging along like the rest of you. Doug is in Alaska this week so taking care of the dogs by myself is a bit more work than I realized. Especially with Bodi not walking anymore at all. Things are starting to settle down and I am hoping for some normal in the near future.

    Same here. I had a 0 Monday, a few Tuesday (maybe one too many....) and only 1 yesterday. Kindergarten went well for my daughter! She was a little intimidated by the cafeteria, but today walked in like she owned the place. :)

    That's so sweet Ashley!
    Is it weird that I'm actually looking forward to staying home today to do laundry? It sounds like quiet heaven to me at the moment.

    Did ok Friday with 4. Saturday I did a keg stand. Which means there was a lot before that. I had a bloody Mary at brunch and half a cider before bedtime. My usual 0 tonight. We'll see about the rest of the week.

    Same ol here. I think we might have a good routine in place for MIL that might relieve some stress. *fingers crossed*

    Moderated last night so felt good this AM. We had 93% totality for the eclipse. We used a colander to project it onto a piece of paper. It worked great!

    fingers are crossed for you Syd. Starting to find a rhythm back to normalcy. Well, our new normal any way. I hope to start the exercise thing soon.

    Will have zeros to one or two the rest of the week. Blood work on Monday. After which I would like to continue racking up as many zeros as I can!

    Yay for normalcy, Robin!
    I need to get into the Dr for a physical/blood work too. It's so easy to neglect our own health when caregiving for another. I did manage to schedule my annual boob smoosh.
    In the meantime, I'm drinking wine :drinker:

    I actually had 2 0's this week! AND....I slept like crap both nights. I've been busy at work and I wake up panicky thinking about all the stuff i need to get done and can't shut my brain off. I had 5 drinks over 6 hours yesterday and only woke up once. So the moral of the story is, I should drink. :) Which I will do tonight. Eric is doing one of his fantasy drafts, so I think I may walk the kids up to grab fast and easy food (that hopefully have drinks) and ice cream. The weather is amazing here: low 80s and almost no humidity. It was 63 when I left the house. Almost grabbed a jacket.

    I did pretty good this weekend. Had 4 Friday and pretty much drank all day at the fair and zombie walk after but went to bed at a reasonable time and felt fine yesterday. Got a lot done over the weekend and enjoyed lovely weather.

    I'll have my usual Monday 0 and that'll probably be it. We have 2 baseball games and a concert this week. And I'm taking off Friday.

    Did well last week with either a zero or a one per night. Bloodwork this AM but I would like to continue the moderation. Have a great week!
