Big fat ZERO last night AND I put in an hour of cardio @ the Y! YAY!! Tonight, hubby & I are going to our fave brewery & then finally going to see Catching Fire! Super excited!! So, probably will have at least 3-4 beers...:drinker: Tomorrow night KSU is playing in the BWW Bowl, so I know that beers will be had! But, I plan…

Hey Lushes!! Can you believe Christmas 2013 is already over?? And that this time next week it will be 2014?!?! I certainly can't! I drank way too much Friday-Tuesday... Wednesday - 0 Thursday - 0 Friday - most likely alcohol...and Saturday is KSU playing in the BWW Bowl...so lots of beers will be had! :)

Friday night, drank at our favorite brewery in Manhattan, KS & then drank more beers later in the evening... Saturday night - probably about 4-5 beers... Sunday night - 1 glass of wine... Hoping that I get off work early today (like 3ish) and then I'm going to the gym, picking up needed items at the grocery store & getting…

Amy, the SOA finale was INSANE!! I cannot believe everything that happened!!! It was an intense episode.

Kate, 4 0's?! That is awesome! You go girl!! Work is better today (finally!), and tomorrow is my 1/2 day, so I couldn't be more excited & happy! Monday - 3 KC Pils (Boulevard) Tuesday - 0 Wednesday - 0 Thursday - probably at least 1 or 2. Going out to dinner with my girlfriend tonight for a girl's night out! Just what I…

Hello Lushes!! This is the first time all week I've even had a chance to check the thread! Work is driving me INSANE! So, so busy & I'll be lucky if I don't snap before noon on Friday!! Monday - 3 KC Pils (Boulevard)...I had a terrible day. Work sucked. Went to donate blood, and the woman hit my vein so it caused me to…

Oh Mama Lush...I wish I could tell you I'm sorry the Broncos lost, but I just can't! I'm a KC Chiefs girl all the way! Forever & always!! :happy: Hope everyone is having a wonderful Friday! I am feeling soooo much better compared to how I felt yesterday afternoon at this time! I really think that (4) Blue Moons I had last…

Thanks, Ram! I am actually feeling a lot better! I'm not sure if it is the ibprofen, sudefed, emergen-c OR the 3 blue moons I've had. LOL. But seriously, I think that drinking the blue moons have aided in my feeling better....however, that might change by morning. However, I'm of the thought that alcohol helps kill germs,…

Well lushes, it looks like the little flu bug that my hubby had on Monday has decided to try to kick my butt today! But I'm loaded up on meds & Emergen-C packets....so I'm bound to kick its butt tonight before it kicks mine!! I will not have my weekend ruined with a sickness!!!! Keep your fingers crossed I bet it tonight!…

LOL, I also had a drink at the show I went to. It was Crown Royal, orange juice, sprite & red wine. I only had one drink because it took me the entire show to finish it! So I had TWO drinks last night :laugh:

Kate, I skipped the gym last night AND drank! LOL. But that is okay. I plan on hitting the Y after work for a long workout! I went out to dinner last night & had such a good meal! I had 1 beer, my meal (pulled pork slider & sweet potato fries) and a side salad that had dried cranberries, walnuts and goat cheese in…

Monday - 0 Tuesday - 3 Blue Moons (YUM!) Wednesday - it'll either be 0 or 2-3. Going to dinner and a comedy Christmas show this evening, so we'll see what kind of mood I'm in after work. I actually made it to the gym last night, even though I just wanted to go straight home! YAY! Tonight, I'm going to try to get a super…

Ram..I really hate when I've have a crappy day and go to the gym (despite not wanting to) to blow off steam...and just get more pissed off!! I can totally related to that!! There have been nights that I've driven all the way to the gym, couldn't find a parking spot ANYWHERE...and just go home cause I'm so pissed off by…

Oh Sydney...33 degrees? It was 9 here. LOL. But yes, I am a Kansas girl & used it to! Last night ended up being 0. I went grocery shopping after work (and they were out of stock on so many things!), so I was upset. I stopped at Chipotle on my way home since I didn't want to cook, and then I ended up going to bed super…

Hey Lushes! Sounds like most of you had pretty great & lushy weekends! :drinker: My weekend was pretty good... Friday night - dinner with hubby & a bottle of wine & a few beers; Saturday - went to hubby's friend's surprise party in Manhattan...which was quite possibly the WORST party I've even been too. The wife (who I do…

Ryzeman - that is hilarious! I love that movie. It was a favorite in our house when I was growing up & my husband loves that movie as well. It is a classic! I got my husband to go on TWO walks with me this summer/fall. We had a good time (at least I did). Hopefully he'll walk more with me in the spring, that would be so…

Better, I do need to buy a new pair of shoes. I have a pair of Brooks that I bought almost 2 years ago, so they are in need of being replaced. I wear them for running/walking and my workouts. They are soooooo comfortable!!! I will be buying a new pair with my Christmas money :) It is very important to have comfortable…

Kat, your Christmas decorations are beautiful!! I wish I was like that, my house is bare. I'm not even sure I'll be putting up a tree this year. We are out of town every single weekend, and it's just me & my cat at home in the evenings during the week, so I don't know if I even want to go through the hassle. I'm not the…

Kim, I usually walk at a 4.2 - 4.3 pace (I am a fast walker by nature). So, during my intervals I've been bumping it up to 6.0-6.3 to run for 2-3 minutes. So, I kind of do a little interval training. I find it kind of helps break the boringness of the treadmill. LOL. I do need to focus on endurance though because if I…

Kim, now that you put it like that, I fully agree with that. I guess I just never really thought about that. Maybe I'll give that a try tonight and see how long I can run for. My friend always wants to meet me at the Y and workout with me, and I feel horrible cause I am someone who needs music & to zone out when I workout…

Barbara, at least you take the stairs! I work on the 3rd floor of my building & I do not take them. I only do if there is a creeper getting on the elevator with me, and then I almost die by the time I get into the office. LOL. Plus I have a habit of falling down the stairs so people completely understand why I avoid stairs…

Kim, a 5k at 45 minutes is still great! That is more than you would've done if you were sitting on the couch!! :) I'm trying to get into running. I'm doing C25K. Can't say that I am a "fan" of running, but I'm slowly getting better at it....without nearly dying by the end of it! I made it to the Y tonight even after nearly…

Sydney, way to go working out instead of doing what you felt like! LOL. I did just sat on my *kitten* instead of working out...BUT I am going to go to the gym tonight!! I'm determined to at least maintain my weight through the holidays since weight loss isn't happening.

Hey Kate! Glad you had a great 4 day weekend!! It is sure tough getting back into the swing of things! I LOVE 4 day weekends, but hate them at the same time. I'm always soooo tired coming back to work. LOL. I had 0 last night. And 0's until Friday night. I'm really starting to get upset because I've really been more…

Mama Lush, thanks for starting the new December thread...and I cannot believe I'm writing DECEMBER! Seriously?! I'm in total shock at how fast the months have seemed to fly by! I better get Christmas shopping.....:laugh: Kat, Happy Birthday tomorrow! How fun! Ryzeman, I'm used to crazy weather here in Kansas. Today we were…

It is finally Wednesday! So happy for a 4 day weekend!! I need to workout tonight, but my body is hurting from hot yoga the other night. Wowee. But it's a good burn. LOL. Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!! Drink lots and enjoy wonderful food!! :)

Ram, I used to go ALL OF THE TIME, and then just quit. Last night I just remembered how much I love it & I cannot wait to go to more classes. I was very proud of myself cause I was able to do some of the things that I wasn't last time I went to a yoga class! So, YAY! I hope that you start feeling better & get to enjoy some…

Went to hot yoga for the first time in the LONG time last night! I forgot how much I enjoy it & feel so great afterwards...not to mention I slept like a baby! The yoga studio posted on their site today that for Black Friday you could buy 5 classes & get 2 free for $50, so I did it! Now I have 7 classes I can go to! Pretty…

Tonight & tomorrow I plan on having all 0's...but since I don't have work on Thursday, I think I may pick up some wine or some beers after the gym Wednesday night!! Thursday my hubs & I are eating dinner at my Dad's and then we're going to my husband's hometown afterward (which is 2.5 hours away)...so we'll get there about…

Wow, Kate...what a wonderful weekend you had!! Awesome! My weekend wasn't too exciting, but it was still fun. Friday night hubby & I went to BWW for dinner...then came home and had some beers & chilled on the couch. Then on Saturday, I made the cornbread that Kate told me about, it was DELICIOUS! I added some chili powder…
