@Womona i struggle with the where to put the cross-stitching too. I may just do it and give it away. I like the light houses, but I don’t think I have enough wall space for display. Maybe I can sell it on Etsy. Lol I made Neiman Marcus Chicken Casserole the other night, @itladyee. I thought it was okay, not amazing. But,…

@Womona I don’t know how to crochet though I have tried. I get confused and give up. I do knit though. I was working on a afghan and messed up, so I quit. I might pick it back up again when it gets colder (just so I have something to keep me warm). I was thinking about picking up my cross stitching again too. I was doing a…

@WestCoastGirl_1 i get the same. Multiple friend requests from guys, different names same pics. I just delete the request and forget about it. Scammers/bots are inevitable on every social platform. Until everyone starts deleting and ignoring their requests, they won’t stop. If you want someone to go out of business, you…

I think I’m starting to build my new routine. Instead of wine, a long shower and pjs after dinner. Now, to determine the best use of time after that until bedtime. I want to rotate a few things throughout the week: my Bible study, reading, maybe some crafting. Still need to think it through. Maybe that’s my problem… I…

Quiet Monday at work. I’m sure I’ll be slammed tomorrow. Made an interesting dinner. I liked it, but it doesn’t seem anyone else really did.🤷🏻♀️ Anyway… under calories, walked 2 miles today, picked up a kitchen trash bag of litter, showered, in pjs, and no wine. A-0 AF-13

Drove home in the rain. I hate driving in the rain. I get so stressed out. But, we took my car, and the husband doesn’t know how to operate the lights or wipers. Then, he tries messing with stuff while he’s driving which makes me even more nervous. So, I’m tired now. Stayed within calories today. Still no wine. In…

@WestCoastGirl_1 unfortunately, I have no trouble eating when I drink. It’s stopping myself from eating anything and everything I struggle with. I also haven’t had dry skin issues when drinking or not. I say all that to say I’m absolutely no help to you in this regard. Sorry. Baby shower today out of state. Blew my…

Thanks for the suggestions! May have into give those a try. Work was quiet, got a lot done. Went for a walk, stayed within calories, showered, in pjs, and about to watch The Last Starfighter with the kids. Gotta love an 80s sci-fi movie!😉 A-0 AF-10

A-0 AF-9 Went to bed early last night, and slept ALMOST to my alarm, 2 minutes shy of 8 hours!!🙌 Under my calories today, walked 2-1/4 miles, and just showered and ready to relax. Now is usually my go-to time for wine. I want it right now too. Fighting that little wine devil tonight. Decided after my shower to put on my…

Up at 3:00 to pee, but husband was in the bathroom already. Tried to just go back to sleep, but instead I woke all the way up waiting for him to get out of the bathroom. Sure I could’ve walked all the way to the other side of my house to use the kids’ bathroom, but I was too tired and was really hoping I could get back to…

A-0 AF-7 Weighed this morning, and I wasn’t thrilled but it was better than yesterday. Went for a walk and weighed again after, and it was better again. So, I think it’s water weight screwing me up. Work was ok, but not great. But, now I am sitting in the pedicure chair and relaxing.

Work was rough today. I have a deputy project manager who doesn’t understand our client due dates that we are contractually obligated to meet or exceed!🤦🏻♀️ I submitted our reports 5 minutes late because of him; but they’re submitted. Ordered dinner for my daughter and MIL. Husband and son are eating out because they’ve…

A-0 AF-5 Tomorrow will be a busy day. Thanks, @xbowhunter, for the reminder to not let my Monday ruin my Sunday.

A-0 AF-4 A day of deep cleaning my kitchen burned all the calorie overage from yesterday. What is it with me and over-sharers?? My kids have these friends that are brothers. The boys are good, one has autism and the other is intellectually delayed (not horribly, but has an IEP to help him out). The boys’ parents are also…

UGH! Just wrapped up family movie night with my son’s girlfriend and her family. Have I mentioned I’m not a fan of her mother? She annoys me! Everything is drama with her, and she tells all her business and everyone else’s too. I don’t need to know about all that. Lately, she’s been on a serious “mental health” kick. She’s…

Made a yummy dinner of steak and fried eggplant tonight. I haven’t been able to walk this week, so I’m really keeping tabs on my calories. Work has been a beast due to quarterly reporting time. But, I’m almost done with that then it’s on to the semiannual review prep. Anyway… it so good to see everyone setting themselves…

Sober October? Maybe! I’m not going to make any promises or plans for a second sober month. Like last month, I’m just going to see what happens. My weight loss has been going well, and I want to continue on the path to my never-been-worn wedding dress. So, it’s very possible another sober month is on the horizon. As of…

Way to go, @Michieb125, doing good! I love scrapbooking. I really want to get back to doing it, but time is not on my side. One day I’ll get back at it! Finishing up Sober September today! A-0 AF-30😁

Spending the evening with the grands was nice yesterday. Food was delicious if I say so myself! It’s hard to lose weight when you know you can cook!🤣 But the good news is that I did lose 0.8 lbs. for the week, down 6 lbs for the month, and 13.2 lbs from the start! I’m pretty happy with that! Struggled a little today. It…

Good morning all, Heading to church shortly, but I wanted to drop in. Tomorrow, is weigh-in. I should know by my food diary whether or not it’ll be a good weigh-in, but I am always nervous that the scale won’t reflect a loss when my calories have been under all week. Not drinking has been interesting especially since I…

A-0 AF-26 Clean tomorrow. Need to get my nails done too, but not sure I have time.

A-0 AF-25 The husband had his hernia repair surgery today (all is well). I took a half day off from work to go with him and take care of him. I submitted a time-off request which was approved, I sent an email to all important people this morning to remind them I was off and what time I would be logging off, and I put up an…

Good luck with plan @Michieb125. Measuring/weighing logging food really helps. @chicbuc congrats on your wine free night last night. @xbowhunter I thought your advice to get just nasty drunk was actually pretty good. I haven’t had tequila since I had alcohol poisoning after getting horribly drunk. It was BAD! A-0 AF-24

@globalhiker It’s not been easy. I definitely struggle with the little voice telling me to just enjoy a drink or two. I really appreciate everyone’s support and encouragement. I appreciate you reading my vents/rants too. If I didn’t have a place to vent/rant, I’d probably have a drink. So, thank you!

I’m just trying to kill my fat @$$!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
