Thanks, Ann! Day 2 today and so far it's been fine.

Everyone survive Turkey day? All good here but I'm thinking about cutting out booze this week. It's been a while since I've logged several days in a row without my wine. Let's see how it goes :D

Robin, sometimes the best self care is to do nothing. It's ok ;) Spent the weekend looking at condos with my son. How am I old enough to have a kid that prequalified for a freaking mortgage? :o It's interesting watching him go through it all. You don't get much for your money here in SoCal. Spending hundreds of thousands…

No fires here, thankfully...but super windy and dry. We desperately need rain! Hanging in there. Finally a quiet week. My brother does Thanksgiving (yay!) so next week is easy too. I'm actually getting a little excited about Xmas this year. Last year was a mess so I'm ready to decorate and go all out. How's everyone doing?…

I think my husband is the only one who gets excited about jury duty. He hates his job so much that he'd rather sit and listen to a bunch of lawyers all day. He got on a case that may last a couple of weeks and he's thrilled :D I stepped on the scale and am about where I was before I packed on those 3-5 lbs. Trying to get…

Wrapped up the week at another family gathering...bday for my SIL. Next weekend is my grand niece's 1st bday party then...Thanksgiving is only 2 weeks away? Good grief the year is over almost :s I'm drinking wine as usual :drinker:

Happy Halloween lushes. Out of town family is gone. I'm exhausted :p

Surviving family visit! Way too much wine last night. Taking them to the beach tomorrow before they head back to Arkansas. :drinker:

Fingers crossed, Robin!!! Where in Maui are you going? OMG I love it there. We're probably going to do French Polynesia (Bora Bora?) next year, but haven't confirmed anything. I'm tempted to just go back to Hawaii. Well I'm officially up almost 5 pounds. I'm hoping some is the sodium from the chinese food I had...but it's…

Glad to hear you're feeling better, Robin. It's gorgeous here too...but windy and it's our fire season so everyone is on alert. Gary, if your FIL isn't complaining about the food, that's an amazing sign! I find once they totally give up, they stop eating. Ann, you rock!! I may have gained a pound or 2 back last weekend.…

Good for you, Ann! I always admire people who do that. I'll keep your lush card warm for you. I've dropped 2 pounds already. For me, intermittent fasting reallllly works. I was never much of a breakfast eater anyway so I never really feel deprived. I pretty much eat anything I want between 11am and 7pm. When I want to drop…

Nope. She didn't come. She doesn't like us very much. I can't imagine why. I'm a fcuking pleasant person :p Hang in there Robin! Gary...I'm sure you know all this but patients in nursing homes are notoriously dehydrated...which presents itself as dementia-like. Just thought I'd mention it. UTI's are common as well. I'm so…

No girlfriend :)

Hi all! Back from our trip. 3 pounds up as usual. I will get back to some sort of routine tomorrow. It was a great vacation. The 1st 4 days our son and my cousin and her husband joined us. Then we wrapped up the week with some much needed alone time. I only over did it on the drinks 1 night. But I probably ate more carbs…

Missed you Gary! I'm doing you lushes proud. Oy :drinker:

5 years? Impossible, she was just born a minute ago! Been real good and dropped another pound. So I have some wiggle room next week to enjoy vacay. Packing up today! Hey Mama Lush, wanna start a fall thread?

Def Leppard, Journey and Cheap Trick concert last night :o (the husband owes me big time!) Didn't drink too much...partly because I wasn't interested in having to stand in line for over 30 min just to pee :D My ears are still ringing but overall I'm feeling pretty good today. Taking off Friday for a week in the desert B)…

It was like a crime scene! :scream:

I needed to vent and I knew I could come here about this.... I bought a 6 pack of wine...you know..it's cheaper and was a good deal. the carrier thingy that they gave me collapsed as I was bringing it into my kitchen and 2 bottles broke. (Could have been worse I guess). One was red wine tho...and it went under this huge…

Sounds so nice, Ann! Any place near water is always a plus for me...throw in a beer fest and it sounds pretty perfect! I've managed to drop those 3 pounds I gained last month while on vacay. Maybe I can continue with it for the next 2 weeks until we leave again for another week...where I'm sure I'll promptly gain it back.

How fun!! Enjoy, Gary. I'm impressed you're so active on your vacays! I'm a blob usually B)

Yay. Enjoy Gary! Robin, hope the interview went well. My husband ran into the woman who replaced him in his job from hell he left...he said she looked like sh!!it, bags under her eyes and she almost started crying. Toxic bosses and jobs suck!!! Real fall like weather all week but we're heating up this weekend. Yay...not…

Yay...good luck, Robin! Can't believe it's September. I'm always a little depressed when summer ends, but I'm hoping to start off the month strong (ignoring this past weekend where I ate and drank too much!) Hope you're all doing well!

Hi Ann! I've seen Kate post a couple of workouts the last day or 2...so it looks like all might be ok. Does anyone here meditate? I'm into my 2nd week and it's interesting. Maybe if I get good I'll cut down on the wine :D :drinker:

I'm still working on my vacation weight gain :| Hope everyone else is hanging in there!

OMG Gary! How scary! So glad he's back home

Thinking about you Katie as hurricane Lane approaches!

Back from a great vacay! Up 3 lbs. Time to get back to work

Hope Doug's shoulder surgery goes well, Robin! I'm sure you all remember how much I b!tched about my shoulder. Not fun. Thanks, Gary! It's been in the 90s for about a week and I'm ready to cool off at the beach. Been pretty good and dropped a pound which I'm sure will come right back. But I do plan on lots of morning and…
