Happy Valentine's day lushes!! :flowerforyou: No 0's here either

UGH...take care Ashley. Hope the kiddos get better soon. It's a mofo sick season out there. My son and husband make fun of the wipes I carry around and constantly use when I'm out and about. I'm *this* close to being one of those wacky old ladies who wear a mask out in public. I finally felt better yesterday...like for…

Well, all 0's for me this week. That's a 1st in I don't know how long. I've pretty much replaced wine with ice cream tho, so probably not the best. Hoping to feel better enough this weekend to celebrate our 31st anniversary. That would include wine. :drinker: Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Been feeling like caca so no booze. But no exercise either :/ Probably will just stick with 0's all week. Hope everyone else is having a good week

That's a crowd, Gary! We kept it simple. Both the husband and I were battling sinus issues. Actually had a 0 Saturday and some wine yesterday. Still not feeling all that great today so I'll probably stick with another 0 today. Good news is I'm dropping weight again. We'll see if it sticks. Hope everyone has a great week!

TGIF!! Don't really care about the Super Bowl but we got stuff for the grill. I'll make some salsa and guac and yes, there will be wine for me. :drinker:

Glad you had a good visit, Robin! Gary, the evening munchies are real! I've been following the 12 hour (minimum) fasting rule for quite sometime now, and do my best to not eat after 7pm. I rarely wake up hungry so this has been fairly easy for me. I really think it's helped me drop 5 lbs without changing or moderating…

1/2 price bottles of wine would be a seriously dangerous situation for me!! Enjoy! Today husband got to announce his new job to all the a$$es who have made his life miserable for 2 years. Such satisfaction to leave them behind...we've decided to have a "karma is a b!tch celebration dinner" tonight so I'll be toasting with…

Yay Gary!! Hope there's some of that SS left for me in a few years ;) We may need to revoke Ann's lush card. But there's always someone in the group who will pick up the slack (not naming names :D )

you should be proud, Ann...that's awesome!! You'll see results for sure. I didn't drink much over the weekend, but my diet wasn't all that great. :/ BTW..a birdie told me it was Gary's birthday. Happy birthday to you!! Hope you're celebrating in true lush style!! :drinker:

Have fun Robin!! Way to go, Gary!!! That's awesome. Looking forward to a quiet weekend. Maybe throw in a workout or 2, but other than that it'll be Netflix/my book/wine. TGIF! :drinker:

I've been meaning to look into the Carribean, Ann! Are parts still recovering from the hurricane? I was thinking there might be some good deals out there to entice tourists to come visit. We celebrated the husband's new job last night. I had a beer, champagne and 2 glasses of wine. Moving a bit slow today, but it was a…

Ashley your life is so busy! Hope the flu bug doesn't take over your household...you've got some parties to give!! Had to stop by quick to share some great news. The husband got that new job!!! It's pretty amazing at his age (61) to find anything that fits where they're willing to invest in you. The company overall is…

thanks guys!! I echo everything Mama lush said: Ann, where ya going? We want to live vicariously through you! Dave, good to have you here. Your drinking abstinence is admirable. One I will not be following :p Robin, a new puppy sounds exciting! But I understand the both of you needing time to figure it all out. It cannot…

We buried my MIL's ashes yesterday next to her husband. The day was beautiful. Now that she is laid to rest I feel like I can say goodbye to her and officially close the door on a crappy 2017. Good riddance. You sucked. New start now. The husband is hoping to hear about a new job (same place, different division) Keeping…

Hi justlog...welcome! thanks for the comment...I agree I think your plan of yoga, weights and pilates is a good one. Do you do all 3 in a gym or do you have a home routine? I'm trying to find the best routine for me. By the way I'm Syd...like Robin said there is a name thread for the group here:…

Same. I'm still trying to figure out my best exercise plan. I've come to terms with the fact that in my mid 50s (gasp!), my body needs have changed and I can no longer just pound out cardio and call it a day. I think a Pilates program is actually what's best for me. Figuring out the best way to incorporate that into my…

Ack Ashley! I'm with Robin, I'd be drinking. Got all the Christmas stuff down and the tree to the recycler. Time to start thinking about tackling the kitchen remodel. But first I'd like to see about booking a bday trip in April. It might be time to say Aloha B)

Happy New Year lushes!! :drinker:

I've recovered from my house full on Christmas Eve and am starting to feel better. Just in time to host my annual New Years Eve party...a small bunch of about 10 or so. I'm starting to enjoy all the work we did on the house before the holidays. Quiet day today with a glass of wine and my book. Oh, Winter in San Diego…

Here's the new thread! http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10625526/like-minded-lushes-winter-2018/p1?new=1

I'll start one in the next day or so if Robin doesn't. Hope everyone is enjoying their holiday. I'm still battling this head cold/cough and am over it :|

Merry Christmas to my favorite lushes!

ugh Gary, that's a long time to be stuck in a car when you're expecting 90 minutes. I'm still blowing bodily fluids out of my nose that seems to be endless. (you're all welcome for that) Wine helps :drinker:

*runs into the lush thread and sprays disinfectant* Gary gave me his man-cold :p

The husband has the same break you do, Robin. He's ready. Hopefully he'll come back in 2018 to a new job *fingers crossed* Sounds fun, Ashley! I'm back to my lowest weight again. I'm predicting the weekend will erase that pretty quickly. TGIF lushes! :drinker:

Take care, Gary. :flowerforyou: I'm absolutely shocked I've avoided getting sick. I drank too much wine last night. It was a "may as well finish the bottle" kind of night.

The husband is counting down too, Robin! Hope to get our tree this week. I'm so far behind this year, but I'm just not going to stress about it. The painter brought by a bottle of wine....and his bill. But the wine was nice. :drinker:

Thanks everyone. I used to live in Santa Barbara, so my heart goes out to everyone there who are still battling the fires. We're in the clear down our way for now. Putting a hold on all work on the house until after the holidays. Will spend the week putting things back and getting holiday decorations out. There will be…

Oh, BTW the fire here is north of us. I'm grateful we're safe and SO grateful to all the amazing work the firefighters are doing. Many homes lost as well 12 horses. Very sad.
