I just had to start a new thread because screw you July...you were kinda crappy! :laugh: I am at the lowest weight I've been in a while...but it's all very unhealthy. Looking forward to starting a new month and hoping for positive/good things! Cheers lushes! :drinker:

Hope you don't mind Robin. Here's the new thread. http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10583753/like-minded-lushes-august-2017#latest

Hi Kate!

Deep breaths and wine :'(

Got into the vodka Saturday night and paid for it all day yesterday. I really need to stick to wine, I just cannot do hard liquor anymore. We got some help with MIL so let's see if I can get into a good routine this week. Have a great one lushes!

Go get em, Robin!! Adios Comic Con and opening weekend at the horse races...us San Diego peeps love it when you all come here and spend money but the crowds are crazy!! We're off for a mini escape. I've already had a beer and a glass of wine and its only 2:30 :drinker:

Thanks, Gary <3 I'm doing my usual 2 glasses of wine. I can't remember the last time I had a 0 :o The son is on grandma duty Saturday. Husband got tickets months ago to the improv in LA to see Joel McHale (my bf) so we're headed up for the day...got a hotel room. It should be a much needed, nice break. Drinks will be…

Ditto to what Gary said, Robin! It's just so sad to see what corporate culture has diminished to. Employees are just #s, there's no loyalty left :'( We began the process to move the MIL to assisted living. We just can't provide her the round the clock care she needs. She has no idea yet and will not be happy. But her…

Hope you lushes had a good weekend! Still in caretaking mode here. Went through a bottle if wine over the 2 days.

Glad to hear things are better, Robin. Yeah it was 90 degrees, I was tired and cranky so I downed a beer. It was really good. I moved on to wine after that. :p I've lost some weight. Totally stress related and not done in a healthy manner...but oh well. One.Day.At.A.Time

It's 2pm and I just poured myself a beer. Enough said. :/

Kayaking is awesome Gwen! Robin, try to take care of yourself. We put ourselves last when caretaking for other's. I know this too well. I'm going to come up exercise goals for myself to combat stress. I poured a 2nd glass of wine last night but didn't drink it.

I spoke too soon...back in hospital with MIL. She was trying to kill a spider in the bathtub (which she doesn't even use) fell over onto the plunger/drain stop thingie and ripped open her eyeball. Emergency surgery to try to save her eye and vision. She survived surgery fine (my biggest worry) but she's most likely lost…

Saturday I drank a whole bottle of wine over several hours but other than that I've been doing well. Got some good news re: the MIL...her bone and CT scans were clear! So we booked a September vacation but in the meantime time to get back into a good routine and drop some more lbs.

Off to LA. It's a partying crowd and I hope to not go crazy with the drinking...I just can't deal with feeling like crap the next day. Hope everyone has a great 4th! :drinker:

This week is crawling by :s

Moderated well and managed to drop a pound. Going to try to step up my exercise and continue with my good eating in hopes of dropping another pound before we leave to LA for the weekend. Have a good week lushes!

Sounds like a perfect plan, Robin. Enjoy. Good to see you, Bridget! I love the Big Island. I think it'll be the one we go to next. Sticking close to home this weekend. Pool, grilling, a little exercise thrown in there too. Oh and wine :drinker:

The accountant/CPA in me wants to log everything :D But i certainly understand how it wouldn't work for everyone. I tend to be a grazer and it also keeps me in check with portion sizes which used to be a problem for me. I had a 0 last night! We were all just too tired from the brewery bday celebrations to even bother with…

No 0s here but continued success moderating. 2 beers and a glass of wine at the husband's bday celebration. We were at the brewery for over 3 hours so I consider that a win. The husband however, is hurting this morning B) luckily he's "working" from home today. Maybe an early night and a 0 tonight?

Had a good weekend and managed to moderate. Beer tasting yesterday for the husband and I had 0! Did go through about 3/4 of a bottle of wine over several hours. His bday is tomorrow so hitting up a favorite brewery for trivia night with friends. Tonight we're grilling and catching up on Better Call Saul. I'll probably have…

A cabin getaway sounds perfect, Robin. Gwen has the right idea. No zeros but doing well with my food diary and I had a great swim yesterday. Husband's birthday and father's day celebrations this weekend. I'm going to moderate and let him have all the fun. Happy weekend, lushes!

Finally feels like summer in SoCal! B) Off to the pool today...probably will get on the bike too. I'm doing my usual 1-2 glasses of wine.

Oh Robin! :( I'm familiar with your company, as you know and I'm sorry they're treating you so horribly. My husband has a real, similar fear because of his age being so close to retirement. The ba$tards have zero regard or compassion for their employees. I'm sending you all the positive thoughts that things turn around for…

Hang in there, Robin. Good to see you, Kate! TGIF lushes! It's been a pretty good week, I managed to exercise well and keep up a pretty good routine. Maybe even dropped a pound. I'll probably gain that back tonight. Baseball game at Petco Park is always fun, even tho the Padres suck. We're experiencing our typical June…

You're in vacation mode, Ashley. Enjoy :drinker: I'm in exercise mode and my body is in shock :D (it feels good) 1 glass of cab. Probably the same tonight

Meg you've been doing so great, you should be proud! I exercised both Sat and Sun and I'm sore! But hope to keep up the routine this week. I'm moderating on the wine. Looking forward to establishing a good routine again. MIL is back in her apartment and feeling well so my caretaking duties have shifted to myself B)

Back home and it feels good. Over did it 1 night with the wine and I hated the way it made me feel so I only averaged a glass or 2 since. I'm with you, Gary. I need to log my meals and start my workouts again.

Happy birthday Mama Lush!! You all would be proud of the amount of booze I've got packed in our car. Have a great weekend :drinker:

Ok Laguna Beach getaway is a go! Will spend the day today packing and of course a trip to the store to stock up on essentials: beer, wine, vodka. B)
