ACK! It's August already. Hope everyone is doing well. I did ok this week. Managing my diet (and booze) but I definitely could be exercising more. I've got all next week to be good and hopefully drop a pound or 2 before starting vacay. TGIF lushes! :drinker:

Congrats on the 5K Ann! I love the pic you posted with your daughter <3 Gary, I do ice in wine during the summer too. It's refreshing and (in my mind anyway) I drink less that way. No getting down on yourself! If today didn't work out the way I had planned I always tell myself tomorrow will be better. It almost always is :)

Look at my cute grand niece (and husband and son too)! Big family gathering yesterday. I drank champagne :| Did manage to exercise last week. Guilted myself into it after seeing Gary and Ann log so much! 2 weeks until our vacation. I'm going to try to keep it up! Hope all is well with you lushes! :drinker: P.S. Sorry it's…

Hi Robin! So glad you're feeling better. :flowerforyou: Hot as hell here this week so I'm not moving much. Hope everyone is doing well :drinker:

Hope you enjoyed the wine, Gary! I prefer red wine, but if I drink a white it's almost always a Chardonnay from a warm climate because they are less acidic and more of a buttery finish than fruity. I used to love fresh, crisp wines like a Sauvingnon blanc, but in general my stomach can no longer tolerate them (old age…

We're going to revoke your lush card, Ann! You've really done well, I'm impressed. Got lots of steps in and had a great time, but I'm avoiding the scale as I'm sure I'm up. Downtown was crazy with Cubs fans, pre comic-Con and gay pride. We met a lot of interesting people. I forget just how many tourists our city brings in…

Hope everyone is having a good week! I dropped a couple of pounds but I'm sure they will reappear this weekend. We're downtown though so hopefully I'll get in a few steps at least. Cheers lushes!

Today I had an ice cream drumstick for lunch and failed to exercise. We'll call it a do-over :|

So good to hear from you Robin! Hopefully another month of leave will be just what you need. We missed you. :flowerforyou: Well we went from temps in the 70s to over 100 and I've been a complete and total blob. It might be just the thing I need to finally join that pilates studio. Being up 5 lbs and feeling crappy can be…

Heading to Petco park for a baseball game Sat which usually means beer, wine and lots of food. Then we're heading to LA for the 4th next week. I'm thinking all bets are off for a while but maybe I'll at least get in a lot of steps to offset some of it. :drinker:

Hope the reunion went ok, Gary! Families can be exhausting. Ann, you inspire me with your workouts and moderation. I'm still trying to find my groove. Hope everyone else is doing well!

Stuck to 1 margarita, success!! Ready to finish off the week strong, hopefully losing some or all of those 2 pounds I put on.

We won! (because we happened to have a guy who was an Usher fan and could rank 4 of his songs from most recent to least) Yeah...I contributed zip. Other than having 1 1/2 beers. I moderated well!! Dinner out tonight. I plan on 1 margarita.

Everyone is enjoying their summer I guess! Husband's bday is tomorrow. Out to trivia night at the brewery tonight, dinner with friends tomorrow. Trying not to go overboard with food and booze. Enjoy your family reunion Gary! I usually need edibles when I'm around mine :D

Happy weekend everyone! And Happy Father's day, Gary! :flowerforyou:

We posted at the same time, Gary...enjoy your trip!!

You're doing awesome, Ann! I see all your workouts too. Well, I'm up 2 lbs. I think the lack of exercise has finally caught up to me. I've been maintaining my weight without it for a while, but now it's time. Hope Mama Lush is doing ok! Check in when you can, Robin!

Gary, sounds like you're all set for Grandkids in that backyard! Family is never going to leave ;) Ashley, you're having loads of fun, as usual! I'm trying to recover from the crazy last 3 weeks and don't feel like doing a damn thing. I just can't get motivated to move forward with the kitchen remodel so I decided to re-do…

I'm going to do my best to establish a good routine this week!! No vacays planned until July so it's time to crack down and get healthy. Anyone else have summer plans?

OK...here ya go. New thread! https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10671923/like-minded-lushes-summer-2018/p1?new=1

YUM Robin. That might be my perfect meal. Glad you could enjoy it. Have you tried probiotics at all? My stomach/digestive system started acting up and once I took them everyday, it really helped. Up 1.5 lbs. I can't seem to get back on track since vacay. This week is pretty much over, so I'll start fresh next. Speaking of…

Robin, that's a tough way to log 0's and even worse way to spend your bday! I hope you're feeling better and managed to celebrate a bit :flowerforyou: Last day in Laguna beach today. I had one day of excess and woke up feeling horrible. Again reminding myself I can no longer tolerate hard alcohol in more than very small…

^^^Look at Kate and Ann with all those 0's!^^^ Yeah, no 0's for me. I will moderate as I get ready to pack up for Laguna. Have a great week everyone!

Yikes, Gary! How scary! Good to see you back.

Sounds like a great trip, Robin! I think everyone is a lush there, so it would be easy for us to fit in :drinker: Good job on all the 0s everyone! I had 1...does that count? Otherwise I'm back to moderating. I'm down a pound but probably won't log it since we're taking off again next week. Altho I'm *really* planning on…

Katieeeeeee! So good to see you and hear all is ok with you, despite all the crazy mother earth stuff going on in the islands. <3 Gary, have a great trip! I'm seriously recovering from graduation, bday and Mother's Day celebrations. The son left for Cancun today. His party was great but I drank waaaay too much wine and…

Ann, it's not overindulging if you are getting a history lesson while drinking ;) Still moderating here

Hi Ashley, good to see you! I figured you were partying!! :drinker: Planning mode here. Graduation party Friday night. Got the wine going, as usual

And happy derby day to Ashley. I seem to remember she celebrated every year. Husband has the dreaded man-cold so we are pretty quiet here. That's fine since we had our getaway last weekend and have the son's bday and graduation this coming weekend. Then off to Laguna Beach for our annual family trip.

Happy anniversary, Robin!
