Yay Diana!! Getting away from a horrible boss is a life changer. I mean, it's not as good as winning the lottery and telling work to permanently f off...but it's a good thing. I feel ya on the retirement, Robin. If we could swing the health care costs, we'd go for it too. Back from the bday getaway. Had a great time doing…

Thanks guys! And Happy early birthday Ann/fellow Taurus!! Not doing so great on the 0's but I am managing to moderate (so far) I see your workouts and they're inspiring. Altho I have yet to really get off my *kitten*. Getting in some good walks, that's about it. Woke up to flowers and 2 really nice bottles of wine from the…

Hi Diana aka Wolfie! Many members of my family are tequila sippers. Pretty common in Mexican heritage to bring it out after dinner and sit around the table for hours. My problem is I don't sip. :/ Seriously, you'd think at my age I'd have more self control. Speaking of my age...bday this week. Husband informed me of a…

Eeek! I'm willing to wait a bit on the grandchildren, Gary! Happy 420 everyone B)

Overdid it with the wine last night but had a pretty good reason to celebrate.... The son got his 1st official real job offer!! Medical, dental, retirement benefits and everything! He graduates next month, so obviously this is a huge relief. And he'll be working at Alzheimer's San Diego, which is a wonderful organization…

Gary, I feel for you. :/ Robin, that's one way to drop some lbs! Just think how great your teeth will look. Got in our new windows. Next up I need to research kitchen remodels. Blah...I'm not looking forward to that mess. Drinking wine, as usual.

How scary, Ann! Glad your daughter is ok. Plugging away here. Back at my low weight but hoping to reach a new milestone. Went to a party over the weekend and didn't blow it all so maybe I can get on a new roll.... Have a great week lushes!

Sinner here! Happy weekend everyone! :drinker:

Back from the desert. I'm staying away from the scale for a day or 2 before I see what the damage was. Definitely got into the drinks. Vodka and tequila poolside :o The good news was it had been so long since I've had hard alcohol that it only took a drink or 2 to make things fun. So I didn't over do it. I did eat carbs…

Oh Gary :( I understand. Hope your FIL turns it around and heals soon.

Hope you're enjoying your trip, Gary! I must've been jealous because I'm taking off on a last minute trip to Palm Desert. Going to enjoy some warm weather and relax at the spa before the Coachella crowds show up. Need to stop by the store to stock up on wine :drinker:

You guys read about this?? https://www.cnbc.com/2018/03/29/under-armour-stock-falls-after-company-admits-data-breach.html I guess we should change our passwords or something. I dunno, like I told my husband, the only thing they'll see from looking at my account is that I drink too much wine and haven't lost much weight for…

I will say the one time I went to Blacks beach it made me feel better about my body. It was many years ago but the average age was probably about 60 and I remember thinking, boy these people are old. :o Keep us posted on the FIL, Gary. Robin I'm so jealous!! Your smile is going to be awesome :) Started my spring planting.…

All the best for a good surgery, Gary. and NO ONE wants to see me at Blacks Beach. Trust me :D

Oh Gary. I hope your FIL improves and you're able to get away. Where ya headed? I have deserts near me, just sayin ;) Weather is finally warming up here so I'm doing my spring planting/work in the garden. And there's wine.

I hear ya Ann!! Good to see you, Robin. I've been thinking about you, hoping all is ok. Ashley, great job on the 0's!! I can't believe the amount of snow you got! So ready for Spring. It's finally supposed to warm up here and I'm really looking forward to it. Happy weekend everyone!! :drinker:

Doing well managing my calories and I've dropped those 2 lbs I gained. Let's see if I can continue with that and not blow up my progress over the weekend.

new thread is up!! http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10652581/like-minded-lushes-spring-2018/p1?new=1

We've got a break in the rain til Thursday. Hope to get out for some good walks. I feel ya, Ann! Mine's turning 24 and graduating from Grad school. I have been feeling my age lately :/ Hope everyone has a great week!!

Yeah I'm hanging on to those pounds I put on too. Lots of rain and cold weather makes me just want to hibernate.

Good luck on the property hunting, Robin! Drizzling/dreary weekend here and I did zip. Drank more wine than usual. I'm dragging today but am determined to have a successful week. Got in a workout and will be abstaining from all alcohol tonight (and maybe even most of the week!)

I finished the tax returns for my MIL and the trust. We're officially wrapped up on all the financials. One more door closed on a totally ef'ed up 2017. Some sort of celebrating needs to happen but for now it'll probably be just wine. :drinker: TGIF lushes!

Dentist went well. He's dying to pull my wisdom tooth because, well, he's a crazed weirdo who loves to extract teeth just for the hell of it. The tooth is perfectly healthy. So, yeah...he's not getting near it. I had wine

Good luck at the Dr Gary! I hate Dr's...almost as much as dentists...who I'm going to today. :( I was good for 2 days. That's probably my limit so I expect there will be wine tonight.

Up 2 pounds after Vail. I need to pull it together. Have a good week lushes!

wolfie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 <3

Happy March 1st!! Hang tough Robin. Ended up tagging along with the husband to his annual ski trip in Vail. Weather hasn't been bad, warming up to the 30s and 40s. Have managed to moderate fairly well. Home tonight. Hopefully will find my exercise routine soon.

Hi Dave, good to see you! Oh no, Robin! I felt a pit in my stomach just reading about your job. You know all about my husband's similar work situation and it is just so wrong to wake up every morning stressed out before you even walk into your job. It's extremely unhealthy. I'm sending all the positive vibes your way in…

Cold, rainy, and wintery here. Makes me just want to curl up and do nothing. I need to firm up a vacation plan. That'll help motivate me!

No 0's here. Wrapping up my MIL's taxes which has been difficult. The #s tell the story of her illness so it's kind of like reliving it all. :'(
