But I so prefer it to be a glass of red :drinker:

Cheers to a great weekend Lushes!! I toast to you with a cup of green tea, LOL!

I just started this week and I am really enjoying it. I didn't think I would but I now know what was making me feel so ick - processed carbs and sugar.

I am currently on a 30 day Paleo challenge. I am really enjoying how I feel. Granted, it is only day 5 but I feel really good. Wide awake, coherent, no afternoon crashes. Once the challenge is over, I will probably continue but allow myself a very small treat here and there, maybe 90% Paleo. I never thought I could do it…

Happy New Year Lushes!!! I have not been able to follow my topics due to taking care of my boyfriend's business while he was down and out from surgery. I am back. :bigsmile: However, at my Crossfit gym we are doing a 30 day Paleo challenge so no alcohol in my sights until February. I shall live vicariously through you!!…

Yes, not until January so my wine is tasting oh so good!

Whoa, what a week! What was planned to be a drink free week except Thursday (DBF birthday) turned into a party! Unfortunately, I think this will be the case next week as well. I have to get it out of my system, right?:bigsmile: DBF is having hernia surgery Monday after Christmas and he won't be drinking which in turn…

Usually, greek yogurt gives me an extra protein boost. After my workouts, I have a scoop of Optimum Nutrition with 8 oz of water.

Well this week has not been drink free as I had wanted. I think the problem was when I have an open bottle of wine, I will drink it until it is gone. Well all wine is now out of the house. :happy: This weekend my DBF and I are off to see Roger Waters The Wall. Really looking forward to that. We will be celebrating DBF…

Hi Lushes! It has been awhile since I posted. Totally partaking in my lushness, so too busy to post :tongue: I have been naughty since Thanksgiving. I really hope tonight is a zero drink night... Hope you are doing well!

Yesterday did not go as planned. I came home to DBF handing me a mug of hot cider and rum. Gosh, it was so good especially after sitting in traffic for an hour on my way home from work. Monday = 0 Tuesday = 1 Wednesday = ??

Monday = 0 drinks Tuesday = I really want to have 0 drinks :laugh:

If you have a Trader Joe's near you, their Spiced Cider is delish. We warm the cider then pour in some Capt Morgan's or Sailor Jerry's let it warm again, then enjoy! It is sooo good and sooo high in calories :drinker:

Last week was a doozy for me... lots of wine, lots of cosmos, and lots of cider with spiced rum. This week back to no alcohol except for Sat night. I am going to try to stick to this schedule for December. Have a great week Lushes!

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I didn't gain or lose which I am happy about. I ate well last week but did have a few too many drinks. It was when I got home, I got the munchies. LOL! Back to the grind yesterday. Went to my first workout in a week which felt great but was also pretty exhausting. Today I woke up…

This has been a good week for me. So far I have gotten 4 out of 5 workouts in, 5 is tomorrow morning. I have been kicking *kitten* with my calories (or at least I think I am :tongue: ). I have been adding "quick calories" so that I think I am right at my limit for the day but it ends up I am under by half of my exercise…

I have been taking part in Crossfit since February, now I go 5x per week. I absolutely LOVE it and feel stronger and more confident than ever. If you saw me on the street you probably would be shocked at what I can accomplish. A year ago I did Murph in 60+ minutes, this past October I improved to 50 minutes! I was sooooo…

I think I will need some new clothes!

yvonne - sorry to hear about your colleague. That is really scary. I wish the best for her/him and their family. Robin - good luck to you tomorrow! Stay strong lushes!!! It is almost the weekend.

Today marks 3 weeks down, 1 week to go until my no alcohol challenge is over. I have days where I totally miss my daily glass or two of wine and days where I don't even think about it. All I know is I can't wait to have a glass of wine at Happy Hour with my family next week! Have a great week all!

I made it public so I would be more accountable. I am probably 95% honest on my diary. I sometimes forget to add things because I close out my diary the next day.

10 days to go and I will be drink free for 4 weeks. I can't believe it. But maybe I shouldn't speak too soon, LOL!! I will be probably get drunk off a glass of wine over Thanksgiving. You heard it here first, I am NOT taking December off because of all the holiday festivities!! But I will definitely not go back to a glass…

whole wheat orowheat thin, 1 tbsp natural peanut butter, 1 tbsp Trader Joe's reduced sugar raspberry preserves

Is it Thanksgiving week, yet? I sure could use a glass of wine, lol!!! Hope you are well! Cheers!

Monday and Tuesday were good, Wednesday not so good... Looking forward to my workout today, hopefully it will be a calorie scorcher!!! One more day til the weekend! I certainly can't wait :-)

I am a non-mom but have lots of furry kids! I would love to join in!

Cold turkey. I had only been smoking 2-4 cigarettes a day by then, my highest was a pack a day. I had started working out regularly and was having trouble breathing while doing cardio (plus I a lot heavier). I woke up one morning (Oct 31, 2004) and said "enough, I am done." I haven't looked back since. I went through…

I haven't checked in in awhile. I am now on week 3 of my no alcohol til Thanksgiving week. I can't believe I have made it this long. I have had many moment where I almost caved for a glass of wine. But I told myself I would have to start the 4 week challenge over which meant no drinks with my family for Thanksgiving. I…

I realize you are all two weeks into this challenge but can I join?? Great progress so far!!! My starting weight is 200.8.

Congrats!!! You are amazing and you look amazing too!!
