          Coffee time before Monday Mom time...

          Didn't finish the little box of wine last night, so I feel pretty good.

          I need a plan for when I get in my OCD mode around the house. Any thoughts?

          I was going to push myself again today, but decided nope, time to relax after Mom time. Don't want to repeat yesterday.

          The facial flushes can be caused by drinking, but I can't tell you why--something to look up when I get a chance. Bright red cheeks are aptly called gin blossoms.

          Will weigh myself for Ally's thread. Will tally my ill-used WW points from yesterday. That's what Monday's are for, right?:H

          Mama>Did you get those kids cleaning?

          Make it a good day.:l:l

            Hi, everyone: back from Vegas. All that walking around made me lose 2 pounds! But oh the costs of those buffets! $160 for 2 for a brunch Buffett? Sure, they had crab legs and all kinds of stuff but gosh, who could eat 80 worth of food in the morning?!

            We had fun even though we over spent, lost money gambling...

            Back to no alcohol, sensible eating, exercise and work .

                  So busy here at work today. Came in late because I had to take hubby for his post-op appointment.
                  I'll be back when I get home tonight.

                      Hi Mama, a quiet evening here, eh?

                      Juja, I'm sorry the weekend didn't follow your plan, but it sounds like you are back on it. Did you dump the rest of that box? Doing that can be very empowering. You can also freeze it, and add some to a pot of soup. The freezing process ruins the taste for drinking.

                      I'm happy with my weight, won't be joing the weight loss thread. I'm on the GERD diet: I can't eat enough to gain weight or my stomach acts up. I swim a couple of days per week, walk the dog most days, and work outside every chance I get. When there is enough snow, I can go on snowshoes out through the field behind my back yard. Those clumpy things on my feet provide a great workout, and help me stay warm.

                      Ally, Vegas is the best people-watching place I know. We have been a couple of times. I don't remember the buffets being so expensive, though. They used to be a means of luring in gambling customers.

                      Guess it's getting time to be off to bed.
                      My life is better without alcohol, since 9/1/12. My sobriety tool is the list at permalink 236 on the toolbox thread under monthly abstinance.

                        Sunbeam: how nice not to be overweight! I wish I had Gerd! I was going to skip dinner but didn't. But I'm gonna go do my wii just dance. Yup, dinner cost us $160, so did brunch. We stayed at the bellagio, $360 a night because that night there was some marathon going on, then we lost several hundred gambling. So in one night, we spent well over $1000. You are right about the people watching though!!!! Very interesting people!!

                        Juja: I also didn't do well this past weekend. Also tonight I found it my mom passed away this morning. She lived in Taiwan. I drank a glass of wine. I didn't want more though because it would help me grieve. I do plan to exercise a bit just to keep my mind off. Cried a bit. I didn't have a good relationship w my mom, but still she was my mom. Anyway, gotta go exercise! Still hope you'll join the weight loss thread!

                            Sorry for your loss Ally, I never had a good relationship with my mum, but it's still painful. I'ts 4am here and I am unable to sleep, the joys of arthiritis. Will have to join your weight loss thread Ally, I could do to lose about 10 pounds. Hi Nora.

                              Thank you, Nora and Paula. Sooner or later we all lose our parents. My dad is still alive and now I really worry about him because they had been married forever. *sigh*. Circle of life. We got to really treasure each moment and love our family and friends while we can!

                                Ally>I'm very sorry to hear about your mother. Yes, we aren't guaranteed the mothers we may have wanted, but she was yours, regardless. Strange evening for you, I would imagine.:l

                                Sounds like you had a great time in Vegas. For some reason, I've never wanted to go there, but so many people love it. I must be missing something.

                                I'm on the weigh loss thread now, too.

                                Sunny>I know GERD is miserable, my father suffers terribly.

                                I would like to be active like you, but this damn bursitis in my hip won't abate, and it makes activity difficult. I walked a silly mile yesterday, and paid through the night. I will soldier on, however.

                                Nora>Please give us an update on Mr. Nora.

                                Mama>Whatcha up to?

                                I had a good day today. I attended to my mother, and then took the afternoon for myself. I went shopping, and found two pairs of fat pants. They sort of fit, but then I'm built weird, so pants never look good. Could be worse. Oh, I got a bra, too. Major accomplishment. Harnessing the team while minimizing them is becoming more difficult. What ever happened to my pert, lovely 32 D's?

                                I feel so bad for Kradle. I don't see how you parents get through all you do with your children. You suffer so much anguish and heartbreak over them. I knew I wasn't up to parenthood, so I thwarted the attack of the sperm.

                                Sorry for being so chatty. You can tell I'm happy when I yammer on.

                                Nighters--maybe
