    ODAT - Wednesday

    It's officially HUMP day - so let's get over it ODAT.

    Keeping it brief cos I do rather go on sometimes.... :H

    Just to say have a great day everyone, I know it's a tough time for some but others are doing well. That's part of the mix. All we have to do is get through today.

    Good Morning Bessie and a great day to all that follow. I wish everyone a great day and hope we can all reach our goal ODAT.
    7:00 a.m. here in the Northeast and I'm heading out to do some volunteer garden work. Looks like it's going to be a scortcher today!!

        Bula! (Fijian)

        Hello Bessie - I think we all love it when you go on...

        Greenhouse, do you have one of those gel neck wraps to help keep you cool?

        One 2, Eat a few almonds or something when you juice so you have a little protien to balance the carb load of a glass of juice. There is a good book call Juicing for Life that discusses combos for different conditions, etc.

        Rippy, Play on! Keeps us young!

        Another spousal ODAT day. Never came home, no phone call. Mercy, he could drive one to drink. But not THIS one! Last night in a dream, I was in a car in a crowded festival. I was looking for hubby. I made the people stop the car so I could go into a liquor store (as they tried to talk me out of it but I shook them off) and I went straight for the vodka. An employee was showing me the sizes and I had a big bottle in my hand. I gave it back to her saying, "I'm sorry, I don't drink." WAY cool dream, don't you think?

        Yesterday I went to the coast to the dentist and then to visit a friend at the beach who was at a family gathering for the week. Sat in the sun with my toes in the sand. Nobody there drank. No beer cans, booze bottles, nothing. I knew all about the family and vice versa but we had never met. No worry about booze on my breath. (I love that part) Three of us went to dinner and had water. I had a lovely mahi-mahi and new potatoes and fresh juicy greenbeans (how fittting :H)

        Good luck everyone, may reaching your goal become easier and easier until it is no longer a goal, it is the life you live.

            love it

            Greeneyes, love the dream!! So when you go to Lenair, you definitely lose the desire, that is inspiring! I usually have dreams that I drank an entire bottle of rum or vodka and wake up feeling soooooooooo guilty and bad, then realize it was only a dream, so that is different, to wake up feeling proud that I said " I don't drink", that would be amazing!!!

            Haven't been here for a while, only been checking in on 30 days thread due to no time, and I like everyone there, so it is nice.................

            Missed you all, good to see you!!:l:h:l

              Good morning all

              Great dream Green, and sounds like you had a great day. I have been dying to go to the beach. I have not done anything really fun this summer, but it is not over yet and I now have the freedom to drive anywhere without worrying about booze. Before I wouldn't go anywhere because I would be drinking and wouldn't drive. I was so limited. Today is Day 12 and I feel pretty good. My gastrointestinal system still seems to be adjusting I guess, because I am still having problems in that area. Getting ready for the Big Heat Wave in the Northeastern US. I have to go get the AC in my car fixed. I finally have some work. I will be working all weekend and I cannot fathom getting into my car in that heat. I wish everyone a Great day and best wishes with your goals for the day.

                Great dream Green - very cool! I had a dream last night about being at a big party on a boat with my family and kids there having a great time...drinking club soda and we were all laughing and dancing and chanting "No Wine! No Wine!" Don't remember the rest but it had something to do with a hamburger patty and a pair of sequined shoes....oh hell, day 3 AF and I am starting those bizarre dreams...lol. Anyway, I feel great and am more motivated than ever.

                Hope everyone has a wonderful day and I, too, am glad I found you guys!

                  Hi all ODAT'rs

                  Bessie ramble on, its the highlight of the day reading your stories. Loved the dream Green, way to go. Are you trying to gain 10lbs One2?? Pity I could not let you have the 10 I gained on vacation, you would be more than welcome!!

                  Have had a few nice long walks trying to loose said 10lbs since I got back. Busy once again with laundry and trying to catch up. Have a great day everyone.

                    Don't have time to reply to all, but had to :H at One2many's Hump day comment! Sounds like my hubby!! And Sea--hello to a fellow Libra!!

                    Still chasing water twice daily--no exciting creatures today--did see a deer run across the bean field yesterday. We have plenty of wildlife--raccoons, porcupines, rabbits, possums--oh yea, did run across a big bull snake in my yard yesterday! They are good snakes--keep bad snakes away!

                    Took the boys to the lake for a little bit yesterday. They swam and I tried to even out my tan/burn from the 4th. Not much of a sun worshiper anymore--but like a decent tan on my legs to help camoflage the fat!

                    Going to the funeral home today to sign guest book--and see my friend. We might not go to the funeral since our son has a tonsillectomy scheduled that morning! :upset:


                    Have a good day all!--Yoga day for me too! :h

                      Hi everyone,

                      Just checking in - did have a couple of beers after baseball last night but didn't overdo it so for that I'm happy - so technically today is a day one again but since I modded last night I am counting it as day 3.

                      Greeny I have had dreams like that too - they are empowering. Now I just have to take that dream and make it a reality!

                      Hope everyone meets their goals today - I will NOT drink today.

                      Love and hugs,
                      Uni

                        Hi All,
                        Just checking back in today after being away since Sunday evening. Hoping everyone everywhere is having a good ODAT day!
                        Had a really weird day yesterday - had a work meeting back in a place where I last worked about 8 years ago and it was like stepping back in time, nothing had changed.
                        However, all the old triggers were there and I really felt like racing out and grabbing a bottle of wine, or TWO, to knock back later that evening. Something happened while I was working there - got involved with someone, got my heart broken - usual stuff. I suppose I have never really gotten over it (it was all very complicated but then aren't they all?) but I had been able to put it to the back of my mind as I had been out of that scene for so long, have since got married and had kids etc... Only thing that saved me was that I was staying in my mothers last night as she was minding the kids and she does not drink. I prevented myself from going to the shop. Cried all night though so still woke up feeling crap!
                        Hopefully I won't have to go to a meeting there again anytime soon!
                        Back in my own home now and feeling tempted, no booze in house but I think an AF wine or beer will kill it for me tonight.
                        Anyway, over the HUMP and onwards! - and yes, One2Many, if I said that to my husband he'd think all his christmasses had arrived at once!
                        :h
