    Newbies Nest

    Charles Bukowski

    Congrats to you to all of you! All of you have strong will power or you would not even be posting here! So, I have no urge to drink after having a few this weekend.. However, I have a cold and I blame that on the weekend beers! Boredom is your worst enemy! Workout, eat good! Find lots of satisfying hobbies!
    ?That's the problem with drinking, I thought, as I poured myself a drink. If something bad happens you drink in an attempt to forget; if something good happens you drink in order to celebrate; and if nothing happens you drink to make something happen.?

      Morning Nesters! I hope everyone has their determination set on high. I received my Nutribullet yesterday, so I'm working in an earlier trip to the grocery store to get some more smoothie ingredients. I've been using my mini blender, but want to give this new one more of a challenge with a wider variety of veggies and fruits. I've been feeling under the weather since the weekend, but maybe some power packed nutrients will lift me back up...that and lowering some of the stress I've been loaded up with lately. It's important that we don't stop taking care of ourselves in healthy ways and keep setting boundaries even for our own behaviors that can be harmful to ourselves and not just AL. We do many things that can bring us down by our own hands and thoughts. Sooooooooo, let's make today a positive day full of healthy choices.

      Congrats to Patrick on 150 days! Wowza! Outstanding. When I get to 150 days, I hope I can have a different color for my flying underwear. Just a request.

      Thank you, Byrdlady! That was touching to me, and I appreciated your note.:l

      May you all have a successful day or night toward your current goals!

      Love,

      Slay

        Hi All!

        Sorry I've been sort of AWOL lately, I'm really focused on getting healthy, which means lots of trips to the gym, and by the time I get home I am pooped and ready for bed.

        Slay - Enjoy your Nutribullet...I LOVE mine. You can buy frozen fruits too. I read that the way they flash freeze them actually preserves more nutrients than the "fresh" fruit is able to retain. I got some great frozen peaches the other day...yum. The only down side is that all of this healthy food is expensive! It's sad that you can get junk food so cheap, but try to eat healthy and you're spending an arm and a leg.

        I need to read back to see what everyone is up to, but I do want to mention how proud I am of PATRICK for earning his coveted flying-undies! WAY TO GO!!! Keep it up...you're doing great!

        Everyone have a great day in the nest!
        :heart:I love my daughter more than alcohol:heart:

        Believe in yourself. You are stronger than you think.

            Such great posts. Yes to a healthy day of choices and Kuya's line about the nonsense of taking a drug if you're not going to get high. That's what I feel about decaf soda or coffee, really?

            Have a great day everyone!

                      Patrick, the FU Award (Flying Underwear) Bahahaha, again!!! Started last week when Running Courage put me on the spot to produce and award for Star's Landmark 150 days. It seems to have stuck! (she does the moons so what could have been more fitting than undees?) Plus, when you do get to use THAT icon???
                      Nice acceptance speech!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Short and sweet! Bahahaha....XO, B

                        Good to hear from you, One. Hope the puppy will be ok.

                        Stop, Patrick, I'm going to bust a gut laughing! You are good. Very good. Do you rhyme, too? We had a pretty good limmerick competition going here not long ago. RC and Byrdie were great contenders!

                          I don't know, Byrdie, I think in Patrick's case we might want to forego the FU award...maybe we could erect a statue in his honor instead? Have a real celebration...someone could play a song on the organ...just a simple one. Not too hard.

                          Now where's my 15 year old boy when I need him? You can't say two words around that kid without him snickering that you've made some kind of innuendo.:H
