Hello Mod's Land.
I am getting better about saying Good morning because I realized it's not morning for everyone out there

Hope you all have a wonderful day.

Beth, my prayers are going out for Lindsay today.

Well I have a new challenge. I have done pretty well with mods when alone or with hubbie. Last night we had friends and I went overboard. Not to the blackout stage -- I remember everything -- but to the blabbermouth, open a bottle before one is finished stage. I feel like crap today. Woke up with a headache and have to meet the trainer at the gym. Should be fun...

So I need to learn to apply my mods to social situations now. The same people are coming on Sunday with my inlaws for Father's Day so I will have the chance to handle it correctly then.

Ugh.....

Tx for listening to my vent. I hope everyone is doing well today.

Good morning Fellow Mods....Ducky-I almost in a way think it's good the mess up once in a challenging situation because it makes you remember oh yeah THATS why I'm working so hard to moderate (ie hangover this morning) I moderated ok last night, as I was w/ friends as well. I made a conscious choice to finish the one glass left in a bottle thats been open since Sat night when I got home. Which I probably didn't need, but having it gone may make it easier to go AF Wed and Thursday. I've generally been doing fairly well not drinking during the week.

Greetings MODland. Ducky I think the combination of modding and social pressures is the hardest thing we will face on a regular basis...it's hard for sure! try not to ralf on your trianer really though.....hope you feel better soon.
Nice AF evening last night. Discussed Mods planning when Dx is away this weekend. that's been one of my biggest triggers is when the wife's away I get bored and anxious and suffer from seperation anxiety (at least I have in the past) and then drink too much. things will be different this time a round.
cheery Wednesday everyone!

Tx Gita and Determinator! I am sure I will feel better in a bit. I just returned from the gym. I did cardio and lucked out because my trainer could not make the session! I just might have ralfed on him!!!

When I socialize I let myself lose track of the amount I am drinking. Or I should say that I used to do that. No more! I saw the look on my neighbor's face (puzzled) when I opened a red when we had 1/3 of a bottle to go...I guess it was obvious I was having more than one more glass! I don't want to see that look again.

OK, I am on to better things today. Our market had wild salmon yesterday for the first time. I splurged on a big filet and that is dinner tonight. Either AF or MODS.

Hi Betty, I am trying not to beat myself up. Thinking positive thoughts works much better. Have a great day and good job stopping at 2. It's so nice to wake up w/o a HO.

Hello to everyone in Mods!!!

Beth your family is in my prayers sweetie...

Beaches...you seem to be busy, busy these days

Ducky...great job getting that workout in! makes the bounce back that much faster...sweat it all out and replace with water

Gita.. sounds like you're figuring out what works for you and developing a program

Betty..I hear you on the creeping into bad habits thing....me too

I haven't posted in a few days because I have been super busy with work and getting kids set up for camp ect and so on...It's has not been just normal busy but, EXTREMELY stressful busy. I have alot of employee issues and temperatures are running high. I am the manager and I go back and forth between trying to take everything on myself just to get it done and getting fed up with employees and bad behavior. I have to recognize that by taking everything on myself I am teaching and rewarding bad behavior. Need to put those bitch boots back on.... I hadn't been strict with my program for 4 days but, am now back to where I want to be. I will be a lean, mean kick ass machine by 4th of July! That is my goal!!

MKR and Lush thanks for asking about me.

Hello to all in MODsville:
I had to make a trip to the chiropractor this am. I almost fell down last week in the garden and my back/neck has been out ever since. I still feel stiff but I know I'll feel better in a day or two. OUCHIE!!
My 16th anniversay is coming up this weekend and hubby and I are taking a trip. Although we are taking the kids it should still be fun. Park City, Utah. We have never been there and I think it will be beautiful this time of year.
Hope everyone is doing well.

Happy Anniversary in advance, DidIt,

sometimes the near falls do more damage than falling. Hope you are feeling better very soon.

Hi Ya'll!

Beth sending prayers to you & Lindsy & your Family... :lilangel:

Beaches-Sounds like you're still busy with school... Summer's coming!

Ducky- Hope you're feeling better. Glad ya didn't spew on your trainer.

Gita- My weekend is the mid of the week. So I have to keep myself busy Tues- Thurs. As long as the weather's good... it's no problem...

Determtr-Seperation anxiety huh? You know you can always come on here.. we'll "bitch slap" ya! Make ya feel loved !

Betty- Those old habits sure can sneak back in real fast & furious if I'm not really vigilant. (Don't know what just happened to my print type here..)

PP- Management sucked for me! I'm so, NOT cut out for it! It's like being part babysitter, part psychologist, and trying to please everybody ... while still remaining friends...Ha Ha... Try doing that in a small town, working with everybody ya know, & have known for years, that you "party" with after work...
Great to see you!

Didit- I hope the chyro helped. Happy Anniversary & enjoy Park City!

I had a wonderful day on the river yesterday! Spent most of the day on the water with my doggie. I put-in about 1opm and didn't take-out till about 7:00pm. It was beautiful & sunny, definately got some color, & caught some great waves off of the jet boats! Feeling a bit sore today.. but not too bad.
The sun hasn't popped thru just yet today, but probably soon. Maybe go again later, after I do some chores.

Hope everyone has a great day! Happy Hump! inkele:
Hugs,
Judie

Hey Judie, have a great "w/e." I have a kayak too. My husband gave it to me for my birthday last year. I have hardly used it because of a problem with my left shoulder. I am getting an MRI tomorrow so hopefully I will find out what's up and then make a plan to fix it and get in my kayak!

In your divinely sanctioned quest for having, doing, and being ever more, should you ever need a little inspiration, simply think of all you now have, all you now do, and all you now are.

Blows our minds.

You rock,
****The Universe
______________________

Beth, as all have said, in our thoughts and prayers. You are so strong, you have shown us this over and over again. Your sister needs you for her rock right now, I pray you have the strength to help her.

Beaches, hope you have a great day and get some fun time with those kiddos!

Ducky, do you have the cd's? Maybe pull them out plus tons of kudzu and l-glut just before you see friends. Making a (silent) game out of whose drink last longest got me through my first couple dinners out with girlfriends. You can do this, just maybe have to rethink some of your program.

Gita, good job, I think it does take awhile into the program before an open bottle stops calling your name.

Det, I think not having my husband around in an evening use to make it way easier to pull that hidden bottle out of where ever and a great excuse to over do so I do know what you are talking about. Good luck for this weekend, I know you can do it. You have the strength!

BB, your vibrogym sounded cool!

PP, Hey good to see you girl! Sorry work is so heavy right now.

DidIT - ICE IT, its better for your inflammation than heat. Hope you feel better and you have an excellent trip! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!

Judie, hope you get the chance to get out on the water today!

Louise and I just met at my office and went for a nice long walk on a tree lined dirt road. What a sweet lady she is and just wonderful company to be around. I have never had the opportunity to meet another MWO member. What a lovely experience that was. We are going to try again for another walk real soon.

Hugs and Love to all here and those to come later in the day!
