The Day After…

November 1st, 2009

Can I just say that we did not have enough trick-or-treaters last night - in Dog’s opinion that is!  Halloween is hands-down Dog’s favorite holiday.  She watches out the window until she sees the kids coming up the sidewalk then runs over to sit by the door.  I hold her by the collar while the kids get the treats, just so she won’t knock them over with her enthusiastic waggling.  Dog’s favorites were the little cowboy, hobo, and Fred Astaire that gave her a hug and a kiss.  She only barked at the two boys that ran across the yard instead of coming up the sidewalk.  She usually plays with her nylabone or her kong toy in the evening but she’s so worn out that she’s been sleeping all night.

Uh, oh!

October 26th, 2009

The outcome of my contest with Mom does not look promising!  I’ve got to make up seven pounds in four weeks and she is still losing.  Based on previous results, I’m not seeing this as a likely outcome.  Of course, at this point, I would just like to get back to the weight I was at when we started the contest!

Maybe Thanksgiving

October 25th, 2009

We had a “Maybe Thanksgiving” for our family this afternoon - just in case we don’t have another chance to get everyone together again in November.  So today was not the best diet-day ever but the dinner was quite tasty!  I had a few days of completely undeserved weight loss this week so I’ll have to remember not to get to aggravated when I have a five pound gain tomorrow.

I think I’m going to give Weight Watchers a try - just to change things up a bit.  I’m just using the points formulas I found on-line for now.  If it looks like a good fit for me, I may try meetings or the on-line program in January.
