Hey everyone! How's it going? You all ready for Independence Day weekend? Always a fun holiday to be around as Brit
So I am done dog sitting Bella, I got a pretty good $300 for the week which is nice! I'm eager to get my work permit so I can start job searching, it'll be nice to have an income again. I treated myself to some new sandals, I don't own a pair and since it's summer I wanted a nice pair of summer shoes that aren't just flip flops.
I got these, they were on sale! Woohoo! Might take a while for them to get here since it's a holiday weekend. Fingers crossed they fit, if not it's free return.
I spent the day that I got back home and yesterday just relaxing. I think I needed it after always being alert for dog sitting and needed a bit of chill time to settle back into normality. Some days I just need a lazy day! The only problem is I have to work out every day over the weekend to make my goal, but I'm determined! I did a Jillian Michaels strength training day today, so tough! I always feel it the day after though. Felt great though.
I've been seeing 165 lbs on the scale the last couple of days, but my lowest weight this week was 164 lbs. I'm hoping now I'm drinking more water and I'm not eating like a cow grazing in a field the weight will drop down. Here's to hoping!

kisskiss - I would say get a malamute, but I don't think I would ever own one! They're hard work. Very head strong and independent. I like my dogs a little more obedient/dorky! But they are a great breed.
LovelyLeah - Sounds like you live in a wonderful place!! I would love to have access to nature but still live in the city
.
Penny - Well done on being more active! If you wanna reach the 150's by August I'd suggest really pushing yourself to get your heart rate going and getting a sweat on for at least 20 minutes every time you work out. I'm sure the weight will fall off you
poly - They are quite wolf like in their behaviour too, very independent! Don't feel intimidated!! Everyone started somewhere, don't let any beef-cakes scare you off

Dani - Sounds like you're killing it with the exercise! I'm the same way, food is always the problem for me.
char - Hehe, abs are always misleading... and strength training in general!! It's so strange how I can be so good with food but then have a day or two where I just want to eat all the food in sight. I blame it on my period looming around the corner...but I think it's a mental thing too. If it's there, I want to eat it! Sounds like you're owning your exercise goals though. Keep it up!!
atmos - Welcome back! So great to see you
. Sounds like things have been pretty hectic for you, glad it's all looking up from now!
NNS - Woohoo, congrats on your weight loss! That's awesome, I bet you're stoked!!
