^ That's a good one, I know my dogs would like to get out more often but it's tough in winter. When it warms up some I plan to be out there almost every day, I'm sad to think that I may have to leave my old dog at home some days and just take the young one I think that amount of walking would just be to hard on her.

I've started to tell people to and have recently become involved with a Canadian challange which weighs in every week. That's helped to keep me going some, but due to other commitments I'm not able to work out every day. Last night my Mom said to me "You're loosing your pants!", they're so loose they're falling off! I loved the look on her face when I told her I used to have to lay on the bed to do them up

Keep telling me your great tricks! I need all the motivation I can get!

Well, I said I was motivated by earning a black shirt on the Fitlinxx program at my Y. And last week I got there AND the Y only had black shirts in 5x. OK, I can wait until they reorder.

Today I went and there was a sign that they were not going to be giving out shirts for each level anymore (cost-cutting, of course). sigh.

I guess now I'll just have to settle for more energy, better numbers at the doctor's office and toned physique to keep me going.
