WOW this is tooo cool, chai got apporoved for a "scholarship" for behavioral training!! a local animal resuce group will pay for it.. with a personal trainer..
caninemind.com
This trainer does not believe in using choke chains or zappers ... which I am very happy to see.....
she wants to have his first consulation some time next week! I sure hope she can help him with his issues... he doesnt go after people.. however he doesnt want any strangers to come near him...
HELLO!!!.....hello! What a week I've had. My new job is crazy hard on the legs and feet. Its been 5 yrs since I've had a job (I've really enjoyed the SAHM thing) but what an eye opener!!! The ladies that I work with have a term for the high heeled cosmetics girls.....they call them "barbie's" haha.....have no clue how they can wear those 3" high heels. Me? I'm wearing low heeled loafer type with nice comfy soles....THANK GOD!!! and I'm still feeling it. I thought I'd be getting about 20-25 hrs in ladies wear, but my supervisor is scheduling me 32-38 hrs!!! The money is great, but I asked her to shave my hours a bit......I gotta see my boys. I miss them so much.
Then if thats not enough.....my best friend flew in from Canada for 4 days of whirlwind shopping. Yup, shopping!!! The last thing I really wanted to do since I"d been on my feet for 7-9 hours a day.....but we had alot of fun. She even had to buy another suitcase for what she bought!!!!
I missed you guys though.....seems I have no time when I get home and I'm dog dead tired!!!! Hopefully my body will SPRING back.
Curly.....oh, little Chai is off to school!!! And a free school at that. wooohooo, who knew? Good luck with the 8 mile walk today!! Say hi to Mr. Bill.
Val, Iwmonn.....Hi HOw are you two doing? I need to stay out of the Halloween candy too Val. This year I bought all the candy that I didn't like so I wouldn't open the bags 'early'. Now I have to just "not" look for the boys stash and I'll be okay.
L2L.... WELCOME BACK!!! Hey, its a swinging open door policy around here. Glad to see you again.
LOL i dont feel like wonder woman this morning! think i must be feeling like Angel after her first day back at work... hehehe my feet hurt!
and my head hurts now after gettin on the scale.... grrrr all this exercise and my weight is still creeping upward............ time to get my eating back under control... cuz ive been doing the "oh 1 lil ..... wont hurt me" but obviousy it will...

Starting Monday... I put myself back on SB phase 1... i figure no use in doing all this exericse if i am gonna be half-hearted with staying OP with my eating.. and I went back to my ladies workout express ... so I am down 1 lb since monday.... but let me tell ya @ 3pm monday I was wanting to go hunt down the candy jars at work.... but i made myself stay away from them.... gotta crack that sugar addiction...
and back to salads for lunch..... one day at a time....
I had a bad day calories wise. Yesterday I was low then today I'm back up again At least I got in an hour of hard exercise.
Wednesday: 2551 calories, 359 deficits, 1 hour Tae Bo
Just checkin in with ya'll cuz it's been a while since I posted. Things here are still about the same. Emotions are all over the board. One day I'm up and things are great, the next day I can't seem to eat enough garbage.... I dunno. Lee is down to 22o today and I haven't weighed myself in a week or so, but I was up to 226 that morning.... *sigh*... I'm still waiting for my friends dd to be ready to give up her son's exercise equipment. I've got my "gym" space all ready in the cabin outside.
Curly~ You have become a walkin' & hikin' QUEEN!!!! Good for you. And good luck gettin back on the beach! Focus. Oh, and hey that guy is kinda cute too AND congrats on chai getting a scholorship. It's amazing what someone else can see in our pets too.
Val~ Hang in there GF! You are still doing wonderful. Keep up the great job with the exercise. btw, the new babies are adorable!
Angel~ I'm glad to hear your job is going well. Must be kind of nice to be back in the "real world" hehehe..... but I can imagine it's difficult to be away from the boys too. LMAO @ the Barbies hahahahahahaaa.. I haven't worn anything but tennie-runners since I moved to my little BFEgypt town lol. I love it.
Turtle~ It's great to see you again. I'd love to see you come in more often again
Anyone hear anything from Petra? I bet she must be so busy with the move and new job.....
Hugs to you all, I'll post again sooner than later next time......
Thanks for the (((()))))'s Val... I think I needed them ...
Well, I finally got the nerve to step on the scale today and it was what I feared, I was 229.5! It STOPS there!!!!!!!!!!! OK, now I've said it so I guess I better do something about it huh?!?!?!!
I ate ok today, but am making a batch of oatmeal cookies right this minute. Maybe a last hurrah, or maybe I'll just allow myself two and (if I know my DH), there will be none left tomorrow anyway LMAO... Anyways, I hit the water hard today, and had a nice lunch of hard boiled egg, string cheese, tuna and an alternative bagel... (if you haven't tried one of these, they are awesome, LO cal and lo carb!)... dinner was ok'ish with small steak, pasta and (YUK) lima beans! and yes, I know I need to work HARD on getting in veggies and fruit. So.... ya'll be good ya hear?!?!?
low carb bagels? omg... sounds like heaven! Oatmeal cookies arent so bad... have u ever thought of doing them with wholewheat flour and using splenda? I think u can pretty much re-make any receipe...
Well the consultation with the dog trainer went well... and tonight i began implementing some of the things I learned... Ive been working with chai on his "sit" and its so amazing what making him sit and stay before leaving on our walk does... totally changes his attitude.. no pulling and tuggin on the leash when we walked .. HOWEVER... ya know those chows are just too smart cuz he got to the pont where if he didnt see a treat in my hand he just didnt sit...
like he was saying "no treat... no sit" hey wait a minute who is training who here???? LMAO
I had a good OP day... tho in the afternoon I was craving candy again... but went to work prepared with peanuts for when the craving hit...
I tried some of those smart-ones low carb microwave meals... ehhhh they are ok in a pinch when ya gotta have some dinner quick... u need to supplement them with more veggies tho.. i was suprized cuz the salisbury steak was pretty decent...
I am off today for veterans day... umm so why am i up at 5 am? need to go find a cheap crate for chai .. and more treats for training tho he seems to prefer cheese.
Sunday bill & I are doing a 5 mile hike at an old colonial village .. ummm something like Williamsburg VA if u have heard of that...
OK i will check back in later have a great day pic's
