Hello

I think coming here is what has been motivating me because I sure can't seem to control myself while I'm away. I'm so frustrated, because I'm so tired I guess? I rest when I can and I get a quick meal, and watch over the puppies, and the puppies mom is sick! I'm so upset because she's like my baby girl, since I can't have anymore, and now she might have to have surgery! We've got her on antibiotics but that may not be enough? Oh, I forgot to tell y'all she ended up having 11, 6 boys and 5 girls.

I'm glad to see everyone making their way back in here, I know I'm going to try to start posting everyday again, I really think it was helping!

Well I'm gonna go again, but I'll be back!

Good morning everyone!

Zoe, I hope that your Tuesday is less frazzling than Monday.

We have a busy week this week. My son is starting ice hockey goalie lessons. I am on the school board for our church preschool and we start interviewing candidates for director this week.

I have decided to really turn it up a notch or two as far as diet and exercise go. I have been stuck on a plateau long enough. Yesterday was great, I ate right and got a lot of exercise. I biked for fun with the kids and went to the gym and worked out while they were at school.

Have a good one ya'll!

Mel, sorry about your puppies mom, what does she have?

Hi y'all!

I finally got a little rest today, I think the new meds. may be helping my girl ( momma dog ) so she and the puppies seemed to be resting a little better.

Asta, she has whats called Pyometria which is a very serious infection in the uterus. If we can't get it clear up, she'll have to be spayed. I'm pretty upset by this because anyone that knows me , knows that I take very good care of all of my dogs, but this one is very special because she's been with me inside for almost 4 years. And she's my best brood female, and produces very fine litters.

So I've really been stressing over this, because I try to do everything right, but something always seems to go wrong! Kind of like dieting! I did a little better today with my eating, but it's hard because I don't have much to choose from since my husband hasn't been shopping. Yes, he does the shopping when I have puppies inside!

Well it's time to go check on the babies, I'll post another pic. of them when I make a new one!

Have a good evening! Mel

Hey girls,

Wow been really busy here lately. I think I have also been avoiding coming here because I have been bad. I have been doing terrible with my eating. I figured well it's the end of the month so I may as well wait until the first to make the change. Then when the first came it didn't happen, then the second came and my husband wanted to go out to dinner. etc. etc. etc. Well now it's the 5th and I have got to face the music! I really don't know what has been wrong with me?

I know one thing that I am really, really upset about is that I started this diet 6 months ago. And when I started it I called my family who I haven't seen in two years and told them I am coming to visit in July. I was so excited because that gave me plenty of time to take this weight off before I went back to go and see them. Well the first month I did great! I took of 20 pounds then I don't know what happened the last two months? Now I only have three months till I have to face them. Now even if I do great on my diet I will still be heavy when I see them. Even if I have a great three months. Sorry just need to let off some steam. I am really stressed over this. That is what we are here for right...

Well what I have decided to do is try and accept my self, and just do the best I can. I think if I do great the next three months I will still be heavy but at least I won't be obese when I see them. This is better then nothing.

Asta, I am soooo glad your little one is feeling %100 again! It sounds like you are back on track with your diet and exercise! Great job!

Zoe, My Easter was great, went to the park with the family, and just relaxed all day Sounds like you had a great one too! I don't think that is mean at all not to tell people so they don't buy you the shiny ceramic!

Mel, I hope your dog is doing better! I will say a prayer for her. I LOVE animals! My heart would be breaking. Sounds like we are going threw the same eating thing right now. We will get threw this! We Will!

Lets hang in there all!! We CAN do this! Lets not give up on each other ok!

Wow page 5 already! Going to start the new one! It will again be exactley the same but have a #3 next to it ok!

See you all there.
