I'm going to start trying to write out the process that I went through to lose weight some years ago. For this first blog about it, I want to focus on how to avoid gaining weight during the dreaded Winter season or Holidays, and even possibly losing weight the way I sometimes do. I think it's taken a while to finally write this out because for me, I feel like I'm being all, "ooo look at me aren't I special," and I hate feeling that way. It's hard for me to talk about and I don't even understand that. Could be me, but I know how much friends and people that I talk about this with, have wanted to know how I did it, so for you, I am committed to writing it out. It took me ten years to go from nearly 200 lbs (or a size 16-18W) down to about 140-145 lbs (or a size 6-8). My method may not work for everyone, and those that go my method may incorporate ideas that help them shed the weight faster. I am not a doctor, either. Clearly. Listen to it, or not, bu...

Kona decided that he didn't want Lucy sleeping anymore. Since momma is busy writing and unable to give him play time, he wanted sissies time. What did he do? That little beast above, walked over to her and grabbed the pink blanket that covered her (below) and dragged it off her, then began "killing" it. haha Meanie. Typical younger brother. Now she's next to me on the chair to avoid him and he's running around the house.

I think at any time during the year, but especially the holiday's that it becomes important to take care of yourself. Despite writing this blog (I'm being stubborn and shouldn't really be on the computer), I am taking the weekend off. Maybe just today, maybe the whole weekend. Depends on how I feel. Last night I just started to feel extremely dizzy and nauseous, then really cold, and it wouldn't let up. For a person who doesn't get sick, I know why it happened. I overworked myself. My body has this wonderful ability of telling me when I am ridiculous (the only one I listen to, really) and need to take a break. And, as much as I hate taking time off, that's exactly what I'm doing. The dishes have already piled up, which means I will do those (we don't have a dishwasher so there isn't much choice), and I do have to stay on top of some cleaning or else the house becomes total ruin. Same with making dinner, but I do have a pizza ready to pop into t...

 

I just spent almost my entire payday (which granted, isn't much right now) on . . . the gremlin gang. The Gremlin Gang 4/12 But come on . . . look at those faces! Er . . . bodies. They're cute. Promise. That's okay. They are worth it. And I have a few problems I'm attempting to correct with this round of purchases as well. Drs Foster Smith is currently having a sale on Distaste Plus and while I perused the site, I saw them slash the price further. From $14.99, down to $9.99, then down to $7.99 for a 2 lbs tub? That's almost 1000 treats for coprophagia treatment when I buy two. Since we have to give the treats to the dogs who are having (blech!) their ahem eaten, that amounts to about 2 months worth of the treats. I have found those treats began working when they were younger, but I couldn't continue it (finances). My oldest dog, Sabrina has the potty eating problem the worst, as well as the momma to the ones above. Kendra's main issue comes when I ...
