Okay... so right now I am sitting doing my e-mail stuff and my dog puts his sweet little head in my lap. In his mouth is his rope... aww he wants me to play with him. So I take one end of the rope and with one tug he pulls me so hard the chair tips over! He looked so pround of himself. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... he is getting so strong. Man that was funny.

So far so good. Today was a great eating day.... so far. I just have to stick it out through dinner!

Just checking up on my new team mate... ready to kick some butt?

Absolutely!!! I am very excited about this challenge!

Hey H,

I'm just checking to see how you're doing and by the looks of it, you're doing well.

What kind of dog do you have? (I love animals)

Oh yes, I wanted to wish you luck in the coming challange...kick some butt!

Hello. Good Luck in the challenge. Keep walking that dog!

Hey Miss Kalie... I have a lab/boxer mix. I actually posted some pictures of him in the thread about loving animals. I think you had posted there also.

Also, to you and Pineola as well... GOOD LUCK!!!

As for today.... I am sooooooooooooooooooooo tired. I mean dead tired. Last night I couldn't fall asleep because i had a monster headache and when I finally did fall asleep my husband decided to have a nice little conversation with himself. Yup, he's a sleep talker!!! Last night he talked to himself for a good 2 hours. Laughing and having an oh so happy time... it was actually kind of funny. I would have gone in the other room but sometimes his talking leads to walking... so yeah. Then, at 2 Banjo(my dog) woke my up with a my shoe in his mouth! I guess he was trying to tell me something. I'm thinking he's not really on a schedule like I had thought... more of a he REALLY likes me to take him on these long jog/walks and wants to go ALL the time. Unfortunately for him there will be no walking today... Rainy and wet. So, I will be forced to exercise in the house. I'm thinking 1 hour or so of dancing around shamelessly will do the trick.

hey, I have an elliptical and i LOVE it! whats great is the magnets in it, so you can start low and as you get better you can adjust it. Plus it's low impact on you knees, so it won't hurt you back much! I know what you mean about missing home. My hubby got transfered last year and we had to move from one end of the country to the other...litteraly. I don't know anyone. And I had to leave my mom who's my best friend =( It'll get better. Just think about going back to visit and blowing everyones minds because of how good you look!!

Thanks Juggalette!! Good advice about the elliptical! I think I really will plan on getting one. Thanks for the encouraging words about missing my friends. Now that I think about it... the next time I do see them they will be shocked because I was around 280 when I moved. HAHA.. The only friends that have seen me are the couple that made it to my wedding a year and a half ago. A couple of weeks ago my friend came and stayed with me for a week and couldn't get over my weight loss since my wedding (30lbs). She was shocked... made me feel good. So I guess if I think about it that way I will be more motivated to lose. Thanks!

Where are you from and where did you move? I lived in California and moved to Louisiana... CULTURE SHOCK!!!

Just popping in to say hello to my fellow teammate....HIIIIIII!!!!!!!

I'm Bonnie and looking forward to kicking some butt the next two weeks....

Good luck on the upcoming challenge!

I was in BC (canada) and moved to Nova Scotia. We lived in this big city in BC and now were at the end of the world, we're actually on an island off the east coast of Nova Scotia called Cape Breton. It's a small lobster fishing town..AHHHHHH ha ha and me covered in my tattoos and piercings, I stick out like a sore thumb. =)

Thanks Bonnie!! I'm really looking forward to this as well!!!

GOOD LUCK to you too Valapalooza!!

Juggalette... I actually know where Nova Scotia is! haha. My dad is originally from Canada. (in Ontario) and recently has become OBSESSED with Novia Scotia. About six months ago my dad read an artical about it there. I can't remember what it was about but it made him obsessed. Oh well, at least you have fresh lobster.

HA HA I hate lobster! But we get all kinds of seafood, mmm omega 3. =)

I only had lobster once and it was in some sort of magical tasting dip thing...but i do love seafood! you lucky girl you.
