Month: May 2018

So when I restarted this weight loss effort for the umpteenth time on 12/28/17 at 196.5 lbs I set a weight goal of 179. It seemed far away, but more realistic than my actual goal weight of ~168.

Well week by week, pound by pound, small change by small change I’m down the 17.5+ pounds I set out to achieve. Just look at the weight loss chart! With all goals, I will enjoy this achievement, but I have set a new goal of 165!

When I first started my weight loss efforts at 222.6 lbs in 2010 my goal weight was 168 and my ultimately goal weight was 155. I think 165 is a realistic and happy medium in terms of BMI, body fat percentage, maintenance, etc.

I’d love to hit the 160s by my 35th Birthday on August 4th!

Let’s do this!

So many measurements! Yesterday I did my end of month weigh in and measurements. Solid progress. Then jumped on the scale today for my WIW 

Last week: 179.9 (I was holding steady there for a little while) 

This week: 178.7 

Change : -1.2

This baby is taking years off my life due to stress, granted he’s my whole world and enriches my life every day. 

However for the past 3 weeks or so he’s essentially been on a hunger strike. Refusing to eat any type of dog food. T and I could certainly tell he’s lost weight but today at the vet I was horrified to see he went from 7.7lbs just about 6 lbs. The vet was alarmed too. 

Fred’s had a lot of bloodwork the past few months, but that doesn’t always tell the full story. Fred had an insatiable appetite for most of Feb and Mar even waking us up crying for food. Now for most of April the pendulum swung the other way so we’re readjusting his meds again. 

The good news is the vet took Fred off prescription food because he’s more interested in him eating period. Thank goodness between a mix of wet and dry non-prescription food Fred ate today. I moved his bed into the kitchen while I telework because I wanted to keep an eye on him. Here’s hoping he will continue eating and that we finally get the med dosage right. 

Anyone know where I can donate 3 different bags of nearly full expensive prescription dog food?
