Good morning. Happy Thanksgiving. I'm being lazy today! I thought I might try to work out, but my back is on the verge of still being pretty tender. Waiting one more day won't kill me and will probably be better. I'm off to shower and take the dogs for a run (them and not me). Hope everyone...

>Hi Colleen: > >I hope you have a great day tomorrow. I was wondering but >"Whelp" means that the litter is going to be born or are they >going to be weened from nursing? Not up on puppy lingo. :) > Oops..sorry about that. Was typing fast. It means they will be born. The pups are due to...

Ah, just finished lunch. EFL Turkey Meatloaf…yummmmm! It will be easy for me to stay on track tomorrow. Dh is flying out to be with his parents and I’m staying in town to help a friend whelp a litter and keep an eye on our dog with lymphoma. So my big splurge will be a free mal of Tater Tot...

Hello again! Gayle: I'm coming over...what time should I be there Thursday??? Heidi: Sadly I've gotten better and "only" have 4 diet cokes a day. Once 3 pm hits, I only drink water. I might see if someone can help me get her down out of the car. She "can" jump out, it's just not great for...

Well, drats, my back is still hurting, however, thankfully it is finally getting better. I have dog agility tonight so I'm gonig to do some light stretches and see what I can do with some light running. Thankfully it's my "small" dog of 40 lbs so she's easy enough to handle, lift in/out of the...

Quick check-in today. Well, I really did something to my lower back. It still hurts pretty bad. Dh said I moaned in my sleep all night. It is getting a tad better but boy is it sore. I'll give it a few days and if no progess, then go to the Dr. I'm already on sleeping pill, pain meds...

Jen: I'm 3 weeks into working out, 2 weeks tomorrow total BFL. Heidi: Somwhere I have a Yoga Zone video that is great for my neck and back. I do have allk inds of "aids" at home from the physical threpiast. One is about a 4 foot long styrofoam "roll" looks like a pillow roll. You can lay on...

It’s official…I’m either getting OLD or I am OUT OF SHAPE. I go for option B! It’s the lesser of the evils J First my good foot hurt, then my neck, NOW my lower back is sore…eekgads am I out of shape!! I have, however, lost an inch in my waist and hips and 1.5” in my belly!!! I didn’t really...

Another quick check in for me today. I just wanted to thank you guys for being so motviating. You are all so POSITIVE and it's catchy. I woke up feeling burned out from work and just thinking I can't go on at this pace and pretty darn grumpy. But checking in, really has given me some positive...

Another biggie to wtach out for are corn cobs. Corn cobs can cause obstructions. We always walk them out to the outside trash. Was Xylitol listed? It's also very bad for dogs. Colleen

I peeked in yesterday but didn't get a chance to post. Work is so hectic right now, this check-in is really saving me, even when I don't get to post. The exercising is helping give me not just a physicial workout, but a mental break from the stress too. Hoping things get organized her soon...

Quick check in today. Whew, what a day. I have 2 herniated discs in my neck that are pretty managable about 90% of the time. But the stress of my new job has them out of whack. I had 4 hour meeting this morning so opted to skip my cardio until after work so I didn't have a headache. If it...

Good morning!! Wow, almost a whole week of being on plan and it feels GOOD!! Hey, gotta start somewhere :) I'm going to a dog conformation show with our Dobe puppy this weekend but just heard it's supposed to be raining hard and it's outside...wah!!! I'm supposed to go to a BBQ on Sunday but...

Mace doesn't stop a lot of dogs if they are hell bent on attacking. And then you risk getting your dog maced in the process also. Colleen

Had a nice BFL LB workout this morning and came into work in a great mood…ha that didn’t last long. We have one VP who can be witchy and she’s been on a roll the last 3 days. I can let most things roll off my shoulders, but today hit the end of my rope. Had to shut my door and give a quick...

I would report it. If she is not responsible enough to either keep her dog enclosed/inside, etc. or on a leash, I would report it and not risk my safety or my dog's again. I have a low tolerance for stuff like that tho. Colleen

I'm so sorry for your loss. Losing them is never easy, but especially at a young age. Do you have any idea what it might have been? Is your breeder of any help? Colleen

Did my first weight workout last night in at least six months. The Dobe puppy we have (who is 72 lbs) decided it was great to lie on me and chew her toy while I did “skull crushers” and then decided it was more fun to try to eat the weights. It was hard to workout with her on me and then me...

I can't do any running right now on a treadmill or outside. The treadmill is too hard as is regular gound outside. I can do step about 4 times a week if I'm faithfully icing. Biking is fine and the elliptical is ok; but I still have to ice. I've let my gym membership lapse so i'm stuck with step...

Good morning. Had to come into work by 6:30 am so no workout this morning. Have to take the dog back to the oncologist and hoping for some good news. But I will do BFL UB tonight. I think for the first few weeks, I'm going to do BFl lifting and THEN try some of my tapes. I fear if I put in PUB...
