Alright so I am not on the fast track and I have accepted that. :)  I have lost 5.6 lbs since starting this thing and here's how it goes typically...

two pounds down, one pound up, two pounds down, one pound up.  But that's alright, I'll take it!  I got a new dog and his name is Stu.  He is helping me to get out and run three times a week and walk a bunch on the other days with one day off.  That is part of why I chose to get a second "larger" dog.  It would be unfair for me to expect Chavez to run/keep pace with me.  He is GREAT on a hike, but he's more of the slow and steady sort.  So now I get to share pictures with you!

  These are of Chavez, all 13.6 lbs of him, woot!

  And ta da, this is Stu..  who knows how many lbs of him.  His first Vet visit while under my supervision is tomorrow.  I'm sure though that he will be around 75 or 80 lbs.  We'll see.  So as you can see the running is as much for him as they are for me.  We live in a tri-level TH so exercise outside is key for this fella. 

 

And back to the main point of this blog... El Bod.  So the first improvements from my meager 5.6 lb loss have revealed themselves to me.  Ya know that part of your back that sits kind of on the sides but just below where your bra strap is.. the part that could roll if given half the chance... yeah those.  I caught a glimpse the other day and I was like.. hey.. that's much better looking.  woot!!  oh and I believe that my arms are looking better also.  Of course the arms thing could be from "working" with Stu on his leash manners.  wink wink!

 

Well that's it for now, look forward to talking at you some more in a bit!
