It might be fun to try being a Unicorn---Anyway, Guess what?--This AM., I weigh---- 190.5-----Lord love a Duck! That is simply amazing!-- I hadn't been on the scales for a few days so it really was a shocker to look down and see those numbers.-- I suppose that sounds pretty high still-- My goal now is to get to the 180's---- then to 165 some day--where I used to be , many years ago! -
-Son#2 this morning was asking how I was doing it?---the weight thing---- I think it's a lot of mind over matter---I look at something that I kinda want to eat, and ask myself, "Do I really want that?"-----plus, the portions at dinner I notice are smaller--I just can't eat why I used to---AND-----there is always Lopez---taking him out every hour---
Lopez Chico has figured out where the door is. After he has done his business outside, he races back to the front steps and hops up them---
He is pretty smart--but---- Lordy Be, he sure can get snarly when he is tired--- and he tries to chew on my hand with his tiny spike teeth.
Life certainly is busy---Oh--One more thing-- I hear that Queen Elizabeth has been told to slow down-- I wonder if she needs that Holter Monitor?
Lynda, I'm so happy to see how your weight is coming down and you are an encouragement for me. I need to push myself to get losing regularly instead of 'off & on' as I'm doing.
ReplyDeleteYes, Chihuahuas can be fierce, but let Lopez know he's not to chew on YOU. Mine never did that and they would allow others to pet them. You don't want him to be a snarling adult dog.
Wishing you luck, leaving Lopez's care to Fred but you do have to leave him at times.
It's about time Queen Elizabeth takes it easy. She's had a terrifically busy life!
Hugs to you & yours.
I tell him --"NO" --but--it seems to mean nothing to him--How did yu discipline yer 2 wee ones?
DeleteWhoo Hoo! Congrats on the weight loss! I knew you could do it without Spark. I have a hair app't today also. Busy day ahead . . . getting ready for a visit from the granddaughter tomorrow . . .it's an overnight at Grandma's
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the weight loss!!🎈🎉 You’re an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteGood to hear about the weight loss...I have not gotten on my scales in a while.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't excited about the snow you mentioned I am not ready for that to start.
Have a great day
Great to see that weight coming down. Little Lopez knows where the door is to come in so he will soon figure out when he needs to go out. Takes patience.
ReplyDeleteSo good to see yu Willow--How are yu doing?-Lynda
Deletehurray on the weight loss!! I started out at 206 in 2015. It has taken me till this morning to get down to 157. Still have about 20 lbs. to go
ReplyDeletebut will get there sooner or later. (Sooner, I hope). Saw a "kitchen hack" on FB a last week about keeping bananas and it seems to help. Just take a piece of foil and wrap it around the stem ends. They lasted a few days longer than usual. Have a great rest of the week.
Amazing that you have lost so much weight--a lot of mind over matter eh?--And thanks for the banana tip-Lynda
DeleteWoo Hoo on the weight loss. I can't eat as much as I used to either. I guess Lopez is keeping you busy these days.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy getting your hair washed and done. At least you are not afraid to go out, where you live. Texas is still bad, due to dumb folks. Good luck today.
ReplyDeleteThat’s great news about the weight loss Lynda! Must be due to all the trips letting
ReplyDeleteLopez in and out. I’m sure Fred will be ok with Lopez for a while so you can get your hair done. Got my snow tires on today so I’m prepared but still don’t want the snow. Will miss Florida again this year due to hubby’s health issues. 👍 ❄️
I think I'd like to be a Unicorn!!! Congratulations on the weight loss. Isn't it funny how all of a sudden is seems our bodies get it! I have been reducing my portion size at mealtime and now my body doesn't even want what the portions I used to eat! I think you're doing great!
ReplyDeletehappy to hear you are doing so well with your weight removal..
ReplyDeletecongratulations
You have one busy day today and in the rain... hope all goes smoothly
Joanne
You are doing great with the weight. Mind over matter! Good luck with the monitor results. Hope Fred can keep up with Lopez Chico and doesn't shut him out. Good luck and enjoy your hair appointment.😀🐶
ReplyDelete♥️ hugs and have a great day!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the weight loss. You are proving that you can do without Spark. Take some time to relax when you get your hair done today. Take care and enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteAdd to the last 'poster'...an ounce of kindness!
ReplyDeleteI have seen a shirt on tv I want to get: Addicted to caffeine and kindness. It's not available in a sweatshirt, though, so it will wait for spring.
I hope the holter monitor's output is good!
It's been rainy on and off here for a couple days, too. We are not that far away from each other. You may one day have me knocking at your door dressed up like the Queen! {{{HUGS}}}
Holy success! Congrats on your weigh-in. Awesome. One step @ a time. You’re doing so well!
ReplyDeleteAwwwwww, that is a most adorable picture of Lopez Chico in his little bed.
Good luck w/the hair appt. and returning the Holter monitor. HOPE hope Himself does a good job babysitting little Lopez Chico.
Yes, I wondered if the resting mandate for the Queen was due to heart problems. Prayers for her.
HUGS
Congrats on weight loss. You ROCK girl.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy hair apt. And time away from home.
Hoping Freds monitor results are good.
Looez Chico seems to be catching on nicely. I sure hope Lopez Chico stops using those razor teeth on you.
Thank you for your daily updates, sense of humor and your upbeat positive attitude. You help brighten my day.
Be well and safe!
Good for you Lynda! I hope the Holter monitor found out how healthy "himself" really is! I guess Lopez Chico is just being a puppy! In the teething stage! Good luck with that! Lol (((HUGS)))
ReplyDeleteWeigh to go, pun intended!
ReplyDeleteWay to go with the weight loss. I hope the holter monitor shows good beats. Lopez sounds like a whirlwind LOL.
ReplyDeleteYou are doing great with the weight loss. I need to get back with the program and start working on the 15 pounds I have put on during the pandemic.
ReplyDeleteI purchased a T shirt with the unicorn saying on it a few hears back. I have a few unicorns around and a few that I have put away (got tired of dusting them.)
A little trick I was taught many years ago with a biting puppy is at the corners of his mouth, where the upper and lower lips meet, push that skin in when he tries biting and he will feel the pain like he is inflicting on you. It might take a couple of times but he will soon learn to have a gentle mouth. You are not causing his pain, he is and his lesson learned is when he tries to bite you he hurts himself. I had only one out of five dogs that took more than a couple of times to learn to be gentle.
Have a great rest of your evening. Beth Mosko
Sure sounds like a busy busy day to me. Hope you get everything thing done that you need to.
ReplyDeleteLynda, it is a lot of mind over matter. We can get all the support we want but it still is up to us. That little Lopez is such a sweet little thing and I think you are very courageous for taking on a pup. It's almost like taking care of an infant.
