Annabelle3117's Journal, 18 April 2014

Good Morning everyone!! Trust Fall challenge is starting today, so this is my final weigh in for the next six weeks. Also, here are my current measurements, along with the difference from my previous measurements March 16th:

April 18, 2014
Weight 189 (-6.8lbs)
Bust 41 (-1in)
Waist 45 (-.5in)
Hips 46.5 (-3in)
Thigh R 21 (-1.5in)
Arm R 14 (-.5in)

A good solid inches loss, especially in the hips. I knew my belly looked a lot smaller, and my jeans were getting looser. These results are confirmed by my smart scale that tells me I'm up 1.5% of muscle. I only ask it to be smart once in a blue moon, and it saves the info for me lol. So although my weight number has flat lined the last couple weeks, its obvious things are still moving around. So, I guess I won't miss that lying ass number much, will I?

Yesterday I worked with my sister in the afternoon, and I noticed my mom's dog Copper was acting a little off. He's an old man, he was my dog as a teen, but I moved out into a place that didn't allow pets and you know how it goes. He became mom's dog. He was very clingy to me, not wanting to eat yesterday. Then his eyes started getting weird. His eyes would be off in two different directions, it was scary looking. He has been having seizures a lot more often lately too. Today is a much needed day off for me, but I'll be taking him to the vet at 10:30. I'm afraid this is going to be neurological, a tumor or something, and he will be gone fast. If it's something that requires expensive treatment he will also be gone fast, as we don't have thousands to throw down on him. He is, after all, a dog. Just a stressful time, I dreamt about it all night last night.

I'm going to try not to let this affect my food choices, or portion choices, and handle it mindfully. I did have a couple beers after work last night, probably deserved but not necessarily needed. There are people out there much worse off than I with my old dog, I must be strong.

I also have to figure out my activity for today. I don't have a window of activity this morning with the impending vet appointment, after that tot watch doesn't open again until 4pm. Drats. I really don't want to wait that long. I was hoping it would be warmer than it is now, so I could take the kids out for a walk or something but it's super chilly. We are also coloring eggs today, almost forgot about that lol. I will calm my scrambled brain over some coffee while I step into your worlds for a while.

Happy Friday everyone :-) Make it count!

Yolonda, I am sorry to hear about your dog. I hope things go well today at the vet. I am not sure how I would handle one of my dogs passing, since we do not have children they are our children. All my best to you and your family, and I am sending lots of prayers and best wishes for you.

Best of luck at the vet. It's heartbreaking when it's their time as we all get so attached to our dogs (and cats for that matter). Out of curiosity, how tall are you, Yolanda? Your measurements don't seem to stack up with your photo - you look pretty slim for a 45" waist!

I am 5'5" Phooka. I measure my 'waist' at the widest part of my belly, just above my belly button. I don't know if that's where the technical waist is lol. I started with a 58inch waist. Thank you both for the well wishes.

Sorry to read about your dog, that is indeed very sad. All strength for you and your family, and I hope your dog can still recover... you never know, it might be less bad than you think! I sincerely hope so. Good luck with the upcoming challenge!

Sorry about your dog. :( That's rough. One of my bosses just had a dog that passed away and had some similar symptoms, he had had a stroke, but then he lived a few months after it. At least the poor puppy has someone who cares enough for him to get him checked out and not make him suffer. I did my final weigh in today too, and I'm actually excited about not weighing in to see the final results after the challenge. I will be so busy in the next couple of months that not thinking about a weigh in will be nice. Love seeing your measurements and how much you lost! I forgot to post my measurements, so I'll have to go back and do that later. Good luck at the vet! Have a great Easter weekend!

So sorry to hear about your beloved Copper doggie. :( I hope he's okay. If you can't get your workout in this morning, do some squats in the vet waiting room or make a run-around-the-table game with the easter egg dye (ooh - maybe not, that could get messy!). Anyway, the point is, everything counts!

Not as tall as I thought you might be. Looking good either way :-)

Yolanda, I just did my last weigh-in and am excited about seeing my body take shape and not just watching the horrid, "huge' number on the scale. Thanks much! CHALLENGE: Trust Fall - The Weight Loss Version

Prayers for you and Copper from Mushy and Me. I bought those plastic eggs w/candy already inside them & put them in a bowl on the shop counter. I also bought a bag full of stuff to send over to Blondie's crew ~ that just reminded me - I need to make the sign. Instead of using a basket I'm using reusable shopping bags ~ am going to label it their 'Easter Bags-it'.

Great measurements! Sorry about Cooper. I am still mourning my Conan. :-( Sorry I did not join you challenge. I am not mentally capable of avoiding the #'s. I LOVE them toooo much! LOL
