    love the pics, tbrain. speaking of dogs, our little one, April, who I picked up to foster on Dec 17, threw up yesterday & this morning so just got back from vet. They gave her subQ fluids, antibiotic shot & anti nausea, she's home sleeping. We love her so much, we're going to adopt her, never mind that we already have 5 dogs. 4 large & 1 chihuahua, who we adopted after fostering her about 2yrs ago.Also my hubby was in hospital for a week with high heart rate about a month ago. 2 days ago his HR got high again so we're waiting for Dr to call back. As for me, I've been doing pretty good. Lost 2 lbs. We don't watch SuperBowl, but I decided to eat goodies for that day anyway so got some honey bbq wings(frozen) french fries (love them)& a coconut cake. So we were watching the dog sport championship that day & I never got around to eating any of those except one serving of cake, which fit into my calories. They're still in freezer. I tend to get OCD about things I make a commitment to & feel very obligated to stick to it, that's why I've been married for so long, lol. I don't normally stress eat, but last nite I stayed up too late after hubby went to bed. I prayed for him but was (am) very concerned. I was so sleepy & it being past my bed time, I got hungry, so I ate the 3 sausages that were left. The good thing was, they are turkey sausages, 100 cal each but I went 300 cal over, Boo! I've also been jogging intermittently while walking my dogs, I went out before I took April to the vet & upped my weights at the gym.

    hello dog lovers! (and healthy people!) LOL! Happy Hump Day!

    Holy, this week is getting away on me, sorry I haven't checked in yet! My parents got robbed (broad daylight at around mid day) earlier this week, and I've been trying to help them with the police file and insurance claim. All I can say is I am thankful they weren't home at the time!! But sadly, all of my mom's jewellery and tons of their electronics was stolen, plus a lot of other things. :( Everyone should go home and take pictures of all of their jewellery and important stuff, as it makes a big difference for the insurance/police claims!! GAH!

    I love all the dog pics!! Chance looked so cute, I seriously love the spot around his eye, he's so adorable! And OMG Bruce Wayne!! HA! Do you ever call him B-Dubs?! I like giving my dog nicknames.

    Nichole - nice to see you back, was wondering how things were going! Too bad the fam is sick - get on a haz-mat suit and get the disinfectant going in your house! LOL!

    Shy - so awesome you are feeling back on track! I need to feel back on track too. LOL! I want to go to a trampoline park so bad! That sounds like fun. Nice pic of you and Bentley! Looking like a sexy mama!!

    Melanie - congrats on getting your cast off, now you can get back to your exercising and strengthen that leg back up! I also love Banff, it is about 5-6 hour drive from where I live, and we go at least once a year. :) I've hiked that Johnson Canyon many times!

    June - we need a pic of your new puppy!! You are seriously making all of us dog lovers wait!? haha! Congratulations, that is so awesome. What did you name it?

    Gem - did you ever get results on your interview? Sorry if you said it, I literally have skimmed the comments to catch up today.

    JenHul - happy birthday to you! I'm turning 42 this year too, in September! Hope you enjoy your day! Also don't worry about the oral surgery, everything will be fine. My son is 9 and had it over a year ago, the first few hours after are pretty brutal but they heal up so fast.

    Rachel - How did the new doggy daycare work out for Chance? and HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!! I didn't even know it was your birthday yesterday, but something told me to have a glass of wine, so I did! Glad I followed my gut on that one, LOL! It was a cheers to you! :)

    I've been eating like complete crap too. I know I'm a stress eater, but somehow can't get a handle on it when I'm stressed! (??) My friend's mom is back home and healing up nicely with her ankles, but having to deal with the burglary and all the rest of it, plus being too busy last week, plus super bowl (had 12 wings, and two desserts, plus other crap!) YIKES.

    But! I made taco salad last night, and had it for lunch today, and also am making cabbage roll soup for dinner tonight. Going to keep plugging along! I went snowshoeing on the weekend, plus I did cardio at the gym Monday, and last night did a Pound class. So I'm doing ok with the exercise, just need to measure, measure, measure, log, log, log, and hydrate! Shy, I'm going to slam water like nobody's business too!

    @gemwolf110 :::Waves at you as you run past:: Hope you get a few minutes to breathe. Hear anything about the job interview yet? I see you answered. Hope, it is sooner than later. I love huskies. I really like the pic of all three on the couch.

    @janetay01 I am sure grandma knew she was reading longer than you would. Part of being a grandma, you get to spoil your grandkids a little. Allister might be too young to remember this, but he won’t forget how much his grandma loves him.

    @rachel0778 Hope you are feeling better. How did doggy daycare go?

    @shycush6 so freaking cute. You look pretty damn good too! Darn headaches. It is amazing how our bodies sabotage us sometimes. Sounds like a good day ahead.

    @evamutt So sorry dog and hubby are having health issues. I hope things turn out alright. We can’t foster dogs, otherwise we would have too many and not know what to do with them all. We all stress eat a little. Please let us know what the Doctor says.

    @bluepoppies777 Oh my! I am so glad your family wasn’t hurt, but what a pain in the *kitten*. They are lucky they have you to help out. I can see how the week got away from you.

    @tazzy2911 Adorable! Have to check in more often. Hope things are well.

    I might have to figure out how to post pics, so I can post a pic of the dog who thinks I belong to him. It is the BF’s mom’s dog. He and she both live with us, so he is more of the family dog. Spoiled rotten. I will see if I can get a pic posted tonight.

    I did well yesterday! Managed to be 4 calories below on calories, got 75 minutes of cardio/balancing in. Plus spent an hour at the gym in the steam room/hot tub and just relaxing. They do a body analysis at my gym if you pay for the premium membership. (We are) It shows in 2 months I have lost 6.5 pounds (I have been struggling with this) not too bad considering all the holidays we had. I have lost some body fat and gained some lean mass. I am happy about it. It will be even better the next time I do it.
    My weight has been fluctuating a lot, and I have found I am eating more than I used to. Need to get back on track. Going roller skating again tonight. 

    All these puppy photos just made my day! I absolutely love it!

    Mr. Chance had a wonderful day at his new daycare yesterday :) They said he was welcome back any time! I also had two ex-employees of the old daycare reach out to me to express their condolences over the breed ban and tell me how much they loved my dog. It meant the world that they took the time to find my social media profile and write me.

    Today I got up early for personal training and we did the weight room. I normally do free weights so this was my first time with machines. They really do pack a punch! I hope you are all having great Thursdays!

    @bluepoppies777 I am so sorry to hear about your parent's home! That is absolutely awful! If I actually owned anything valuable I'd take photos of it, that is a great suggestion! I love the photo of Copper, he looks so happy!

    @Evamutt 3 turkey sausages is not a bad way to go over at all. It sounds like your body must have been craving the extra protein. We can't be 100% on plan all the time :) Your puppies are so cute! They all look like good friends

    @gemwolf110 A month is such a long time! My job took about that long to get back to me too so I feel your pain. I hope the good news comes soon! I absolutely love the photo of your fur babies snuggling together!

    @ShyCush6 It's so nice your Mom can take care of Bentley during the day! I'm glad to hear that your headache is gone so you can get back to normal. Great photo of you and Bentley!

    @tazzy2911 Your puppies are so cute! I'm so glad you popped in to add to the great puppy photo montage!

    Happy Thursday everyone! I loved seeing all of the dog photos!

    @Rachel0778 - Way to hit the gym early and use the weight room! Machines definitely can pack a punch. Glad to hear Chance had a good time at his new daycare!

    @jdelaroy - Great job on the weight loss and fat loss! 6.5 lbs is still a good amount in two months. :)

    @Evamutt - Awww, your puppies are so adorable!! I'm sorry to hear about your husband; I hope he feels better soon!

    @bluepoppies777 - Copper is so cute! He looks like he loves the snow.

    @gemwolf110 - Aww, your fur babies are adorable too! I hope you hear about the new job soon!

    Okay... here are some pictures of our little man: Cooper! He is obsessed with bones. We've already taught him Sit, and we are working on Lay Down now. He loves to snuggle too. :) Cooper is a beagle/collie mix. He's 10 months old!

    These dog pics made my day!!

    Eva: Nice job on the loss! Dogs are great exercise with walking and it’s enjoyable! Hope all is ok for your hubby & pup. Cute doggies! Is that a recent photo? I miss green grass!! ;) I’m getting into my winter blues!

    Joy: OMG! Sorry to hear about your parents! WOW! Ballsy! Sad thing is nothing can replace the stuff lost when it is jewelry with fond memories. But glad they were not home and are safe. Bentley’s nickname is Boo… =) I do that too! The trampoline park was so fun! The kids had a blast! I’m turning 42 in September this year as well! How did we get this old? Sounds like you are getting in the exercise… and you’ve had enough to be stressed about… just reel in the stress eating… you got this! Water.. water.. slam! ;) It’s working for me! Love Copper! How cute!! Happy boy!

    Sinead: OMG!! Love the pictures!! How cute!! That bow tie!! LOL!

    Missy: Sending good vibes on the job front!! Your babies are awesome!! Look at those eyes!

    Jdelaroy: Sounds like you are doing great! It’s so much harder in the winter with holiday and cold. Keep up the great work! Hope roller skating was fun!

    Rachel: Glad Chance is happy in his new daycare!! Nice job on the weights this morning!!

    June: OMG!!!! Cooper is adorable!!!!

    JenHul: Barkley!! I love it!! He is so cute!!!

    Well I am having a great week! They scale is down and I have been working really hard at my calories and getting a good burn! I was on the elliptical last night and got a 500 cal burn!! Now if I could do that every day! ;) Scale was down 1.5 lbs… which made my morning! I even had room for 3 Oreos last night! YUM! My daughter and I were at the gym last night and I laughed as we were hard at it, her boyfriend sent us pictures of him eating Girl Scout cookies… yes.. that time of year… those are the devil! ;) Some of you are so lucky you don’t have them! =) Great cause… evil cookie! Heading to the gym tonight and hubby will be away at a meeting so I will stay as long as I like and not feel guilty for being home late for dinner. I know I shouldn’t feel that way, but I do and it’s dumb! Might even do the massage bed again! Have a great day!

    Morning all. Sorry I didn't check in yesterday. Well the bug found me. Woke up yesterday morning at 12:30 and continued to get sick until 6 last night. I have not thrown up that much since I was pregnant with jenna Came to work today but I am counting the hours until I can leave. Now body better mess with me today. Happy Friday.

    @rachel0778 Glad that Chance did well yesterday. Good job rocking those machines. Do you like the training you are getting?

    @wishfuljune He is adorable! Thanks for coming back and sharing pics. Hope everything else is going well. We miss hearing from you.

    @jenhul Too cute. We use to have a cockapoo. Such lovable dogs.

    @shycush6 Great job on the weight loss. I think you found your mojo. I hope you tweaked the boy’s ear when
    you got back. Doesn’t he know it is dangerous to tease a woman who is trying to lose weight with GS cookies. I’ve done really good and not bought any of those things.

    @gemwolf110 I love the one of them all in blankets. Our dog likes to do that too.

    @ngolden3320 Feel better soon! Hope work goes smoothly for you.

    Over all I did pretty good yesterday. Yesterday morning, we were trying to figure out what to have for dinner last night. It seemed like all the stuff I had in my freezer we had just eaten in the last week. So we said, screw it we will figure something else out. I did. I ended up making breakfast casserole. Oh man was it good! Everyone liked it. Hard to do when feeding 6.
    Last night I fell really hard on my knees. I am now limping along. Having an easy day today.
    Happy Friday, and a great successful weekend everyone.

    @ngolden3320 Sorry you aren't feeling well. It's a shame you weren't able to take today to recover

    @jdelaroy I love breakfast casserole too! Such an easy awesome dinner, I hope your knees feel better today. I really love my PT sessions. Our trainer has been in the military for 10 years and does a great job of explaining things and adapting workouts. The only downside is that since I already have so many things going on I feel like I'm overtraining and never home!

    @gemwolf110 Great photos! I totally want to jump in on that puppy cuddle pile! Also, how do you keep your couch looking so good? Ours is a drool laden disaster!

    @ShyCush6 Congrats on the loss! I'm glad you were able to take some time for yourself at the gym last night. I'm very jealous you have girl scout cookies in your area. I have no idea where our local girl scouts are but I haven't seen a single one!

    @JenHul Barkley is so cute! What a little snuggler!

    @wishfuljune I love your new pup! He sounds like a fast learner!

    I made it through yesterday in one piece!!! I had personal training in the morning and a 2 hour derby practice at night. These long days are really starting to wear on me! 3 more weeks of personal training though and then my life can get back to a normal amount of activity.

    Tonight I'm going to a concert with some girl friends to celebrate my birthday. I'm really excited to dance the night away! And then Saturday is my first roller derby mixer. Wish me luck!

    Happy Friday, everyone! Whew, what a week. I only have time to say a quick hi and check in, as I have to get to an afternoon conference!
    I looooove all the doggy pics! Aren't they all so cute?! I also like how some have similar names - Copper/Cooper! Bentley/Barkley! :)
    I put my fitbit back on this morning - had a nice chat with my bestie on the phone last night, she gave me a good pep talk. She's down 11 lbs just since January, so I better get my *kitten on board already!

    Have a great weekend everyone! I'm slamming water, and I'm logging my food. Gonna go snowshoeing again on Monday (it's a long weekend here!) Hope everyone gets over their sickness and aches/pains, and can have time to make healthy meals and exercise each day. :)

    Wow! Talk about a dog pile! They're all so cute! I have no cute puppies. :( . Of course, I'm allergic, so...probably better this way.

    So the walking boot is killing me--it is heavier than the cast was! I dropped to just one crutch a couple days ago and boy is that rough! Today I went to a seed fair with my sister in law and got some cool seeds. We trotted around the place for an hour. Boy, was I tired when I got back. We'll see if I actually do any real veggie growing. I tend toward a black thumb...I touch it, it turns black.

    It is definitely Girl Scout cookie time. I've got a bunch coming my way...but I've joined this stupid weightloss program to earn points for a health insurance and sweets are forbidden for the next two/three weeks...so the cookies will be put away (I cheated last night and had a Vienna Finger...who knew one cookie was 75 calories?!?). And I've been sourcing them for others... :D I'd had a menu planned for next week but I'm reducing the amount of food I'm eating this week with the program I'm on and now I have a bunch of leftovers that need eating...so maybe my plan will change.

    You have all been so busy! Rachel...you are amazing...the derby and the personal training are a lot of activity! So impressed. I hope the concert was great! Welcome Brian (& Bruce Wayne)! If our posts say "Hey, Ladies!" it's just because so many of us are, well, girls. I'll try to include gents, too. Happy birthday to all our birthday girls! Way to go on getting back on track, Shy! @ngolden...hope you're better really soon. @jdelaroy...the body analysis sunds pretty cool. And the skating sounds so fun. I'm so looking forward to being back on my feet all the way...one of my friends has been wanting to take her 6 year old skating and I am so up for that.

    Anyway, hope all of you have a really awesome weekend!

    melaniedscott, so sorry you have to wear the walking boot & it hurts your feet. I had one of those in the past. I saw a friend I havent seen for a while yesterday & she said I'm skinny, even tho I have 25 more lbs. A neighbor down the street saw me while walking dogs who hasn't seen me for a while & she noticed the wt I lost even tho I was wearing a big sweater. It did make me feel good, even tho I'm doing it for me.Hubby has electrical problem in his heart, the Dr said he's going to get to the bottom of it & he's on meds now. April dog is feeling much better. Took her for walk too.I had all this ambition for today, but after some house work & 3 dog walks, it's gone, lol. I'm cooking some lentil stew, I use the orange ones & chicken with veggies with cream of mushroom soup & drinking lots of hot tea today (no sugar) hope ya'll had good weekend.

    afternoon all - just a quick pop in, not had a chance to go through all updates so will get back to that later. I'm having a study day at home - writing an assignment on the differences between coaching and mentoring and how it could work in my organisation. Why did I sign up to do this again???? Got a days holiday tomorrow - going to try and be creative (and mushy romantic :) ) and make some valentines cupcakes - I'm using ready roll icing which i've never tried before - if they come out vaguely ok, I'll post a picture. have a good monday all!

    @bluepoppies777 That's exciting news about your friend, she sounds like a great ally for your weight loss journey

    @jenhul Happy Birthday! Glad your husband made if a great one

    @Evamutt I'd be wiped after 3 dog walks too, way to go!

    @janetay01 amazing progress on that quilt!

    @melaniedscott I hope those 3 weeks go quicklh, that sounds horribly restrictive!

    @gemwolf110 Thanks for the tip on the couch, I really do need to cave and get a cover. My dog not only drools but he also licks the couch (little weirdo)

    I had an amazing weekend, but I am absolutely burnt out. Friday I went to a concert in the cities with my friends for my birthday. Saturday I had only 2 hours at home before I headed out to my first roller derby mixer. I had an absolute blast but both nights I was out past midnight. I've been pushing myself too hard lately to say yes to everything. I really need to start saying no and scaling back. I hope everyone is having a great Monday

    Nicole: Sorry to hear you’ve been sick… Hope you felt better over the weekend!

    Jdelaroy: Hope your knees are better! Ouch! I think I have found my mojo finally! I love breakfast for dinner! I was craving pancakes so I had them for dinner Thursday!

    Rachel: Love the new picture!!! Glad to hear you had a blast at the concert!! How the derby mixer go? I’m sure you did awesome! I caught my dog licking the couch yesterday too! I’m guessing one of the kiddos we had over Sat. night dripped something! Hope you can find some me time and not burn yourself out!

    Joy: It’s great to have friends along on your journey! All my friends are skinny *kitten*! LOL! Hope you had a great weekend!

    Melaine: Hope the boot is getting better! Sounds like you are keeping busy… an hour walking in a boot is a long walk!

    Eva: Love when people notice you are working so hard! What a great feeling!! April is a cutie! Glad she is feeling better!

    Janetay: The quilt is looking amazing!!! Great job!! Can’t wait to see the cupcake pictures! I’m sure they turned out awesome!

    JenHul: Glad to hear your daughter did great! Sounds like you had a wonderful birthday! Happy belated!! =)

    Welcome Cheryl! Sounds like you are doing amazing! We love hearing achievement stories! Please share often!

    Well, ladies! I am so proud of myself!! Had a nice chill night at home with Lexi Friday night. Woke up & worked out on the elliptical in the basement for 45 min. Then I went to a meat raffle, had a couple cocktails & came home with a Stuffed Pork Roast and stuffed pork chops! One of them will be dinner tonight! Then came home to chill out & watched “Sully” with Lexi and her friend. It was good. I like true stories. Sunday, Lexi and I hit the gym for over an hour and a half! It felt awesome! We also hit the hydro massage beds too! I managed to have cocktails, papa murphy’s pizza, and Girl Scout cookies this weekend and I didn’t gain at all! I finally know my balance. I have to get in some great workouts to enjoy some yummy treats! Actually I am very proud of myself as I finally realized my dilemma…All this time I keep reading lifestyle change and that is a great thing, don’t get me wrong. So I have been eating/burning for a lifestyle change and not to lose weight. I need to first eat/burn to lose weight, then I can maintain with the lifestyle change eating/burning. Because that was exactly what I was doing… maintaining and not losing. I don’t know why that brick did not hit me WAY sooner! WTH! So I am down 4.5 lbs since the New Year basically. 2.5 of that from last week after the brick hit! I update my goal chart starting last week, so I feel fresh and regenerated! Now to keep at it and do this!! Shooting for 1.5 per week… I can do this! Hope you all have a great week!

    Awesome gemwolf110! Good for you!

    Janetay...the quilt looks amazing. I'm so impressed when people have those skills. I can sew, a little, but my real issue is persistence. I'll start a project but I get bored and move to something else.

    Cheryllynn...that is a fantastic loss!

    Shy--that is terrific loss for the month. Glad you had a good weekend!

    Rachael--your weekend sounds like a lot of fun. What's your derby name? I know most leagues give everybody a 'stage' name and they're always amusing.

    I started feeling a little iffy Friday and thought it was just allergies. It wasn't. Every day has gotten a bit worse. Today I started coughing a lot, which means it's irritating my asthma. I got off work and took a nap. Don't know how tomorrow will go...I have to actually go to the office. Sigh. Maybe I'll wake up all better. Doubtful...This is not the week I'd choose for being ill. I have an all day meeting Thursday with a two hour drive to and from. Upside, I feel so crappy, I don't feel much like eating.

    congrats on your promotion, gemwolf, way to go shy, we have the hydro chairs where I go too, I wish i can be at the gym longer, like you, but I get ansy staying in one place for too long. I'm so sorry you're not feeling well, meaniedscott. I do hope & prayed for it to just go away. I know how miserable it is when you're sick & have obligations. Sounds like you had a very busy weekend Rachel, but fun.Today was a good day for me, went to volunteer at the dog rescue & we brainstormed some ideas how to get the dogs that have been there a long time more adoptable. One of the reasons is pulling on the leash, so I'm planing to take some time to walk at least one of them while I'm there. I notice a different eating pattern has developed lately. I find I'm more hunger satisfied if I eat 2 larger meals & no snacks.Before mfp, I only ate twice a day but I ate too much food. I'm still going to have fruit/veggie smoothies in the morning tho.I think it's the cold/wet weather, in the warm weather i only ate when i was really hungry. I just finished eating lentil stew but I want something else too, not sure what yet. strange how things change. I'm fine with it as long as I don't go over. I've been drinking more hot tea at night, 2-3 cups. no added sugar

    Shy- meat raffle what a great idea. we just had our reverse raffle for high school softball. oh course I won squat. I would love to have won some stuffed meat. lol. Could you throw your brick my way so it can hit me. It is rough trying to get back into it like I was.

    Rachel- Roller Derby sounds like so much fun. And yes what is your Roller Derby name?

    Cheryl- Great job on your weight loss. Feel free to add me as a friend.

    Janet- Quilt is just beautiful.

    So that stomach think kicked my *kitten*. I didn't start feeling like myself until Sunday afternoon. The kids got hubby and I a hotel room for valentines day. Saturday we ran around some (body ached like crazy) then went to dinner. Longhorn steak was amazing but couldn't eat it all since stomach still wasn't right :'( then we went to the hotel. We sure suck as a romantic couple. we were both dead asleep within a half hour of arriving. But it was nice to get away and we must have needed the sleep. So far kids haven't gotten it.

    Everyone have a Happy Valentines Day with you loved ones. Talk to you tomorrow.

    My roller derby name is Buffy the Derby Slayer :)

    @ngolden3320 Sorry to hear you were so sick over the weekend and you weren't able to enjoy the romantic dinner/night away!

    @Evamutt I love that you're helping pups become more adoptable. Mine is a puller on the leash too, we do the gentle leader which he absolutely hates. Any tips to reduce the pulling without it?

    @melaniedscott Sorry to hear you're not feeling well either, it's really going around!

    @Meg_DeLaCruz and @cheryllynn513 Welcome!!!

    @gemwolf110 CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! You earned that promotion!

    @ShyCush6 The derby mixer went well! I fell no less than 30 times, but I did make lead jammer once (for non-derby people this means I was scoring points). I'm glad you've found your equilibrium. I came to the same conclusion that as long as I stay active, treats can stay in my life.

    I ended up feeling pretty crappy yesterday so I stayed home from work and skipped derby practice. Today I feel a million times better. It was wonderful to sit around, interact with no one but the dog, read my book, binge watch the new season of UnReal, and take a nap! Today I went to my AM personal training, we're having a potluck at lunch (I'm sticking with healthy options), and my significant other is making me a steak dinner for valentines day <3 It's going to be a food heavy day but totally worth it. I finally caved and looked at the scale yesterday and I'm less than 2lbs different from before Thanksgiving, which means I'm right in maintenance mode. That weight is going to melt off, especially as the weather starts getting nicer.

    What are all your Valentine's Day plans?
