Success/struggles of the week: i have been making some slow progress, my weight is down a little and so is rhe trend. I continue to work on keeping my snacks reasonable and in check. This doesn't come easy. Some nights are a real uphill climb, i just can't find the will to walk away and not make excuses for coming back. It sounds funny as i type, but some nights it's a reality, i actually reason with myself to justify going back to the kitchen knowing well that i am actually going to get more snacks, even if i had my share already. Sleep is in need of improving, I don't get enough hours and wake up so tired.
@bananasandoranges, that would actually put me in the low end of my range. Besides, it's a pretty fluid thing, i definitely can stand losing a few pounds even below that.

Success/struggles of the week: A few days late...but I made it back to 131 from 134 -- and the quest for the low 120's (where I was a year ago) continues! We adopted a year-old lab mix from an animal shelter this week - she had been found in an abandoned building with other pups -- and the shelter had her on "lock down" -- she wasn't up for adoption (all the other ones had been adopted out) -- but they saw her responding to us, and after going down there for three days and walking/playing with her, they said she was ours! I don't think this dog (who is the sweetest dog we've ever had -- she is our fourth rescue dog and they've all been great) has ever lived in a house before -- we had to teach her about the stairs -- but now she is sleeping on our bed (loves it! -- no comments please -- it's not YOUR bed! lol!) and today she started giving kisses! She is dreadfully underweight (is at 39 lbs. and should be around 55!) -- it has been quite the week and I am spending lots of time outdoors and walking/jogging with her and playing and, well, just get yourselves a dog for exercise!! Have a good week everyone -- see you in July!
