Pupdate #2: she slept a bit this afternoon. The fluid humpback has gone down. She stared me down as I shredded her boiled chicken. Whined a bit. Ate it all (.25 cup of rice & .25 cup chicken sprinkled with probiotic). She went back to lick her bowl. Seems to be feeling better.

Pupdate: her vitals are all good. Her abdomen is a little tender but he said that could be from vomiting and anxiety. She's going to get some anti nausea meds and fluid. Been waiting in my truck for 2.5 hours now. Hungry. Need water. I would have went to get lunch but I didn't know when they would need to talk to me and…

@elise4270 oh I'm so sorry they did that! Ugh, they should always ask if you want to be there at the end. We took our old man to this emergency vet and they asked if we wanted to be in the room with him. They seem to be letting some people in so I assume its based on severity (one dog had already passed and the owner went…

Hey all, can you send some positive vibes my way? Shadow was puking last night but she had seemed to stop around 9 pm but about 10 am today she puked again. I'm at the emergency vet now but can't be in there with her. I get it but it makes it harder, you know?

I read this article earlier today, feels like it fits with what we are talking about. Also, it mentions the book Roar which I've seen/heard recommended many times. I put it on my Amazon wishlist before it came out but not ordering yet. ETA the link LOL…

I need to eat every few hours typically or I start to get shakey and if I wait too long a headache.

I finally broke the 50 miles in a month after several months (I think November was the last time I had more than 50 miles). Woo! I did 3.25 this morning. I tried to take the dog but she clearly wasn't really into it. When I finished she was back in bed! (The little jerk woke me up at 4 something and goes back to bed…

@Avidkeo no nap sadly. I started dozing off and then someone started growling in her sleep! 🤣 It's like having a snorer in bed.

Slow 15k this morning. Now I'm doing a CBD facemask and Prevail on my legs to hopefully help relax me into a nap. 🤣

@shanaber I've never seen artichokes growing! Reminds me a bit of pineapples.

I was over yesterday by 1 calorie lol Although my lunch meat was slightly less than a serving but I entered it as a serving so probably spot on. Got up this morning and it was 63° out so I took the dog for a "run". She did 2.8 and I went back out to finish an even 3.

I've been eating 200-300 calories over every day and still feeling like I need more. Not necessarily hunger pains but like in my body. Not sure how to describe it. My meals have been fairly healthy and typical of my usual meals. My calorie goal is almost 2000 calories so not like I'm eating 1200. Sigh. I'll weigh in this…

@shanaber Glad to see you have some anwers. I would also wait for the consultation. 🤞🏻

I'm thinking about doing the Memorial Day to July 4th run streak. I can probably do a mile easy on lifting days and my usual runs. If I actually do them 🤣

I went over calories last night because I don't do math in my head. At least not "complicated" math. I had like 310 calories left. I wanted ice cream. A serving of ice cream is 210 calories for 87g. So I weigh it out and go that should be close. I was only over by 95 calories so not bad! Sometimes I will actually do the…

I read that one a while back & followed the plan for a while. I struggled with it because I prefer my plan in miles over minutes. But it was a good plan/book!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Sounds like a fantastic time. Love Blues Brothers! Haha Shadow tried to do that during a zoomie last night!

I finished Library of Souls which was supposed to be the final book in Miss Peregrines Peculiar Children. There's now 2 more books! It's a good series. YA so easy to read but still interesting enough to keep attention. Next up How Bad Do You Want It by Matt Fitzgerald. Trying to get my headon straight for all the miles I…

I allowed myself to sleep in (as much as Shadow would allow), had coffee and oatmeal then headed out for my run. I'm definitely feeling better today. I think my body was rundown a bit yesterday. I took Shadow out around the block, not quite a mile then went on my own. I took it slow but managed to do my 12k (rounded to 7.5…

@shanaber We did about 5-10 minutes at a time. That's about alll she has attention for now. Weighed in this morning but only remembered after I drank half a cup of coffee. Same exact weight as last Sunday. I also took some measurements and compared to January. Lost 2.5 inches (.5 from waist and 2 from hips)

I've been trying to work with Shadow a little bit at a time on the agility. She can focus and do well for a few minutes but then she gets hyper focused on treats and can't do anything. I did get her to go through the tunnel several times. I practiced walking in circles and got her to do a couple figure 8s with 2 poles.…

@elise4270 Shadow does not know the definition of patience. LOL Headed out for a run today. I was going to do 12k but it was not my day. Shadow didn't want to go so I dropped her off after a mile rather than force her to go. She mostly wanted to go home because dad was still there. I almost didn't go back out but did. I…

Somehow she knows this is for her 🤣

I bought ice cream at the store Sunday. I am currently using it to cool down after my speed work. 🤣

Hope this link works. It's a good representation of the conversation we had yesterday? Day before? Can't recall. If it doesn't, it's on the iweigh FB page and Instagram (probably twitter too but haven't been on yet). https://www.facebook.com/303099170413287/posts/603699723686562/

We went Sunday morning. I wanted to get out of the house & finally had a mask. Nope, not doing that again. Our store didn't have one way aisles (some do around here). No one was practicing social distancing. People were completely oblivious that others were shopping and maybe wanted to go past them or grab something from…

Ugh I started a reply but got a call I had to answer and it disappeared. 😭 Shadow loves all foods & treats. Hahahaha She is hit or miss with recall. She knows it but she chooses when she will listen. She also loves being chased and has gotten out a few times. We learned to say you want a treat? Or you want a chewy? And she…

I only get back pain in my home office chair. It's not ergonomic for me. It wasn't a big deal before because I wasn't using it every day for 8 hours. And it's been worse the last few days because my period arrived last night. *sigh*

I ordered this for my home office chair. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0764HWFL3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Anyone used it or similar? Reviews and people have mentioned that it's helped their back pain from sitting. I also get butt pain. I have extra pillows on it for my butt right now LOL I…

@ddmom0811 I love your workout room! It's so neat and organized. Looks like a good spot for the peloton. I've got my stuff in 3 different spots. I workout in my living room so it's stored in 2 different spots out there and a few items in the guest room. I do pull ups & resistant bands in guest room door. I had my 3 tier…
