Starting WW again

So, after going off Weight Watchers for 9 months, I've decided to go back on. So far so good. Just had my first week weigh in and I'm down 5lbs. Go ME!

It's been going well.

I'm lost about 1lb every week. It's great! Today, instead of walking the trail, I ran it. It's been so long since I've been able to run.. and I didn't jog.. I RAN! It was FUN!

Haven't been updating lately. Been so busy..

Another chance

We've decided to give Chloe another chance. She is lucky she's so darn adorable.

I'm going to continue walking her twice a day, if she goes a day without pooping, in the crate she goes. We've also moved the crate away from walls and furniture and we're securing it with extra locks so that she can't break out again. Eventually, I'd like to install an invisible fence around our yard.

Chloe (..continued)

I can't bring myself to do it.

Chloe

Today, Jason and I are giving Chloe to the local humane society to be adopted. I’ve been praying about this since we moved to PA. I don’t want to give up my little girl, but I feel that I don’t have a choice. I’ve been working with her for 5 months, walking her twice a day, praising her with treats, giving her commands, but she is still going potty in our house. I feel like I’m living in “Chloe’s House of Poo”. I could understand if it were an accident, but it’s not. She’s doing it on purpose. I take her outside, sometimes we walk for miles, then I bring her in the house and she hides behind the couch or in another room.
The final straw came the other night when I brought her inside and she snuck away to poop, then I put her in her crate for the night, and I was woken up at 3:00am to find our couch had been torn up, and she pooped again in the dining room. Somehow she had escaped and decided to leave a path of destruction through the house.
Moving to PA was supposed to be a fresh start for us. Nice new house, new carpet, new furniture (hand me down from his parents, but very new and nice to us.) and in 5 short months, Chloe has defintely left her “mark” on things. Jason and I want to have children in the very near future and I had to ask myself, “Do I want a baby crawling around on a poop floor?” No!
So today, we are taking her to the humane society. I hope that she will be adopted to another family, maybe they will have a back yard where she can run and play, maybe they will have the patience to work through her behavioral issues. That’s my prayer. I love her so much, this was not an easy decision.

I'm sabotaging myself..

It's Tuesday and I ate leftover Easter ham and mashed potatoes for lunch AND dinner, and then Jason brought me home some beef and broccoli chinese food after he went golfing today and I ate that TOO! Ugh! (And I ate that while watching The Biggest Loser, what is wrong with me?) This week is going to be bad. I really need to exercise hard this week and drink as much water as I possibly can. I'm pissed off at myself.

I do have great news though, Jason has been consistently losing weight every week. He's down 1 pant size and all his pants are baggy in the back side. We're gonna need to get him some new dress slacks and belts soon.

Setbacks

I was expecting a 2lb weight loss on Monday morning, instead I got a 2lb GAIN! Ugh! I think it's just water weight because of the salty Easter ham on Sunday. I've been doing pretty good.

It's time to get back to basics. More tracking, less procrastinating.

In other news, I walked a 5K yesterday! It felt amazing and completely exhausting! It was a gorgeous day though, and I couldn't pass up the opportunity. Trying to stick with the exercise motivation I've got going on, I woke up this morning and took a walk at sunrise with my girls.

Here's some pictures from my 5K walk yesterday:
