Yesterday was an emotional day for me. My old girl, Lucy (Huskie/Lab mix) passed away. I had taken her to the vets because she wasn't putting weight on one of her paws. The vet did an x-ray that showed no fractures or dislocations and only minor arthritis that would be expected in a dog of that age. I got her home and she fell on me, then got up and went and laid down by the door of the garage. I tried to get her to take the pain meds the vet had given me but she would eat or drink. She had a seizure and passed. I had been prepared when I took her to the vet that she would not be coming home with me, but to have her come home and then pass away, just tore my heart out.

5% Challenge Update

Yesterday we started  week 7 of the 8 week challenge.  I made it to my 5% goal in week 5.  I want to lose another 2lbs in week 7 and 8.  This week we are concentrating on reducing our salt.  Salt is in almost every food out there.  I have always said that I don't add alt to things but just reading the ingredients of some of my favourite seasonings I can see that yes I do add salt to things.  

NO BS Goal Weight Journal

 I have been making my plans and most days following my plan.  I am still working on getting my water in.  I am learning so much about my thoughts and feelings around food.
