congratulations on the 7 pounds!
I think I might be starting to get cateracts....my sight is not as good as it used to be.
sigh

I'm starting to get cataracts at 36. My eye doctor says everyone starts to get them as they age. He said it's very important to protect your eyes from the sun so they don't get worse.

I need to get a new pair of glasses...
I should have bought a new pair about 3 years ago. I'm due for an exam in April. I looked at frames while I was waiting for the eye doctor on Friday and didn't find anything that interested me. So I guess I'll have to look elsewhere.

I don't think Rocky is feeling well because he's not eating like a pig as soon as I put the food down like usual, and there was a lot of food left in the dish last night and this morning when I went to feed them. I did see him eat a little this morning though. I scooped the box out this morning, and everything was normal... same amount and type of pee and poops for all. He was very sociable last night, and affectionate with me this morning, so I don't know what's going on. I'll give the cats some Greenie's treats later and see if he can eat them... maybe his teeth hurt. He's 11 now?

My husband was talking about his bread cravings last night, so I saw my opening to offer him a more conventional diet, and he went for it. He knows he's only going to get whole grain bread, but he's still into it. I made him a turkey bacon BLT on a whole wheat pita for lunch today, and I'm sure he'll find it a nice change of pace from all the salads he's been getting.

I have an early appointment tomorrow, and will probably do food shopping afterwards. I'm going to try to make his change of diet an "add-to" situation, rather than a whole different animal, so shopping and cooking will be easier for me.

i hope he is eating now. of course you know about nutrical which Pudge wouldn't toouch this time, My friend yesterdy told me there is a cat flu going around. 450 cats have been infected or something like that. I am also putting pedialyte in their water.

Yesterday I gave Rocky and Buddy a couple of little pieces of turkey bacon in the morning and 2 Greenies each in the afternoon, and Rocky was chewing like normal. He was at the food bowl a lot yesterday, and by the time I went to feed them last night the bowl was empty, so I think he's over whatever was plaguing him. I'm very relieved :)

It started snowing late yesterday afternoon, and it snowed all night, but the snow is tapering off now. We only got 2-3 inches though (?). I have an early MD appointment at 8:30 this morning and will have to clean off my car, battle rush hour traffic, and trudge through some snow/slush to get there. I know that the steps and walkway here will not be clear by the time I leave, and that worries me. I had to deal with the same **** last week, but there was a lot more snow.

I planned on going food shopping after my appointment, but it's going to have to wait until at least the afternoon, or possibly tomorrow. I'm sure the roads are clear by now, but the parking lots are probably a mess.

I weighed myself this morning, and for the first time in a long time, I'm in the 140's (barely) at 149.8lbs, so I've lost 8.2lbs :)
I'm a little surprised since I got into the chocolate chips I use for baking cookies last night. I remembered they were there, and I could not help myself lol. I will have to resist getting a donut when I drive through to get my coffee this morning... so hard.

Kay you are doing so well! congratulations for getting back into the 40's!!!!!!!!
whew!
I can't wait till I am there with you.
I don't need to tell you to be safe because I know that you will be careful.
let the safety angels be with you today.

so thrilled about rocky! yea

I had trouble with the walkway here yesterday morning, but my car was easy to clean off, the roads were clear, and traffic wasn't heavy. I arrived at my appointment 20 minutes early, which is fine by me.

I did get a donut. I never should have eaten those chocolate chips. I shot myself in the foot... eating something sugary only causes more sugar cravings. I won't gain weight because of the donut, but I probably won't lose any/much either for the next few days because of it.

I didn't go food shopping yesterday because once I got home I had no motivation to go back out. I will have to go today though. My list is really long, so I'm going to cut it down, and plan on going shopping earlier next week. I should go to PetSmart to buy the cat food and litter, but I may just buy it at the grocery store because I don't know if I'm up for the trip today.

I go through a lot of coffee. The grocery store I go to sells the K-Cups I use for a really good price that's hard to match or beat online, but I caught a sale yesterday and bought 144 of them and saved about $20. It seemed like a lot of money up front, but it makes sense given how much coffee I drink.

I forgot to tell you guys I finally got a new faucet in the kitchen!!! It took 5 calls to maintenance because the old one was constantly leaking to get it, but I finally got it. Now they can come fix the stove because the burners still keep going out on me, but they've only been here 3 times to fix those, so I guess it will be a while before that problem is taken care of.

no one doughnut will not kill your dieting efforts.:eek:
Don't they actually say one cheat day here and there helps???
I am glad that you outing to your appointment got you there early.
Yea! you got a new faucet!!!
Now you can keep calling about your stove. You should not have to call 5 times, but if that is what it takes then make those calls, put your complaints in writing!
