The End of 11 weeks

Like most of you know I have already blog about my life changed regarding keeping active. I started this strong 11 weeks ago and it has really paid off.

I bought Bob Greene Daily journal and started writing down what I ate and what exercises I did everyday. Most would think this is very time consuming. It was at first but than you just leave it open in the kitchen and you start writing it down before thinking.
I notice when I wrote things down than it made me think twice about the second plate of food or a large brownie Sunday. I still ate what I liked but just small amounts and controlled. We still went out to eat and had ice cream but not as often.

So after my first 11 weeks here is my results
Lost 18 pounds
Lost 3 inches in the chest
Lost 2 inches in the waist
Lost 2.5 inches in the hips
Lost 2.5 inches in my right thigh and 1.5 in my left thigh (yeah a inch different...who knows???)

So today.... I am buying another Bob Greene Journal and hope to lose another 20 pounds and more inches in my next 11 weeks.

"The Dog Slummer Party"

We had a fun filled weekend in Kentucky this weekend. We loaded up on Friday with the two dogs and head south to my aunt and uncle's home.
I forgot to take pictures however they already have four large dogs and combined with my two little dogs it was a wonderful Dog Slummer party. It took about 24 hours for them all hitting it off and roll and play through out the house. Now the dogs are home....I wont see them moving or playing until Wednesday.

Besides the dogs we had tried three wonderful restaurants that was great! The pie shop was such a hit we ate there twice. Yes....the diet was out the window ......WAY OUT OF THE WINDOW..... So much...I couldn't even know how to count the calories.

But I want to give a BIG THANK YOU TO MY WONDERFUL AUNT AND HUSBAND.....for inviting us this weekend!!!

HOT HOT HOT


If you live in the Midwest you know what I am talking about.

Its been so hot! This is the time you wished you had a pool in your back yard and if you don't have one you are hiding in your house to stay cool. However, I have two little white dogs that LOVE the sun/heat. They both asked to go out at the same time in the middle of the day and walk out and just lay down in the grass. They wont move or even want to do anything but just lay in the sun. I end up having to pick both of them up and carry them into the house.

CRAZY DOGS!!!!

Kids say the darnest things

You always hear the most entertaining words or phases from children.

I went to my parents home last Sunday to visit my dad on fathers day. My brother and his family was there as well. His little 3 year old girl always have a hard time remembering my name but always knows who I am. She always loves my shoes and wants to wear them, or carry around my purse or look at my necklaces.

However, this conversation was slightly a little different.

She hoped right on my lap and was excited to talk to me. So she sat facing me and put her hands on my boobs and said "Can I see your boobies?" SERIOUSLY ?!?!?! I was in SHOCKED that she even said or even asked me. I turn to her mom that was sitting next to and asked her "Did she just asked to see my boobs?! and she laughed and said yep it did sound like she did.

She can wear my shoes, have one of my purses or even have one of my necklaces but she is not going to see my boobies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I need to buy a Lottery Ticket

Its my lucky day.....

A. I had a interview with a company downtown Indy - it went real well....so easy and it didn't seem hard at all.

B. I came home to a email from a company in Warsaw that wanted to set up a interview. However, the company is 2 hours away from my home so I had to turn it down

C. Later in the afternoon the company I interview with earlier called and asked for a 2nd interview for tomorrow afternoon.

D. I check my email again and another company wanted to set up a interview with me and to contact them with some times that I would be open.

The Economy must be turning around or something.

I have 2 perfect dogs and didnt even know it.....


Yes, this is right two almost perfect dogs.

Our puppy Bo (also known as #2) is almost potty trained at 15 weeks (or maybe 16 weeks....). The reason I say almost is because no one is perfect. He hasn't gone for a while in the house and he knows to sit in front of the glass door and quietly asked to go out. I have put him in his cage and there has been no issues. He was making himself sick while sitting in the cage but now the cage is sitting in the living room, he has made it up to 7 hours with out a potty mess.

Than today, he had his vet check up and he did so good. He sat right next to me and just sat in the Jeep. No jumping, moving around, crying or trying to look out the window. It was like a brand new dog sitting in the Jeep beside me today. Normally he is hyper and ready to play but as soon as his butt touch the seat he was relaxed and even fell a sleep while I ran to the bank and ect.

So this weekend when we go to KY he will be more than ready for the long ride down south.

Now the other dog....well we all know Bella (also known as #1) is perfect as is. I think she is the one training him if you ask me.

Bo and Bella


Our 15 week old baby westie boy is growing.

Potty training is at a 90 percent and is letting us know every time he has to go. However, how many times he goes is the question. For fun and to prove to everyone how many times I walk outside a day with the dogs I counted throughout the day.

It was almost 25 times a day!!!!

He has not learned to do all of his bathroom busy in one trip. He might go #1 than come in for 10 minutes than asked to go out again for #2. However, he has took Bella's lead alot and I hope soon he starts acting as perfect as Bella.

The most important thing is Bella loves to play with him and they like taking naps together (but Bella wont let him share the same pillow though).

Stereotype

In the past week I have been approach by two different people in two different places, asking about my Kids. yes I said my kids, What kids do you ask? I would like to know that answer too.

One man said something to me at Kroger saying I should take two OJs because I need enough for my kids. I just kind of laughed and said no kids just a husband.

Than I was walking (like always do) some little girl stopped me and asked how many kids did I have and which kids on the block was mine.

SERIOUSLY!!!! Just because I am a female in her mid 20s doesn't mean I have kids or will have kids. I take pride in knowing I am the first in my family that didn't have a child before age 18 and went to college and got married in my mid 20s.

To answer many friends and family's the gold question "Will Cody and I have children?"

Answer: We have Bella and Bo at this time.

Hangover

Last night my husband and I had two good friends come over for a birthday dinner. We made a honey baked chicken that was sooo good.

However, the best part of the night was the movies. We decided during dinner we all wanted to see the new movie "Hangover". I had seen on facebook where people was going to the movies two or three times just to see this movie again. In this economy I thought it had to be good to see once than.

So we showed up and the show was sold out however we waited 30 minutes for the next show. This movie is THE BEST MOVIE I HAVE SEEN IN A LONG TIME. I laughed during the whole thing and I don't think I have ever laughed so hard throughout a movie EVER!

I would highly recommend watching the movie. I laughed during Wedding Crashers and this was at least 2 or 3 times better.

Happy Birthday to...............

Happy Birthday to my mother in law and me!!!

Yep, that's correct... my mother in law and I both share the same birthday. Whats the odds???

When I was dating my husband, my mother in law asked when my birthday was through a conversation through a instant messenger. I told her June 11th. she replied back "No, when is YOUR birthday" I said "June 11th is my birthday". She said no way.....THAT'S MY BIRTHDAY TOO.

To bad my husband couldn't even remember either of our birthdays at that time and had no clue that his best two woman in his life shared the same birthday date. LOL

Is this my Lucky week?

I have been unemployed for about.......4 months. I might of heard from a small handful of employers out of the 70 or 80 jobs that I have applied for. Last week I applied for more jobs (like always) and I had two companies called me already this week with phone interviews. Both companies want to move quickly and start in person interviews by the end of this week or beginning of next.

It feels like I am breathing fresh air just to hear from a employer and know that they are really are looking at my resume.

Keep your fingers across.

I cant be on the phone with out him trying to Bark (aka talking to Bella). Barks at grass outside, the next door dog, the kid on the bike and when Cody comes home.

Does No News mean Good News?

I had a job interview with a very known company last Thursday. The interview lasted about three hours and they told me that I would get a call in a week to let me know either way. They said they didn't like making people wait around for a phone call.

Its been one week and one day. No news so far.

Fell of the wagon

I am so mad at myself today. I bust my ass every day doing something. Hitting the gym, taking a hour walk, doing a workout video (which I feel like I am going to die before the end) and after gallons of sweat and drink gallons of water.....I fall of the wagon and ate a huge chocolate chip, cookie dough blizzard ice cream.

So today as I am working out with my video feeling like a fat cow.....I was getting so pissed at myself!!! I should of hold off and waited until my birthday which is in 6 days.

I shouldn't of ate it since I haven't lost weight in the last three weeks.

Bella is a Big Sister


My husband and I are huge dog lovers and we currently think of our dog Bella has our child. We have her train to be perfect with barely any issues from her.

Like normal, Bella and I was on a walk around the house addition when we ran into a older man and a puppy Westie. I stop had small talk with him and told him that we loved our Westie and they are great dogs. We causally walked away and went home.

Saturday morning my husband went to walk our wonderful dog Bella, when he notice a truck a few houses down that he never seen before. But he just turn the other way and continue to walk Bella. They man started his truck and pulled up to Cody and asked if he could talk to Cody. Cody thought okay...but was a little threw off by him a bit. He continue to tell my husband that he had spoke to me earlier in the week and he had a 12 week old westie as well. There he was sitting in his lap and Cody said oh yes. Well the man just found out that current week that he had cancer again. And he could not care for the puppy due to going into the hospital in a few days and would be down for 5 to 6 months. His wife worked full time and couldn't take care of him and the new puppy. He wanted to know if we would want him. As the man was very emotional and his eyes watering up. My husband could not say no.

During this time I was in the shower and had no idea this all had token place. I come down with my husband standing in the kitchen telling me this story and that the man left to grab all of the puppies belongs.

By 9am on Saturday morning we had wrote a large check and gain another white furry son named BO. And for Bella......She has done real good with him and taught him she is in control and if he would follow her lead than he will do fine.
They play together all of the time and have torn up about 3 toys so far.

Unemployment

I join the world of Unemployment back in February when my company closed their doors. They first laid me off a week before I left for Las Vegas to get married and then when I got back my boss was trying to get me back to work. However, we all got a call early Friday morning on February Friday 13th that at 5pm we would be closed for good. (Thanks for the heads up).

So, the reason for the blog was to welcome everyone that is unemployed and wish everyone luck on finding a new career or job.

At first I wasn't worried because I was going to organized my life as a new wife, paint a few rooms in my house, clean out closets that needed to be cleaned, finish building our patio outside. Well, now 4 months later that's been done for about 2 months ago and I am still sitting around applying for jobs and ran out of money and things to do.
