dogs

Dogs, well we currently have a labrador dog (18mths old) called ACE, he is a beautiful boy and my walking conpanion when i drag my butt out of bed.
For the past few weeks hubby and i have been debating getting a second dog to keep ACE company cos we spend from 8am to 6pm away from the house moday to friday and he is getting lonely and distructive. So today we went to a work collegues house and had a look at her puppies, she has blue cattle dogs and they were just to cute to say no, we are bring home the puppy next week. So now its time to think of a new name for the pup, he is currently called budha, but there is no way im calling a dog budha. we are thinking King or Jack to keep the theme of cards since we already have the ace. Yes the pup is a male. has anyone got any ideas?????
Also today i have been ok with WW, i went for a walk up a very hilly driveway and have pulled down a fence. and not sure on points havent added them up yet, but i dont think i will be over.
anyways talk later fiona

Hubby and weekend blow out

Hey All,
Over the last week i have been fairly good, i have walked most days and even thrown in some little runs. I have increase the meters that i run each time i go out and it is getting easier. yeah for me.
Well i thought i would write something about my hubby, he is wonderfully supportive of me and my weight loss journey. For those who have read his comment in my last post will see how wonderful he is.
Dave has even offered to join WW with me if i think it would help.
I just want everyone to know what a wonderful hubby i have and i really apprieciate the help he is giving me.
On the weekend i had a bit of a blow out, i went out on sat night to see Adam harvey, a country singer, he was great and afterwards we went to the club, i had chips and chocolate and a few lemon lime and bitters, so there were a few extra points there that i shouldnt have had, and then after feeling pretty tired on sunday, i had kfc oops, its all good though cos im only human and you gotta have the odd occasional blow out only to get back on track the next day.
It is weigh in week and hopefully all the walking last week and the planned walking this week will take away the little weekends extra points and i can still maintain my 1.5kg loss in a fortnight. oh well wait and see.
have a good week all
