Day 3

Today was a good day! I did have the munchies all day, though. I work tomorrow from 12:30 to 7:00 so I won't have a chance to sit around the house and nibble all day. While I nibbled on semi healthy-ish foods, I still need to get a handle on it.

One of our dogs (Rockie - the Lab) has a vet appointment tomorrow. We have no idea what's wrong with him, but something's DEFINITELY wrong. He woke up limping one morning for no good reason...from what we could see. When we went to bed the night before, he was fine. As I said, the next morning he was limping and had no energy or appetite.

A couple days passed and the leg got better and his appetite returned a little. Rockie is a VERY spoiled dog, food-wise and will only eat certain foods...mainly ground meat, rice, and vegetables or in other words-human food. We had started to break him of that and he had even started to eat certain brands of dog food...that is up until that night. After seeing him start to lose weight from not eating the new dog food he liked, I decided to go back to feeding him ground beef and rice.

Well, that didn't stop the weight loss at all. He is getting VERY thin-so thin that we can see his spin and his ribcage! Plus he hardly has any energy. He and our other dog Champ (Pitbull) used to play all day and night. Now, Rockie just doesn't want to be bothered anymore. All he wants to do is lay around and sleep in Champs kennel all day.

I've been reading about heartworms and I hope to God that he doesn't have them. I am so angry at myself for not getting him on the heartworm prevention medicine.

Anywho, tomorrow hubby's taking him to the vet while I'm at work. I'll be anxiously awaiting the phone call to see what the problem is.

Oooookay, back to my day. For exercise, I ended up going to the gym. I thought I might've had to do one of my Walk Away the Pounds vids, but my hubby got home time enough for me to go. I did 23 minutes on the stationary bike and 30 minutes on the treadmill. I'm pooped!
