Absolutely nothing wrong with checking out fit gals at the gym. Carry on.  |

Congratulations on the puppy! How are you doing with it? I was hesitant about getting an indoor dog, but we did in November 2006. It took some getting used but she lights up our lives!

She's only 3 weeks old, so she won't be coming "home" until April 11! I'm nervous!!

I am always checking out the in shape women at my gym. I think it's nice to notice and appreciate people's hard work.

I was, too! It was, and is, so wrong in my parents' opinion to have a dog in the house. I felt I had committed a crime. It took about 3 months to adjust, but she is sooo worth it. I'll put her in my avatar again so you can see! Good luck! I'm happy for you!

I look at the girls too... I've always been terrible about comparing myself to others. Today there was this gorgeous girl in the gym... she was thin, but probably not very strong.. and she had her hair all down and pretty and make-up on... while i'm doing my HIIT after my lifting and sweating like a pig, haha. But it made me realize I've come a long way already... a few months ago I would have thought "Wow, I want to look like that" But now I think "Come on chikidee.. real women sweat! and get muscle! and don't walk around a gym like we're just modeling the fitness clothes!"
Though to be honest I still wouldn't mind having her bone structure, hahaha

Easy mom. Getting a dog is as natural as falling off a log.

Okay so first of all ROTFLMAO for the "not that there's anything wrong with that" comment. That was SO guy. 
In all seriousness I once saw this really old lady with a stunning body. She was sporting the latest fashion and looked amazing. I will never forget that encounter with her and have vowed to myself to be that sort of an inpsiration to young people as I age.
The puppy is adorable and she is going to adjust quite fine to your family and vice versus. There is nothing quite like having a puppy around.
Finally I didn't yet comment on the progress. Congratulations on the 1 month pictures. I expected to see much less progress given your illness too. You did amazingly well and should be proud. |

I was thinking 'Seinfeld' when I made the 'not that there's anything wrong with that'!
That's exactly how I felt aboout the lady at my gym. Simply amazing.
Well, the puppy and me will be family -- just the 2 of us!
Thank you for the nice comments. Right back at ya, girlfriend!

Woo hoo! Congrats on completing Stage 2!!! You are kicking butt.
How much snow have you gotten? We have gotten slammed and it is still coming down. I am getting cabin fever, already. LOL
Stay safe and warm, Jane.

Hooray for finishing up Stage 2! Aren't you so thrilled that these stages are shorter? Excellent motivation for braving the blizzard and hitting the gym for that final workout, it had to be the best feeling walking out of there AFTER you were done. We were right on that line of the storm and were predicted to receive 4-6", but we ended up with some flurries and sunshine, thank God! I don't know how much more winter I can take and I think the daily threat of wearing shorts is just the next bump I need to keep me going.
P.S. I totally got the Seinfeld reference, just didn't get the chance to comment before you explained it. LMAO!
