My First Blog

I have thought about starting a blog for some time. My husband has encouraged me so that I can document and express my journey losing weight. I don't want this to be just about losing weight, I want it to be about life also. So for whatever it is worth, here it goes.

We have recently acquired a puppy. Now I am not a dog lover by any means, but the kids have been begging for a pet. The cutest puppy walked into our lives last week. I never thought that I would get so attached to her and so fast. I think it helps that she is extremely smart for a dog. I haven't had to do much in training her. She sleeps in her dog house with no problem, poops where I want her to and doesn't get all hyper and go crazy barking at everything. My only complaint would be that she keeps finding ways to get under my house. But that is a different story. I can say that I am happy that she walked into our lives. My kids love to play outside now, and they are getting over there skittishness over dogs. All and all, a good thing.

On a side note, I am proud to say that in nine weeks, I have lost 20 pounds. Woot!!!
