M.I.A.

Yes, I have been MIA lately with the blog and other things. I did not make my 10.4 in 2 weeks goal. Even though that challenge only ended a week ago, it feels like years. I think I ended up losing 4-5 lbs total. Which in 2 weeks is still pretty good. Eating well, exercise and Weight Watchers have totally gone down the shitter. This past week and a half have been a whirlwind. I got Buddy, the beagle and then last week Marc and I got a place together. I'm exhausted. Not that I would ever compare the care of a dog to the care of a child but I now have more sympathy for motherhood. The dogs (Buddy and Marc's dog Benson) are into everything--treats, the blinds, each other. And every time I come home there is a new wonderful surprise awaiting me. Yesterday it was they had managed to get in the closet and get out their bag of Canine Carryout treats and ate the WHOLE bag. I mean, I guess I too have at one (or several) points in my life consumed an entire bag of "treats" too (potato chips, oreos, cereal) so I could kind of relate but I was afraid they were going to get really sick. Thankfully they didn't but I am so exhausted when I come home for lunch or after work I don't want to eat right. Hell, we don't even have the groceries purchased if I did want to make that happen. So yeah, life is crazy right now but I'm sure I'll eventually get back on track. That reminds me, the only thing that I did not move yet from my mom's house is my scale. I'm debating moving it at all. It really is just pure evil in the form of electronics. However, I did find my Tony Little Gazelle in the garage and it made the move with me. I've never used it but can't wait to look like an infomercial by using it in the comfort of my own home. :)
