Today starts a new beginning. One in which I try to gain control of a little weight that has been hanging around for far too long.
Once upon a time, a thin and exceptionally athletic body stood before me. This body could keep up with the best of them, often times others that were much larger and more powerful. But the squirt kept going. An Energizer bunny people would exclaim.
But sadly, as we with children know far to much about, things got out of control. Finishing this one's leftovers or snacking with the kids. Eating on the run. Until one day, you look down and no longer recognize the body one is living in. You are a couch potato dreaming of the next bon-bon dropped your way.
So we take a stand! Against fat! To drop that snack and just say no !
Here, as I stand before you, I am taking back the fat! I declare the weight-loss challenge of a lifetime. To lose just about 1/3 of total body mass. To gain muscle back. To get the body that was once there.
I declare war!
Let's start off with a little before picture......and please, take into consideration how embarrassing this is as I turn my back to hide the tears.....
And this, my friends is my daily allowance..........
after having free access to this...............
And now I have to wear this.............
in pink, none the less......so the sweat will stay out of my eyes as I work out with this............
APPARENTLY.........I am supposed to roll around on this like some doggy yoga on crack!
Oh, where has my dignity gone!
Please, I am begging you.....someone call animal control. A life of squaller has got to be better than this.
Stay tuned next week! Our first weigh-in! Yippee!
Oh for all that is sacred in the world of chihuahuas...your baby looks like The King. Please post a picture of that precious face. I must see the eyes, the windows to that special soul...she could be The Queen to my Kingy...POST HER FACE PULEEEZE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a cat that some say is a little too heavy. Ticks me off when people say that.
