Kaitie's Open Diary

*crying* I feel horrible....I'm hoping that my brother will be able to take him in. He's been wanting a little puppy since his other dog died, I really don't want to send him back to the shelter.
 
I can understand not wanting to send him back to the sheltet... here's hoping your brother will take him. I'm so sad for you! It's not your fault though, you didn't know you'd be this allergic.
 
can you get antihistamines?
I have a cat but im fairly allergic to it. If i havnt had antihistamines and handle him my eyes swell closed, i itch, i sneeze non-stop.
I just got some tiny pills i take once a day and hey presto :)


Apparently there is an injection that lasts a couple months - but you put weight on if you take it lol
 
Ok. Well the good news today is that I haven't been touching the puppy as much and haven't let him anywhere near my face and I seem to be doing ok, he was also outside a lot today and we gave him a bath. I haven't needed my 'rescue' inhaler all day. I took Benedryl this morning but nothing since. I got the coming ons of a headache after my workout but I seriously think my ponytail was too tight (sadly, I do that very often). I'm going to give it until Saturday, if I'm still alive I'll keep him. Oh and yes, the cats are coming around. The funny thing is the one that I thought would hide forever was the first one to come out and sniff him.

Ok, onto the major issue of weight loss. I had avoided the scale at the gym for a while now because I didn't want it to 'prove' my scale was wrong or 50 pounds off but today I stepped on it and Yippee!!! Our scales say the same weight 195.5 (which is what I weighed this morning on my scale, yes I cheated the FSD). So even with mother nature here I'm down 1/2 a pound from Friday which probably is a lot more than that because of all the water weight. Anyway.... John's down 8.5 pounds, I'm down and even 8 pounds--wahoo what a bunch of losers we are!!

Gotta walk the dog :)
 
YAY!! I hope you can keep him!! Maybe you are allergic to his saliva. My friend is allergic to dogs saliva and breaks out whenever she is licked.
 
does that mean you'll keep him? I hope so. maybe u should test what it is u're allergic to him. cause my boyfriend is allergic to cats but not their hair or saliva but mites or something that live on the cats. I hope you can keep him and that he'll play nicely with ur kitties.

congrats on the 8 pounds thus far. You're doing splendidly. :)
 
Thanks everybody! *feels loved*

So far so good today. The kitties are getting more brave and hopefully Fausto will stop chasing them, well, he just wants to sniff them but they aren't going to let that happen so they run and well...he runs too. :)

I really enjoy the support, encouragement, and friendships that are present on this forum....it makes the whole weight loss situation loads easier....Thanks!
 
Hi, Kaitie,

Sounds like you're doing great! I've looked through your diary a bit. The dog is a cutie. You have a pic of your cat? I have two cats, but no dog. My hubbie is also kind of doing the dieting thing with me, but he can't be my buddy because he drops weight so fast, and I'm a slow looser. ;)

you're doing great with exercise! Keep it up!
 
I most certainly do have pictures of my prettay-kittays!

Ok, first we have Bella (or as I call her Bellini Houdini). This cat can get up, in, around, on, or over anything--and I mean anything!


Next we have Charlie. He is probably the most spoiled cat you'll ever meet but he's so lovable and fuzzy! Here he is eating food out of my hand:


Next is my pretty girl Sarah. She is not liking Fausto one bit but last night at 3:00 am she crept into the bedroom past the sleeping dog and woke me up just to have me pet her. :) In this picture she's mighty comfy sleeping with her head in my coat sleeve.


Last but not least my little talker...Heidi. If you say 'speak', she'll meow. If you talk to her she'll answer...she even kitty barks (yes, it's a sight to be seen). I love how she has half a white lip and half a black lip..which is clearly visible in this picture. I caught her in mid-meow, it looks like she's saying 'hey!'


So beyond my pet obsession. Working out was ok, a little boring. I couldn't wait for my mile to be up. Hopefully next week I'll get back into a more gung-ho mood. But I'm still going and still trying to meet my goals. I weigh in tomorrow but I'm not really expecting anything because of mother nature...we'll see. :)
 
They are the cutest kitties! Two of my cats are a bit like the first two of yours - one is houdini, she can twist in the most unnatural poses, and the other one completely spoiled big and fluffy, and he knows exactly how to give you the cutest look so you can't avoid petting him. Have to say, cats really learn how to push your buttons when they want something. :)

Good job on sticking through boring exercise! I can so relate to that! Sometimes just one more minute seems as an eternity!
 
Thanks!!

Yes, that last minute or for me....last tenth of a mile seems like fooorrrreeeeeverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Hopefully today will be better.

We're still up in the air about giving Fausto back. John's not helping because he's not giving me a straight answer.
 
awwh. he's probably torn like you. he knows he probably should but he likes Fausto.

your cats all look very cute... except for Sarah Jane... ^_^; Who I can't see at all cause her head's under a cushion. heheh. heh. but that's pretty cute in itself. ^_^
 
Ok, so it's been a weird weekend. My brother-in-law has lived with us for a little over a year now (witchy wife dumped him and left him flat broke) and every two weeks his kids get to spend the weekend with him, so you can imagine--a new puppy and two munchkins running around...I feel like there hasn't been a moment's peace. Fausto has been growling at them and even took a nip at Gabriella :( I just don't think that I'm a dog person. We took him to my sisters yesterday for my brothers b-day party (had a piece of cake-yum) and he made everyone there fall in love with him---although none of them could remember his name. Actually everyone game him a different name! Fausto became; Cosmo, Bingo, Fasto, Festo, and Fungo. I'm hoping that my brothers (who admittedly is the person I want Fausto to go too) kids will convince him to take the puppy. *everyone cross your fingers*

I'm starving...I need some lunch.
 
Ok props needs to go out to John who got up and went to the gym and left my lazy arse at home. Kudos to me for realizing that I'm a lazy arse and getting up and going to the gym even though John had left already and I could've just stayed home.

Met all my goals for this week. I will do some form of mileage this week, whether it's walking on the treadmill or biking...or even the dreaded elyptical machine!! I increased the weight on the sit-up machine to 65 pounds and I'm doing 125 sit-ups now. (well 126 to reach my goal for next week) I want that flat tummy!

On a funny note, Fausto doesn't seem to like my violin playing....he runs and hides and barks until I stop! I know I suck but there's something about a dog not being able to handle it that makes it very very sad :)
