Good for you for sticking with your weight loss goals and having the motivation to do so.
I think you might need to post before and after shots.
And it seems like swings and roundabouts in regards to your leave. Glad you worked it out.
I KNOW!! The problem I am having is I have been soooooo camera shy these past few years - only taking pics of me from the waist up - that before pics are hard to come by!! But I am still looking....some of the before pics I have posted on page 6 & 7.....
** REST ASSURED though, that I WILL be posting my video taken of me while visiting the NBC studios last Sept up in NYC **
FYI -
I still cringe when I stop the video (of me doing a mock weather update) and see just how fat I was!! ** OUCH **!!
Ladybug's "before" pic (IMHO) would be best represented on posting #30
YOWZA!!
(she looks so much leaner now)
Yes - her before weight and after weight along with all my totals (including my starting weight and current weight, etc) will be broadcasted for all to see starting December 1st - I PROMISE.
P.S.
Had something rather strange happen to L.B. & I Tuesday night of this week.....
We were out jogging in 41 degrees with a 18-20 mph HEADWIND!!
(front was moving in)
WOWZERS!!
Did I ever feel we were BOTH jogging IN PLACE!!
ANYWHO -
OK RUBEN......so you have been given a reprieve on the NBC tuesday night tv show, "The Biggest Loser" eh???????

- LADYBUG -
** SHE IS NOW AT A 2.6 POUND WEIGHT LOSS **
I am so so so soooooo proud of her in regards of her weight loss journey as well as what we are doing together to not only lose weight but keep it off as well.
Moreover, she is also getting in on the fun out in our Rec Room by being more of an active participant on our Core workouts.
What's this u say??
Since she was beginning to get in the way of me doing leg presses and such, I got up from the bench and asked her if she would really like a "good washing" down (I was mock 'threatening' her to wash her down...so she would leave me alone and go about HER bizness).
Well, she would have none of that and just stood there and started a talkin' up a storm.
I said "THAT"S IT!! and followed through on my 'threat" which consisted me of getting into a squat position with her between my knees as I quickly massaged both sides of her using the inside flat part of my hand.
Well.....
My quads immediately felt the benefit of this......
next thing I know I had another one of those crazy ideas...
asked L.B. kindly
if ok to "pickup" and she replied LOUDLY
so to which...
still in the squat position -
I picked her up and made a funny "WHOAHHHH!!!!" sound and
moved her from my right to left -
then set her back down.
(I was lifting her up as high as I could) -
I Repeated that 10 times -
then moved on back to the washer machine 'position'
and did that a few times
and VIOLA!!!
Ladybug
gets what she wants
and my quads and my arms get one "H" of a workout!!
(I also switch arms and move her from left to right) -
Afterwards when all done in the Rec room, we head out into the backyard for a mean game of Fling and Fetch with one of her many chew toys or better yet.....a rock.
Yes, she loves to chase rocks - GO FIGURE.
Hey....what can I say, don't knock it until ya try it!!
(just remember...SAFETY FIRST)!!
Besides....all I have to do now (to break up my routine for something different) while working out is say, "WASHER MACHINE?" and she runs to her place close by the weight machine, turns around and speaks as if to say, "HURRY UP!! MY TURN FOR SOME FUN."
So now this is a part of our workout routine.
THANK U L.B.!!
Rest assured,
I am always out for her safety, even when we go out for walks -
mine too.
ROSE BOWL UPDATE:
Just got an email from the Pasadena Convention & Visitors Bureau
with Hollie Salinas giving me the impression that the Parade and Game 'people' really don't encourage backpacks - so looks like I get to be creative in lugging around me woolies, water bottle and such for the day.
Ah well, it is what it is.
I am still going to get in touch with VIP TOURS, (the vendor who will be handling my round trip ground transfers to and from the Parade as well as the Granstand seating for me) to see what they say on their end.
Quiet week - but things will pick up when I buy my Rose Bowl transpo per above next week then the following week, I will receive my travel docs from YMT VACATIONS!! - YYEEAA!!!!
UP NEXT:
MY plans for Departure Day -
P.S.
** GO RUBEN!! **
