It Was The Ice Cream And Pie



The blueberry pie and homemade ice cream are long gone, but the extra calories are still around in the form of extra padding in certain unmentionable spots.  Not to mention the Bar B Q ribs, corn, burgers, chips, hot dogs.   It was all delicious when we were pigging out on it, but now ugh!


The Murph and I are not going down without a fight.  We went to the gym and worked out twice today and The Murph only drank a smoothie all day.  No food until dinner and then only protein.  I had to eat more than that, but I did more cardio at the gym to burn it off.  And no adult beverages of any kind.

These guys are always hungry.  A couple of them could use some exercise and a little less pie.  You can see in Phantom's face that he wants food now, not pictures taken.   I can imagine he's saying, "Put that camera down now dammit and feed me!  I'm starving to death here!"



We finally set up a home gym of sorts in the bonus room upstairs.  My old tri bike is on the compu-trainer and we have the treadmill and there's an assortment of dumbbells.  Our goal is to use it for extra evening cardio sessions in addition to our regular morning workouts at the gym.  As always, no matter where in the house I start taking pictures, it seems I disturb one of the cats.  This time it was Ed.  All comfy on the settee.  Make no mistake, this is Ed and Boo's room.  We are just visiting.



Ed's getting a little nervous with this strange contraption set up near his napping spot.


Ed was glad when I finally left him alone to get back to his nap.  Naps are very important when you're a cat.  My cats are very good at napping all day while we are awake and then staying up making noises and playing all night while we are trying to get our naps.


Also, the Boy is doing so much better!  I called Dr. W and he is going to work us in sometime this week.  I can hardly believe the difference in him since he started on the new meds last week.

  3. I can tell that you guys take your fitness seriously. I used to work out very often, but now I just walk a lot and it helps burn calories. I do on the other hand, love to eat. My weight hasn't changed much in the past 10 years so I can eat whatever I want without much worry, for now. Soon enough I'm going to have to start watching my diet, so for now I endulge on every thing I like.

    1. You must have a very fast metabolism. Mine use to be fast but now I have to do a little more and I can't eat everything I want. The Murph says he has a slow metabolism. He eats very healthy.

  4. Poor Ed! We found out at Christmas at my dad's that Doxy is terrified of bicycles. Or maybe it's bicycles in the house...

  5. It took the army forcing me to workout in order for me to exercise every day. I envy your willpower!

    1. If I had somebody forcing me to do it, I would never want to do it! I'm bad that way! (stubborn I guess) I have been doing short workouts every day. It makes me feel better. I need to be doing more longer training but I haven't signed up for any races so I am not motivated.
