    Day 37

    Weigh in today was 283, which is down 1 pound for the week, and 8.8 pounds total. So far I've lost at a rate of about 1.6 lbs per week. I'd like to lose faster, but I'm just delighted that I'm losing at all. Especially considering the somewhat halfassed way I've been doing this. Portion sizes: I'm doing pretty well on this part. The times I have larger portion sizes, I'm aware of it and I count it. I've found that reasonable portion sizes really aren't that bad at all! I used to always get a foot long sub at…

    We have a name!

    Maxwell D. Trouble. The D stands for decibel, and we just call him Max. He has a vet appointment today, and hopefully when he's cleared we'll let him loose.

If Jake moves too fast, Max puffs up, but there has been some nose touching, and Max has been considering the possibility of a tail attack. The elder cats howerver, are unimpressed. I'm hoping the intruder at the least will make Pandora and Mai-Lyn if not buddies, at least allies.

    Uh oh…

    Just got a call from my husband. He went to his parents this weekend to bring his dad a virus and trojan free computer. Apparently there's a little tabby kitten who has chosen Rob as his person. Keep your fingers crossed that the little guy is feline leukemia/HIV free and is accepted (or at least tolerated) by my bitch-kitty Mai-Lyn. Six hours until kitten invasion!
