Weight in follow up

Ok, so it's been a couple of weeks since my dead line to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight, but I am happy to report that I'm 2 lbs away from my goal. I'm expecting to loose them with in a week, since I have now added jogging to my efforts to lose the weight. Last week I was sick for 5 days and that helped me loose about 3 or 4 lbs, I refuse to gained them back and this is the reason why I have gotten back to jogging. Yesterday was my first day, and I surprised my self, I was able to jog for longer that I'd expected. I walked from 1900 South all the way to 900 South and then jogged almost the whole way back. I had to stop at a couple of stop lights and then I was able to catch my breath to keep going. Tank did really good. I had been feeling really anxcious about getting back out there because during my pregnancy we had a couple of bad encounters with other dogs, one of them a wrotweiler and another one with a punny little dog that I hate! It always comes chasing after us, it's got some guts to be chasing after a big Germans Sheperd like Tank, and of course Tank goes crazy, he is very protective of the girls and I. One day I had to call animal control because the owners let it run around unleashed! Why do some people with small dogs think it's ok to do that!? GRRRRR! I got out there and almost turned around when we got close to where that little dog lives, but then I talked myself out of it and kept going, I figuered if it was out there now the owners would know that we are back and can put him back inside for the rest of spring and summer, ha-ha! Or else I am calling animal control again. Fortunately it wasn't outside and I think they saw us coming, so I'm expecting to have made my statement that Spring is here and so are we. Winters are really hard for Tank because he hardly gets walked, but I love it when it's starts getting warm and I have a feeling he does too. We are a good team. Tank keeps the freaks away, believe me no one dares coming near us with him by our side, the one day I did leave without him I got flashed by a freaking pervert! So I'm happy to have him even if he freaks out when he sees other dogs coming, the ones behind the fence he does not mind, we walk passed a doggy day care as part of our route and he acts as if none were, even when they are all barking and going crazy trying to jump the fence. The girls love it too, Naomi says hi and bye to everyone we see, her and Josie talk for the first little while and then Josie falls asleep, nice! So yeah, with a little support group like mine who would not enjoy going for a jog!?
