Body-for-LIFE Challenge
Leigh-Ann and I have decided to take the plunge and attempt to win a million bucks in the Body-for-LIFE Challenge. No, we don’t really expect to win, but it sure would be nice. We’re not starting until next month - after Auntie Hilda’s 90th birthday party at N9NE (she’s hip, doncha know?), my brother’s birthday, ZOOperstars at the 51s game and CoffeeFest. So, we’ll probably be starting somewhere around June 6 and finishing up our twelve weeks on August 29, with our fabulous new bodies. Unless I win, no one is seeing my “before” picture, and I may not even show my “after” picture either. I plan to stick to it for the whole twelve weeks though. I like the idea of one day off every week. It appeals to the Papa John’s lover in me. And hey, if you come across my blog and plan on doing it too, leave a comment. The more the merrier.
It’s Day 3 of the Doggie Pheromone experiment on Cricket’s hyper terrier anxiety issue. I’m shocked to admit that it’s working. Today, when we went out, she didn’t bark…at all! I’m the biggest skeptic of things like this, but I’m seriously impressed so far. I don’t much like the cost, but it’s worth it for the silence we’re enjoying at breakfast every morning. No more yipping. It’s remarkable. I hope I’m not jinxing it.
Today we also bought the Kitty Pheromone spray to see if it would help the cats mellow the heck out. Cats are so damned weird. Frank is so sweet, yet Jackson is such a butthead with him. Even Derek, who is a cat in dog’s body (he likes having his belly rubbed) is sucky with Frank. Chelsea just hides, so she isn’t much of a problem. She did have a funny standoff with Eli, the German Shepherd, the other night. First, a stare down. Then, she kept coming out from behind the bar, walking in front of Eli, and then going back behind the bar. She seemed to be daring Eli to do something about it. Eli whimpered a bit, but since she likes cats, remained well-behaved.
