Oh look!!

It's not a cat :)

Just my drive home earlier this morning.
I wonder what tomorrow will dawn...

I thought I'd copy another and admit I'm fat.  Yup, fat.

I made a solid decision to actually care about this on May 30th.

My starting weight....no shit, 180lbs.
My goal weight = 140lbs
By the day I turn 40 (November)

So far, I'm on the right track, eating a low carbohydrate diet and my energy level is such that I'm getting things done and in turn putting in some good exercise me style.  Wish me well.

We currently have 15 little kittens poking around the house that I have either bottle fed for the past month or so or kittens that were very sick and are now getting better.  10 of them are on track for spay/neuter in the next 2 weeks baring all goes well.  2 are tiny little things...with HUGE personalities.  The other 3 are hissy little things with more work to go.

& you thought there would actually be no mention of cats!!!!
HA
