Fat Cat

I decided to take Fatty to the groomer's for a cut since he was looking a little scraggly! I try to get him cut at least 2 times a year, but I can say it had been way longer than 6 months since he's last visited. I decided to try PetSmart since PetCo said Fatty was too old (sad....) for them to take. PetSmart said they can only do a shave on cats, which I though was fine since his hair grows back pretty fast and gets everywhere in the process!
Well, here's a BEFORE look at Fatty's fluffiness-




















And now for the AFTER pose-


Does he look happy to you? I think he hates me....but he'll get over it! I try not to laugh at him too much but I can't help it! :)

Ohhhhhhh Nine!

So, the new year has begun and definitely pushed the blogging aside. But I'm back with some good stuff!
Technically, I didn't make a new years resolution but only because I don't want to be like everyone else and say I'm going to lose weight, get to the gym more, tone up and feel 100% better about myself! Don't get me wrong- I do want to do all these things, but there is so much more to this year than sticking to just one resolution that never makes it through to the next year anyways.
Something at church sparked my interest last week- GOALS ARE SIMPLY YOUR DREAMS SET TO A TIMELINE.
Everyone has dreams they would like to accomplish, but finding the time is the challenge. Or so we think... I think it's more challenging to convince yourself to follow through, than to actually find the time! It's a change of priorities, a change in thinking, a change to your set ways that you are oh so comfortable with. I want to change things- and make things happen, rather than watch this time pass by me so quickly- remembering that babysteps are key to making it through to the finish line.

So, My Goal: To feel good in my own jeans again!
My Babysteps: Don't buy any new jeans until Ican fit comfortably in my old ones! Not only get myself to the gym consistently, but eat better and make healthier choices for myself! Take it one day at a time, to one week at a time, to one month at a time!

I have let myself fall off the fitness track and it caught up with me quicker than I could have imagined! A reminder that I am getting older- and if I don't do anything now, it only gets harder the further I let it go! I am determined to not fail at this! We'll see how it goes...
