[Dailydrool] my fitness trainer, gus

in response to the DH who wanted to walk the houndies after work:
our gotcha day was last October 1.  being the newbie at this dog  stuff, i 
didn't know a thing, but knew that i had to walk the dog.  so we  started 
taking walks immediately, twice a day.  we stroll and sniff and  stop and 
repeat.  but i had gone to the doctor the day  before our gotcha day for a 
checkup and then went again 3 months later on  January 4 and much to my shock, i 
had lost 11 pounds and that was over the  holiday season!  so with that 
push-off, i figured, what would happen if i  made more of an effort than walking 
twice a day?  so i cut the carbs and  eliminated the sugar.  well, long 
story short, i have lost 41 pounds!   my total cholesterol is 145.  my blood 
pressure has always been good and  stays at 110 over 70, and last month, at my 
3 month check-up, i was taken off my  diabetes medication!  i have not 
weighed in the 140's since i was a teen! 
this, i know for a fact, is all because of my darling gus.  he not  only 
gave me a reason to walk, he has given me a reason to live healthy, so that  
we have a long life together. (his 4th birthday is friday) 
(the downside is i have given every single piece of clothing i own to  
friends and have had to get a whole new closet of clothes, but let's face it,  
shopping is fun but  COSTLY.
meanwhile, there's a lot more room in the bed for gus, so he's happy!
i will always credit him with the wake-up call he gave me and will do  
everything in my power to keep him as healthy as he can be. i love him with all  
my heart.
susan, loving slave to gus
