Tippy’s Lost Three More Pounds!
Boy are we glad to be through with the holidays! With all of the extra food temptations in the house it was not easy for Tippy. We caught her on more then one occasion counter surfing. But apparently we did a great job helping her stay on her path to health because this morning she weighed in at 57.8 lbs!
During the holidays we took over the walking since the kids and I were home and I have to say it was truly a challenge. Between the snow and ice (I fell on the ice more then once walking Tippy) and the bitter cold (I really do not like cold weather) it was not easy for any of us, including Tippy, to get motivated for a walk. Since this was Tippy’s first big snow we discovered she does not like snow but I have to give her credit for being a trooper. Not only did she manage to maintain her diet and exercise during the holiday season she also lost about 3 lbs.
She is looking great as she now has curves where she did not before and her energy levels are way up. What a great way to start the New Year!
