Dog Park!!

I was told a dog park was going to be built when I moved in October and it's all done!! Ethan was super happy to run in the park! But I think, regardless of his 40 minute power walks with me, he's outta shape! At least in regards to him catching the ball on the 2nd bounce, which is his trade mark.

He was so happy! But after about 10 good throws, he was getting tired.  Now he's sleeping on his favorite chair and zonked out.

The weather has been strange lately.  I've worn shorts 3x officially, and the past two times I did, a few days later it dropped from 70 to 40.  Today, while a bit windy, was definitely shorts weather.  Of course it's supposed to drop by early next week!

I met with my trainer yesterday and he joked that I brought the MN weather to VA.  When I said the word, "Minnesota" he goes, "Woah! That's the first time I heard your MN accent!". It's weird, I don't have an accent (says everyone) but whenever I say the word "Minnesota" aloud, people notice it.

Meanwhile, I've been complaining that my bum is gone! Never had a HUGE one, but it was decent.  I finally dropped down to a size 8 officially (meaning an 8 in all brands, different stores) and I'm happy about that since my goal is a size 6.  But I'm now thinking the inches I've lost were from my bum because the scale keeps going down 2 lbs, up the same 2 lbs.  I have been focusing on strength training and I'm so much stronger, stronger in the upper body especially.  I guess this is good, but my rear looks like a pancake.  I never noticed it until yesterday and I swear it wasn't like this a month ago!! I've been doing a lot of squats to keep it perky but I must have burnt chub instead? I heard that you loose the places you want to loose first, last and that's definitely true! My fingers have shrunk from a 7 to a 5, my shoes from a 7 to a 6.5 and now my bum!!

Looking forward to Zumba tonight!
