My dogs are barking

So I walked today before work...and again later this evening. Why did I walk so much? I'm not sure to be honest. I just felt like it. I won't feel like doing all that again tomorrow though, I know that much.

So bad news. Gertrude has lost another 15lbs. She is now at a weight loss of 35 pounds - and she started her diet around the same time as me. (If you're confused on who Gertrude is....scroll down to read my Gertrude post. And shame on you for not reading all my posts!). Now, it might seem mean that I'm not wanting her to lose weight, but I swear - the girl is actually boasting about it. It's all she talks about and it's annoying. I want her to go away. Or get fat.

I've been listening to audiobooks a lot lately. I downloaded an app called Overdrive and it allows me to check out audiobooks or e-books from my library whenever i want. It's freakin awesome! So when I get tired of music, I download a book and listen to it. I've usually got a book playing all day at work, and lately, when i've been walking. Today I listened to a biography called 703 - How I Lost a Quarter Ton and Gained a Life, by Nancy Makin. Normally I hate non-fiction, but this one sounded interesting. It's basically about a lady who got up to 703lbs and then lost a bunch of it. Her story is actually really interesting. It also made me realize that I never ever want to be bigger than what I started this diet at.

Tomorrow it's supposed to storm. I'd like to go walking, but staying at home and reading a good book while it's raining out is a rare treat. I guess it will be up to mother nature. I might even do a few rain dances to sway her - it wouldn't hurt. :)
