WIN The Cool Pet Pad Ends 7/21/10

The Cool Pet Pad is a great way to keep your pets comfortable during the summer – and it’s super easy to use.

I’m not sure how they do this, but the pad is weight/pressure activated. So as soon as your pet steps on it, the pad gets cool. It doesn’t need electricity, water or refrigeration. There’s nothing to refill.

It will last for years and years and the only maintenance needed is if it gets dirty, I might need to wipe it clean. That’s it.

Just set out the pad and let your pets enjoy it’s cooling relief. It’s good for when the weather is hot or for when your four-legged friend is achy or in pain due to hip displasia or a skin or other medical condition . (yes…it can also be used as an extra large cold pack for humans!)

We all know that cats have a mind of their own… I wasn’t sure if the Cool Pet Pad would be good for my finicky felines or if it would just be good for the dogs. So I set it out last night. The cats had to check it out, since it was new. But they didn’t use the Cool Pet Pad. Then this afternoon when it got hot, where did I find the cats? On the Cool Pet Pad. Both of them were trying to get as much of the cool as possible.

The Cool Pet Pad comes in 4 different sizes. It can be used at home, in a crate or in the car. This is a great way to help keep your pets more comfortable.

And…. it’s quite nice for humans, too!

Week 7 Weigh In Today

I am not so thrilled at the slow loss but I suppose it is better than being 10 lbs heavier. Thus far, I have lost 9.8 lbs. This week, I maintained. I thought I would gain so I was happy but it would have been a 'gift' to see even a slight loss.

Last night, I had a HUGE NSV! I went to a Yankees game and did not have a hot dog, beer or any other snack! I had some chicken before I left and a water on the way and was so proud of myself! GO ME!

Hot Tub Time Machine & Robin Hood - Disappointing

I had 2 free tickets to the movies and wanted to see something close by to my house. There are not many great options mid-year and Hot Tub Time Machine ("HTTM") and Robin Hood are good examples of 'not great options'.

I am glad they were free otherwise I would have been pretty angry to have paid $12.50.

Of the two, HTTM was much better as it had some good laughs. My dad called it 'raunchy' (don't know why he would want to see that movie) but I would say it was just plain juvenile. I miss the days of John Cusack in Say Anything.

As for Robin Hood, I actually snoozed through part of the movie. It was 2 1/2 hours. It could have been 1 3/4 hour and about 3 less fight and horse riding scenes. I will admit that I did like Russell Crowe in it but other than that, it wasn't anything special.

Hot Tub Time Machine gets 3.5 popcorn kernals
Robin Hood gets 2.5 popcorn kernals

Weight Watchers Week 4

I usually don't make it this far when I do WW so I waited on posting until now. Although I have only lost 4.4 lbs in the last 4 weeks, I am happy with my food changes. I have COMPLETELY changed my diet. If it doesn't show up on the scale (it will have to eventually), then I will go nuts but Courtney (the Wednesday leader that I really like), assured me that eventually it will. I do have to show her my menu for a week so I will print one off etools. I think etools is amazing as are the message boards. I will keep plugging along and keep everyone updated as time progresses.

BTW, I tried WW many years ago and I lost about 40 lbs so I know it works. I just need to give it time and not give up hope so early.

You can join Weight Watchers now for a short time for free. I would highly recommend starting when it's free. They monthly plan also seems to be the best deal as well since it includes etools and forces you to be a member (because you paid) for at least a month. The month gives you that opportunity to see that it really DOES work.
