It’s time for another Ultimate Coffee Date sponsored by Deborah at Confessions of a Mother Runner and Coco at Got2Run4Me. It’s a virtual coffee (or tea or whatever your favorite beverage is) date with fellow bloggers. Be sure to check out the link-up!
If we were having coffee, I would tell you… it’s been a bit of a rough start to the month. I thought my parakeet, Toby was sick on Tuesday and almost had to take him to the vet. He wasn’t acting like himself at all, being quiet and sleeping a lot. Then, I realized with the help of a friend the issue was with the food I had given him. I got a slightly different size and he refused to eat it. Apparently, starving himself was better than trying it? So, for about 24 hours, he hadn’t eaten. While I was figuring all this out, he gave me an anxiety attack. He’s my baby, and I couldn’t fathom losing him. Pets can be so fussy! I’m thankful he is okay and just a brat. :p
If we were having coffee, I would tell you… I just lost a filling in my far back top tooth yesterday. No clue how exactly it happened, but I now have a dentist appointment on Monday. I’m awful about going to the dentist like I should, so I am sure I’ve got some other work to be done. Guess I’ll get to know this new dentist soon.
If we were having coffee, I would tell you… I’ve lost a pound and a half! I’m so happy that I’m finally getting somewhere with dropping some weight. I’m now about 8lbs from my goal weight, where I was in 2015 when I was training for the NYC Marathon. I felt my best then, and I just want to get back to that. While it’s not all about the number on the scale, I would be kidding you if I didn’t say I have a number I’m trying to get back down to. I also know that my clothes feel better when I’m about a certain weight.
How about you, what would you tell me if we were having coffee?
Have a great weekend! 🙂
congrats on the weight loss. Great accomplishment
I’m so glad Toby is ok. How stressful Congrats on the weightloss. I’ve got a ways to go on that front but I think I finally have that needle moving in the right direction.
Glad that Toby is alright. Pets can be so silly about their food!! Good luck at the Dentist on Monday and with your weight goal. 🙂
Thanks Clarinda! He is definitely a crazy boy! 🙂
Isn’t it funny how our little pets can stress us out? Ha! Thanks, dropping weight is always a battle. I know you will get there too, Marcia!
Thanks so much, Patrick!
What a cutie Toby is! Glad he is feeling better! Yes, pets can be so finicky at times.
I hear you on the weight loss ….My goal is to lose some weight while the hubby is deployed. So far I’ve only lost 2 pounds and my clothes are still snug …got a ways to go. We can do this!!
I’m glad the baby is fine! Our dog goes through phases where he won’t eat for 24-36 hours. Of course, the hubby keeps him supplied with treats, but it’s just something I cannot understand…do they just not get hungry? I’m such a routine person, I eat at “meal time” regardless if I have hunger pains or not LOL
OMG Toby is so adorable! I’m so glad that finicky eater is OK! Congrats on your weight loss. What a great feeling to have just a single-digit amount to lose to get to your goal!
Toby is so pretty. And I’m kind of flabbergasted that a bird would be so picky about his food! What a scare that must have been.
Congrats on the weight loss! I totally get what you’re saying. I, too, am trying to drop just a few pounds for the very same reason — I feel better & my clothes fit better at a certain weight.
Your parakeet is adorable! <3! I'm so glad that he's okay!! I knew birds could be picky, but I didn't realize they could be thattt picky!! :O
I'm with you on not being a fan of going to the dentist. :[
Glad to hear your bird is ok now. Sick kids and sick pets are never fun for their moms. The dentist is the worst I dread it more than the Gyno visit 🙂 Thanks for linking up for coffee! Great to have you
What a little cutie and how naughty for stressing you out like That! I think pets are a real part of the family and our hearts.
I’m so glad you figured out what was going on with Toby and that he is okay! Congrats on the weight loss – may it be the start of a smooth downward trend back to your goal weight 🙂
Thanks, Toby is doing good again!
He is definitely a cute little brat. LOL!
Ha, I love the comparison to the gyno. I have to say, that’s no fun either.
Thanks, Toby is my sweet little guy who just likes to drive me a little crazy.
Yup, even the littlest pets are nutty sometimes. Thanks!
Thanks, I love him like crazy!
Animals are weird sometimes, huh? I don’t get it either.
Thanks, Toby is totally my baby. And, weight loss isn’t easy, but worth it.
