Hank is announcing his presence to the world. Alternatively, the worst hunting dog in the world.

Hank's little accidents

Didn’t mean to post an angry Star Trek character instead of something about Hank! But maybe that’s what Riker would look like if he caught Hank leaving little presents in his quarters. Not sure what is causing Hank to do that, because he is outside a lot during the day. Maybe he just needs to get outside even more.

Charges Dismissed

We were given a pretty unfair ticket from the city for “keeping an animal which noise disturbs the peace and quiet of a neighbour”. We never had the chance to correct Hank’s barking before bylaw was involved. Anyway the case was dismissed because the witness never showed. We were so happy when we got home to see Hank :)

A Dog's Review of the Twilight Movies

We recently watched Twilight and New Moon, having not seen them previously. Hank watched them with us, and if his actions are any indication, he did not like these movies. Hank was sprawled out on the floor, sound asleep, before either movie was over. Of course this is his reaction to any movie that doesn’t have “Air Bud” in the title.

Hank's Gettin' Brave

Hank is a great dog and companion, but I cannot help but make fun of his fear of water. He sidesteps puddles in the street! What dog does that? Poor guy is terrified come bath time, too, but I will grant that is a somewhat traumatic experience for a dog. I don’t know though, my parents’ dogs like baths, so maybe Hank just had a bad experience. Anyway I was having a shower tonight,...

Oh, Hello there

I forgot I had this thing. I need to do something interesting with it. I think I’m just going to post things about my dog Hank, who truly is rad.

285 this morning

I weighed myself this morning and found I was at 285. I need to set a weekly weigh in and return to reporting progress.

Final Weigh-in

The final total is 285.8 - which is a total drop of 10 pounds. While that is half of my goal, it’s a step in the right direction!

Down 2

I’m going back down in weight. I’m at 289, below the 290 mark. That’s good. That means only 14 pounds to go before March 31st! To get to 275 that is; I think if I can get to 285 or lower, that would be good - and I can set a new goal date from there. At this point I don’t think I’m going to win my $20 back, but I’ll give it my best.

Up 2

Wow. I really feel like I’m making zero progress. I thought I was doing well, and then I go up 2. I’m going to have to take some drastic measures, because as it stands, I’ve gone from starting at 295.8 to weighing in at 291 this week. Terrible.

Tumblr on blackberry

Just downloaded tumblr for the bb. Now I need to find a purpose for tumblr.

Up 1.8

After a great week, losing 6.2 pounds, I’m back up 1.8. This is not good, but it is still reversable. My goal weight was 275 - I’m at 288 or so now. So that means I still have another 13 pounds to go until my last weigh in on March 31st. That is extremely attainable, but I need to work at it. I think I’m going to try to aim for at least 20 pounds though.

Down 6.2!

I was slightly discouraged when I gained two pounds in as many weeks. I have more than made up for that gain, as I lost 6.2 pounds this week. So, factoring in those two pounds I gained, it is a net loss of 4.2 pounds in the last three weeks. I have to check my totals to get a better picture of what I’ve lost but so far it’s looking like 6.2 pounds lost in total if my math is...

+1...again

I’m up another pound today after weighing in. Here’s what I’ve done all week: - Drank too many beers Friday night - Walked to the rink, skated a bit on Saturday; drank too many beers Saturday night - Went for an adventure with Hank on Sunday - Walked at lunch all week except for yesterday. - Drank too many beers last night I think the common denominator is the beer.

Conflicted

I’m really not sure what I want to do today. I walked Hank this morning before work, and the ground was super slushy. Yesterday when I walked at lunch, the ground was super slushy. I’m looking outside, and the ground still looks super slushy. I believe that all signs are pointing to the fact that it is super slushy, and walking conditions are terrible. But I now hate not walking...

30 Minute Walk

I walk approximately 30 minutes every day during lunch time at work, and that’s what I did today. I feel like doing more tonight - if I had a gym membership that’s where I’d be. Maybe another adventure with Hank?

+1 is normally a good thing - if you’re a hockey player. I gained a pound this week, though considering I had a weekend full of unrestrained eating, that’s pretty darned good. Aiming to lose 3 for next week to offset the gain. Steve (from my blackberry)

No Change.

I weighed in with no increase or decrease in weight from last week. So hopefully superbowl partiers gained some. Steve (from my blackberry)
