More good news...this from a study reported by the American Heart Association. For longer life, fitness is more important than losing weight. Increasing your fitness is a better way to decrease your death risk than just decreasing your BMI. Becoming less fit increases your death risk regardless of BMI. This is great news for people who are physically fit but just can't seem to lose weight, and really good motivation to keep exercising for the rest of us. Read more here:

I am trying to use the treadmill 3 times a week, but really hate it. Hopefully it will grow on me, or the weather will warm up and melt the ice on the sidewalks.
I am over the 90 day mark on my plank-a-day streak. Still working towards one full year of planking.
Rin is still with us...no one has even called for an pre-adoption visit. She is still stalking squirrels and rabbits, and is now even more intense. She startled a squirrel and it fell out of a tree at her feet, but got away back up the tree and on to our garage roof. The squirrel proceeded to chew us both out royally for several minutes. Rin never forgets and carefully checks the tree and roof every time we pass. She is such a typical labrador now....just loves bounding through the snow and sniffing for animal tracks. No more timidity. She is a hunter (on a leash at all times).
Looking together in the same direction.
