Basement Cat Posted February 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 Haven't updated in a while. Still coasting along, but being a bit lazy. Weight is stable at around 200 (meh). The sidewalks are clear of snow, so it's time for me to get my kick scooter! The plan is to go to work and back on the kick scooter every work day, from March to October at least. The distance is about 8 km one way, so that would be 16 km or 9.9 miles a day. The bus pass is about 100 dollars a month, so I would save 800 $ as a nice bonus. That will go towards my driver's license (classes are mandatory in Quebec. And expensive!) Cheers! 2 Quote Current form: Chubby House Cat (lvl4) Weight objective: 20% S. 4 P. 6 E. 4 C. 7 I. 8 A. 4 L. 5 Battle log Current Challenge Handy linky. Link to comment

Basement Cat Posted March 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Wouldn't you know it, as soon as I got my scooter, the snow came back. (*&@#!) It seems to be receding again, so tomorrow is going to be the first full distance try, if the weather is on my side (knock on wood). 1 Quote Current form: Chubby House Cat (lvl4) Weight objective: 20% S. 4 P. 6 E. 4 C. 7 I. 8 A. 4 L. 5 Battle log Current Challenge Handy linky.

Basement Cat Posted March 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 And I jinxed myself with that post yesterday. Il neige à plein ciel! (we're getting a skyload of snow) as we say in Québec. I did walk 2/3 of the way, but the snow was getting to be a bit too much. My socks are soaked. Oh well, perhaps next week, because looking at the sky today we're going to get a good 2 inches of snow. Maybe I should get snow tires on that thing...

Basement Cat Posted March 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 It's still not possible to navigate the sidewalks, but I compensate by taking the stairs at work. And I work on the 10th floor, so it's quite a climb. I did my customary end-of-month-so-low-on-food menu and I lost close to 6 pounds since last Saturday. I expect it will be a full 6 pounds by tomorrow, but considering my cycle just started, at least half of that is water, so all is well. The situation with the scooter and the snow made it necessary to get the bus pass for this month, so I wound up spending an extra 100$ that I had not planned for. Mind you, that was entirely my fault. I've lived here all my life and should have known better than to expect March not to have a few extra bucketfuls of snow. Still, that's 100$ that went to transport instead of food. Good thing I keep a well stocked pantry with plenty of dry goods for such emergencies. I am getting tired of split peas and lentils though, nutritious as they are. I have discovered that adding rice to peas and beans helps reduce the worst of the 'side effects' if you know what I mean. That's good to know if I ever get myself in such a mess again. Then again, tomato paste is magic and makes everything wonderful. 2 Quote Current form: Chubby House Cat (lvl4) Weight objective: 20% S. 4 P. 6 E. 4 C. 7 I. 8 A. 4 L. 5 Battle log Current Challenge Handy linky.

Hope everything will be better soon. Well, the temperature dropped quite a bit, but on the bright side the sidewalks are clear again. I should be able to get some practice in during the weekend. More importantly, one of my friends did me a solid and loaned me a few dollars so I can get some butter, eggs and other essentials (meat) until the next paycheck. He asked me to treat him to lunch in return when I get paid. A shortage of butter and eggs is a major crisis. *nod nod* 2 1 Quote Current form: Chubby House Cat (lvl4) Weight objective: 20% S. 4 P. 6 E. 4 C. 7 I. 8 A. 4 L. 5 Battle log Current Challenge Handy linky.

Basement Cat Posted August 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 Quick update. I haven't been a good girl with food, but exercise wise I'm doing okay. I've been walking/scooting to work most of the time, except during the heatwave because it was dangerous. Reintegrating the strength routine :inverted row, push-up, squat and *ugh* planks. Probably some dumbbell presses too. just because. I also have a couch to 5k program ready to go. Since I'm walking anyway, might as well start running. My shoes are already falling apart. Too much walking. Or they were cheap *shifty eyes*. 2 Quote Current form: Chubby House Cat (lvl4) Weight objective: 20% S. 4 P. 6 E. 4 C. 7 I. 8 A. 4 L. 5 Battle log Current Challenge Handy linky.

Basement Cat Posted October 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 One of my cats died today. She died at home of kidney failure. I hope she didn't suffer too much. At least she was surrounded by her things instead of in a strange place. I don't feel like doing much today. 3 Quote Current form: Chubby House Cat (lvl4) Weight objective: 20% S. 4 P. 6 E. 4 C. 7 I. 8 A. 4 L. 5 Battle log Current Challenge Handy linky. Link to comment

I've been away from the forums quite a while. I hope you're feeling better after these months, I know it's not easy to lose a pet. I lost my cat past january and I still miss him terribly. Nice that she could die at home, with you, I'm sure she appreciated. Sending lots of love *hugs* 1 Quote Link to comment
