"YMCA"

With hopes of inspiring all you kittiez out there who may have a few too many "love handles" orbiting your midsections, I am keeping a diary of my vet imposed weight loss program. I now weigh in at a slightly uncomfortable 11.2 pounds which my vet calls "overweight"! How humiliating. Believe me, I had a few nasty things to say back to her! But, in order to turn a bad thing into at least a helpful one, I will share my ordeal with the world. If you think you might have a similar problem check with your vet before undertaking a weight reduction program. My goal is to lose one and a half pounds by July.

WEEK ONE, March 8-14,1998:

Whew! What a week it was. I thought I'd never make it without my angel food cake! That's my most fafurrite thing to eat in the whole world and I didn't even get a crumb all week! Hard hearted Meowmy turned a deaf ear on all my pleas. But now that I've survived a whole week without it I feel very purroud of myself.

My winkwink, Wrigley, has been very supportive. We are going back to the spa and I'm taking another aerobics class. Maybe I'll even get on that scary looking walking machine this time!

Diet food is not so bad. It tastes good and I feel full after 3 or 4 bowl fulls (just kidding!). Seriously, my diet food is yummy so I feel hopeful about this weight loss craziness! We'll see how things go next week!

WEEK TWO, March 15-21,1998:

I feel much more energetic this week.Meowmy plays "da bird" toy with Griffey effurry night and I've been joining in, too! She complains that it's hard to play with 2 kittiez at the same time but we try to share. I growl at him if he gets in my way. Even Kaliway is getting into the spirit. She plays "chase" with us while Meowmy is at work!

Wrigley is so purroud of me! He called me his "angel without angel food cake!" I couldn't do this without him. What a guy! Next week we hit the spa again.

WEEK THREE, March 22-March 28,1998:

I am the queen of the spa! Wrigley and I are the envy of all the other kittiez who go there. They stop whateffur they are doing just to watch us workout. Jaws drop and applause rings out... Ok, mabe I'm exaggerating a little bit. All rightk so I heard a little snickering when I got on the stair-step machine- but I feel great!

No angel food cake for me again this week. So sad...Diet food is good and so am I. On Tuesday I get weighed at the vet. I hope to have good news for you in my next report!

WEEK FOUR, March 29-April 4,1998:

Guess what!! I can proudly announce that I have lost a total of .2 pounds! Boy do I feel great!! Go ahead and laugh-we all have to start somewhere and at least I didn't gain any weight! Meowmy is very proud of me...but still no angel food cake. Sighhhh! 

WEEK SIX, April 12-April 18,1998:

I'm still here! Nothing exciting to report last week or this week either. Still no angel food cake but... This coming Tuesday is my purrday and Meowmy promised I could have ONE piece! I can hardly wait! I promise I will work extra hard on Wednesday to make up for it. After all, it IS my purrday, so I deserve a treat, right?

WEEK FOURTEEN, June 7-June 13,1998:

Well, I ran into a little snag effuryone. It seems I've gained almost a pound since starting my diet. Meowmy is beside herself and so am I. So we are going to regroup and try something else. I'll let you know what we come up with!
