Fitness Friday ♥

Life has been a bit crazy but we’re all back on track here!!!

With the Disneyland half marathon coming up in the beginning of September and my lack of running the last few weeks it is time to get my rear in gear! ASAP!

Time to put myself back as my number 1 priority. It’s amazing how quickly you can lose site of that and before you know it a few weeks have slipped by!

I did get a fantastic walk in yesterday and we’re having family visit from N. CA this weekend so it will be tough.

I did sign up for Weight Watchers on Wednesday and I’m on day 2 of points. Is anyone else out there on Weight Watchers? How are you doing? I plan on updating my progress every Wednesday! Let’s lose and get healthy together!!!

We’re also very sad here at My SoCal Life, we lost our beloved dog Trixie. We rescued her as a puppy and we were blessed to have her for 4.5 wonderful years. She is the little one on top of our lab mix, Hoagie!

She was given a bum deal. She fell ill last Tuesday and just couldn’t get better. In the end, we ultimately won’t know what took our little pup. It was something neurological. A meningitis of some sort which should have responded to steroids and she didn’t. The vet is thinking she may even have had a brain tumor. When you love your pets so much it’s tough. We do have our other awesome dog Hoagie and we will be rescuing another buddy for Hoagie soon.

Have a fantastic weekend everyone!!!

Wednesday Weight Watchers ♥

My beautiful baby boy turned 3 years old on Monday, May 14th. We spent a fantastic day at Disneyland! Our passes are about to be blocked out for the summer so it was one of our last trips to Disneyland until September! BUMMER!

My little guys birthday was yet just another dose of reality that I had him at an older age and I want more than anything to be here and be healthy for a very long time to see him grow up and live life!

So I did it! I joined Weight Watchers! I have always loved their program because you eat everyday food. So today, I dropped our little guy with grandma and I actually had a hair appointment. I got my hair done and drove straight over to the Weight Watchers center here. There was no meeting until tonight but I knew that Weight Watchers now has “store hours”. Meaning they are open from 9am to 4pm or 9am to 7pm daily for drop ins.

When I walked in today and there was an older sweet man named Peter who has lost 87LBs! I can’t get over how kind he was! He signed me up on for the monthly pass and weighed me in (augh!) and he asked if I had a minute and he went over the points plus program with me! I am going to weight in on Saturdays I just can’t this Saturday because I have a Stella & Dot event!

After all was said and done I went to the grocery store and stocked up on good food and staples to make great meals!

Are you trying to lose weight? I’m going to update weekly on Wednesdays! Come lose weight with me! Together we can support each other and do this!

*** I am on the weight watchers program. I am just blogging my experience , all opinions are my own. ***

Super Sunday Giveawy linky ♥

May 12, 2012 by Susie | 2 Comments

Sorry for the lack of posts this week. Our little Trixie has been very sick and at the vet for 4 days now. At first, they thought for sure it was snail bait poisoning. I kept insisting we didn’t have it anywhere. After 2 days she should have been doing so much better from the charcoal which is supposed to absorb the toxins so the vet thinks yesterday she may have a dog form of meningitis which shows very similar symptoms. The treatment for that is steroids. Fingers crossed we hear good news today He was hopeful that Trixie would still be able to make a full recovery. Thank you!

Fitness Friday ♥

I wasn’t able to post Fitness Friday last week so I never updated you on my Gator Run! I am so proud of myself. I was able to run almost the entire race! My official race time was 37:59 minutes so quite literally 12.5 minute mile! YEAH ME!

Oh man, I have to be honest, I fell off the workout wagon this week! Tuesday, May 1st was my birthday and my hubby took me to one of my favorite places for lunch and then we went and saw Think Like A Man. I thought it was hilarious, totally a chick flick, but I did hear my hubby laughing throughout it too!

I also enjoyed my favorite snack, spinach dip with a cup of tea at night and some bread. Well, sometime during the night the food poisoning hit and I was knocked out all day Wednesday until about midday Thursday. So there was no working out. I am hoping to do a Pilate’s DVD today and some walking tomorrow and get a run in on Sunday.

It’s official The Disney Half Marathon is 18 weeks away. If you are following the Jeff Galloway training series it starts NOW!

I’m also trying to kick the soda habit. I am such a soda drinker it’s horrible! I swear, I crave it as soon as I wake up!

I hope you have all had a great week and have a great weekend!

I’m also linking up at Jill’s blog ♥ Fitness, Health & Happiness ♥

Mr Chewy Review ♥

We love our two rescue dogs just like family. There health and happiness is so important to us! Mr Chewy asked us to review some of their products and we couldn’t wait to try them out.

I purchased dog food by Canidae. This caught my eye because it was the same brand of dog food the rescue sent home with us when we adopted Hoagie, our lab mix! Canidae, all life stage formula , dry dog food. All Canidae products are proudly made in the USA using the highest quality US ingredients to create all natural and holistic dog and cat food. Chicken meal, turkey meal, lamb meal, brown rice and white rice are the first few ingredients listed.

Our lab, Hoagie ate all his food, down to the last kibble! Trixie, our terrier, loves it too, but she always eats in stages LOL! I even caught my almost 3 year old popping a few ! Ok, I didn’t catch him he came up to me and said “I eat dog food mama”. I explained to him it was for the doggies and he understood! I think I’ll still keep an eye on him =)

I also recieved Zuke’s mini Naturals. Healthy Moist Miniature Dog Treats , Chicken Formula! We absolutely have to pick chicken because our lab mix Hoagie is a chicken fiend! He was originally rescued in Taiwan and we think he either had a love for chicken there or was a chicken in another life! He can smell when we cook it and goes nuts! These dogs are great for training. They have no wheat, corn , soy, artificial colors, flavors, added fat or by-produts!

Product Image

Hoagie (top pic) & Trixie (lower pic) are very happy Mr Chewy fans ! If you’re looking for well priced dog and cat products please be sure and check out Mr. Chewy. I think you will be very happy with what you are offered and become a loyal customer!

**I received the two products listed in my review to use in order to write my review. All views expressed are 100% mine **
