Really Wet

It is sopping wet out there and dogs like Fudge get drenched and I mean drenched. As there are so many getting soaked, I comb them out and moved my dog dryers to the tv room with Nathan. Nathan is not happy but the dogs are getting dry inmassed and I am taking the driest and finishing them off. It's the only way I can be productive in getting them dry and then they will get wet again after supper - which is about to begin.
Do you know M&M meatshops has free delivery now? I had no clue but had a credit there that was about to expire the end of this month so I ordered a few things. The order wasn't large but it has to be over 100 dollars and I barely got over that to get the delivery. We shall see how that works out.
I think the most difficult thing I am doing today is attempting to keep the dogs dry. What a comic hour or shall I say hours in the plural sense.
Hazel was playing with Oreo and when I got my camera, they stopped. Oreo is a very old dog so I would have liked to catch that on camera. Hoping there is a next time.
I watched a show called "the Order" and now I am watching the 600 lb journey - gastric bypass etc. Our son in law had this surgery but didn't stick to it. I found something interesting watching that the carbonated drinks increase the size of the tummy dooming you to fail. Felt bad for all the people that do not have supportive people helping them on this journey. It gave me insight as to how hard this is.
As I type, the dogs are barking like - well you describe it but my watch says the loud level noise is at an extreme. I am laughing!
It's another day at the dawg house and games to begin as long as the dogs are not too wet after supper.

One former coworker, her husband got that surgery, he didn't watch his diet, ended up many times in ER, gastric bleeding, he surmised he could eat anything and everything, he was warned.
Another coworker, his daughter got it, regrets having the procedure. Not sure why but I suspect the restricted diets post surgery and complications as well.
The failure rates vary so much, way too much to note here. Soda, pop are some of the worst, totally empty calories and who has just 1 pop.
The story of sugar, fructose, etc, lots of documentaries, explains the weight gain better. Check the labels of just about everything processed ie 1 Cinnabon is 800 calories! You have 2,3 and that's the total amount of calories,food for an female adult per day! And I'm not even going to discuss fried foods.
And that's why I cook at home so much, I can closely watch what I eat.
My son in law had it and failed. This was before we knew him. I didn't realize that soda/pop expands the stomach. Who knew. I think the failure rate is complicated but when you tell your mother-in-law that your doctor said McDonald's was a healthy meal, you know someone is in denial. Ozempic has not worked either. You have to want to be thin more than anything else. It's a tough journey. Watching this show, I also realized how much some family members like to sabotage you. When you are in the 600 and 700 range, you have to do something. One had a sister and a father die from complications of obesity and still that wasn't enough till the doctor refused to remove the excess skin till she lost weight. Still, some did well. Therapy and family support matters.
I am exercising daily but in all these years, this (supernatural) is one of the few exercises I look forward to. I am not trying to lose. I am trying to firm up and it is working. I was told that at our age you can never have a flat stomach. That is not true.
