I'm sorry to hear about your kitty Lee. We have 3 cats (none of them
related
to each other) and they are all so different. I do have a favourite, our
youngest. She's a 2 yo torti and has the loveliest nature. I would be
devasted if anything happened to her.

I gained .6 for a total weight of 159. I tried the core plan this week.
I
am not comfortable journaling and I have kept some notes. I am going to
recreate a journal to see what happened. I only managed to have the
"good"
fat one day this week which may be part of the problem. I am going to
go
for another week because I think I need to know if this is a plan I can
use
while traveling. It was a great deal less stress eating out and
traveling
on this plan. I feel good and hope all of you do also.

I did have some major stress this week and I think this might have been
a
contributor to me not eating very much. I took a trip on Saturday to
STL,
2
hours each way to meet my parents for lunch. Then on Monday we went
again,
stayed overnight and came back late on Tuesday. This meant a bunch of
eating other people's food. I always retain water when I am in the car
for
extended periods of time. Then this morning I took my cat, Miss
Violette
to
the vet to have a growth removed. I had her teeth cleaned at the same
time
to avoid having to anesthetize her a second time should it be needed.
The
vet had originally said that it should be done in the future but when
this
came up we did both now. The good news is that she came through the
surgery
fine. Other good news is that the vet found an abscessed place in her
gum.
It had nothing to do with her teeth but could have made her very ill if
it
had not been found. The bad news. The growth we thought was just an
annoying cyst might be cancer. The vet said it didn't look good at all
so
it went to the pathologist. Sorry for going on but this cat is very
special
to me.

again, I am not happy about losing but I am still fine in my head and
heart
because I know that devoting three or four weeks to the core plan will
let
me learn about me, and the worst that happens is that I gain and go back
to
flex points. best of luck to you all this week, Lee

DH says we should have named our yellow one Clarence Darrel instead of
tiger. He looks at you sits down and makes a variety of noises that aren't
meows but attempts at something else. He is the one who knows I can't see
and escapes from the house to just sit outside quietly to hide from me, only
time he shuts up, Lee

he answers us....and torti girl will talk to if she's in the mood!

Sometimes that is a good sign when they are making noise, well if they
are
normally a vocal cat. I have one that is vocal and one that is not. So
when the one that is not normally vocal is, then I need to pay attention
to
him. The lady is vocal and you just tell her to shut up and wonder what
is
wrong when she is quiet and you cant find her.

Hi, Lee, too bad about the gain, next week will be better. I know you must
be sad about Miss Violette, I only have one cat at a time but I become very
attached to the cat that currently owns me. As to the Core program, I am
still Tracking my food while using Core points. I am easily distracted and
I would forgot to include those points that needed to be counted. I don't
get weighed until tomorrow. Given that my last two weigh ins were both
gains, this week has to be better.

best of luck to you, I intended to only have 2 at a time to keep each other
occupied but that was not the plan and five were sent and I care for them
and it is a privilege. I think this week will be better because I am going
to track all points and eat on the core to see how that works. There will
be no limit on core foods but I need to know how I am doing as I am afraid
it will get out of hand, Lee
