Inches Loss Matter Too

We have been traveling a lot this past month. From Universal Studios in Florida to a few Minnesota based trips and I haven't been seeing much weight loss. I was starting to get discouraged. I'm staying on plan and I am getting a lot of exercise on these trips as they are mostly all walking. My average miles per day this past month has been 7 1/2 miles. A day! But yet my weight loss has been about 1/2 pound a week. So this week I decided to check in and see how many inches I have lost. And boy ...

Let Your Pup Ride in Comfort with Squishy Mats

Dog Enjoy Squishy Mats

Our dogs come to the office nearly every day. I never thought much about putting them in the cargo area of our SUV until we went to a drive in movie. When I had to sit back there and watch a movie with Peyton it was then I discovered just how hard and uncomfortable the cargo area was. Even with 3 quilts down it still hurt my back! When I heard about Squishy Mats I had to try them out for myself. What is Squishy Mats? I had the same question. I had never heard of them before today. Squishy ...
