May 31st - Start today?

I'd like to get into the routine of walking again. My goal for tonight is to take daisy on a 30 min walk. I want to start June off with exercise and I plan on keeping my walks going. Hopefully I can teach her to stop pulling.

May 30th - Partner ship walk to stop poverty.

So we went to vancouver today for the partnership walk. We took daisy. At first she was really good. Pulled on the leash alot and by the end she barked at a few dogs. I think it was a good experience for her. I've noticed that she'll be excited and happy to meet other dogs but then nip at them. I have NO IDEA WHY. I want it to stop because its not safe but I dont know how to teach her not to.
Anyone have any tips?

May 29th - Weight update

Weight has been falling off of me the last couple of weeks. I started at 206 and now I'm around 197.. 196.
This month I've lost 9 lbs doing nothing lol. And although weight has been falling off me... it was yoyoing there for a while. I'm basically back to where I was at my birthday. The only thing thats happened is that I dont eat as much anymore. I've been picking up on price charmings habbits and its helping me out alot. I'm not as hungry anymore and I find that because I was sick... it might have lagged my eating habbits a bit more.
Other then that, lifes pretty good.
My goal by the end of june is to be in the 180's. Its a piece of cake lol. I'm sure I can get it done.

May 28th - Not moving out.

So I talked to my mom and shes not happy about me wanting to move out. I'm honestly not up for moving out either. I just feel like I have to. Lately things have been fine between my parents dog and daisy. I think tension comes because both dogs are new to having another dog in their living place. They're getting better! They're learning when and when not to do things that will upset the other one.
Like Daisy waits until the other dog walks completely away from her plate before she goes and eats. We'll take it slow and see if they can learn.
The only time they fight is if the other dog is chewing on a toy and leaves it and then daisy goes to play with it and the other dog is territorial over it... then she tries to bite daisy.
Its only happened a few times but its getting better.

May 27th - Perfect place

So we found the perfect place to rent but it was well above our budget. It didnt even include utilities. It included hot water and heat but no cable and Internet. Its such a nice suite but I would have to pay an extra 100 dollars a month just to get the Internet and cable hooked up.
The landlord was really nice and cut off 50$ off rent for us.
We took a day to think about it and then got back to them and said it just wasnt within our price range. They understood and that was the end of that.
Now today we get a phone call back from them asking if we still want the suite. They say that they can cut off another 50$ until we can afford to pay it. They were really understanding about us being students.
But what it comes down to is not the fact that they re cutting the price down for us.. its that theres no utilities... and we have to cover for that. The location isn't that great either. Although its a 2 min walk to a really nice trail. Its not in price range.
Finding a place is a hassle.

May 26th - Wondering about the future

Right now I've been thinking alot about the future. We went to that wedding that prince charmings mom invited me to go to. It was BEAUTIFUL! So gorgeous and you could tell the people who were getting married were "loaded". I wonder about the future alot. How are prince charming and I going to be able to afford a big wedding? How are we going to be able to afford a house? We struggle to pay our car insurance lol. I'm starting to see that schooling is so important. Its the foundation to a better future. To get somewhere... you gotta get off your bum and work for it lol!

Btw I think I looked pretty nice at the wedding :) Prince charming and I matched colours :)

May 25th - Found many places

So we found a place and they loved us! Wanted us to move in right away but they told us to drop the deposit off the next day. We went and then they told us that they asked their land lords if they could have a dog on the property and the land lord said ABSOLUTELY NOT. So this leaves me kind of confused... Are renters allowed to rent the place they are renting at?
I feel kind of like we were lied to... but honestly... it wasn't that great of a place anyways.

We then took the opportunity to find another place. This place was cheaper but sooo dirty and disgusting. It was not livable under my standards.
