Bunnies and diets!
Not very much going on these days. Work has been a little slow, leading to smaller paychecks for us hourly folks. Bah! I'm happy to have a job at all. There may be changes on that front. We shall see.
Pocky (my girl bunny) has been so-so with her bladder issues. The medicines (in addition to being unpleasant to administer for both me and her) are ridiculously expensive. I asked the vet if we could try giving her pure, unsweetened cranberry juice. She said "Sure, give it a try."
After adding that to her regimen, she SEEMS a little better, but I won't know for sure until we bring her back in. But since it's all so expensive, I have to kind of postpone that, and just keep the meds and fluids going at home. Keep fingers crossed. She seems reasonably healthy and happy still.
The whole Flat Belly Diet thing is going well. I hit a patch during the holidays where I was averaging a family bag of Twizzlers and all sorts of other candy a day. Weight went down and up a bit. I got back on it and lost 9 lbs in 9 days. I'm not sure how that's possible (water weight, and so on, I'm sure). In any event, I like it. I like eating normal portions of food, and not feeling ridiculously full all the time. So, I intend to stick with it for a while. I set goals for each week (in my google calendar) and when I hit them, I have little, inexpensive rewards lined up. So far, so good.
