Working with camels????? What do you do? That can be very challenging! I've only spent time around llamas. Even they can be challenging. Now 5x bigger would worry me! Too much spit!
You are good to get the weight lifting in. I have signed up for an oly tri, and am consumed with the time it is taking to run, bike and swim. I barely make one swim a week, and don't know when I will get in the lifting -- I miss it, and I'm sure it will help with all. Now if only I could fit it in. Maybe instead of cooking or cleaning!!!!

Well, I have recovered from the stomach bug, finally have my appetite back so my weight is almost back up to my starting point. I am at 148. This weekend DH and I have a hut trip planned, lots of backcountry skiing so I should get a few good "workouts" in.

Jes, I groom all 15 of them every Spring and even throughout the year, plus feed them lots of treats and clean their pens (ie, rake and shovel [my favorite form of weight-lifting]). This is all on a volunteer basis. Only the Bactrians spit, but they know me so well that they only cuddle with me, but do occasionally spit at the other Bactrians when food is around; the Dromedaries are more prone to biting than spitting. :-)

Are you a veterinarian?

Jes, I just viewed your profile and see that you are, indeed, a veterinarian. If I could relive my early years, I'd definitely train to be a camel vet.

Hey, yeah, I'm a vet. But only little creatures (and some big dogs). Used to do a few cows, but not anymore! I always liked the camelids, though. Nice volunteer work!
OK.. back to the weight loss!!!!

2 magnolia cupcakes!
Luckily I did remember to weigh in yesterday. I just forgot to post. I was down 1/2 pound from last week 117.4.
Good thing the weigh in wasn't today DH and I went out for dinner and then out for cupcakes! Oh well, back on track today.
Thank you for the motivation!
