Gabby weighed in this morning at 24.1 lbs.; same weight as almost 10 days ago. She was quite sedentary when she arrived here, now, her loss of 5.2 lbs. in 5 months has revealed an incredibly muscular and athletic girl. She can jump & clear many forest obstacles with ease. We’ve been in the south for 8 days now and the weather has allowed us a number of park (digging & nature trail snooping), levee trips (mole hunting in tall grass) and forest hikes. No doubt, that physical activity is critical to weight loss, in addition to nutrition, but every one of these activities involves a very high level of mental stimulation, which, burns calories too. When the brain works hard, calories get burned!! I have even been increasing the amount of food Gabby eats for the past several days due to the increased activity, and was so pleased to see that we are maintaining a steady weight around 24 lbs. Now, we can relax a little with the emphasis on weight loss, and can focus more on tasty variety, healthy foods, and matching the quantity of food to the activity level. Thank you everyone, for all the support and cheers along the way of getting Gabby back into shape! A special, thank you goes to the wonderful Valeria Moldovan, for the artwork that brings warmth, joy & laughter to my heart. Valeria, you make Gabby and me work harder, because when she does well, you create the most beautiful, joyful art!! :)
