Changes

You guessed it right. I made the necessary shift from Science Diet Advance to Science Diet Light. I've surfed and read tons of information enough to convince me that this is what's best for Boe. And what perfect timing, Petsmart is having a sale right now so I rushed back to the store and grabbed 2 - 4 lb bags of the Light formula.

Boe should only be limited to 1/2 cup of food a day. If she finishes that half the day, then that's it. No more refills. But I'm surprised that after giving her the Light formula yesterday, the trips to the foodbowl drastically dropped today. Not that it's less palatable but based from the information, this formula keeps her feeling "full" given the high fiber content and more importantly, it's low fat and low calorie food for cats. This way she eats less but still gets the necessary dietary requirement for the day.

I'm so pleased that Boeboe didn't reject her new dry food formulation. I trust in the product guarantee written on the package which confidently state "Great Taste 100% Guaranteed" and the years of research that went into the making of this product. Most cats hate changes in their food but based from Boe's reaction, she didn't even notice the change at all. Being creatures of habit, cats hate any form of change. But being a responsible cat owner entails decision making especially when the changes directly apply to their health. I look forward to a leaner Boeboe in the coming months. Wish us luck!

You bet, I have my share of personal changes too. I decided to end that sickening sight of dust building up on my Total Gym...time to utilize my 2 year old investment. Ha! That's right, it's been 2 years since I had this equipment at home but due to umm lets see, sheer laziness?! I haven't really maximized the use of this powerful fitness tool. What better way to go into this thing with a fitness buddy in Boeboe to remind me of the goals we've set for ourselves.

It is time to trim away the unsightly flab in my abs for a more muscular, leaner and yes, sexier me. And do take note that this is NOT part of any new year's resolution. I don't believe in that crap. But I do believe in people making things happen and resisting the temptation of putting aside matters of great importance such as health. This means putting an end to a longggg list of my favorite high calorie food stuff(like pizza) and setting aside time for exercise. So wish me (more) luck!

Yipeee! Finally I managed to replace that darn twin size mattress I've been sleeping on for over 3 months now with a brand new twin- sized Simmons mattress. This much needed change has been a long overdue one. I'm tired of waking up feeling like a thousand people kicked me in the back. Trust me, it's that bad.

Have you ever experienced Thoraco Lumbar pain caused by a worn out bed? It sucks! Imagine sleeping on a mattress with a defective springset. Not only will your neck hurt, your spine would suffer as well. This is why orthopedic doctors recommend orthopedic beds. It's perfect for back related problems and avoiding sleep related pains. I had a tough time looking around for a reasonably priced twin size mattress. I don't want to spend USD 500-700 on a Queen size bed yet so, the next best move is replacing the worn out, hand-me-down twin size mattress that came with the Day bed. Luckily, Costco decided to sell twin size beds this season. I've been shopping there for 3 years and this is the first time they sold twin size mattresses. What perfect timing.

Thank heavens for the pleasant sleep this weekend. What a difference really. Oh and the cats love the new mattress too! It's a good thing I have my camera phone beside me to capture this fun moment. For the first time, Boeboe and Pozzy peacefully leaped in my bed to sleep minus the fight. I'm covered with the red flat sheet while my two babies peacefully snore away.
