Weight, hubby, and a grizzly bear!
Hello all! So I must say I am doing really well regarding the weight loss again… I told my dietician I would lose 16 lbs by Jan 2, it’s now down to 12 lbs, rolling along quite nicely. I’ve been so diligent about not eating at night, this is a huge accomplishment for me. The thing is I get myself so tired from the day that I plunk myself on the couch after the kids are in bed and it’s too hard to get off to go get a snack hee hee!! I will get to my goal weight by June, this I am promising to myself. Oh and those pictures I got taken, those are a HUGE mental boost to lose the lbs, try it…it works!! When I want something not the greatest for me to eat, I take a gander at those pictures and boy does it damper those cravings!!
So now to the grizzly…My hubby has been away in another part of the province hunting. He was sitting up in the mountains watching some deer and kept hearing something behind him…so he would look and see nothing. Then he heard some breathing and turned and there was a huge grizzly 10 feet from him. He jumped up and shot at him instantly and the bear took off. He said it was massive, the belly was on the ground and he must have been 5 feet at the shoulder. I know these animals can be 1000 lbs before going into hibernation, especially the males. My husband was very lucky…this will be a story told for many moons I’m sure. I thank GOD he’s ok. He told it was like out of a movie, it was all slow motion and yet it happened so fast. I would have fainted right then and there.
So that’s my story for today…have a wonderful weekend buddies, hugs…S

Congratulations Shannon! I’m so happy for you! I knew you would do it!!!
WOW Shannon great job on your weight loss.
Not eating in the evenings really does make such a difference doesn’t it?
Sure doesn’t mean its easy though.
Trust me I know.
Thanks for sharing your tips.
Sheesh hubby sure does have a story to tell doesn’t he?
Where abouts was he?
Not up in my neck of the woods I hope. lmao
I wouldn’t doubt it though.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Your Canadian Buddy

You’ll make the 12 pound loss!! Glad your hubby is okay!
Scary about the bear. We went to Yellowstone this year and people were saying they had seen a grizzly Mom and four cubs (two were adopted according to the ranger). So, we stopped and my hubby decided to walk into the edge of the woods to see them. I stayed in the truck (my momma didn’t raise a fool). Anyway, less than ten seconds and here comes everybody running toward me. They are followed directly by the mother Griz and her cubs crossing the road. She walked right by the truck and a got a couple of good pictures of her. They way people were acting it is a wonder that more people are not attacked by bears. I was afraid to do any hiking because I thought I might have a story like your husband’s only minus the gun and the happy ending!
That eating at night is killer for the goals. I too am not eating at night and it makes such a difference. You are doing great Shannon! And thank goodness your guy is well. Have a great week. *hugs*
