Well we are well into 2008 and have begun thinking about the upcoming shearing season.  I have set our shearing day for April 26 and plan on having an open house the day after on April 27 to showcase our fleeces, alpacas, and alpaca products.  I have decided since we will be shearing even more alpacas this year, I need to drop some pounds and get fit.  With that in mind I joined Nutrisystems.  In the first week I lost 4 pounds, but I am sure things will probably slow down.  I set a goal to lose an additional 10 pounds before Valentine's Day.  I will see how it goes.
