Wimmy Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Hello, My name is Wimmy, I live in beautiful sonoma county california. I have been vegan for a about 5 years now, I love it. I once weighted 220lbs, now am 155 and hopefully droping more, ideally I would like to weigh no more than 140. 15 more lbs to go. I love to cook and eat!! Which vegan or not gets me into a bit of a struggle when it comes to my weight loss. I do a little bit of everything in my work out and life style. I do about 45 min of cardio, after that I do weights, stretching and yoga....I fall off the wagon alot, but I have no problem getting right back on it I have been married 5 years, my husband and I have been together 10 years. We have an awsome releationship...he is a meat eater, which makes eating together a little hard, we manage. He even eats whatever I make I have 2 great cats and a Wonderful Bearded dragon. We are just one big happy family. Love, Light and laughter.Wimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JW Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Its wonderful!! I love him sooo much..such a passive and peaceful guy, His name is felix... Felix sounds great!I've always been interested but I'm just not sure about the care involved.How much time and effort is involved looking after him?

Wimmy Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 Haha my avitar is just funny I use to be a stoner. Taking care of a beardie is a bit involved, but let me tell you its worth it!! Be sure when you want one to make sure you get a recomended breeder. My poor guy was born with poor bones due to bad breeding, so now he is our special needs guy!! I would not trade him in ever!! but if I could go back in time I would have gotten him a little older and met his breeder and find out who his parents were. I would like to have another one someday, so felix could have a buddy.[/url] The care is a bit hard at first, you have to get the lighting, and temps right..then his enviroment...I read many books and searched many web sites to get it just right. They are expensive to feed, he eats greens, fruit and live food, such as worms and crickets...but eventually it will seem like nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 My son wants one badly but mom isn't too keen.She is worried about the amount of maintenance and the life expectancy. I became interested when my daughter had a birthday party at a pet store.They brought out a few lizards and I just found them to be fascinating.I love how they curl up on your shoulders. Who knows? maybe we'll get one yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wimmy Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 I love every thing about him, the way he looks at me, he is very dependent on me. Just like my cats he displays unconditional love...what a stinker!! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
