- I will take my dogs to Hartley Nature Center for a 30-40 minute walk/run, 3 times during the week days. Things went much better this week. I really stuck to the schedule and along with having the extra days off this week, we were able to stay out and play longer.
- It still is tricky to fit it into my schedule, but now it has been easier getting up earlier to give myself more time to get out there. My strategy, since I'm not a morning person, is to not press the snooze button. There's no point in trying to fall back asleep once my alarm has already gone off...Might as well face the day on my first chance.
- Once I get up and going the cold fresh air is refreshing! I'm awake and I'm alive...Seeing the two puppies literally frolicking through the trails is so fun. When I'm outside I catch myself continually smiling and all I do is laugh at how joyful those two are together. It's nice to take the time to not worry about all the other stressors waiting for me.
- Next week I want to continue going strong. Maybe throw in an extra afternoon walk...or Abby really enjoys helping shovel snow! She chases it and jumps like a kangaroo every time i throw the snow off to the side. Get a little extra outdoor activity. (I'm planning on getting one of those ergonomic shovels with all these snow storms a'comin.)

Your goal seems fun! What a great lifestyle change. It's awesome that you have been enjoying it especially since your dogs love it too. I am jealous because I miss my dogs so much when I am in Duluth. Walking outside is definitely a stress reliever too.
ReplyDeleteI can just picture the cute little puppies running through the trails. What a fun goal!! Keep up the good work! P.S. the shovel sounds interesting I am going to check into the also. That snow is really heavy.
ReplyDeleteYour dogs sound adorable! It's great that you have a goal that's not only good for you, but for your pets as well. I bet they appreciate the extra time outside too. I don't know if I would be nearly as eager to stay outside as much as you now that it's cold. I'm impressed with how committed you are to this! Good job!
