And we march...

Day 2 of working it!

Here's the thing I find interesting: I'm willing to wake up at 5am to walk the dogs on seperate walks because they need exercise but I'm not willing to walk myself. That's a crying shame. I was so proud of myself yesterday. I woke up, walked little girl and Buddy 1 mile. Then I took them back and fed them. I walked little boy separately for 1/2 mile. Ahhhh the life of a single momma.

At lunch yesterday, I was feeling exceptionally happy so I went and walked at the mall across the street from my job.

Last night, Skinny got home. I've never been so excited in my life to see that boy. I missed him terribly. I use to not get this way. I've always been happy he's home but I think having to run the entire house by myself was a little more than I was expecting. I cleaned all day Sunday and you can't even tell. Those dogs...they run wild!

I told Skinny my new plans for the doggies. I asked for his help for our wild child and he most willingly agreed to help.  This morning, we woke up at 5:30 and walked 1.25 miles together. I took Buddy and our little girl together, he took the wild child until it was clear that he was a bit much for him so we switched. He had 100+ lbs of dog on his arms and it was easier than the little 20lbs that I had. Crazy man.

I'm not going to walk at lunch because I think it would be overkill today but I do feel great. I always forget how pleasant I am after a walk. Why don't I do it more often? My little wild man is requiring me to do it more now. I look forward to the day that we have a fence that I can let him run and prance after bugs but he'll still need walks. And our little girl is doing great on her walks, you have to drag her at first but then she starts to get it. I think this walking 3 at once thing has been quite helpful to her confidence and my confidence too. :)
