What I did today..

 

This happened today. I've been trying to be better about taking the dogs on walks.

 

 

Also today..I made a new friend..kind of. This is a stray dog rescued off the streets by a co-worker. She has named him Pumpkin. Pumpkin is old, he can't see, he can't hear, he has arthritis, he is under-weight, he has a urinary tract infection, AND he is heart worm positive. I've been sharing him like crazy on Facebook hoping to raise some money for his vet bills and to find him a foster, or better yet a forever, home. So far, no luck with a home..foster or otherwise. Send a good thought Pumpkins way, he deserves a safe place to live out his remaining years.

Day Twenty: Before/After

There was a time, not so very long ago, that I was 100% positive I would never again be anything but chunky. I didn't bother holding on to clothes that were too small because I was completely convinced I would never fit into them again. I was resigned to have back pain from just sitting there..to being winded from walking half a block.

I never imagined I would be participating in 5k's. Or going on Turkey Trots just for the fun of it. I never ever thought I would be at the gym so often that the instructors recognize me. Or leave the gym covered in sweat and feel so satisfied.



I was stuck for a long, long time. And even though I thought about how much easier my life might be if I were skinnier..I didn't understand what it would really mean to finally be pro-active about my life..and my health..and my happiness. It has been a re-wiring of my thoughts, how I look at myself, and how I treat my body. It has been a transformation of habits. It has been eye-opening and empowering.

Life is good on the flip side.

Day Nineteen: Funny

Remember when life was this simple? A cheap plastic pool, a bucket, and a little water was all you needed to have hours and hours of fun. Add in Popsicles and life could NOT be sweeter.

Day Eighteen: A Corner of Your Home

This is Duke's corner. I think he likes this corner because it makes him feel safe {he's a bit of a chicken dog} and its out of the way {he has a tendency to get stepped on}. In the mornings when we are getting ready for work this is where he continues to snooze once he moves out of the bedroom.

Day Fifteen: Car

SSoooo, I'm cheatin' a little with today's photo. Because I didn't take it. But I decided to use it anyways because I love it and it makes me happy to look at it. My sister and I took pictures as part of my Moms Christmas gift one year. It was freezing outside and I couldn't feel my toes by the time we were done. But NO ONE can say I don't love my Momma.
