Long Road

Its has not been easy trying to finish 12 miles a week. It has not been easy trying to keep my diet good and my weight down. I have been able to see the results and that makes it better.

I keep going back to the fact that all of this is necessary. It helps the dogs to be calmer, which makes my man happier and it helps me keep in shape. Since I am not working it has been easy for me to want to sit at home and play with YouTube rather than get up and exercise.

If I kept that up it would really undo all the hard work I put in last year, and that would not help anyone. Since I have been out, I take that time, almost 2 hours to think about what I will do next. I need to get a job, that is clear and in the mean time I have been cooking up some nice dishes for the family.

I have many miles on my legs, not just from the recent walks but from years ago, when I was still in high school and my friends would see me running after school. I have walked all over Europe and even in Mexico. I would love to do more travel. It is safe to say I have miles more to go. Its a long road and with my dogs at my side, it makes the road less lonely.

Its not as if I have help in getting out there. I have to do that for myself. It takes time and planning, and there are other things I have to do in my day. I think about it and then I talk about it, then I get out there and do it. Its not easy, and I have the blisters to prove it. In the end when its done, then I see it was all worth it. I say this so no one thinks, 'sure she can do it, but I can't'. We all can, we just have to put out the effort.
