This is all that’s left of my favorite treat…
A Giant Weight Watchers chocolate ice cream bar.
Big Sigh….
They go away so fast.
It was only 7 minutes ago that I was taking it out of the freezer and now it is gone.
Oh so sad for me because really If I stick to my points schedule I can’t have anything to eat till after 3:00 which is a whole hour away.
I guess it is time for me to go for a walk or at least get outside!
Away from the kitchen, Away from food, and away from the temptations
Wow!
I feel much better now!
It’s always good to have a plan. :)
Oh and I am not really sad, well at least not for long.
But really it is a little depressing to realize what you just ate, and how it is already gone yet you still want more.
Sometimes you just have to wait awhile and let your brain catch up with your stomach…
or would that be your stomach catching up with your brain.
no matter you know what I mean.
On another note I finally attained that 10 minute mile.
actually it was a 9.59 mile but hey who is counting!
I found the perfect jogging incentive…
My dog buddy!
He loves to go on walks with me so I decided…
Hey I’ll try a jog.
He loved it!
He ran just a little ahead of me for most of the way.
Then at the very end he started to get tired.
So then I would just hear the steady pant and the clicking of his paws behind me.
So I really did have a dog chasing me!
Although what I actually thought was
I’M WINNING!
And I did!
So are you impressed?
I just beat my 11 year old dog who has arthritis in the 1 mile jog!
Quite an accomplishment!
(My 15 year old son pointed this out to me when I triumphantly told him “I beat Buddy”)
Kids keep you humble at all ages.
Hey thanks for listening, now I only have to wait 50 minutes till I can eat something. :)

Suz - I once took someone's dog on a run with me and he was not a fan of me. So, I literally had to drag him down the road. Not conducive to running. Or even walking for that matter. :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the under 10 mile! I'm looking forward to running with you at the lake. I have not run in forever, but it's fun with you!
Congratulations, Susie!!! Way to go! Do I dare share with you that I originally decided to move forward with purchasing my dog (12 years ago) for just what you described - a jogging buddy. I had read online and heard that pets were HUGE motivators to get you to walk/run. When she was younger we ran all over the place - I was WAY skinnier than I am now - we had a blast. But I totally get what Kristen said . . . as she got older, she got slower so it was more of me running and dragging her behind me. Since then, we have stopped . . . and I've gotten fat (hope Julie doesn't read that - she'll threaten to take a point off for being negative). Dogs are great buddies for all types of things! Glad you have found your motivation! Congrats on improving your time.
