Baby stepping' to success

Went for a walk with my puppy dog today. We only went around our little neighborhood. It's only about 1 1/2 miles, but for me & my furry baby it was a trek!
She has packed on some weight since having 3 litters (27 pups in all!) and then being fixed. So I figured we could do this together.
It actually turned out to be so nice and it felt better than walking on the treadmill. The biggest benefit is I couldn't just quit when I wanted to. I had to finish the walk because there isn't a stop button 3 houses down the street.
Believe me, we were panting in time with each other. I know she felt the burn as well because she kept looking back at me with tears in her eyes and every once in a while she would bear her teeth to let me know I was a mean mommy. But we made it! I am so proud of us! We had a great walk, great talk, (yes, I have talks with my dog she's a great listener), and we accomplished baby steps towards a successful slimmer future. She might be upset with me for springing that on her now but she won't be mad for too long. Well, until tomorrow morning lol :)

Alright already!!!

OK. Fine. I'm back! After lots of prodding from friends, (get the cow reference?), I am back to blogging. I have to get back on track with my weight loss somehow and knowing that I have people reading my ridiculous rambling, makes me accountable. Somehow. I don't know if that's true, but that's what I'm going to be telling myself.

So I had a few minor set backs to help me derail my own progress. Our gym went through some drama (who doesn't love someone else's drama!) and they closed, but they have just re-opened and I joined on Saturday. Next step is, dun dun dunnnnn... I am setting up a weight loss support group there.

I know , I know, aren't only the skinny girls supposed to lead those things? Well, my theory is, if they start coming and they see me, (the fat girl), then they know I fully understand what they are feeling. The desire to eat, the lack of motivation to work out and the desperate cry for a fat reducing ice cream with magic calorie free shell topping!

Plus, they can follow me on my journey of health and succeed along with me rather than hear how, "easy it was and I didn't even realize how fast I was losing inches!". Believe me, I know each and every one of these inches and I throw it a party on it's way out!!! I know how fast, or slow, I lose them and it isn't easy. It's tough!

Besides, there are so many people yelling about weight loss on Pinterest that if I ever want to enjoy that site ever again, I better start looking at those pins as inspiration instead of a dare to eat whatever chocolaty goo I have sitting in my fridge!

Anyway, so I am recommitting to blog and to change more in my life than just my hair accessories and shoes. Pinkie promise!
