I went to turn on the TV two nights ago and thought better. I announced to my boyfriend that I was starting a new book given that it’s Spring Break. School has been an excuse to not read anything but text books, but I’m throwing that out now. So I started one of his books on his recommendation. Read a chapter the first night and fell asleep. Read three chapters last night and it feels good. I’ll still watch a little tube during the day (esp during the workout) but the book thing is definitely helpful!

I don’t know what happened, but today I was able to stick to the routine! I did a little brisk walking to warm up, then ran for a minute and walked for 90 seconds for 20 minutes. AND, the last run, I did THREE minutes, pushing me over the 20-minute mark. It feels pretty good. I didn’t go very fast, and I was inside running back and forth, but it’s still good, darn it. I’m happy.
Maggie is now 8 months old. She knows sit, roll over, down, kennel up, stay, and come. But she decides when she’s going to listen and when she’s going to just jump all over. She’s particularly good when it’s just us, but add one more person and it gets worse. Add two+ people and forget it. When she was 5 months old I signed her up for puppy training classes. We went to ONE. ONE! Well, it’s time to be good again. Maggie’s getting too big to be untrained. So I called the teacher and she agreed that we can come back in for the new classes starting Saturday. So we’re going. That’s it. No excuses.
