I have been off from work all week, which has been nice. Unfortunately, instead of working out like I had planned, I’ve spent all of one day at home this week. Just today. We’ve been out everywhere, to relatives and even to other states. I’m kind of upset, I’ve gained weight and I feel it and see it when I put on jeans, etc… I’m annoyed with myself. It’s my own fault.

Today I attempted a short run with new running shoes I just bought at the Adidas outlet. They are lightweight, so I’m going to have to take it easy in them until I build up foot/leg strength to keep my knee healthy. Chris rode by next to me on his bike, with Bambi in the basket.

Poor Bambi, she decided to jump from the bike (she’s never done that when I am riding) and landed on her side. She has a scrape on her butt which I have to wash. Luckily, she seems to be doing okay other than the scrape. This week has been a horrible week for her. She had some good tasty steak juices on her food on Monday… this led to two days of vomitting and diarhea. Then, she had to go get her nails cut, which she absolutely hates. I have to muzzle her and squeeze her tight to keep her still while they do it at the pet store. The next day, she had to see the vet for her yearly vaccines. Shots, blood taken, exams… She’s had a rough week and tomorrow she’s getting a bath I guess dogs have bad weeks too, but she sure seems to be bouncing back easily from it all.

Maybe I could learn something from Bambi. I’ve gained weight, I’m upset and feeling like I’m getting nowhere. I just have to live like her a pick myself back up. I’ve been eating out all week, eating junky and not on a schedule. Each day I just have to keep starting over and one of these days it’ll all stick.

Have a good night or morning…
