4-Legged Personal Trainers

Firstly a big thank you to everyone who commented on my last post. So many of us that are on this journey have problems with emotional eating and I really feel like what I achieved yesterday was a success. As cliche'd as it is, if I can succeed through this battle so can EVERYONE! I keep trying to remind myself that eating that comfort food just isn't worth it - I deserve better than that and I will make sure I get better - after all it IS in my control.

I didn't get to my 10,000 steps today, I ended up having a busy day at the office and soon after I got home some friends arrived with their kids as we offered to babysit while they had a night out so the treadmill missed out for the night! I did take the dogs for a brief walk but it was getting dark when I headed out so I didn't go as far as I would have liked, but it was a good workout all the same! We walked out of our gates to see a big dog just ahead of us - Jessie and Tara were chasing the dog with such force they literally dragged me along, I had to walk quite fast to just keep up with them, perhaps I should follow other dogs being walked in the future, just to get an even better workout.

I'm looking forward to having the day off for Australia Day tomorrow - i'm heading to the gym tomorrow morning with the intention of pushing myself to a full 90 minutes workout (25 minutes treadmill, 25 minutes bike, 25 minutes rower, 15 minutes weights) - will let you know how I get on with it! Plus i've already decided that this pedometer will give me 5 bonus points tomorrow, and you can bet that if I want it i'll make it happen, even if it means wearing the dogs (or the treadmill) out in the process!
