Today, I went walking. I haven't walked in a while and it's been so sporadic and inconsistent lately that my group of ladies didn't join me. Leonard was so happy to be going out that when he realized that is what we were going to do, he ran and climbed into his stroller by himself. We did our walk and at a slower than usual pace because I couldn't bare to leave Dakota behind. She cries. We stopped a few times along the way and I stopped for a good 1/2 hour or so at the park so Leo could play.
The odd thing is, my whole house seems to be much more balanced. Memphis is not wigging out in the backyard. Leo isn't bugging about the TV as much today. In fact, he's only asked for it once (I dare to hope that we may be finally turning a corner with the whole mess).
I knew Leo looked forward to our walks, and I know Memphis NEEDS our walks...I just didn't know it would be a part that was missing from our routine if I failed to squeeze it in. All the more incentive to keep it up.

You inspire me. I skipped the gym Saturday and Monday (and, with our lovely health problem, that's like pulling a ripcord on my thighs.) I was going to skip today, too, but no more. I'm heading upstairs as soon as I hit "Publish Your Comment."
See....? Blogging is an inspirational tool. If you can get Jacki to the gym...that's a miracle in itself! Hahaha! She'll kill me if she ever sees this comment!
That is pretty dang cute. I don't know...it seems like these moments are GEMS in life. I walked KAIJU yesterday and it was so cool. We jogged and we walked and like you guys..he hasn't done it in months with the exception of one time when Irene was here last week. But yeah...he is such a better dog and easier to deal with when he get out too!
BTW: I meant to tell you that anytime we were undergoing change in our house...For instance getting the kids on board with Scripture reading...it took us a solid 3 weeks before they were "good" about it. It seems like that was the way it was with our family. Change was 3 days or 3 weeks. But in the end...they come around and it was worth it.
