Maggie and I are both having a lazy day after her walk and our nap. I’ve gotten so lazy that Maggie’s walks have devolved into quick little jaunts around the neighborhood – something to be rushed and hurried. Maggie doesn’t want to come inside when we get home knowing she has been short changed. I feel terrible about it, but I no longer have the desire, heart or inclination to spend two hours everyday walking six miles.

I think the motivation comes and the motivation goes, it's a cycle, an ebb and flow as the days go on. It usually takes some big event or some well placed words of practical advice from someone i respect to get me fired up and motivated again. I try not to beat myself up and try to remember that i just need to continue to live healthy and the ebb and flow will swing the other way and i'll have the motivation to do those things again.
