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.
It's funny how they display their displeasure with us humans, itsn't it? LOL

ReplyDeleteI 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.
