Working On A Quirky Graph

I’ve been inconsistent with trying to get healthy recently. I’ve been trying to find a rhythm, trying to find something that will motivate myself and hold my interest. I’ve been failing. Walks were going well until my shins were bothering me so I stopped. Then I moved to more yoga which still wouldn’t hold my interest. Honestly I would move back and forth from getting into the moves and being frustrated that the flows would have me up and down on the mat.

Then I moved to weights. Which worked for a while, I would do smaller workouts with arms and core. My legs are shaky at best. Still though, the process is frustrating. I have to remind myself that I didn’t gain all this weight at one time and I won’t miraculously lose it all at one time either, but holy cow it is hard to stay motivated to keep moving.

This last week I adopted a dog. I’ve been thinking about getting another companion after my cats died, but I’d had cats for years. I went ahead and started looking for an older dog. This week I settled on Louie. A pit mastiff mix, he is this big ole goofball.

He and I are settling in together. He has kennel cough and is getting over heartworm but we are going to be fine. The best part, however, are the constant walks we are taking. The fresh air is good and we are constantly moving. Hopefully this will be something that sticks. But I will be honest, if my metabolism would kick into gear that would be fabulous.
