The weekend...

It's very important for me to keep my schedule on the weekends.  So Saturday I was up and Cowboy and I went for our walk.  He loves getting outside and I know that the exercise is very important for him too so that's another reason for me to get up and go!  There were quite a few dog walkers out which is nice to see!.
Cowboy cracks me up.  He has a little skip when he walks.  It's hereditary ~ both his dad & grandpa had the same thing.  It's kind of hard to tell from this video since it's a bit shaky but if you pay close attention you can see what I mean:

After our walk we went home and prepared to go to the farmer's market.  Oh how I just ~LOVE~ the farmer's market!  So many yummy, colorful, bright, & cheery things to see!  So Cowboy and I set off again and took another nice walk to the market.  Check out my haul:

Cherries, berries, lettuce, potatoes, a purple bell pepper (never seen such a thing so decided to try it!), basil that smells absolutely amazing, perfect jam, and a red onion jam!

In just a short week I'm finding that it's easier for me to walk ~ time to add some distance! ~ and when I get back home I can climb the stairs to my second story condo a lot easier! :)  This is such a great feeling!  It makes me KNOW that it's working!  That I'm that much closer to my goal!

Sunday was a rest day.  I'm feeling like a tweaked my knee on Saturday so I didn't want to stress it more.  So in the afternoon Cowboy and I just went for a leisurely stroll through my city's new arboretum.  It was nice to just be out in the sunshine for a little while! :)  Maybe it sounds silly but I get motivation from Cowboy just running & frolicking & darting from tree to tree, plant to plant!  He's so curious and enthusiastic!  One of these days he'll have his match in energy!  Haha! ;)

Sunday evening I was at my friends house with their kids until they got home which was supposed to be about 10:30 pm.  A little later then my normal bedtime but I was helping them out.  But due to an accident on the highway, what should have been a 6 hour drive for them turned into a 9 hour drive - meaning I didn't get home until 1:30am!!  Nothing like that to upset the balance!  So I didn't get my resistance training in this morning.  Not to be a wasted day ~ I will be doing it after work!  It'll be hot and probably the last thing I'll feel like doing after work but I know that it's being diligent & committed that will make my goal a reality!
