Day 21 Dog Walking

Hey There! 

I just got home from the fitness center!  I did a little over a hour on the treadmill.  I got up to a level 15 at 3 mph and then ran for slightly over a minute at the very end of my workout.  I did that yesterday too…I truely hope Im able to run like the wind 100 pounds from now.  I really think I would like it but its just a bit too hard on the knee right now. 

I havnt logged my food today but Im sure Im probably still under 1000.  Eck.  Im terrible.  But atleast I have like a natural calorie cycling thing going on.  I didnt do so great with water either but tomorrows another day I suppose!  I also weighed again tonight and Im down another pound…Im at 265.   8 more pounds till my 1st mini goal!  Im super excited!    I’ll be posting my official weigh in AND measurements tomorrow on my log page!  =)

So I came up with the business idea since I cant freakin find a job.  Im sure if I gave it a couple more weeks and put in a couple more apps I would find something seasonal but we’re broke RIGHT now.  Sooo dog walking popped in my head since Im pretty flexible and usually always home.  Its actually a great idea in theory because I live in a pretty big apartment complex with a ton of dogs!  Everyone is always coming home at night walking their dogs around.  I absolutely HATE to leave Harrison at home for 8-9 hours at a time which Im sure alot of people do to their animals because of work.  So I spent a couple hours today making flyers and coming up with a simple plan.  I advertised pretty much as having an option to do a 25 minute walk for 10 bucks or just doing a “pee and poop” walk for 5 bucks…I also threw in a weekly cost based on 5 days that would be a bit cheaper than paying daily.  If I can get enough dogs that would give us enough money to pay my bills and I will get exercise doing it!  I would feel MUCH better paying my car payments and other bills than Ben having to pay it all.   Sooo I hope its as great in practice as it seems in theory!  It sure would lower my stress!  I put out 8 flyers tonight in the mail box areas so wish me luck!!!! 

Hope everyone had a great day!  Stay Strong!  ONWARD!  =)
