Dog Days

Day three with Chloe. I'm on my own today. There was 4 of us taking care of Chloe this weekend. OK well maybe not 4. More like 2 1/2. Sunday was a planned rest day. Monday was not. I did not get to the gym. Was it Chloe's fault? Indirectly yes it was. I have found that little to no sleep will mess up my stomach pretty bad. As I have gotten older this has been more and more noticeable. There was no way I was going to be able to get through spin class. So I declared another rest day. I felt guilty about it but it's over and I have to move on.

Very Very important to set a routine for Chloe and myself this week. I will be going to the gym everyday this week in the morning. Whether she likes it or not. Whether she cries and howls for hours or whether she pees in the crate each time. I have to make a point to not give up my training for hers. Remembering that I still come first. Will I need to make adjustments, absolutely. Do I now get up about an hour earlier with her? Yes. Will it be hard to come home tired from the gym and try to ice my legs, get showered, eat and still manage to take her out 50 bazillion times, play with her and love her. Again absolutely. And that only brings me to about 1pm. Then it's a matter of trying to get the every day things done. Routine....I have to find it.

The plan is to head to the gym as soon as my youngest is out the door. Some swim drills and then to the treadmill if I can find one available. Hasn't anyone fallen off the resolution wagon yet? Last week I went looking for a treadmill around 10 am and out of about 50 there was 1 available. Go home people. Go take care of your dogs so I can get my workout done asap.
