Slack Week
Two weeks ago I started my first "power week" where I walked on my lunch break, after work, and did a muscle building routine in the mornings. Almost every spare minute I had was used to do something that burned calories. This week is completely the opposite and I'm wondering what to call that. I can't call it a lazy week because that feels like giving myself permission to go rogue.
Today I came to work armed with a smoothie in my belly, carrots and celery sticks for snacks and some string cheese and crackers to keep me from eating my arm off. All was well until lunchtime came and I just wanted a break. I went to do a little shopping for a little event I'm helping to plan for the weekend and treated myself to some lunch that didn't include many veggies... It also didn't include french fries so there is still hope for me yet...
I am looking forward to a nice long walk tonight and pretty soon Brutus will be able to join me again! His splint came off yesterday because he had healed so well. I've missed that part of my routine because there is something entrancing about watching his adorable little dog behind when I feel like I've hit the wall. I watch his little wiggle and before I know it I've forgotten any discomfort.
Last night I skipped a walk because grocery shopping had to be done but also because I didn't want to leave Brutus at home alone when he was all doped up. It was impossibly funny but could have been somewhat dangerous if the cat lured him off the couch. When the doctor brought him back out after the sedation yesterday he was drooling and his eyes were going in two different directions.. I think I've felt like he looked after a night of drinking a few times but the mommy bone in me just couldn't leave him alone like that so we had some good quality time together instead. Sometimes those things are going to happen and that's ok. The danger is getting to comfy when I don't go and Brutus will be a big help there when he stops being a couch potato.
