I snuck by the puppy

Good day folks, hope all of you are right into your New Years resolutions, goal setting, plans, hopes, dreams – or whatever it is you are doing for 2012. I certainly am…..

I planned on spending yesterday getting my stuff ready for the work week – kind of like my Sunday cooking spree, but Mr. Sandra had different plans. I had gotten up and got right on the treadmill (after attending Ms. Katie, and Ms. Maggie) and spent 45 minutes walking then 15 minutes stretching. I really really need to keep stretching, everyday, all day. Anyway, after my walk, I put a second coat of paint on the feature wall in the office and Mr. Sandra walked in and asked me to go shopping with him. I so didn’t want to go, I wanted to stay home and organize my days, but I went anyway.

He was planning to go away for a couple of days snowmobiling out in the mountains (he told me the night before) and needed some gear (he left today and he is such a last minute person – not organized at all). So we went and bought helmets and he got pants/gloves to hopefully keep warm. We have purchased a snowmobile from his son, but due to the lack of snow we have here, it is still in Fernie, BC with his son.

So today, I left for work and he left to play in the snow (can’t wait until I’m retired).

I had a good day overall eating and was happy I got some exercising in. I actually slept pretty good last night for once.

This morning I got up at 4, got dressed, snuck by the puppy (like she didn’t hear or see me …) and went downstairs. I did a slow walk/jog of C25K session and then stretched. When I was done, I snuck back past the pup, and went upstairs and showered and then from then on it was the same routine she is used to. She didn’t bark once. I was so happy. So having successfully done day one, she will get used to me going by without talking to her or letting her out and that eventually I will come get her. I am glad I can get my routine going again….

Since Mr. Sandra is away for two days, he took Ms. Maggie with him as she is still too young to be home alone for 10+ hours (which is the amount of time I am away from the house). Ms. Kate is 3 yrs old and can handle the wait. So it’s me and the big girl for a couple of days. But this means I won’t be going to Hot Yoga tonight because that would make it 13+ hours for Ms. Kate to be alone and that’s pushing it.

Mr. Sandra’s timing is perfect because this is day 3 of completing Goal #4 100% and it is usually day 3 he wants to go out for a beer and a game of golden tee golf. And I ALWAYS give in. This time I won’t. While out shopping yesterday he wanted to stop by before going home and I said no. He pouted but didn’t say any more. He can have some fun with his son and leave me doing what I need to do right now.

I hope you all have a FANTASTIC day!

Sandra
