I started a new job over a week ago, and I’ve also started a new exercise plan to go along with it. As I said in an earlier blog post, my weight loss stalled for a while, and I knew that it was time for me to start burning some calories and to get my muscles into shape. Enter my evening walks/jogs. 

Every evening when I get home from work, I get out of my work clothes and put on some exercise clothing and grab the leash. My dog is now a part of my exercise regimen as I take him with me. Now when I come home from work, he is excited to see me change and jumps up my leg when he sees me grab the leash.

I can’t believe I’m about to write the following words, but it really has been an enjoyable way to end my work days. The dog loves it, and I listen to podcasts while I walk. I get to get out and burn some calories, the dog gets his exercise, and I feel pretty good afterwards. By the time I’m done, Sherry is home from work and making dinner so if she needs help, I give her a hand.

 It’s a nice routine we’ve settled into, and coupled with my weight loss and new lifestyle, I feel like I’ve rebooted my life. It feels great!
