We really are hard on ourselves for not meeting goals aren’t we? In my case, a little guilt is good because I need to lose some weight. However, I still haven’t gotten a fitness routine started so all of the guilt ends up doing is making me feel bad about myself…which isn’t very motivating. The best I can do is resolve again and again to do something and do the best I can each time. Luckily, Chester and Gretel don’t judge me and are always ready to go for a walk with me.

The first action is to admit the problem. Now that it’s out in the open, you can go about recommitting. Good job Pamela. The great thing about Honey is she lives in the moment and doesn’t think about what didn’t happen. Give her a big hug and a cookie and then go for that long walk.
Licks ans hug, BJ Pup

Busy schedule, a bad cold, housesitting chores…all conspired to make adding extra time regularly really difficult this month..we compensated with some super long adventures like yesterday’s 4 hours of hiking…it’s not the same, but Gizmo didn’t care…in fact we were out so long I actually, finally managed to tire him out … rare indeed

We do pretty good most of the time but Jack was sick this month so he had to sit out a few days and I get lazy if I don’t have to take him…but we usually stick pretty close to our routine.

In reply to Callie, Shadow, and Ducky’s Mom.

Oooh, I vaguely remember Dark Shadows when I was a kid. It came on right after I got home from school.

Maybe I’ll see if there are some old episodes on YouTube. Sounds like a good thing to do while we’re hiding from the trick or treaters tonight. 🙂

In reply to Ariella.

Sorry you’ve been sick. I only have a cold but it has slowed me down quite a bit.

Hope the morning sun brings you some healing and lots of long walks. I’m sure Bailey will be happy to see you up and around again. 🙂

Yeah, been there too with the “I failed, so I might as well fail spectacularly… get me a spoon and a quart of ice cream STAT!” But it’s so true that if we follow our pups leads, we won’t be prey to that kinda self-sabotage! Great post!

OMG, my goblins say the same thing! (Though sometimes they substitute “brownies” for “cookies.” mmmm, brownies . . . ) I’ve made great plans a hundreds this year and then fall flat on my face. I wish I could insert words of wisdom here, or some anecdote about how I got through it, but no. How pathetic is that?! I think I’m going to go make more brownies now. Dammit.

Any ideas? Words of wisdom? Helpful anecdotes? . . . . Want some brownies?

I love the Halloween pictures. I react in exactly the same way when I have an exercise fail – ‘oh well I’ve messed it up now, I may as well order a pizza…’. Thanks for the super blog. xxx

You know, we didn’t get the extra 30 minutes 3 to 4 times per week either. But we did more than we usually do and in my goblin-riddled mind, that’s what counts. The fact that you/we tried.

I wish I could live more like the dog, it’s something I’m really striving for.
