Where I left off was: Jan 17, 2010. Am I still in shape?

The Inadvertent exercise plan came about when we
  • Adopted a dog Teddy
  • I took Teddy on longer and longer walks as the temperature got under 70 degrees
  • I ended up loosing between 12 to 15 lbs
  • Plus I no longer feel like my calf muscles are turning to stone going up some hills, nor do I feel fatigued!

I am in no way suggesting one adopt any animal for the purpose of getting, or staying in shape.

If, however you want excellent company, have the time, attention and affection to share with an animal, and want to go out walking each day, & / or night, with your pet, adopting a dog is the thing to do!

Our Teddy is a Shih Tzu. Being a long haired dog, while he does not need a winter coat, he does need regular baths and brushing.

Dogs, unlike cats, do take a bit of grooming time.

Ok, this is my first blog here, and I am trying to acquaint anyone with where I left off…I think that about covers it for the moment.

Have an Excellent Weekend!
