New Addition to our Family!!

Ok, so this post has absolutely nothing to do with fitness or healthy eating :)

We recently added a third member to our family!! :) Her name is Zeli and she is a 4 month old American Bulldog puppy!!!

We have been having a blast with this new pooch!!!  Right now as i sit here on a cool mountain morning, on our porch writing, she is wrapping herself around my chair and eating every stick, acorn, and leaf she can find!!!

I have always been an animal lover and have owned several dogs over many years, but I hadn't had one in over six years and now I remember why they are such wonderful companions!!! Its awesome to come home every day to have Zeli genuinely excited to see you!!! She is by far one of the most loving, sweetest puppies I have ever had!! All she wants to do is be right next to us at all times!!  Which is going to prove to be quite interesting when she gets to be 75-100 lbs and still thinks she's a lap dog!!! 

There has always been something said about owning a pet that makes us humans more happy, less stressed, and generally better individuals.  I completely agree with that!!!  

So go adopt from a shelter, humane society or where ever and find a new addition to your family!!!

Been a while....

Have you ever had one of those where you turn around and you think..."Where in the world did the time go???"... Well, I've had a couple of those weeks, and here it is August already!!! Where did the summer go??? I know that it's been a while since I last wrote, so my deepest apologies there :) I know everyone was holding their breathe waiting on my next post!! :) (hint of my delightful sense of sarcasm there...)

I have been eyeball deep in a new job that I am thoroughly enjoying as a legal assistant :) I'm having to do a sort of re org of my workout schedule though... which has proved to be a bit tricky... I missed about a week or so of my workout, which made me feel absolutely gross!! I didn't realize how much I missed my workouts and how much those workouts benefit other parts of my life as well!!  I managed to get 3 days in this week and I'm planning on some sort of workout this weekend too... Having to dig out my motivation again... I apparently fell off the workout wagon there for a bit...

How do y'all get yourself back into the swing of things when things go wonky?.....

I had to join a fitness center near my work this week to keep myself into my workouts... I'm losing my workout location due to massive numbers of college athletes coming back into town for the fall :) Not biggie though, as I have found a couple new workout buddies!!! I desperately wanted to join one of our local Box's but right now the budget won't allow that steep a "gym" membership.... Oh well.. :) Now I just get to be creative with my workouts! No sweat!! (well hopefully, lots of sweat...)

In addition to all my normal craziness, I'm trying to figure out how to dive into a near area of my photography business to try and take on some more business :)

Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend and remember to keep yourself motivated!!! The outcome is SOOO worth it!!!!
