Since getting a Labrador retriever puppy I've been waking double the amount of steps each day. I had a Fitbit but never checked it pre-puppy. Now I have the motivation to get walking again and I'm exceed the daily recommended 10,000 steps. I'm losing fat and trimming down.
I find I don't have the time to do DDPYoga anymore and I'm trying to figure out how to fit that back into my life again. My other struggle is healthy eating. I'm a salty snack kind of guy. I love me some chips. Any chip will do. I'm toning and trimming but I'd also drop weight quicker if I'd quit the chips.
The day after my weekly hockey game is when I'm at my lightest weight. Monday is when I'm at my heaviest. I'm not fluctuating lots though, I'm mostly maintaining a small range.
Having a dog that needs big walks is helping me to be accountable in staying active and that's a good start. It's also been a great time to bond with my wife. We get a break from the kids and have good communication because we have that 1 hour of mostly uninterrupted time when we walk the dog. She's also losing weight and toning from all the walking (she takes him for a long walk in the morning on her own) and she's looking pretty darn good now too! Benefits all around!
