Always visit folks with dogs and offer to take over their dog-walking responsibilities. Then treat the dog to longer walks than usual. Only the windiest, coldest days limited the length of my walk - even then, walking around the perimeter of Federal Hill park prevented me from jumping ship mid-stream. Normally, at home without a dog I use audio-books to motivate myself and then walk by the clock (30 minutes out and then back). With a dog, in the city, there are so many more interesting walking options. All in all, this has been quite a sedentary week without exercise classes. Yet, here it is Sunday and I appreciate having a change in routine. I am re-energized. From day one when I behaved like a zealot afraid to eat any offending carbs, as the week progressed we had pasta and totally enjoyed dinning out at Ullswater's off their restaurant week menu.
Whatever the new regime, the balance of diet and exercise is working nicely for a vacation experience. I am off all grains until dinner and taking two walks daily. My departing gift to Floyd, my grandchild beagle, is the restaurant week Osso Buco veal shank bone.
