People Must Think I am Crazy...

Ok, so I am working my week from Sunday to Saturday and so going to the gym today will give me my 5 days this week! Check! I hopped on the scale today and it is down 2.4lbs, though my official weigh in isn't until Monday morning...but that is a good sign!

Now for the title of my post...Jimmy works at the bar on Tuesday and Wednesday nights, he goes there straight from the office. So I am here with Charley all day and then all night, no biggie as I wouldn't give up my time with her for the world. But it does present a challenge when the dogs need their daily walk after dinner. See we have 3 labs (one is a mix) and the smallest one weighs 65lbs...and the largest 85lbs, so on average totaling about 250lbs of dog. So I have found out...well I attempted it twice last week, that I can walk all 3 dogs while pushing Charley in her stroller. YES I CAN :) Though everyone driving through our neighborhood that sees me doing this must think I am absolutely out of my mind.

Ok, yes I could take one or two at a time and leave the others home, but truthfully, they all like walking together, walk better together in my opinion and I don't have the heart to leave any of them at home...my husband also thinks I am nuts because of this, but so be it. Yes it takes us a lot longer then usual, but we have fun. And I get an extra 40 min of walking in on those days too.

Jimmy wants a picture of this ordeal, if I ever get one I will post it, but being that I don't do it when he is home (to take a picture) I doubt I will!

Ok, Jimmy took Charley to run some errands, so that I could clean up around here since my parents and brother and SIL are coming tomorrow for an early Mother's Day cookout...and here I am blogging. I need to get to cleaning so I don't get caught when they come home!!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Adios!!

Congrats on your un-official weight loss!! :) I'm worried about taking our dog for walks with the stroller and she is 90lbs, but she seems to like to pull when she sees other dogs which will not be acceptable when I'm also trying to push a stroller IMO! I'm trying hard to teach her not to pull anymore but she is old and you know what they say!? ;) I may have to go for 2 walks, one with baby and one with the dog?

I remember trying to push Mikayla in her stroller while trying to walk two dogs on a leash who are great at walking on a leash. I finally gave up and luckily I live in a quiet neighborhood with TONS of dogs so I let them go off leash.

I need to post a pictures of me riding my bike to work on my work clothes, one pant leg rolled up, back pack on my back and breast pump on my side!
