Anyone with 2 pups!
It used to be a little frustrating walking our two doggies. Vinny is a good walker but can get distracted; Gino is distracted nearly the entire time. I would have to walk them on either side of me which meant that each hand had a leash in it. The other day we bought a leash from Petsmart that allows you to walk BOTH dogs on ONE leash! It's not this exact one, but that's basically the style. The pups figured out right away that they needed to walk calmly together or they would go flying in whatever direction the other would attempt to go.
It made walking them so fun that we did 40 minutes yesterday morning and 20 minutes last night! And another 40 minutes this morning! They are sound asleep and content now. :o)

Losing it!
Howdy!
So my weight loss "journey" has been rather disappointing and long... up until now! It has taken a few weeks but I am on my way to losing a little over 10 lbs! There are two websites I am now using on a regular basis that I highly recommend to anyone trying to lose weight/live a healthier lifestyle. Both of these I found on other friends' blogs.
1) FREE calorie counter and more! This website has helped me IMMENSELY. I had always been one to say "I will never count calories." After trying this site out I see how EASY it really is. On this FREE site you: track calories, carbs, trans fats, cholesterol, etc. You track your exercise and calories burned. You can have your profile/food diary as visible or accessible as you want. The people you meet on there are SO motivational and a lot are going through the same thing as you. Honestly you HAAAAVE to check this out!
2) Activity Calculator Scroll to the bottom and enter your weight and duration of activity. It has everything from gym activities to office work!
Hope these can help you like they have helped me!

This year is half over?!
Being that 2011 is half over already, I thought I would look at my goals I had set:
1) READ BIBLE EVERY DAY!
This, sadly, I have not done. I read my daily scripture every day but I have not actually opened my bible every day. THIS is THEE MOST important thing to work on!
2) Raise at least $400 for the MS walk on Sunday May 1, 2011. I want to walk the 7 miles so...
ACCOMPLISHED! We raised $1,215.00 AND walked the full 7!
3) Be prepared to walk the 7 miles by walking everyday for at least an hour (or more)!
I did not walk EVERY DAY but I DID walk a lot to prepare!
4) Take vitamins everyday!
So far so good!
5) Teach Gino new tricks.
We haven't taught him any new tricks BUT we have gotten him a buddy named VINNY that he has had to learn with.
Cheers to the rest of the year!
Gino and Vinny are good buddies!

Fruits of the Spirit Galations 5:22-23
22 But when the Holy Spirit controls our lives, he will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. Here there is no conflict with the law.
