Running and Puppy Socialization Woes

I had never noticed just how important having internet really is!  This week was definitely one of the most hectic ones I have had in a while, and I think it was because of miscommunication and lack of internet.  For one reason or another, I didn’t have internet at my house for the greater part of the week (hence why I am already starting off an inconsistent posting schedule).  And while I was stressed out because I couldn’t get online to search for jobs, research the position I was interviewing for (didn’t get it) and other things that require internet, I did find myself with a lot more me time that allowed me to check off some things from my never ending to-do list.

 

Get back to running

I’ve been wanting to get back into the groove of things for a while now, but adorable puppy memes and youtube keep me well occupied.  It wasn’t an issue this week!

I use the handy dandy Nike + running app to track my runs, and it is the greatest app ever if you are the least bit competitive!

 

Quality Puppy Time

I have been NEEDING to take my pup out to the dog park more because he is picking up some awful habits.  He likes to bark at everyone, and while that is an annoying trait, it is understandable, but he just needs to be socialized!

Isn’t he adorable?

Does anyone have any tips on puppy socialization? He almost got into a fight this last time, and unfortunately for him, he picked it with a lab twice his size!

Healthy Nachos and Tired Puppies

So far I have good news! I had a very promising phone interview a few days ago which led to an in-person interview early next week, so I will keep you posted!

In other news, the fiancé and I are trying the whole healthy eating, working out thing.  We are both big fans of working out, but unfortunately we have been known to head over to Applebee’s for a late night snack of half-priced appetizers, aka we ruin any progress that we make at the gym.  While I am trying to be healthier for the whole live longer, happier, stronger thing, I can’t help but say that engagement pictures and wedding dress shopping give me a very good reason to step up my game.

I’ve been making some healthy changes, and am proud to say that they are not all as horrible as I’d thought! The fiancé was in the mood for his delicious chili nachos, and while they were tempting, I took a healthier alternative and tried Katy Grace’s Bell Pepper Nachos, and needless to say, they were delicious!

 

I was able to use some of the ingredients that he was using, but keep it completely vegetarian.

We have been so busy moving him out of his place that we hadn’t had a chance to workout properly.  This morning, we went on a run, and wanted to take Keelo along because he hadn’t been out of the neighborhood in a long time.  Unfortunately, we went out right before noon and our poor pup was too hot to go too long, even once we switched to walking.

So precious!

I am very interested in how far I can push myself and my body (healthily of course), and I will be sure to update my progress here! I have read that people who blog about it have a better chance at succeeding!

Enough for now, but I wanted to tell you that I really appreciate everyone that has been reading!
