Holiday walks


 

I get out after Christmas

After eating so much.  I know cause I keep gaining weight.  Or so far this last month it has balanced out at 233lbs.

I should make this blog my healthy way of living after letting go of restraint on my weight.


Yet a 45-minute walk down in the river bottom.  All the dogs out.  Every one of the males.  Dixie has no competitors.  All the dogs chase after her.  At first she will lead the charge yet along the road she's running away mostly getting nipped and trampled. 

We enjoy it. 

Afterwards, we stop at Tim's and I get her an old fashion donut 🍩.

No wallet of course.

By the time I'm home I have interpreted that I have lost serious time on finishing my book. 

And get home to open book yet have to write a blog post before that. 

Talking with my sweet wife, she goes why didn't you invite me.  Every walk I ask you to come and it's always no.  I was going out the door when you got up from a nap.

I thought if I asked it would be no.


Yet the socializing was huge, got to say.  It felt like we sniffed and kissed and jumped and rolled all through the river bottom.  

I noticed a but of a favouring on her right leg near the end of the walk.  Yet that seems to of not tired get as much as the walk.  


Here to here to those dogs of their runs.  Their dogs tired from the energy change.

Covid has changed our dog.  Socializing there's less stuff and their is walks in the river bottom seem as those walls of covid disappear and another world 🌎 out their with dogs.


Feel sort of bad, would of liked Kim to come, the socialist and calling the dog and when she came made the walk enjoyable.  She stayed close enough not to panic.  Tossed the ball, the folks got to throw the ball, so did i. Basically the dog got all of us tossing the ball in their goal of global domesticating humans.

The bog has here eyes closed and sleeping in the recliner on a blanket.  Her adventure an amazing adventure at to that.

I will have to see, Kim to come maybe next weekend.

Celebrating Ten Years and Living My Best Life🧘‍♂️ A Quiet Day at Home

  🎉 Celebrating 10 Years Together Last night was a beautiful celebration of a decade spent with Kim. We marked our 10-year anniversary with a cozy dinner at The Keg, where I indulged in a hearty 20 oz steak and Kim opted for a more modest 8 oz cut. It felt so good to get out together and enjoy a special evening. We kept things simple—just water to drink, with fresh bread and salad to start. The atmosphere was perfect, and I soaked in every moment of our time together. We’re incredibly grateful for our families, who made the night even more special. My parents generously gave us cash to enjoy our dinner, and Kim’s parents gifted us movie money so we could extend the celebration. Their thoughtfulness reminded us how lucky we are to be surrounded by love and support. Family and friends made it sweeter We were so blessed by our families: my parents gave us cash to enjoy the night and Kim’s parents sent money for a movie treat. Our friends even gifted us a 20% tip card for the meal...

Gratitude, Good Food, and Good Books

 A Thanksgiving weekend of family meals, long walks, and reaching 86 books this year Bryan and I headed out for a walk after he returned from his sister’s Thanksgiving gathering, settling into a steady 30‑minute pace that carried us just under 2 km. The air was crisp with a light breeze, the kind of weather that makes movement feel effortless. I’ve always loved these cooler temperatures—my body doesn’t have to work as hard, and the transition from “easy mode” into a gentle warm‑up felt natural. Carrying 30 pounds with me added that extra layer of challenge, but it blended seamlessly into the rhythm of the walk. We paused at a park bench along the way, taking a moment to sit together before snapping a photo. That small break reminded me how these walks are as much about connection as they are about distance or weight carried. The combination of fresh air, conversation, and the grounding presence of the season made the outing feel restorative. It wasn’t just a walk—it was a reminder...

Back in Stride: A Run Worth Celebrating

 After seven weeks of setbacks and recovery, I laced up with Dixie and reclaimed my rhythm—3.64 km of steady effort, heart in the aerobic zone, and a reminder that progress starts with showing up. This afternoon, Dixie and I laced up and headed out for a run while the daylight was still holding on. It felt so good to be back out there after a bit of a break, moving at our own pace and enjoying the fresh air together. There’s something about running with Dixie that makes the effort lighter—her energy and joy keep me motivated, even when I’m easing back into the rhythm. At first, I thought about pushing myself to five kilometers, but I remembered the back pain I’ve been dealing with and decided to listen to the advice of my AI fitness coach: don’t overdo it on the first run back. That reminder helped me focus on the joy of the moment instead of chasing distance. Sometimes the smartest choice is to start slow, and today proved that pacing myself was exactly what I needed. The run en...
