6 A.M. Dog Walking and Evening walk.

 An hour walk this morning 🤠


I get up start walking around the pond 😄 with Dixie, only saw about 3 people jogging 👟 or walking this morning.

A brisk walk. My hands were cold due to I was on the phone but I took a few good photos.

I was home at about 7:30-7:45 about.

My stepper only got to 5k of steps.  Which I find if your tall your strides are bigger and you get less steps but travel farther which in thermodynamics is still more energy used.


Dixie went sleeping after I got up at five.  And I mande my self some green tea. I've been coffee ☕ free for about 4 weeks.

After my tea I go to the bedroom door. Which Dixie has taken my spot on the bed.

I say in a whisper, "Dixie; you want to go for a walk".

Her head perks up and gives me a tilt of her head and jumps to the front door.

So I feel good in the morning enough to get up and go for a walk before sunrise.  It start to come up mid first lap around the pond.

Ive been told to "watch" my spending. Last night I say my head's been spinning on how many watches I could get for quiting smoking.

Which I then said there could be worst things.

I sort of researching it for the last 29 days.


Yet a refurbished watch would most likely be just as good.

End of day we go for a one and a half hour walk.


Dixie when she got home 

Got a clean water 💦 dish and fresh water. She did laps around the 🏠 house.  We walked all the way to Smitty's and back.

I felt great, even was not to hot. When we started it got warm but on the way back I was happy for the fleece jacket and insulated hat.  Even if I was sweating at the end. I feel good.

The steps are well worth it.


Dixie slowed down at the end then got a boost of energy when I started naming buildings way far ahead and as we were getting closer. She even went off leash for a bit, which I think is important for her to get.

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...
