Usually don’t taking pain killers but on cold days

 Usually, I don’t take painkillers, but on a cold day after a nice day, just makes it a good night sleep that much easier. Last couple days the temperature drops ☔️ to about 0. I got a good sleep 💤 last night cause of the asprine but it never started working til midnight since asprine takes longer to work for me Most of all my stress sleep 💤 stopped at midnight til 8 am last two nights I’ve taken some pain relief 🥲 and got better sleeps 🛌 than I have this month of April.  Making a note of it since I usually rarely ever take asprine or Motrin in a sleep 💤 routine.  But it makes staying in bed way more likely for me. Got lots of blue last night, couple weeks have been all orange all night and all day, that leaves training readiness low and pulling something more likely not only my mental health and focus disruption with poor sleeps 🛌.   Keeping track and looking at better ways so I stay motivated cause it’s so easy to get stressed and pull something and give up for a few months.

Dixie loves raining days and getting dried off

  After a walk we dry Dixie off Taking time to dry Dixie off, it's good I spend the time to make Dixie feel some care and is important to be dried off and cared for.  She does such a good job 😀 standing still and leans into the towel also lifting her feet 🐾 staying in one position to be dried off.  She's a wonderful part of my day to take care of and keep her important after an amazing walk.   She runs up super happy to greet and just as quickly turns around and leaves after such an enthusiastic greeting she leaves and is gone walking and exploring with not so much as a worry about departing or a losing fallacy.   A happy dog, some would say we would need to bottle that energy up some way. I get doing a lap around and Bryan drives to meet me at the park.  I do two laps Bryan does one lap with me. In some countries or provinces like Alberta rain means prosperity.  Alberta gets so much sunshine ☀️ that when it rains ☔️ ones got to get out and enjoy 😉 it. I get taking a better

Backyard ball toss and BBQ

  Dixie with her tongue 👅 out full on laughing 😆 the whole time she played ball and a good 1/2 hour after. She is happy dog 🐕. We got on the top 1/3 of our breed active minutes. She is doing good 😌 this week. I tor out and get us each a fountain pop just a large not the biggest size.   Less pop might be better for us, lots of ice 🧊. Dixie plays really well bring the ball back majority of the time. Nice 😊 back yard fun. Ball tossing, Fountain pop, And great smiles and laughter 🤭. Dixie had a wonderful time together in the backyard! It's great to hear that she's a happy dog and that you both enjoyed playing ball and spending time outside. Remember, staying hydrated is important, so having a nice fountain pop with lots of ice can be refreshing! Keep up the good work with Dixie and continue to have fun in your backyard adventures! We are bbq pork ribs after they come out of the instant pot Kim and I cleaned 🧼 the sink, broke a glass 🥃 and then cleaned that up, emptied the

Dog walk and weights

  Want to take a picture by the riverside  I haven’t really gone by the river this spring due to how cold it is and how fast it could flow. But today I go by to take a photo so I could look at it later this year and see how much of a difference the water would be in summer months.  This spot is the longest bank of rocks 🪨 so I thought the dog wouldn’t go far if I got Closer to take a photo and could keep her off leash. About 5.5 km we actually did three laps not two and half cause I was in a caffeinated spill of energy. Got home showed him my weight lifting I do. I think after today will be on the top 1/3 of our breed for active minutes. So that’ll be great 😊 to see. Dixie is sleeping 💤 good 😊 and is active is good 😊. I’m happy 😃 to see such a great 😊 dog keeping doing well in walks and is so much better behaved now that it’s getting nice 😊 out. Less of a chore to get out for a walk and if I keep up with it becomes easier to do longer ones with multiple people. James is a pleas

Dixie is rocking the active minutes this week

  I get walking down in popsin again on my days off.  A quiet time, not much else to say but cheer on the steps for the hour. We had a good 😊 time together. Near four km in 50 minutes.  Another 13 minutes I would have been close to five km. But I didn’t bring any water 💦 and my bibs were making me sweat 😓 in the heat. So I was in about of going to subway after. Jame I went. Bryan did one lap which is awesome 😎. James and I did two, James was saying he’d do another lap but I asked him to go to subway. I was needing to eat. I got water 💧 in the Mazda and a quick sip and went to eat. Dixie waited in the car and was guarding the vehicle. 🚗  One more day off and we might get above our dog breed steps which is very near to passing. We’re 31 % above the dog breed level on my days off. It’s incredible. Dixie is rocking the steps. This week I’ve tracked 4 and 1/2 hours of walks. So the dog is doing good. 😊 I’m getting steps at work but these are just my dog walks active minutes. We are d

Another day of 5 km

  My dad and I do another 5 km took about an hour.  I really enjoy my dad‘s company. He’s a pleasure to be around. And again, I didn’t start my tracker till I got into the park 20 minutes until the walk. I keep forgetting to start it when I leave such as life. I gotta talk to him about my day about how I got off Facebook. That Facebook isn’t providing a free service, I may go on to post things to friends or look at friends profiles, but that’s not why I’m on there. I’m on there to doom scroll, 📜  They sell me advertisements on dopamine vid-hit, TikTok Instagram videos. I didn’t know what I’m gonna buy, and I’m not gonna buy like I may go on to look at friends or post things but that’s not the four or five hours I spend a day on my device that my screen time is telling me that I’m putting into this app. Sure I’m losing a lot of connections defriending a lot of people that’s the main reason why I kept on going back on. It has nothing to do. I was upset with nobody on there. All my frien

Walk on April. 1 sunshine

 ☀️ sunshine ☀️  Dixie ran into the water three or four times  Most the walk is a success, we did two and a half laps and the dog went into the water 💧 we went with water bottles. It got hot 🥵 out while walking. 🚶‍♀️  About an hour walk. Almost five km on that walk. It was great, 😊 James walked me into another half a lap.  And that’s great 😃 Dixie got her minutes high and is 9 % above her breed. My days off start now and I did a shorter day at work today and took her for a walk. She loved 🥰 her self looked at me smiling ☺️ on the bench, had a dog laugh look 👀 .  She was very happy. Even looked up at the sun and looked like she gave a big great smile 😊 going in a trance squinting at the warmth. We’re both happy 😃 the sun was shining today. Dixie active minutes are good today her 💤 sleeps are yellow so a little weary 😩 today. James and I in our second lap going for another half lap. No much chit chat today, I think we just enjoyed each of our company on the walk with the dog.
