I went and met up with some more of the same Army wives at Starbucks today. It was nice to see them again and there were more this time! I couldn't stay long though. I had let Bella roam inside the apartment while I was out; testing how long she could hold it/not chew on things. She did good, but then I was only gone for an hour....Not much of a test I realize:p I wished I could have stayed longer to chat with the ones I hadn't met. I hope they didn't think me rude because I basically drank a coffee and ran!
I hate to report that, ever since I got Bella, my running has taken a back seat...However, I did get out of that seat yesterday. I put Bella in the bathroom with water, food and her kennel, shut the door and made myself go. The reason I haven't run is not from the lack of want. I just feel guilty locking her in a room so I find reasons not to, like not running...I've made up my mind to stop this bad behavior though, SO today was a rest day and its back on the trail again tomorrow! As a result, I am going to have to push back my "progress" post with the run/walk thing because of my four day break:( Bad Becca! I feel like such a back slider, but that face! Lol...Well I need to get off here and go get on YouTube...E3 was on this past week and I need to attempt to watch some of it. It is all about future big game releases and sneek peeks. This is where you get a lot of your information that gets customers to reserve games. This is something we're graded on, so I need to buckle down and just watch it so I too can get lots of reserves! Hope everyone had a great Monday!
if her little face looks anything like the picture below, i dont blame u for not running! LOL!
ReplyDeleteIt is SOOO hard to not feel guilty!! I had that same experience. But in the end, you realize you have to live your life, too :)
ReplyDeleteawwww, i just started leaving piper out of the cage when i leave him alone and surprisingly he's been handling it very very well.
ReplyDeletei return home from my runs with no poop on the floor!
i call this success!!
Oooh that's so tough! When i moved to Alaska this time last year, Blaze was just a little itty bitty baby and i put him in the bathroom while i went running too. It was so sad to hear him cry :-( But he'll only cry for a little bit and then lay down to take a little puppy nap :-) So, don't feel guilty!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy that you've found some other Army Wives to kick it with. =) Can you take Miss. Bella with you on your runs? Or is it too much for her...?
ReplyDeleteWhy oh why do these weekends ever have to end?? They always go by way too fast. But it seems you made those most of it!
ReplyDeleteIt's good that you're making time for yourself! I think the same thing goes for dogs and babies -- you do need to do things for you! :)
ReplyDeleteI know it's so tough, but it's definitely for the best. We had to crate train my parents dog and now he acts like it's his little bedroom.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your run tomorrow or I guess today since I am 7 hours ahead of you ;)
So I have literally spent the last 3 hours (maybe 4, I lost count) reading EVERY SINGLE one of your posts. I know you check your "tracker", so I just didn't want you to think I was some crazy stalker. Lol. I work nights at our County Hospital, so when we're slow, I read blogs. You left me a comment (not sure how you found me) so that's how I found you. Anywho. My husband is in Afghanistan and is due to return next week - YAY! He's a Medic. We are stationed in Fort Hood,Tx. We own a house about 1 1/2 hours Northwest of Ft Jackson in Spartanburg, SC. I am going to add you to my list, if that's ok with you. I look forward to following your progress with running and hearing how the hubby is doing. Please feel free to add me too!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad she did alright while you met with us :) As far as E3 goes, the biggest thing you need to know is that they are coming out with a new PSP- PSP Go... its a slider and a lot smaller. It won't have regular games, they will be ones you download from the Playstation store on your PS3 and such. If you need a really good update you can ask my husband (he counts down the days until E3 every year... hahaha)
ReplyDeleteI think I would feel the same way about leaving a dog. That is actually one of the reasons I haven't gotten one yet. I think I would go to work, come right home, and never leave again. I just couldn't. My gym time would be nothing. It's the little eyes for me. They get me every time.
ReplyDeleteGlad you met a new friend, I love when that happens!=)
ReplyDeleteYou sound exactly like me when I first got Boomer. I hated leaving him at home for an extended amount of time and the first time I went to work I felt like such a bad dog mom. :) Bella is beautiful! What a cute little puppy!
ReplyDeleteIve been horrible with running more so because of my stress level. I feel like I am really falling behind so tonight I must push myself.
ReplyDeleteI hope Bella is adjusting well :)
With a cute puppy face like that I would be making excuses too. But the roads are calling! Get out there and jog! I've been slacking myself...
ReplyDeleteI love summer evening/afternoon picnics! Too bad there was a ton of bugs!
