I have been doing a second job now for a month or so and it dawned on me that I would have never been able to do this before my weight loss!
I am a dog walker!  I work for a woman that has a very large clientele and I,  3-4 times a week walk up to 3 or 4 dogs thirty min. each!
Not only does this keep me exercising..... its mind blowing that before I would have never been able to keep up with these loving four legged maniacs!
The cats are much more calm !    LOL

So just wanted to share that with you all............ things change now and I don't realize the change in me because being this size is starting to be my "norm"

So don't put off things.... the rewards are huge !!

Hugs to you all
Keep your eye on the prize!!!!!!

How exciting and what a great 2nd job!  This is definately something I'd like to do one day as a 2nd job. I LOVE dogs! (Or maybe I'll start walking my own two, something I NEVER do!)

UM -- you forgot to mention your are RUNNING with these dogs too.  And that the big dogs actually drag your skinny butt down the street on the ice.

Fitness is not about age or a size -- it's really about an attitude and life style!!!
Life is not measured by the number of breathes we take, but by the moments that take our breathe away~~

Thanks for sharing. I looked at the site too, pretty nice. Will keep it in the back of my mind for after winter lol. I used to be a Supervisor at a vocational site  for persons with disabilities. One of the individuals landed a job with a local nursing home that had 2 dogs. He would go there 3 times a week and walk the dogs. Now this meant I had to send a job coach with him and if one was not available I went LOL yeah joy joy. This was his "Dream Job" until..... He found out cleaning up after the dog was part of the job,yeah not his cup of tea LOL

Plus think of all the booty and leg muscles you are gaining!

I'm so proud of you because quite frankly you've braved some awfully cold and snowy days while you've been out there walking those poochies! That alone would make some people quit, but not you! Awesome!

How fun!!!  How big are these doggies??  *****ally walks who?? 

How fabulous it is that you have the energy to have a 2nd job, while doing all of the other fabulous things you do.  I could see that being a goal for myself in the future.

Linda Anne- you are such an inspiration to those of us who are following in your foot steps.  You tell it like it is while being extremely supportive.  Can we clone you??

Stay warm on this snowy, windy day!!
