Mr. Hunt and I have been doing pretty good on the P90X! I can't wait to update our results. I'm not going to lie and say we have done every single day, because we haven't, but we are keeping up.
On Wednesday our workout of the day was supposed to be chest, back, and triceps. I really don't like that one. I know it is good to tone your arms and back, but doing it everyweek is getting old. I like the cardio, ab, and leg workouts the best. So anyway, I told Mr. Hunt that i was going to walk the dogs instead at a fast pace. Well I don't really know who I was kidding.
I like to bring my phone with me so that I can listen to a little music, but I don't have anywhere to put the phone usually because my shorts don't have pockets(this was my first mistake). Also, I have to carry two grocery bags incase the dogs poo, I have to pick it up.
So, I headed out. I'm not sure why I thought I was going to be able to walk very fast because the fur babies like to sniff everything. It's alot easier when Mr. Hunt is with me because we can both walk one and prevent them from sniffing so much, and therefore walk faster. When it is just me, it's hard to control both when one walks one way and the other walks the otherway.
My second mistake was answering the phone when my mom called. As I said in an earlier post, I talk to her alot, and I tell her everything! I couldn't help but pick up the phone when it was ringing. So at this point I was trying to balance the phone between my ear and my shoulder. I can't hold the phone with one hand and two leashes in the other cause when they do go two different ways, the leashes can break my hand in two, literally.
Then the dogs decide to poo, so I had to balance the phone, hold two leashes in one hand(don't like this), pick up the poo, control the dogs so that they don't pull me onto the poo, and still have a conversation with my mom. You could probably imagine that I'm not walking very fast.
Another thing is that I have to avoid other people walking on the sidewalks when I'm by myself. I cannot control one 76 lb and one 95lb dog from wanting to meet everyone they see.
So while struggling the entire walk we were finally on our way back to the house, still talking to my mom (who by the way was walking Charlie, the family dog too). I decided to make the walk a little longer since I didn't walk very fast and go around the neighborhood pond. Well this didn't turn out very good. At this point I had two full bags of poo, two leashes, and a phone to juggle.
We walked by the edge of the pond and before I knew it, Hannah jumped in! I quickly tried to pull her out but she jumped right back in and laid in the water and dunked her head under. She must have been hot. It was all my fault I know because i was trying to do too much. She always wants to get in the pond, but normally we can control her. The main problem was that we have the retractable leashes, so with everything else in my hands, I couldn't push the button for the leash to stop her from going any further.
Wow, it was a mess! She had all that green mossy gook all over her, but she loved it. I did wear out the fur babies, they were pooped when we finally made it home. When I told Mr. Hunt what happened and complained that I couldn't walk them by myself anymore, he said "well there is one thing you could have done to make it not so hard." "what is that" I said. "call your mom when the walk was over."
Oops!
We have been calling Hannah swamp girl ever since. Where was River this whole time? Oh, you know, being a good dog and listening to me!
