Dog Sitting has its benefits

So, today my friend needed someone to watch her dog for a bit while she was out at a conference.  This enabled me to find some motivation to go out on a nice walk with the dog and get some exercise.  As I mentioned before, I gained four pounds over the last weekend being home, so I've been very conscious about portion control and wanting to get back into burning off that added weight.  As it sits now, I lost three of those pounds, but still have another to go to get back to my weight from last week.  I think the dog walking helped and definitely put me back in a good direction, but I am starting to feel the effects of not hitting the gym physically and mentally.  So, my plan is to get a good workout in tomorrow, wish me luck!
