Fighting For A Life Worth Living

Day 15-Silver linings

My dog is doing a little better today. He still doesn't want to put weight on his paws, but is slowly being a little more active on his own. In the meantime I am getting a killer back work out, due to us having stairs. At this point I know they would be to hard for him and I don't want him becoming more hurt than he already is. it's kind of cute, he knows when he goes outside he gets picked up and same for when he comes inside. He has started to stand on his back paws like a prairie dog allowing me to pick him up easier. The first time he acted like a prairie dog he nearly jumped into my arms. Thinking about my dog it is clear to me that as he starts feeling better he will soon be acting normal. He has not given up trying to walk just because his paws are sore and possibly his joints too. That is how I must look at getting healthy. I might be very sore and in a bad mood at first, fortunately it is only temporary and little by little I will make progress that will lead to a healthier lifestyle. It's also really easy to focus on weight and clothes fitting more loosely, however my main focus should be to get healthy from the inside out. I have looked up low carb snack ideas and there are a lot of them I like such as celery and peanut butter, almonds, cottage cheese, cucumbers and ranch, carrots and ranch, cheese, and the list goes on. I like all of those foods, now I need to make a point to eat them. This is my new goal.
