Maybe John and I aren't the only ones enjoying delicious southern cuisine too much!
We've now been told by two different Savannah vets that Barksdale is a "tad" overweight and needs to go on a diet. Yes, perhaps the three of us have been enjoying life post-wedding a bit too much and really, who can blame us when we now live with a couple miles of the Mellow Mushroom (mmmmmm....pizza......) and plenty of other delicious spots in town. And it's so freeing to not have to think about fitting into a specially tailored dresses, parading around in front of everyone you've ever met in your life. So perhaps it's true, perhaps we've all packed on a few extra pounds here--just enjoying life (and delicious food) to the fullest.
Another big change in our lives here, one that has certainly added to the extra padding, is the fact that walks aren't what they used to be. Back in DC, we were walking 3 miles every morning before work, and then going on at least another 2 mile walk in the evening--sometimes followed by another mile or two at night. Now, with the weather hotter, the work schedules more flexible, and the bugs a whole lot worse, we haven't been walking nearly as much. And I think that it's starting to show.
Perhaps we need to find a new way to integrate some exercise into this pack. I've been reading a lot about Doga recently and I have to say that I'm intrigued.
Relaxation? Check. Exercise? Check. Dogs? Check.
Apparently this is a fad that's been catching on more and more. I even found this (hilarious) video about it that you can watch by clicking here.
Even Savannah is getting into the act. Every first Sunday of the month at 2 p.m. in Forsyth Park, you can bring your pup for some hot yoga action (pun intended). The cost is a $10 donation, with all donations given to Save-A-Life. Here is the contact info: 898-0361 or www.thesavannahyogaroom.com.
Perhaps we'll see you there!...
