LabLessons from FitLab Deep Creek:
Just Keep Moving.
Last week, we lost Maggie the Black Lab to a fast-growing spinal tumor. We are sad (massive understatement)…and Puddin the Yellow Lab is also sad. But the best thing for all of us is to keep moving. We’re honoring Maggie’s memory by hiking trails she loved. And we’re creating a new normal for Puddin by keeping her moving.
Move more. Move often. Even when you’re sad…especially, when you’re sad…Keep moving. Remember the good times.
FitLabDeepCreek promotes #movementisalifestyle with weekly movement tips & a Labrador Lesson. This week the Labs gave us 2 tips due to the hot weather The Upside of Social Media & Heatwave Safety Tips
Our Movement Tip- You Can’t Control the Weather
LabLessons from FitLab Deep Creek:
Focus on the Positives of Social Media.
As Labradors, we love to explore trails with our humans. We’ve heard that social media has some negative aspects, but we like to focus on the positives…social media provides access to new trails to explore. Our humans discovered many of the trails we’ve been exploring in Garrett County on social media. If you find that social media is causing stress in your life, set down your device and get outside (or at least, pet a dog).
Move more. Move often. Use social media as a tool to find more ways (or places) to move.
FitLabPGH is now FitLabDeepCreek – still promoting #movementisalifestyle with weekly movement tips & a Labrador Lesson. This week the Labs took time to listen to me talk about the change to FitLabDeepCreek
Our Movement Tip Get Your Mind Moving & back next week w more tips…hard to believe it’s week 24 of ’24!!
Labrador Lesson from FitLabPGH:
Don’t let “life” get in the way of movement.
Big changes are happening at FitLabPGH…we’re hiking in new places (this is Savage River State Forest in Garrett County, MD)…we’re setting up a new HQ…and a new name (stay tuned for FitLabDCL)…busy, busy 😹. The Labs are here to remind us, and you, that when life gets busy, it’s important to make time to move. Movement helps keep the Labs calm…and helps the humans manage stress.
Move more. Move often. Remember some movement is better than no movement…and ALL movement is better with Labradors.
Labrador Lesson from FitLabPGH:
Be patient with your movement practice.
Whether you’re waiting to achieve a movement goal, or waiting for snow, try to be patient. We know; easier said than done. The Labradors have been desperately waiting for significant snowfall, and it’s finally here. They couldn’t be happier!
Move more. Move often. Remember: achieving movement goals takes time. Be patient.
