Days 18 and 19

It was bound to happen; life got in the way of my blogging.  Luckily, I have good news to report.  I have been doing great on my food and have been to several holiday events and not eaten anything off program.  I have done some smell checks on some baked goods, but that is about it.  I am so happy with this new confidence around food especially during peak yummy food season.

The biggest thing that has happened in the past few days is that I had a dog behaviorist come to the house to work with me...and the dogs.  For those of you who don't know, shortly after getting Jack, we were on a walk and he was attacked by another dog and has been fear aggressive ever since.  I have been to dog trainers in the past but they have never been able to help me with this problem.  The dog behaviorist I am now working with comes highly recommended.  He specializes in aggression so it is a perfect fit.  He worked with me for two+ hours and then we got Jack out and worked with him for 30-45 minutes.  It was like I had a new dog!!  I am not comfortable in my response time to start working with Jack and other dogs yet, but I am sure I will be ready by next week.  It is amazing how they listen and respect me know.  There is no walking ahead of me anymore while on walks.  I am so happy!!! I am so excited for the days when we can take long walks past other dogs and not have it be an issue. 

I will be posting about our progress as well as my Whole30 journey.  I am so happy for the future :)
