week one meditation

joined the class yesterday, practiced today.  As I practiced the sitting meditation, multiple thoughts came to my head, linked to meditation somehow.  I thought of how this was easier listening to someone than doing it on my own.  I initially tried the meditation at work, in between clients.  No walking meditation prior, but did listen to the mp3 on walking prior.  I feel generally I have to do my meditation at work, b/c I have my dogs and fiancé at home.  But in listening to this I realize, maybe my fiancé and I can do it together.  This and other numerous thoughts went through my head, and I had to remind myself “later”, I could acknowledge these thoughts but push them to later.  Even if these thoughts were related to meditation, I had to focus on now.  This is where guided meditation and this class can be helpful for me.  I can focus on something vs. just a phrase (which I have been doing).
-I was curious, can you do walking mindfulness while walking the dogs? This is something I already do several times a day, and feel it could be productive.
