Walking a Doberman (or should I say a Doberman walking me)!

Good Day, Family and Friends!

Happy Monday! I wish everyone a wonderful week.

Here is the breakdown for today:

1. Physical Health - Before I write about my exercise of the day, I am going to say that I had an excellent day food wise!
   

• Breakfast - One hard boiled egg and 2% cheese stick. One tall skinny latte (that is the size that I allow myself now).
• Mid-morning snack - 2 WASA wheat crackers. Most people do not like these, but I find them good.
• Lunch - grilled churrasco, grilled mushrooms and zucchini, salad (lettuce, avocado, tomato, and vinaigrette spray dressing), one teaspoon black olive hummus. This was all portioned and shared with Misfit Debutant.
  
• Mid-afternoon snack - half cup of 1% cottage cheese and one small peach
• Dinner - 4 ounces chicken breast and about 2 tablespoons home-made tabbouleh
• Water - I had about 8 cups throughout the day.

For exercise, I walked 20 minutes with Misfit Debutant after lunch around the outdoor mall. After work, I walked Gold (the best dobe!) to the bay. My mom joined us.When you walk him, you get a pretty good workout. Man, it is tough controlling a 72 pound doberman that just wants to get to the water already!

2. Mental Health - I will be reading 30 minutes tonight. I will have to let you know about this tomorrow as I have not decided what yet!

3. Emotional Health - Today both my walks made me happy. It is really nice just to get outdoors with someone else. There is something about a brisk walk in the fresh air that revives you. I definitely was in need of that to start the work week off.

Pictures for today:

I brought my camera on the walk with me. I took pictures of: Gold walking me, all of us at the bay, and of the beautiful reflection of the bay today. If you would like me to send you the whole album, please just let me know (48 pictures). If not, enjoy the pictures that I selected for the blog. I hope that the pictures inspire you to get out in that fresh air and exercise or simply enjoy the day!! :)

Just as a side note: I really do feel a lot more healthy than even 1 week ago! I am truly enjoying my new 30 minutes rule and writing about it.

Love,
Lulu

P.S. The comments with tips, encouragement, etc have been great. Please keep them up! And at this point, I invite you all to share the blog with your friends, etc. I am more comfortable with it. I have to go, I have a dog barking and whining at me for attention! Little does he know that I am writing about him! LOL.
