I got into work a little later than usual, but that was okay because no one was here yet. Today also marks the first day of my diet. I made a bet with my mom last night that I could lose 5 lbs in 10 days. I really think I can do it, and today is my first chance to see how I handle it. I already ate really healthy, and did not over indulge. I had fruit for breakfast, whole grains for lunch, and I will have poultry for dinner. Today, I am going to go to the gym after work and use the elliptical machine.

We didn’t feel like cooking last night, so we ate pizza for dinner instead. I had hubby go out to buy a box of pepperoni pizza which our daughter loves so much, and ate it in front of the television while watching an animated movie. We almost consumed the contents of the whole box because we haven’t had pizza in a long time, plus we were starving like mad because we cleaned the whole house before dinner time. I think it’s good that we just sit down like that and don’t bother with anything fancy for dinner as it gives us more time to bond. Although of course, the budget will not allow that, and there are also health issues to think of. But it was a fun pizza dinner, all in all.

If you love your dog like I love mine, you should consider an Orthopedic Dog Bed.  The Orthopedic dog beds are designed to take the pressure off your dogs’ joints and bones and alleviate some of the wear and tear they incur from living a dog’s life.  The orthopedic dog bed is usually made with a special product that is similar to memory foam; these beds will support your dog while they sleep.  Our Lab mix, Max, was about 9 years old when he started to stiffen up,  after talking to our veterinarian, we opted for a larger orthopedic dog bed.  This orthopedic dog bed allowed Max to stretch out his tired body (chasing squirrels is a tough job!) and get the 18 hours of sleep a busy dog needs!

When I have spare time, I like to spend it alone. My job has me around people all day, so having some alone time really centers me. I typically spend my spare time on the Internet. I watch a lot of streaming video and read a lot of blogs. After I’ve gotten tired of that, I usually crack open a good book or read the latest magazine that came in the mail. I also like to give myself spa treatments when I have spare time. I soften my feet and paint my toenails. I also shape and paint my fingernails. Sometimes I exfoliate my whole body. During this time, I listen to music or podcasts on my iPod. Sometimes I enjoy baking with whatever is in my house. If I’ve got chocolate chips, I make cookies. If I have fruit, I make cobbler.
